James Harden Might Return Next Week

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) remains out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. However, it sounds like Harden is progressing well and could be ready after a few more practices, according to Nets GM Sean Marks. He'll likely need to get through a few 5-on-5 practices before he's cleared to play. Until then, […]

Andre Iguodala Won't Play On Friday

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been dealing with some hip soreness, but this is likely more of a rest day than because of his hip. His absence won't mean much in terms of fantasy hoops. Trevor Ariza and KZ Okpala could […]

Robert Williams Ruled Out Against Warriors

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the second game in a row that Williams has missed due to knee soreness. His absence will create more minutes for Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams. Thompson doesn't have great offensive upside, but is worth […]

George Hill Could Return Next Week

Philadelphia 76ers guard George Hill (thumb) is likely to get back on the court sometime next week, according to head coach Doc Rivers. He was acquired at the trade deadline, but has not played for the Sixers yet. Hill recently went through his first live practice with the team, so that's great news. He probably […]

Daniel Theis Joins The Starting Five

Chicago Bulls center Daniel Theis will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Thaddeus Young has been starting lately, but will either have a rest day or come off the bench here. Both Theis and Coby White will jump into the starting five for this contest. White has more DFS and […]

Hamidou Diallo Likely Out Versus Thunder

Detroit Pistons forward Hamidou Diallo (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons might use this as a rest day for Diallo. His playing time has decreased lately, which is making him a cut-candidate in many formats. Josh Jackson […]

Derrick Favors Sitting Out Versus Pacers

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so this is likely a rest day more than anything else. Ersan Ilyasova and Georges Niang are expected to see increased roles without Favors available. Niang has put together some […]

Jordan Clarkson Available On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last four games due to an ankle issue. It's uncertain if he'll be limited at all, but Royce O'Neale (rest) is out, so Clarkson would see an extended role. Fantasy managers should check back […]

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin Returning On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both players sat out the front end of the back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Durant back into their lineups. Griffin has been getting minutes in the […]

Goran Dragic Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (rest) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has struggled lately and desperately needed a day off on Wednesday. His return will mean less minutes for Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro won't have as much upside. Dragic is a risky DFS option since he […]

Myles Turner, Doug McDermott Questionable For Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players were unable to play on Wednesday, but have a decent chance of returning here. Jeremy Lamb would likely lose some streaming appeal with McDermott back in the rotation. Goga Bitadze has […]

Lonzo Ball Available On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed each of the last four games due to a hip flexor issue. Ball has seen terrible luck with injuries this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pelicans ease him back into action. His […]

Marc Gasol Hopeful To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been diagnosed with a fractured finger on his left hand. However, Gasol believes it won't be much of an issue because it is on his left hand, which he doesn't use as much. Andre Drummond […]

Alec Burks Won't Play Friday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He'll sit this one out due to the NBA's health and safety guidelines. It's uncertain when Burks will get back on the court, so he has become a cut-candidate in some formats. Reggie Bullock has more upside and […]

Nerlens Noel Expected To Play Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, which forced Taj Gibson into the starting five. However, Gibson played well, but won't have much fantasy value off the bench. Norvel Pelle saw minutes in the teens […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against Warriors

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's game, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another game. The Cavs aren't playing for much, so they don't have any incentive to rush Sexton back on the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Rest Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He sat out of Wednesday's game and could sit out here as well for precautionary reasons. The Bucks don't have much of an incentive to put Antetokounmpo out there at less than 100 percent. Bobby Portis and Pat […]

Donte DiVincenzo Listed As Questionable Versus Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played 23 minutes on Wednesday, but none of the starters played heavy minutes due to the fact it was a blowout. His absence would mean more minutes for Bryn Forbes and Pat Connaughton. Neither player has tremendous […]

Robert Williams III Might Sit Against Lakers

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played 26 minutes on Tuesday but appears to have tweaked his knee in the process. His absence would mean more playing time for Tristan Thompson. Luke Kornet could also get back into the rotation, but he […]

Devonte' Graham Won't Play Versus Nets

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is a tough break considering the Hornets are already going to be shorthanded for this contest. Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is questionable, but could have sneaky streaming appeal, assuming he suits up. Otherwise, Grant Riller and Cody Martin […]

Brad Wanamaker Questionable For Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He played 21 minutes on Wednesday before being forced to exit due to an ankle issue. Grant Riller could be forced into the rotation on Friday with the Hornets already shorthanded. He's not worth the gamble in most […]

P.J. Washington Listed As Doubtful On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last two games due to a sprained right ankle. There's a good chance that he misses another game, which should result in Bismack Biyombo drawing another start. Both Miles Bridges and Jalen […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Miss Multiple Games

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is expected to miss multiple games while he follows the NBA's health and safety guidelines. The Bulls were forced to cancel Thursday's practice due to health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when LaVine will get back on the court, but his absence will have a major impact on the rotation. […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he'll sit this one out. Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) will join Aldridge on the sideline for Wednesday's contest. Nicolas Claxton and Jeff Green will get extended […]

Kawhi Leonard Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is dealing with right foot soreness and it appears to be an issue that could sideline him. Luckily, the team believes it's only a day-to-day type of issue. Luke Kennard, Terance Mann, and Marcus Morris […]

Terry Rozier Probable Versus Cavs

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sat out the first game of the back-to-back set, but it sounds like he's ready to get back on the court. His return could mean slightly less minutes for Devonte' Graham. Both Brad Wanamaker and Cody Martin […]

P.J. Washington Sitting Out On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He suffered a sprained right ankle during Sunday's contest, so the team will remain cautious here. Cody Zeller is expected to draw the start, while Miles Bridges gets more playing time as well. However, Jalen McDaniels might be […]

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin Ruled Out For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Nets will be cautious here. LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) is going to be out as well, which leaves the Nets a bit shorthanded. Nicolas Claxton […]

Fred Vanvleet, Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guards Fred VanVleet (hip) and Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The good news is that Vanvleet appears to be over his hip issue, but now he must serve his one-game suspension. The Raptors are resting Kyle Lowry and Trent is unable to play […]

Kyle Lowry Resting Again

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's quite odd that Lowry is sitting out both games of the back-to-back set. Possibly, Lowry is dealing with a minor injury, but regardless the Raptors are going to be shorthanded for this contest. Malachi Flynn should […]
