Larry Nance Jr. Likely To Miss Significant Time

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He fractured his right thumb on Sunday, so fantasy managers should expect him to be sidelined for a bit. The fact Cleveland is eliminated from the postseason means they might rest Nance throughout the rest of the […]

Christian Wood Practices On Monday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) was able to suit up and fully participate in Monday's practice. That is a good sign for Wood's status for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, the Rockets aren't exactly high in the standings, so we could see them potentially rest Wood until he's 100 percent healthy. Kenyon […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Sitting Out Against Raptors

Cleveland Cavaliers center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is frustrating news for the Cavs since Hartenstein was playing extremely well. Hopefully he'll be able to clear the league's concussion protocol testing quickly. In the meantime, Kevin Love and Dean Wade should see more minutes coming […]

James Ennis Could Sit Out Sunday

Orlando Magic forward James Ennis III (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. RJ Hampton and Gary Harris have been playing more minutes with Ennis banged up lately. However, neither of them have been consistent fantasy contributors lately. Honestly, Terrence Ross (back) is about the only reliable fantasy option in […]

Josh Richardson Out Versus Lakers

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team is calling it hamstring tightness, so hopefully it's a day-to-day type of issue. In the meantime, J.J. Redick and Jalen Brunson will be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Neither of them are […]

DeMar DeRozan Available Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. There was some doubt that DeRozan would suit up here, but it appears he is healthy enough to play. Lonnie Walker IV will lose most of his streaming appeal with DeRozan actually suiting up. DeRozan […]

Kristaps Porzingis Sidelined Against Lakers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a sprained left ankle during Thursday's game, so the Mavs will take the cautious approach here. Hopefully, Porzingis will get back in there next game with the fantasy playoffs likely already going on in many […]

Anthony Davis Cleared To Play 25 Minutes

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (calf) has been cleared to play 25 minutes during Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Frank Vogel mentioned that Davis has been dealing with minimal soreness since playing on Thursday. Both Andre Drummond and Kyle Kuzma will lose value with Davis getting more minutes. Fantasy managers in […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Might Play Against Mavericks

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has been battling a sprained ankle, but it sounds like he'll wait and see how he feels during pregame shootaround. Talen Horton-Tucker could be asked to move into the starting five, which could make […]

Rudy Gay Sidelined Versus Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This isn't a back-to-back situation, but possibly Gay is actually injured. It could be the Spurs just giving their veteran forward a rest day. Regardless, Luka Samanic, Keita Bates-Diop and possibly Drew Eubanks will see more […]

Nicolas Claxton Won't Play Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He remains out while he follows the league's health and safety guidelines. His absence will mean DeAndre Jordan continues to start, while Jeff Green and Blake Griffin get more action as well. On paper, Jordan should have decent streaming appeal, […]

Steven Adams Active Against Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) will be available for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was forced to exit early during Thursday's game due to an ankle issue. However, it doesn't sound like it was significant enough to sideline Adams for more than half a game. Jaxson Hayes will lose most […]

Jeremy Lamb, Goga Bitadze Out Versus Detroit

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) and center Goga Bitadze (ankle) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The good news is, Bitadze was able to get some limited work in on Friday. Hopefully, he'll be able to get back into action soon with the Pacers seriously shorthanded. Doug McDermott will […]

Doug McDermott Available Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's uncertain whether or not McDermott will start or come off the bench with the second unit. Nonetheless, McDermott should see plenty of playing time with the Pacers banged up. He normally isn't a favorable fantasy option, but could have […]

Rui Hachimura Remains Out Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to knee soreness. The fact he was ruled out a full day in advance means he'll likely miss more time. Isaac Bonga and Anthony Gill […]

Jae Crowder Won't Play Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday and hasn't been able to play since then. The fact Crowder is being ruled out a full day in advance suggest that he could miss more time than just Sunday. Dario […]

Dario Saric Won't Play Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Suns will play it safe here. Possibly, Saric will give it another shot on Monday with the Suns being shorthanded at the forward spot. Frank Kaminsky could see […]

Richaun Holmes Could Return Sunday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) was able to fully participate in Saturday's practice. That is two days in a row that Holmes has been able to practice without any issues. There is a good chance that he'll be able to play in Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He could be somewhat limited […]

Jonas Valanciunas Nearing Return

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (concussion) is reportedly nearing a return to the court, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. He is working his way through the league's concussion protocol at the moment. Jenkins is hopeful that Valanciunas is able to suit up for Sunday's contest. In the meantime, Xavier Tillman and Jaren Jackson Jr. […]

Richaun Holmes Could Return Soon

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) was able to fully participate in Friday's practice. There is a chance that Holmes is able to play during Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. His return would make Hassan Whiteside a cut-candidate in many fantasy formats. However, it's unknown if Holmes will play on Sunday or if […]

Goga Bitadze Able To Shoot On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) was able to get some shots up during Friday's practice. It sounds like the ankle is getting better, but Bitadze is likely going to be sidelined for a few more games. The Pacers are fairly banged up right now, so Oshae Brissett is expected to take on significant playing […]

DeMar DeRozan Could Sit On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Thursday's game for rest purposes. It's quite odd that somehow DeRozan injured his quad by sitting out. Regardless, Derrick White, Devin Vassell, and Lonnie Walker IV will see a boost, assuming DeRozan […]

Rudy Gay Might Sit Versus Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is likely a rest game more than anything, but the team is pretending it's a back issue. Luka Samanic and Keita Bates-Diop would be asked to pick up the slack, assuming Gay is out. However, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Could Miss Saturday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He tweaked his ankle during Thursday's game, so there is some concern that it'll swell up overnight. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until shootaround on Saturday before getting more information. Talen Horton-Tucker could be asked […]

Domantas Sabonis Won't Play Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the third game in a row that Sabonis has missed due to a back issue. The Pacers are heavily banged up, which means Oshae Brissett could see significant playing time in this one. He'd be a […]

Mychal Mulder Will Start On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Mychal Mulder will draw the start in Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He'll move into the starting five in place of veteran Kent Bazemore who is out due to the league's health and safety protocols. Kelly Oubre Jr. will continue coming off the bench in this one. Mulder could hit […]

Jaylen Brown Could Have Played Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (shoulder) could've played during Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to head coach Brad Stevens. The team is considering Brown day-to-day since he doesn't have full range of motion yet. It's uncertain if he'll suit up for Sunday's contest or not. Jayson Tatum will continue having a ton of […]

James Johnson Questionable For Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward James Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed each of the last two games due to a groin issue. His return will make Naji Marshall have less streaming appeal. Johnson probably isn't worth a look in most fantasy formats right now. However, […]

Juan Toscano-Anderson Available Against Nuggets

Golden State Warriors forward Juan Toscano-Anderson (concussion) is available for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed two games due to a concussion, but shouldn't be limited at all here. His return will likely mean less playing time for Kevon Looney and possibly Draymond Green. Toscano-Anderson won't have great streaming appeal, but could be […]

P.J. Washington Returns To Starting Five

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington will move back into the starting five for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This isn't a surprising move, but it'll push Vernon Carey Jr. back to the second unit. He'll still have a role behind Washington, so fantasy managers shouldn't give up on him yet. However, Cody Zeller and […]
