Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Franklin Perez (shoulder) has resumed his throwing program. The 24-year-old right-hander was once a highly regarded prospect and part of the Justin Verlander trade from 2017. Sadly, Perez has struggled to stay healthy and has not pitched since 2019. He underwent right shoulder surgery last May, but appears to be on […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Likely To Start Everyday At Third Base

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is expected to open the season as the starting third baseman. Over the offseason, the Rangers overhauled their infield by adding Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. That being said, Kiner-Falefa was expected to compete for the starting third base job. However, top prospect Josh Jung (shoulder) is going to miss […]

Christian Wood Will Play On Thursday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Cardinals Cut Malcolm Butler

The Arizona Cardinals have decided to move on from defensive back Malcolm Butler. He didn't play during the 2021 season due to a personal matter. He was released from the reserve/retired list, so he can pursue a new organization in 2022. The former Pro Bowl defensive back should be able to find another team willing […]

Cole Beasley Could Become Cap Casualty

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley could see his time with the organization end this offseason. The soon to be 33-year-old comes with a $7.6 million cap hit for the 2022 campaign. His production took a significant hit in 2021, which could lead to the organization moving on from Beasley this offseason. The Bills would […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Tagged As Doubtful For Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was held out of Wednesday's game and it seems unlikely that he'll suit up here. The Rockets are probably going to hold out Porter during the final game before the All-Star break. Dennis Schroder started […]

Tristan Thompson Expected To Sign With Bulls

Indiana Pacers center Tristan Thompson has been waived by the organization. He was traded to Indiana at the deadline and didn't last long on the rebuilding Pacers.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has been working his way back all season long. He recently mentioned that he'll likely spend some time in the G-League before returning to the Warriors roster.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) is going to miss at least two weeks of action.

RJ Barrett Likely To Be Ready After The All-Star Break

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (ankle) should be ready to play after the All-Star break, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. The organization believes Barrett is close, but wants to let him rest through the break. Quentin Grimes has surprisingly played very well in the absence of Barrett. It'll be interesting to see how […]

Jimmy Butler Expected To Play Versus Hornets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) is expected to play during Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He will warm up with the intention of playing, so he should be out there unless he suffers a last second setback. It doesn't sound like the Heat are too worried about the injury. Otherwise, they'd hold out […]

Daniel Gafford Returning Versus Nets

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He hasn't played since Feb. 5, so fantasy managers should expect Gafford to be limited with his minutes. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is likely to return after the All-Star break. That being said, Gafford might not […]

DeMarcus Cousins Uncertain For Wednesday

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully nothing serious. He has been a decent backup center in Denver, but doesn't provide much fantasy value. Zeke Nnaji (hamstring) has already been ruled out for this […]

Dennis Schroder To Start On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will take over for Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) on Wednesday. Despite starting, Schroder is a risky DFS option. The Rockets have no long term plans for […]

Gary Payton II Moves Into Starting Five On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Jonathan Kuminga has looked solid in the starting unit lately, so this move is a bit odd. Regardless, Payton will get the nod, but isn't much of a fantasy asset. It's unlikely that Payton does […]

Alex Caruso Could Resume Shooting Soon

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) is expected to resume shooting and dribbling within the next week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He has been doing some conditioning drills, but isn't close to returning to the court. The assumption is that Caruso is still a month away from returning. Fantasy managers should consider stashing […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Won't Play Versus Suns

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are going to be shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also sidelined. Dennis Schroder (Achilles) is likely to see a bigger role in the rotation, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Josh Christopher should be asked […]

Christian Wood Won't Play Against Suns

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out as a precaution. Alperen Sengun will move into the starting five for Wednesday's contest. He'll be a fantastic streaming option and someone worth looking […]

Fred Vanvleet Won't Play Against Minnesota

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. VanVleet is still expected to participate in All-Star weekend, but will sit this game out as a precaution. Pascal Siakam is expected to run the offense with Vanvleet sidelined. He'll be a strong fantasy option without Vanvleet on […]

Javonte Green Will Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Javonte Green (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was tagged as questionable earlier in the day, but played 35 minutes on Monday. Zach LaVine (knee) is sidelined through the All-Star break, so Green should have a significant role. DeMar DeRozan will continue to have his value […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Return After All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) visited with a knee specialist earlier in the week. The appointment went well and LaVine is supposed to return after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Fans shouldn't expect LaVine to participate in All-Star weekend, but we'll see what happens. Until his return, DeMar DeRozan will […]

Derrick Rose Not Cleared For Contact

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has not been cleared for contact, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Rose has been making progress, but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. He's obviously going to be sidelined until the All-Star break, but hopefully he can return shortly after that. Rose wasn't a great fantasy asset […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Cleared To Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been cleared for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was uncertain for this game heading into the day, but he'll make his 12th straight appearance on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has moved to the bench, but it has only improved his fantasy value. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable putting […]
