Zach LaVine Won't Be Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He played in six straight games, so it's not surprising that the Bulls are giving their banged up star a rest day. DeMar DeRozan should see increased usage without LaVine on the court. Also, Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte […]

Goga Bitadze Ruled Out On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He will miss his fourth game in a row here due to right foot soreness. Luckily, Oshae Brissett (ankle) is active for this game, but the Pacers remain extremely thin at center. Last game, Terry Taylor went off […]

Doug McDermott Removed From Injury Report

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has been dealing with a right ankle sprain, but is expected to play on Friday. His return should move Devin Vassell back to the second unit. Both players have been decent scoring options […]

Gordon Hayward Active For Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward is available for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hasn't played since Jan. 21 but has been ramping up his conditioning. Hayward will make his return to the court and should play his normal role of around 30 minutes. Kelly Oubre Jr. is likely going to take the biggest […]

John Collins Exits Early On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (shoulder) was unfortunately not able to get through Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He exited during the fourth quarter with what appears to be a separated shoulder. This could be an issue that forces Collins to miss multiple games. The All-Star break is approaching, so maybe the Hawks take […]

De'Aaron Fox Won't Play Against Warriors

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fox will miss his seventh game in a row due to left ankle soreness. It's uncertain if Fox will suit up again before the All-Star break. Tyrese Haliburton will continue to be a strong fantasy option while […]

Gary Payton II Not Listed On Injury Report

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (shin) has been removed from the injury report heading into Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He exited Tuesday's game due to a shin injury and wasn't able to return. However, it appears Payton is fine and will play on Thursday. He could have some deep league value, […]

Ivica Zubac Ruled Out Against Lakers

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. They will once again be without their starting center due to right calf soreness. Serge Ibaka is expected to move into the starting five for Thursday's contest. He finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds during […]

Moses Moody To Start On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody will remain in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He dropped a career-high 20 points during his last contest. However, that was a game where the Warriors decided to rest a majority of their starting unit. Moody will be joined by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, […]

LeBron James Won't Play Against Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was highly unlikely that James was going to play in this game. His timetable remains unknown and there's a chance that James sits out until the All-Star break. In the meantime, Anthony Davis and Russell […]

C.J. Uzomah Misses Thursday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (knee) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice. He suffered an MCL sprain during the AFC Championship game. Luckily, the Super Bowl is still 10 days away, so Uzomah has time to get ready for the big game. His status for the Super Bowl likely won't be known until next […]

Tyler Higbee Held Out Of Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was held out of Thursday's practice. He suffered a sprained MCL during the NFC Championship game and hasn't practiced since then. To be fair, the Super Bowl is 10 days away, so Higbee has plenty of time to prepare and get back on the field. The Rams […]

Cam Akers Sidelined During Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) has missed each of the last two practices. He injured his shoulder during the first half of the NFC Championship game. Akers played through the shoulder issue, but has struggled on the ground during the postseason. It's remarkable that Akers is playing at all after suffering an […]

Van Jefferson Limited During Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) was limited during Thursday's practice. Jefferson aggravated his knee injury during the NFC Championship game. However, the fact he is on the practice field is good news for his availability for the Super Bowl. He finished with two receptions for nine yards during the victory over the […]

Patrick Beverley Available Against Pistons

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) will be available for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was previously listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain. However, Beverley will suit up and move into the starting five with D'Angelo Russell (shin) sitting out. There should be plenty of fantasy value for Beverley and […]

Khem Birch Available Against Bulls

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (nose) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has not appeared in a game since January 14 and underwent nose surgery. His return will impact the fantasy value of Chris Boucher, and Precious Achiuwa. It's uncertain how big of a role Birch will have […]

Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder Available On Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and forward Jae Crowder (wrist) are available for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players were able to play on Tuesday without any issues. They should resume their normal roles without any limitations on Thursday. Bismack Biyombo and Cameron Johnson will be impacted the most by Ayton and […]

LeBron James Doubtful Versus Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise as James is expected to miss additional time due to a swollen knee. Stanley Johnson is expected to remain in the starting five, but doesn't have great streaming appeal. Instead, […]

Darius Garland Misses Thursday's Practice

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) was unable to participate in Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last two games due to back soreness. There's a good chance that he sits out again on Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. Brandon Goodwin played well as the starter last game. He'd be worth a look […]

Zach LaVine Cleared On Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) has been cleared to play on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors. He was downgraded earlier in the day due to back spasms, but will make his return to the court here. He should resume his normal role in the starting five and there is no word on LaVine being […]

Dejounte Murray Ruled Out For Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He was previously tagged as questionable due to a left wrist sprain, but the Spurs will play it safe here. Derrick White should see a spike in usage with Murray off the court. That means, White is […]

De'Aaron Fox Questionable Against Warriors

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fox has missed each of the last six games, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sit again here. Tyrese Haliburton has been fantastic in his absence and Davion Mitchell has stepped up as well. Both […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the fourth game in a row that Russell has missed due to a left shin contusion. Patrick Beverley is expected to move into the starting five and have an increased role. Anthony Edwards should see more […]

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Sidelined At Least Six Weeks

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) is not expected to take the court anytime soon. He missed Wednesday's game with what the team believed was a sprained right foot. In fact, Robinson-Earl suffered a broken third metatarsal, which will sideline him for at least six weeks. The organization will re-evaluate the rookie forward after […]

Cade Cunningham Not Available On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered a right hip pointer during Tuesday's contest. The Pistons are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void of Cunningham. Cory Joseph, Killian Hayes, Frank Jackson, and Hamidou Diallo are all players who could […]

Anthony Davis To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It seems normal for Davis to be listed as probable, but there was really no doubt in his status here. He looked fine during their last contest and shouldn't be limited at all on Wednesday. LeBron James (knee) […]

Jimmy Butler Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was able to play 40 minutes on Tuesday and didn't seem to have any issues. Fantasy managers are hopeful Butler is able to play, but you never know with him. Tyler Herro, Max Strus, and Gabe […]

De'Aaron Fox Remains Sidelined Against Nets

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This marks the sixth game in a row that Fox has missed due to left ankle soreness. Possibly, the Kings are playing it safe and holding out Fox until the All-Star break. Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell have […]

Isaiah Jackson Exits Early On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was a bust for anyone who trusted him in fantasy formats on Wednesday. He exited the game within the first minute due to a right ankle sprain. He was unable to return to Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is a tough blow considering Jackson was the only […]

Udoka Azubuike Starting On Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Udoka Azubuike will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Rudy Gobert (calf) and Hassan Whiteside (back) will both be sidelined for this contest. Luckily for Azubuike, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic (toe) is sitting out on Wednesday. That being said, Azubuike has a chance to actually make […]
