Nicolas Batum Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran forward has missed 10 of the last 11 games. Justise Winslow has moved back into the rotation while Batum has been sidelined. However, he is only playing minutes in the teens, so Isaiah Hartenstein is […]

Killian Hayes Practices On Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (thumb) was able to practice on Tuesday. That is good news after he aggravated his thumb issue during Sunday's game. He missed four games in November due to a sprained left thumb. Right now, Hayes seems to be trending in the right direction since he practiced on Tuesday. He should […]

Deandre Ayton Possibly Returning On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. The hope is that Ayton can return here, but the Suns won't host shootaround on Tuesday. That means, fantasy managers will likely […]

Jalen Smith Ruled Out On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young forward will sit this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. Starting center Deandre Ayton (illness) remains listed as questionable, which means JaVale McGee could have plenty of streaming value here. McGee should already […]

Bruce Brown Likely To Miss Time

Brooklyn Nets forward Bruce Brown won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It sounds like he is going to miss time after entering the league's safety protocols. Unless tonight was a false positive, Brown is likely to miss the next six games. That would certainly be frustrating since the Nets are already […]

Kevin Durant Available Against Raptors

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is great news with James Harden and a handful of others unavailable due to safety protocols. Durant will be a popular DFS option for Tuesday's small slate. He'll be asked to do everything he can with guys like Patty […]

James Harden Enters Safety Protocols

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It sounds like Harden is going to miss some time unless he produces two negative PCR tests over a 48-hour period. Fantasy managers will have to be patient and hope for the best. Possibly, Harden can return in time for […]

Alec Burks Returning On Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (personal) is available for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was away from the team due to a personal matter, but will be back for this one. His return should push Derrick Rose back to the bench. Fantasy managers should check their lineups and make sure Burks […]

Onyeka Okongwu Will Return Soon

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (personal) will return to the team later this week. He hasn't played all year after having shoulder surgery and is currently away due to a personal matter. Once he returns, Okongwu is expected to come off the bench behind Clint Capela. There should be plenty of minutes for him since […]

LaMelo Ball Cleared To Return

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball has been cleared to return and was assigned to the G-League. He'll join Jalen McDaniels and Mason Plumlee while they all build up their conditioning after being sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 safety protocols. Once he returns, Ball will slide immediately back into the starting five. Until then, Terry […]

Jonathan Kuminga Could See More Minutes

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been brilliant and deserves more playing time, according to head coach Steve Kerr. It has been tough for the rookie forward to carve out a consistent role for himself. That being said, Kuminga hasn't been much of a fantasy option, but that could be changing soon. It's worth […]

LaMarcus Aldridge, James Johnson Enter Safety Protocols

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge and forward James Johnson have entered the league's health and safety protocols. That being said, both players will miss Tuesday's game alongside DeAndre Bembry, Jevon Carter, and Paul Millsap. Cam Thomas, Bruce Brown, Nicolas Claxton, and Day'Ron Sharpe should all benefit without these players unavailable. Brown could have a significant […]

Kevin Durant Questionable Versus Raptors

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is not good news with the Nets already shorthanded due to safety protocols. Bruce Brown would likely be asked to join the starting five, assuming Durant is out. Also, Cam Thomas would see additional playing time off […]

Wayne Gallman Claimed Off Waivers By Vikings

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has been placed on the COVID-19 list. That means, Kene Nwangwu is the only available back behind Dalvin Cook. That being said, the Vikings decided to claim Wayne Gallman off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. This season, Gallman has 104 yards on 28 attempts, so there's not a ton […]

Josh Gordon Placed On COVID-19 List

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon has been placed on the COVID-19 list. Gordon is COVID positive, but he is also vaccinated. That being said, it's uncertain if he'll get cleared in time for Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. Regardless, Gordon should be able to suit up in Week […]

Kadarius Toney Placed On COVID-19 List

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney has been placed on the COVID-19 list. If vaccinated, he can return to the Giants after two negative tests 24 hours apart. Right now his status for Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys is uncertain. Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay, and Sterling Shepard would be in line to start, […]

Travis Homer Hopeful To Play In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (calf, hamstring) is hopeful to play in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Pete Carroll. This doesn't mean a whole lot since Rashaad Penny has emerged as the lead back. Penny looked sharp versus the Houston Texans in Week 14, so the Seahawks should […]

Jared Cook Misses Monday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook (quad) did not suit up for practice on Monday. There hasn't been much information on this injury, so it might not be serious. Regardless, the 34-year-old veteran hasn't been much of a fantasy option anyway. Donald Parham (knee) sat out of Monday's practice as well, so the Chargers […]

Malcolm Brown Returning To Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown (quad) is set to resume practicing this week. He has missed six straight games and there haven't been many updates on Brown lately. However, he couldn't be returning at a better time. Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, and Phillip Lindsay are all on the COVID list. Brown could be asked […]

Justin Holiday Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday (conditioning) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He cleared quarantine a few days ago and returned to practice on Sunday. That being said, it's uncertain if Holiday will be ready to play on Monday. Chris Duarte stands to gain or lose the most depending […]

Aaron Gordon Listed As Questionable For Monday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He is reportedly dealing with lower back pain, so this will likely be a game time decision. Zeke Nnaji and Jeff Green would gain the most playing time in the absence of Gordon. Both could be possible low […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Progressing In Workouts

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) has progressed in his basketball activities and is doing on-court workouts. Despite that, Bogdanovic is likely still another week or two away from returning. He must get through non-contact work before he moves into contact drills. In the meantime, Cam Reddish should continue getting increased touches and playing time. […]

Mason Plumlee Cleared Safety Protocols

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. He has been assigned to the Hornets' G-League affiliate to get up his conditioning. There is a chance that Plumlee is able to return for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Until then, P.J. Washington (illness) should continue getting increased playing […]

George Hill Won't Play On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He made his return to the lineup on Sunday, but will sit out the back end of the back-to-back set. The Bucks aren't going to push the veteran guard too hard while he works his way back from […]

P.J. Washington Probable For Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (illness) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He should be back here after sitting out due to a non-COVID related illness. His return should push Vernon Carey Jr. back to the bench. Fantasy managers should double check before tip-off, but it sounds safe to plug […]

Mo Bamba Suffers Ankle Injury On Sunday

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (ankle) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played only 12 minutes before suffering a right ankle sprain. Robin Lopez checked into the game, but Wendell Carter Jr. was out there towards the end of the game. The good new is, the Magic […]

Gabriel Davis Makes A Splash In Week 14

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis made the most of his chances during the Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Davis hauled in five of his eight targets for 43 yards and one touchdown in the overtime loss. The absence of Emmanuel Sanders (knee) likely helped Davis get more involved in this game. […]

Dawson Knox Has Strong Performance Against Tampa Bay

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox gave fantasy managers something to be happy about during the Week 14 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hauled in seven of his nine targets for 60 yards and one touchdown in the overtime loss. It marked his eighth touchdown on the season and third in his last […]

Cole Beasley Posts Nine-Catch Performance

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley finally bounced back during the Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran slot receiver hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 64 yards in the overtime loss. Those nine receptions were the most for Beasley in his last six games. The absence of Emmanuel Sanders […]

Stefon Diggs Targeted 13 Times Against Buccaneers

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs put together an solid performance during the Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hauled in seven of his 13 targets for 74 yards in the overtime loss. It could've been a much bigger game if not for two absolutely brutal no-calls on what appeared to be […]
