Harrison Barnes, Chimezie Metu Ruled Out Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (groin) and center Chimezie Metu (back) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Barnes has been banged up lately, which has been resulting in more playing time for Metu. The Kings are shorthanded here with both of them sidelined on Sunday. Marvin Bagley III and Delon […]

Tristan Thompson Starting Versus Blazers

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson will move into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran center will get the starting nod over Robert Williams. This is likely a matchup move by head coach Brad Stevens, so expect both players to get plenty of minutes. Williams remains the better fantasy […]

LaMelo Ball Remains In Starting Five

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (rest) will remain in the starting five for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. The young guard recently returned from injury, so there was some thought that he'd sit this one out to rest. Despite it being a back-to-back set, Ball will be out there. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable Versus Blazers

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This team cannot afford to lose Brown with Kemba Walker (oblique) already sidelined for this game. Jayson Tatum would be a must-have DFS option without Brown or Walker on the court. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier, and Aaron […]

Kemba Walker Remains Sidelined Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll miss his fourth game in a row, but the team continues to call him day-to-day. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier, and Payton Pritchard will see more minutes on Sunday. Smart is the best fantasy option out of […]

Devonte' Graham Could Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He was a late scratch from Saturday's contest due to a knee issue. It sounds like he'll test it out pregame and see whether or not he can give it a go. LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk would […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so this is likely just the Mavs giving their veteran a day off. Fantasy managers should expect Hardaway to be fine going forward. Josh Richardson, Jalen Brunson, and Trey […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Questionable Against Suns

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He sat out on Saturday due to a bruised knee and very well could miss this game too. The Thunder have been cautious with injuries, while they tank for draft position. It's hard to imagine anyone on […]

Bobby Portis Late Scratch On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (illness) is a late scratch from Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is unfortunate since Portis has been a decent streaming option lately. It sounds like this is a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully it'll be just a one game absence for Portis. P.J. Tucker will see more minutes […]

Grayson Allen Doubtful For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen (hand) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. He missed Friday's game due to a hand issue and could very well sit out again. Desmond Bone and De'Anthony Melton stand to gain the most fantasy value without Allen available. They will likely split up the playing […]

Kyle Kuzma Listed As Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (thumb) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sprained his thumb during Friday's contest, but the fact he is probable is good news. The Lakers are usually fairly cautious, so a probable tag shouldn't alarm fantasy managers. It has been a tough last few […]

Nikola Vucevic Scratched On Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It was originally mentioned earlier in the day that Vucevic was cleared to play on Saturday. Possibly, Vucevic suffered a setback during pregame warmups and will sit out as a precaution. Nonetheless, Daniel Theis and Thaddeus Young will […]

Domantas Sabonis Return Versus Thunder

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) will return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed each of the last six games due to a back issue. There is no mention of whether or not Sabonis will be limited at all in this contest. Both Oshae Brissett and Jakarr […]

Kemba Walker Unlikely To Play Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Walker continues to sit out due to a nagging oblique issue that has cost him significant playing time. Jayson Tatum has been asked to carry the offense in his absence. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier and Payton Pritchard […]

Gary Harris Moves Into Starting Five

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris will slide into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both Terrence Ross (back) and James Ennis III (calf) have been ruled out for this game. Harris will have a much higher usage than normal with the Magic banged up. He'll be a sneaky streaming choice and […]

Domantas Sabonis Might Return Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) could return for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed six straight games due to a back issue, but is listed as a game time decision here. Oshae Brissett would take a hit in value, assuming Sabonis actually plays. However, Brissett should still be a decent […]

Royce O'Neale Could Sit Out Versus Suns

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Jazz play it safe here. His absence could mean Ersan Ilyasova moves into the starting five, while Jordan Clarkson gets minutes in […]

Harrison Barnes Will Miss Friday's Game

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the second game in a row that Barnes has missed, but head coach Luke Walton is hopeful he'll return soon. In the meantime, Chimezie Metu and Delon Wright should see increased playing time. Neither of […]

Collin Sexton Goes Through Shootaround Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was able to get through shootaround on Friday, but needs to pass one more test before being cleared by the league. Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro, and possibly Darius Garland would lose minutes and usage, assuming Sexton is […]

Kemba Walker Misses Third Straight Game

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard will miss his third game in a row here, so it's anyone's guess when he'll suit up again. Marcus Smart is expected to draw the start here after serving his one-game suspension last game. […]

Kevin Durant, Bruce Brown Out On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring, rest) and guard Bruce Brown (knee) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back game, so Durant is resting, but the team made up an injury in order to not get fined. Kyrie Irving and Blake Griffin will […]

Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin Available On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (groin) and forward Blake Griffin (rest) are available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back, which normally means Griffin would sit. However, he only played 14 minutes on Thursday and will be asked to suit up with Kevin Durant (rest) sidelined. At […]

LeBron James Could Return Against Kings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as out on the injury report, but it sounds like James will test out his ankle pregame. James has missed a lengthy period of time, so expect him to be somewhat limited, assuming he […]

Victor Oladipo Won't Travel With Heat

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) will not be traveling with the organization for their weekend games. He has not played since early April due to a lingering knee issue. Head coach Eric Spoelstra mentioned that Oladipo is making progress, but it's uncertain when he'll be back on the court. Tyler Herro (foot) is banged […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson Cleared To Play

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both players were questionable coming into this one, but will suit up with Luka Doncic (elbow) out of action. That being said, both players will be asked to carry a heavier load on offense […]

Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (heel) and guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Capela has been battling a back issue as well, so the team might take the cautious approach here. Onyeka Okongwu and Nathan Knight would be asked to split up the minutes if Capela […]

Trae Young Might Return Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed a little over a week of action, but it sounds like Young is getting closer to returning. Brian Goodwin, Kris Dunn, and Lou Williams would be asked to pick up the slack, assuming Young misses […]

Kevin Huerter Won't Play Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his second game in a row, but Huerter was able to get up some shots on Thursday. Lou Williams could be asked to carry a heavy workload, assuming Trae Young (ankle) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) […]

Michael Porter Jr. Probable For Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game, but it doesn't sound like he'll miss any action. Possibly, Porter is a little limited, but most likely he'll see his normal workload on Thursday. Fantasy managers should check back […]

Jeremy Lamb Won't Suit Up Versus Nets

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has been sidelined for over a week, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Lamb to return anytime soon. Edmond Sumner and Doug McDermott have been playing more minutes without Lamb available. Sumner is worth rostering in most formats […]
