Russell Westbrook Available On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is available for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was originally listed as out due to the fact it's the second game of a back-to-back set. However, Raul Neto (rib) is listed as questionable, so Westbrook might be asked to play. Possibly, Westbrook sits out if Neto does […]

Jeremy Lamb Practices On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) was able to take part in Thursday's practice, according to head coach Nate Bjorkgren. He has missed each of the last three games due to left knee soreness. It would be tough for Lamb to make an impact with Caris Levert healthy and above him in the rotation. Lamb […]

Christian Wood Expected To Return On Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Rockets are 0-17 since Wood suffered his right ankle sprain. The organization desperately needs him back with so many other players sidelined right now. He'd be a favorable DFS option, assuming he suits up because he'd […]

Fred Vanvleet Upgraded To Questionable

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was able to practice on Tuesday after being sidelined recently due to COVID-19. It sounds like Vanvleet is getting closer to playing, but it's uncertain if he'll suit up for Wednesday. Norman Powell would gain the most […]

Victor Oladipo Won't Play Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see Oladipo sitting out. His absence will be more minutes for Kevin Porter Jr. and Sterling Brown. Porter is expected to see heavy minutes […]

Danuel House Jr., Ben McLemore Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) and guard Ben McLemore (ankle) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. House has missed five straight games, so another absence wouldn't be shocking. Jae'sean Tate and Kevin Porter Jr. would benefit the most, assuming House is out again. McLemore missed Tuesday's game, […]

Kemba Walker, Tristan Thompson Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) and center Tristan Thompson have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics continue to be cautious with Walker and Thompson is out due to the NBA's health and safety guidelines. Marcus Smart, Payton Pritchard, and Jeff Teague will be asked to split up the […]

Jimmy Butler Could Miss Wednesday's Contest

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Heat are already shorthanded, so losing Butler would be a significant hit to their rotation. Honestly, knowing Butler, he'll play through the pain if he can, but we'll see what happens. Tyler Herro, KZ Okpala, and Max […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Doubtful For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavs would likely ask Tim Hardaway Jr. to soak up a majority of the minutes if Finney-Smith cannot play. Hardaway has played well when he is in the starting five, so DFS players should take note […]

Terrence Ross Questionable Versus Knicks

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Losing Ross would be a shame considering he has dropped 59 points combined over his last two games. His absence would mean significant minutes for Dwayne Bacon and Michael Carter-Williams. Neither of them are reliable enough to […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Play On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This doesn't sound like too serious of an issue, but the team wants to take the cautious approach here. James Harden will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense. He'll be a popular DFS option, while […]

Meyers Leonard Traded To Thunder

Miami Heat forward Meyers Leonard has reportedly been traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Miami will send Leonard and a 2027 second-round pick to OKC in exchange for veteran forward Trevor Ariza. This trade likely won't benefit either player in terms of fantasy value. Ariza hasn't played in a year and will have to compete […]

De'Andre Hunter Could Return On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) could play as early as Thursday, according to Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk. He is making fantastic progress from his right knee meniscus surgery. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if Hunter is still available. He should easily get around 25 minutes per game, and that […]

Davis Bertans Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee, calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He banged up his knee during Monday's game, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Wizards take the cautious approach here. Troy Brown would gain the most fantasy value, assuming Bertans sits out on Wednesday. He'd […]

Tyler Herro Probable For Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is dealing with a strained right shoulder, but should be able to play through the issue. Herro dropped 22 points and eight rebounds during his last outing. It sounds like he should be fine for this favorable […]

Elfrid Payton Doubtful To Play Against Sixers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed Monday's game and it's highly unlikely that he suits up here. Payton continues to battle with a lingering hamstring issue, which seem to take quite a while to fully heal. Derrick Rose remains out due […]

Luguentz Dort Questionable For Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed Sunday's game due to a sprained toe and could very well sit here as well. His absence would mean more minutes for Justin Jackson, but that doesn't mean much for fantasy managers. The trade of […]

Jordan McLaughlin, Jarrett Culver Likely To Sit On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards Jordan McLaughlin and Jarrett Culver (toe) are both expected to miss Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. McLaughlin continues to remain sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Culver is listed as doubtful, but he has missed four straight games. There is a good chance he remains sidelined once […]

D'Angelo Russell Continues To Be Sidelined

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery and his return is likely to be delayed, according to head coach Chris Finch. There were rumors that Russell would begin on-court work last weekend, but that didn't happen. Fantasy managers can […]

Dwight Powell Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sat out of Monday's game due to an illness, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another game. Willie Cauley-Stein and Maximilian Kleber would be asked to soak up the extra minutes. Neither are […]

Jusuf Nurkic Should Return In Two Weeks

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) is expected to get back on the court within the next two weeks. He likely would've returned sooner, but suffered a setback due to a calf issue. He should slide right back into the starting five once he's ready to play. Fantasy managers will just need to be […]

Celtics Open To Trading Tristan Thompson

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson could be on the move with the deadline quickly approaching. The organization has made it clear that Thompson is available for trade with Robert Williams having a breakout campaign. Both Williams and Daniel Theis would see increased value, assuming the Celtics can find a trade partner. Thompson has found difficultly […]

DeMar DeRozan Remains Out On Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He remains away from the team following the death of his father. The organization believes DeRozan will return at some point during the road trip, but obviously aren't going to rush him. Derrick White has been removed […]

Cam Reddish Sidelined At Least Four Weeks

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is set to miss at least four weeks, but he could be out as long as six weeks. He underwent a non-surgical procedure last week to address his Achilles soreness. This is a tough blow to the second-year forward, but he was really struggling this season. Honestly, Reddish's poor […]

Kevin Durant Could Miss Two More Weeks

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is expected to miss one or two more weeks. He continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue and the team will have him undergo another scan this week. The hope is that Durant is back before the end of March, but he'll likely be eased back into the […]

Aaron Gordon Available For Trade

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon is reportedly available on the trade market as the deadline approaches. It sounds like the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves have already shown interest in Gordon. He's owed $18 million this season, but it declines to $16 million next season, which is the final year of his deal. Gordon has plenty […]

Pistons Want To Trade Wayne Ellington

Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington could be on the move sooner rather than later. The organization is reportedly seeking a second-round pick in exchange for the veteran shooter. The 33-year-old is averaging 10.6 points and a career-high 44 percent shooting percentage on the year. The recent acquisition of Hamidou Diallo makes a veteran like Ellington […]

Gorgui Dieng Could Be On The Move

Memphis Grizzlies center Gorgui Dieng is reportedly available in trade discussions as the deadline approaches. Dieng is on an expiring one year deal worth $17.2 million, so there is always a chance of a buyout happening. The Grizzlies hardly ever use Dieng in their rotation, so they'd likely take the best available offer. Dieng has […]

Jarrett Culver Unlikely To Play Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jarrett Culver (toe) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Culver isn't bringing much to the table right now, so the Wolves don't have much of an incentive to rush him out on the court. Jaylen Nowell has been filling in nicely and is coming off a […]

Jordan McLaughlin Won't Suit Up Versus Blazers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll miss both games of the back-to-back set while sitting out due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Ricky Rubio and Jaylen Nowell will be asked to pick up the slack here. At first glance, Rubio should […]
