Jalen Smith Won't Play Against Memphis

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He wasn't originally on the injury report, but is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Isaiah Jackson (head) will join Smith on the sideline for Thursday's game. Goga Bitadze should make another start and get as many […]

Tyrese Haliburton Is Expected To Play On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is dealing with lower back soreness, but will play in both games of the back-to-back set. Keifer Sykes and Lance Stephenson should lose value with Haliburton suiting up here. Fantasy managers in season long formats should […]

Larry Nance Jr. To Make Team Debut On Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) has been cleared to suit up for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He will make his team debut for New Orleans, but is expected to be limited. It's unlikely that Nance normally has a big enough role to warrant rostering in most formats. Possibly, he could […]

Ja Morant To Miss At Least Two More Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. He was examined on Thursday and the hope was that Morant would be able to return relatively shortly. Sadly, the All-Star guard will be sidelined until at least the final week of the regular season. Tyus Jones […]

Brandon Ingram Won't Play Versus Bulls

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This isn't too shocking considering Ingram was listed as doubtful heading into this game. Devonte' Graham should remain in the starting five and have increased value. C.J. McCollum is expected to be the focal point on offense […]

OG Anunoby Has A Chance To Play Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (finger) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the day, but has a real shot at playing on Thursday. However, Anunoby hasn't played since February 16, so expect him to be on a minutes limit. That being […]

LaMelo Ball Scores 32 Points In Loss

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball did all he could during Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks. The young guard finished with 19 points at halftime. Sadly, no one else on the team was able to score more than that through the entire game. Ball finished with 32 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in […]

Obi Toppin Surprises On Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin received his second straight start against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Julius Randle (quad) was sidelined again, so head coach Tom Thibodeau gave Toppin another chance. The young forward recorded his second ever double-double during Wednesday's victory. He finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists in 40 […]

DeMar DeRozan Tagged As Questionable For Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. DeRozan played in both of the back-to-back contests earlier in the week. That being said, possibly the Bulls decide to take the cautious approach with DeRozan. Zach LaVine (knee) is tagged as probable, so he'll likely have […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out For Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not good news to see the Wizards ruling out Kuzma well before tip-off. Rui Hachimura should remain in the starting five, while Deni Avdija should get more playing time as well. Both players have been putting up […]

Kris Dunn To Move Into Starting Five

Portland Trail Blazers guard Kris Dunn will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Brandon Williams has been starting, but will head to the second unit for this contest. Dunn has looked good during his time with Portland, so they'll give him a promotion to the starting lineup. He […]

Lonzo Ball To Pause His Rehab

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will put his rehab stint on pause for at least the next 10 days. The young guard won't be running for at least another week or so, which is not great news for fantasy managers. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned Ball's knee hasn't been responding well to rehab. At […]

Andrew Wiggins Listed As Probable Versus Magic

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (knee) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with a left knee contusion, but should be able to suit up here. Stephen Curry (foot) remains sidelined, so Wiggins and Klay Thompson will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense. […]

Markelle Fultz Not On Injury Report For Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so fantasy managers should expect Fultz to suit up here. That means, he'll most likely be out for Wednesday's contest, but at least fantasy managers can […]

Zach LaVine Considered Questionable For Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bulls rest their star guard. The playoffs are right around the corner, so Chicago wants to make sure LaVine is healthy for […]

Kyle Kuzma Won't Play Versus Rockets

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It sounds like the Wizards are being overly cautious here, but Kuzma won't need further testing. Rui Hachimura should move into the starting five with Deni Avdija getting additional playing time. Both have streaming appeal, but Avdija has […]

Derrick White, Grant Williams To Start Against Thunder

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White and forward Grant Williams will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Marcus Smart (illness) and Robert Williams III (knee) are unavailable for this contest. White has been in a bad slump lately, but does have plenty of upside in the starting five. […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Return On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's back after a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. He'll slide right back into his spot in the starting five, which will push Tre Mann to the second unit. However, Mann will still have some […]

Alex Caruso Slides Into The Starting Five

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Ayo Dosunmu will head to the second unit with Caruso taking over in the starting five. Despite this, fantasy managers shouldn't panic about Dosunmu's value. This move was likely to help the Bulls starting five on defense, […]

Darius Bazley Will Play On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bazley is battling an illness, but will look to top his 18-point performance from Sunday. Aleksej Pokusevski won't have as big of a role with Bazley active in this game. Bazley has been a strong fantasy option lately […]

Goran Dragic To Start Versus Jazz

Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic (knee) will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will suit up in this one. Kyrie Irving will sit out due to his vaccination status, so Dragic should see a boost in fantasy value. Also, […]

Georges Niang, Paul Millsap Starting On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forwards Georges Niang and Paul Millsap will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Both James Harden and Joel Embiid will take the night off due to rest purposes. That means, Niang and Millsap will join Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle and Tobias Harris in the starting five. Maxey […]

Nicolas Claxton Gets Spot Start

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton will receive a spot start versus the Utah Jazz on Monday. Normally, Andre Drummond (illness) starts, but he's sidelined due to a non-COVID related illness. Claxton typically is a reliable streaming option whenever he's in the starting five. It's a tough matchup, so possibly he has less value than normal, […]

Hunter Harvey Joins Nationals

The Washington Nationals have claimed pitcher Hunter Harvey off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. He was designated for assignment by San Francisco last Monday. The 27-year-old will get a much needed fresh start with the rebuilding Nationals. Harvey has electrifying stuff, but can't seem to stay healthy. He has struggled during his brief time […]

Steven Brault Gets A Minor League Deal

Chicago Cubs pitcher Steven Brault will receive a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 29-year-old is currently dealing with an injury setback, so the deal changed from a major league deal to minor league. Brault will make $1.5 million with incentives to make additional money, assuming he makes the big league […]

Nick Senzel Avoids Arbitration

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel signed a one-year deal worth $1.2 million to avoid arbitration with the organization. This is a good deal for the oft-injured outfielder. The 26-year-old should get a chance to start everyday in center field and prove himself. He has a solid mix of power and speed that should make him […]

Brennen Davis Listed As Day-to-Day

Chicago Cubs outfielder Brennen Davis (knee) is listed as day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch during Monday's Cactus League contest. The 22-year-old prospect took a pitch off his knee during the second inning and exited the game. The team likely pulled Davis out of the game as a precaution. It doesn't sound like the […]

Jerami Grant Won't Play Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This will be the second game in a row that Grant has missed due to right knee inflammation. Marvin Bagley III started at power forward on Thursday, but Saddiq Bey benefited the most with a 51-point performance. […]

Cory Joseph Might Sit Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (rest) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Honestly, his availability could depend on the status of Killian Hayes (head) who is listed as probable. The Pistons would likely give Joseph the night off, assuming Hayes can play. Otherwise, Joseph could play Monday and have […]

Jae Crowder Forced To Exit Early On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (ankle) was forced to exit early during Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings. The veteran forward was taken to the locker room during the third quarter due to a right ankle sprain. He landed awkwardly on the foot of another player while shooting. It's a shame because Crowder just returned […]
