Bam Adebayo Remains Absent

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo is still away from the team as of Friday. The big man has until Sunday to clear the league's health and safety protocols. Otherwise, Dewayne Dedmon and Omer Yurtseven will be asked to fill the void during Game 1. Often times, head coach Erik Spoelstra favors Dedmon in his rotation […]

Jarrett Allen Will Suit Up On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Allen has been out for over a month, but will make his return to the court for their win or go home matchup. Fantasy managers should expect Allen to be in the starting five and to play […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Remains Uncertain For Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been playing through his ankle issue lately, but we'll see if he can give it a go on Friday. Otherwise, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would be in line for more playing time. Although, Kevin Huerter and […]

Stephen Curry Likely To Suit Up For Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is reportedly looking good ahead of Saturday's Game 1 matchup. The organization mentioned that Curry looked fine during Thursday's scrimmage.

Paul George Won't Play Versus Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has been ruled out for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The All-Star forward will sit out due to the league's health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19. This is obviously a huge blow to the Clippers, but this team is used to playing without […]

Carson Kelly To Sit Out On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. Kelly is 0-for-15 on the season with six strikeouts, so he could certainly use a day off to try and gain some momentum. Jose Herrera is bat eighth and cover behind home plate against righty […]

Taijuan Walker Continues Making Progress

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (shoulder) was able to play catch for the second day in a row on Friday. Walker is feeling good and expects to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.

John Collins Gets Through Thursday's Practice

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) was able to go through a 4-on-4 session at practice on Thursday. His status for Friday's game hasn't been updated, but it appears Collins is heading in the right direction. The Hawks play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday for the final playoff spot. De'Andre Hunter and Danilo Gallinari […]

Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play In Game 1

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's Game 1 contest against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star guard continues to deal with a lingering calf issue, but is hopeful to play soon. His next chance to play would be on Monday, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see. […]

Stephen Curry Is On Track To Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is on track to return to the court for Saturday's Game 1 contest. The organization plans to have Curry scrimmage during Thursday's practice. The hope is that Curry doesn't suffer any setbacks and can play against the Denver Nuggets this weekend. It's uncertain whether or not the Warriors […]

Zion Williamson Remains Without A Timetable

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (knee) is making solid progress, but has no timetable for his return. It doesn't sound like Williamson is going to make it on the court during the postseason. The Pelicans must beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday in order to avoid elimination. The superstar forward has been out […]

Taurean Prince Able To Practice On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (knee) was able to practice without any issues on Thursday.

It's unknown if Prince will see that […]

Ben Simmons Could Return For Game 4

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) could return to the court before the end of the first round.

Although, it's uncertain how much Simmons will play or how the Nets plan to use him in […]

C.J. McCollum Goes Off On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard C.J. McCollum was a huge reason why his team won against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. McCollum finished with a team-high 32 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 39 minutes of playing time. He was unstoppable in the first half when he knocked down 10-of-12 shots for 27 points. […]

Brandon Ingram Plays Well In Victory Over Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hamstring) was able to suit up and help the team during Wednesday's play-in game against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed most of March and the final three games of the season due to a lingering hamstring issue. However, he looked fantastic on Wednesday and helped his team get […]

Cameron Payne Will Play In Game 1

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (knee) is good to go for Sunday's Game 1 contest. He missed the final two games of the regular season, but was able to practice on Wednesday. The Suns were likely being cautious and holding Payne out as a precaution. He should play his normal backup minutes off the bench, […]

Javier Baez Scratched On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It appears Baez is dealing with right thumb soreness, so the team will take the cautious approach here. This doesn't sound like something that is going to keep Baez sidelined for long. In the meantime, Harold Castro will […]

Nelson Cruz Is Back In The Lineup On Wednesday

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran slugger sat out their last contest due to groin soreness. Cruz was able to get through his pregame routine without issues, so he'll return to the lineup. He'll bat third and serve as […]

Michael Pineda Not Quite Ready

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Pineda will make another start in Triple-A on Sunday. The veteran right-hander arrived late to spring training due to a visa issue. He threw 55 pitches during his start in Toledo on Tuesday. It sounds like the Tigers want to give Pineda at least one more start before bringing him […]

Alec Mills Won't Be Activated On Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills (back) won't be activated in time to start Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He has been dealing with a lower back strain, but was able to throw a 77-pitch bullpen session on Sunday. However, the Cubs are going to take things slow and make sure Mills is 100 […]

Lucas Sims Could Be Activated For Next Homestand

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims (elbow) could be activated in time for the team's next homestand, according to manager David Bell. The 27-year-old will have a few more outings in the minors before rejoining the big league club. He has been slowed down a bit by elbow soreness, but should have a significant role […]

Rhys Hoskins Not Playing On Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Rhys Hoskins (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. It appears the Phillies are giving Hoskins a rest day, so he should be back in their lineup for their next contest. In the meantime, Johan Camargo will cover first base and bat seventh versus […]

Trevor Story Returns To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story (illness) will be back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This comes as a surprise considering manager Alex Cora mentioned Story was likely to miss this game. However, it sounds like Story is well enough to play, so fantasy managers should make sure he's […]

Xander Bogaerts Gets Day Off

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This sounds like a routine day off, so fantasy managers don't have anything to worry about. Christian Arroyo will draw the start at shortstop and bat sixth versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Arroyo doesn't bring much […]

Pacers Could Have Interest In Russell Westbrook

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook is coming off a rough campaign and could need a change of scenery. However, the All-Star guard has a $47 million player option that he is unlikely to decline. Luckily, he is on an expiring deal, which could increase his value in the trade market. The Indiana Pacers are […]

Malcolm Brogdon Feels Good

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon mentioned that he feels good heading into the offseason. Brogdon dealt with multiple injuries throughout the season that caused him to miss 46 games.
