Scottie Barnes Removed From Injury Report

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He was rested on Saturday, but Barnes should be back in action here. His return should push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Precious Achiuwa won't have as big of a role with […]

Jerami Grant Likely To Miss Road Trip

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (thumb) is unlikely to return to the team during their four-game road trip. Grant was assigned to the Pistons G-League affiliate on Monday. He will continue to rehab there after undergoing right thumb surgery earlier in the season. Once Grant returns, Hamidou Diallo is expected to shift back to the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Will Attempt To Play

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) will warm up and see if he can play against the Miami Heat on Monday. He has missed each of the last four games due to a left ankle issue. The Raptors could certainly use Trent back on the floor, but fantasy managers will have to wait and […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He tweaked his ankle on Sunday and was unable to return to action. The Suns are going to take the cautious approach here and let Ayton rest. His next chance to get on the court will be […]

Cameron Johnson Likely Returning Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are expected to ease him back into his role. That being said, it's unlikely that Johnson has much fantasy appeal […]

Bam Adebayo Hopeful For Monday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Adebayo has been targeting Monday as his return date after a lengthy absence. In fact, Adebayo has been sidelined since November 29 due to a thumb injury. Fantasy managers should expect Adebayo to be on a minutes limit […]

Norman Powell Not Available Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has cleared from the league's health and safety protocols. However, Powell needs to regain his conditioning, so he'll sit out at least one more game. That means that Ben McLemore and Nassir Little should carry plenty of […]

Hassan Whiteside Won't Play On Monday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside will not suit up for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been sidelined due January 10 due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when he'll get back on the court, but he didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway. Robert Gobert is […]

George Hill Starting Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's not exactly the most attractive DFS option, but is worth a look on Monday. The Bucks don't have a ton of options, so Hill should play minutes into the 30s versus Atlanta. He could be a […]

Onyeka Okongwu Starts On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Clint Capela (ankle) remains sidelined, so Okongwu gets a shot in the starting lineup. He should be worth snagging in most formats as a streaming option right now. Okongwu will play roughly 30 minutes or so with […]

Rudy Gobert Returns For Sunday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert will return for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert has missed each of the last four games while following the league's health and safety protocols. He has finally cleared protocols and can return to action against Nikola Jokic on Sunday. This is huge for the Jazz who desperately needed […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play Against Knicks

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. This is not a good sign with the Hawks already shorthanded for Saturday's game. Kevin Huerter, Danilo Gallinari (Achilles), and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will all see increased roles with Bogdanovic out. Gallinari is a little banged up, but […]

Derrick White Will Play Versus Clippers

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White will be available for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, so he'll be available on Saturday. Although, head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned White could come off the bench and have a minutes limit. That being said, he might not […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out Versus Knicks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Capela will miss his fourth game in a row due to an ankle issue. Onyeka Okongwu should move into the starting five again with Capela sidelined. He could have some deep league appeal, but hasn't […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Not Available On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is also sidelined, so the Nets are going to be shorthanded in the front court. Aldridge will miss his fifth straight game here and can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. […]

Kemba Walker Not Playing Against Hawks

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker is currently not with the organization due to his left knee soreness. Although, it's a one-game road trip, so possibly Walker returns next game. His next chance to play would be Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. […]

Kyrie Irving Unavailable For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't be available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Irving is ineligible to play home games due to his vaccination status. There are rumors that Irving could become a full-time player soon, but who knows when that will happen. Until then, James Harden and Kevin Durant will […]

Matisse Thybulle, Danny Green Ruled Out Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) and forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Thybulle took a fall during Friday's game and was forced out of that contest. As a result, Thybulle will miss at least Saturday's game. Green has been dealing with lingering hip pain for […]

Lonzo Ball Will Miss Saturday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is a tough blow with the Bulls already without Zach LaVine (knee) and Alex Caruso (protocols) on Saturday. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White will see significant playing time with Ball out now. White is the much better […]

Mo Bamba Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. There's a good chance that Bamba misses his third straight game due to a right toe sprain. His absence would likely mean another start for Robin Lopez. It's worth noting that Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) has already been […]

Khem Birch Not Available For Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (nose) is not available for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Birch suffered a nose fracture during Friday's contest. His timetable is unknown, but the organization reportedly has taken care of the issue. In the meantime, Chris Boucher should be asked to pick up the slack. He has looked fantastic […]

Larry Nance Jr. Remains Out Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will remain out for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was expected to be re-evaluated, but it appears the team isn't ready to clear him to play yet. Possibly, something changes closer to game time, but fantasy managers should expect to be without Nance for at […]

Joel Embiid Uncertain For Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (elbow) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. The Sixers will already be without three players, so losing Embiid is a tough blow. Andre Drummond would move into the starting five, assuming Embiid cannot go. Drummond would have decent streaming appeal and be a possible low […]

Gary Trent Jr. Won't Play Against Bucks

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This marks the fourth game in a row that Trent has missed due to a left ankle issue. Svi Mykhailiuk should see increased playing time without Trent in the lineup. Although, he hasn't done much on the […]

Scottie Barnes Upgraded To Doubtful

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been upgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was originally ruled out, but head coach Nick Nurse said it's possible that Barnes plays here. Barnes returned on Friday and finished with eight points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes. Clearly, Barnes isn't over his […]

Calvin Ridley Could Be Traded

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has a strong possibility of being traded, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The Falcons are hopeful that Ridley does return to the organization next season. Although, the two sides haven't spoken in months after Ridley stepped away from football in October. There doesn't appear to be any team […]

James Conner Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) was back at practice on Saturday. This is great news after Conner missed two straight practices due to a ribs issue he suffered in Week 18. His status for Monday's Wild Card game against the Los Angeles Rams appears to be headed in the right direction. Although, it […]

Giovani Bernard Activated From Injured Reserve

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard (hip) has been activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. That means, the veteran running back will be available for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. As of right now, Bernard is expected to split up the carries with Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell. None of […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Activated Off Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) has been activated off the injured reserve. He has missed the last three months while recovering from shoulder surgery. The assumption was that Smith-Schuster wouldn't play again this season. However, he will be available for Sunday's Wild Card matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 25-year-old hasn't practiced […]

Bam Adebayo Targeting Monday For Return

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is targeting Monday against the Toronto Raptors as a return date. It has been roughly six weeks since Adebayo last took the court. Luckily, Omer Yurtseven and Dewayne Dedmon have helped fill the void while Adebayo has been sidelined. Yurtseven is averaging 10.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals […]
