Jonas Valanciunas Returns On Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) is back in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return shifts Willy Hernangomez back to the bench. He won't have much streaming appeal here, so he can be […]

Garrett Temple Starting On Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Garrett Temple will slide into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brandon Ingram (Achilles) remains out of the lineup, which leads to another start for Temple. He dropped 22 points during the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. There is some low-end streaming appeal and […]

Caleb Martin Slides Into Starting Five

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Max Strus is in protocols, so Martin will be asked to step up in his absence. Martin dropped 17 points during Sunday's contest, so there is some streaming appeal there. Fantasy managers should check and see if […]

Patrick Beverley Moved Into Starting Five

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley will join the starting five for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran guard is back in action after sitting out over a week due to protocols. His return was expected to push Jordan McLaughlin to the bench, but he'll actually remain in the starting five. Jaylen Nowell […]

Malcolm Brogdon Uncertain For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He is likely to miss back-to-back games while nursing an Achilles issue. Chris Duarte would likely be asked to make another start, assuming Brogdon is unavailable to play. Caris LeVert would be asked to do more on offense […]

Nicolas Batum Listed As Out For Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He is one of seven players on this roster that won't suit up for this contest. The fact Batum was ruled out a full day in advance is not a good sign. Fantasy managers should consider him […]

Robin Lopez To Start On Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Robin Lopez will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has played 16 minutes over the last two games. Although, Lopez is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in four starts this season. That being said, Lopez sounds like he'll be a […]

Josh Richardson Cleared For Wednesday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson has cleared health and safety protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed each of the four games while sitting out due to protocols. That being said, Richardson could be limited due to conditioning concerns during his first game back. Fantasy managers in season long […]

Dennis Schroder Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. He was first announced to be out with protocols on December 25, but it appears he has cleared it quickly. It sounds like Schroder will be ready to go for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Payton Pritchard and Romeo Langford […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Lands In COVID-19 Protocols

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. He'll be joined by Gorgui Dieng and Malik Ellison to make 13 players for Atlanta in protocols. The Hawks currently have eight active players available for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Cam Reddish will see is workload increase and […]

Anthony Edwards Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. However, he'll still need to regain his conditioning before getting back on the court. In the meantime, Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell would continue to have solid roles in the rotation. Nowell is coming off a 29-point game, but Beasley might be […]

Darius Garland Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been placed in protocols the same day that the Cavs are expected to get forward Evan Mobley back. This is a tough blow to the Cavs since Garland has been playing at an All-Star level this […]

Evan Mobley Hopeful To Play On Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley is hopeful to suit up for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has sat out the last 10 days due to protocols, but has a chance of playing here. It's uncertain if the team plans to limit Mobley at all, assuming he does return. Kevin Love would lose […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable For Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He continues to build up his conditioning after being sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Jordan McLaughlin started last game and finished with six rebounds and 10 assists. Sadly, most of his streaming appeal will disappear once […]

Pascal Siakam Upgraded To Probable

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It sounds like he will return to the court after being sidelined due to protocols. Yuta Watanabe will take a hit in value after turning in a wonderful performance his last time out. There could still be some […]

Mike Gesicki Finishes With 22 Yards

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been an inconsistent fantasy option lately. That trend continued versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Gesicki hauled in three of his four targets for 22 yards in the win. He finished second on the team in targets, but that doesn't mean too much considering the Dolphins […]

Jaylen Waddle Snags 10 Receptions

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle put together an epic performance against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. He hauled in 10 of his 12 targets for 92 yards and one touchdown in the Week 16 victory. Waddle saw nearly 50 percent of the target share considering quarterback Tua Tagovailoa only had 26 passing […]

Myles Gaskin Posts Dud Against Saints

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has posted three straight disappointing outings, including the Week 16 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Gaskin rushed three times for 10 times, while hauling in one of his three targets for six yards in the victory. Both Duke Johnson and Phillip Lindsay each carried the ball 13 times […]

Phillip Lindsay Gets Back In Action

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay made his first appearance on the field since Week 12. Sadly, he wasn't able to return with a bang during the Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Lindsay rushed 13 times for 36 yards in this Week 16 victory. The Dolphins used a three-back committee, which limited […]

Duke Johnson Remains Involved In Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Duke Johnson was coming off a career game last week and failed to carry that momentum into this week. He rushed 13 times for 39 yards in the Week 16 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Dolphins decided to use a three-back committee, so there wasn't a ton of value […]

Tua Tagovailoa Does Enough To Beat Saints

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wasn't exactly sharp during the Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints. However, he was able to get the job done against a team with 16 players on the COVID list and another 10 on injured reserve. Tagovailoa completed 19-of-26 passing attempts for 198 passing yards with one touchdown […]

Damian Lillard Will Play On Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (personal) is available for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was tagged as questionable due to personal reasons, but will suit up for this one. The superstar guard is expected to play heavy minutes considering the Blazers are shorthanded. He'll be a strong DFS option for Monday's slate. […]

Josh Hart Uncertain Against Cavaliers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hart has seen increased value while Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been sidelined. Currently, Ingram is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game. Herbert Jones and Garrett Temple would be asked to play significant minutes, assuming both players are […]

Jonas Valanciunas Tagged As Probable For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. Willy Hernangomez has been a strong streaming option while Valanciunas has been sidelined. However, that could come to an end on Tuesday […]

Patrick Beverley Unavailable For Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He is out of quarantine and was able to practice on Sunday. However, Beverley still isn't up to full speed, so he'll sit this one out due to lack of conditioning. The 'Wolves are already extremely short-handed, so this […]

Payton Pritchard Will Start On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He'll slide into the starting five with Marcus Smart (hand) unavailable for this contest. Pritchard is coming off a 16-point game and makes sense as a streaming option. The Celtics are shorthanded, so Pritchard stands to play […]

Jordan Poole Cleared For Tuesday's Game

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole has cleared protocols and has returned to the organization. That being said, Poole is likely to be available for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors are without Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green, so they could certainly use Poole's help on the court. Poole should see increased responsibilities […]

Deandre Ayton Unavailable For Monday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton is unavailable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ayton will join teammates Jae Crowder and Elfrid Payton in protocols. Fantasy managers should expect Ayton to miss a few games, so hopefully there's an IR spot available. In the meantime, JaVale McGee should move into the starting five. He should […]

Trae Young Cleared For Monday's Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has cleared protocols ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. That means, Young is back and is one of nine players available for Atlanta. That being said, Young will see all the minutes and shots he can handle on Monday. Fantasy managers should make sure he's back in their […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Questionable Against Nets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has cleared COVID-19 protocols, but Morris has to work on getting his conditioning back. Fantasy managers should expect Morris to be limited, assuming he does suit up on Monday. However, he'll have increased value going forward […]
