Jimmy Butler To Remain Sidelined On Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Butler has missed due to a bruised tailbone. His absence should result in another start for Gabe Vincent.

Kyle Kuzma Questionable For Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last two games while following the league's safety protocols. Deni Avdija has moved into the starting five, but hasn't been able to do much with his increased playing time. Davis Bertans is the […]

Deandre Ayton Available On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will be back in action after missing each of the last two games due to an illness.

Joel Embiid Tagged As Questionable Versus Heat

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ribs) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He was announced out last second before Monday's game, so at least we're getting a heads up now. Fantasy managers are likely going to need to wait until after shootaround for more information. Andre Drummond would be tasked […]

Eric Gordon, Kevin Porter Jr. Ruled Out For Wednesday

Houston Rockets guards Eric Gordon (groin) and Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

D'Angelo Russell Questionable Against Nuggets

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He made his return to the court on Sunday and played 35 minutes.

Justin Holiday Tagged As Questionable Against Bucks

Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday is tagged as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to ramp up his conditioning and was questionable for Monday's contest as well. He was ultimately held out, but it sounds like Holiday is nearing a return. Chris Duarte would be impacted the most once Holiday returns. Duarte […]

Christian Wood Questionable Against Cavaliers

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is a new addition to the injury report with a left knee injury. The Rockets are already shorthanded, so losing Wood just makes everything worse. Alperen Sengun and Daniel Theis would see additional playing time, assuming Wood […]

Mason Plumlee Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (ribs) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been sidelined since late November due to safety protocols.

Ish Smith Won't Play Against Spurs

Charlotte Hornets guard Ish Smith has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He'll remain sidelined due to the league's safety protocols.

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed each of the last four games after undergoing an eye procedure.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Paul George Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (elbow) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is approaching one week on the sidelines due to a right elbow sprain.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He joins the long list of NBA players sidelined due to the league's safety protocols.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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
