Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (hamstring) was able to get through his second straight practice on Monday. However, his status for the season opener on Wednesday is still up in the air.

Nerlens Noel Returns To Practice

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) was able to return to practice on Monday. He missed the final two preseason games, but head coach Tom Thibodeau downplayed the injury. It's unclear at the moment if Noel or Mitchell Robinson is going to start at center. Regardless, it sounds like both players are going to […]

Gordon Hayward Will Play In Season Opener

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (finger) will suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. Hayward was able to get through a full practice on Monday and Tuesday. It doesn't sound like his finger is fully healed, but Hayward will be able to play through the issue. Fantasy managers should feel confident that this finger […]

Eric Gordon Will Come Off The Bench

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will come off the bench with the second unit to begin the season. Gordon mentioned that he is fine with it as long as there is consistency with his role on the team. Danuel House was named the starting small forward, but coming off the bench might actually help Gordon. […]

Danuel House Named Starting Small Forward

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. will be joining the starting five to begin the regular season. He'll start alongside John Wall, James Harden, P.J. Tucker, and Christian Wood with this revamped starting five. House was an underrated fantasy option last season, so hopefully that will remain the case. Fantasy managers should consider rostering House […]

Luke Kennard Receives Massive Extension

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a four-year, $64 million extension with the organization. Kennard gets paid before making his team debut for the Clippers, but he was well-deserving of a new contract. He averaged 15.8 points last season and improved as a passer with 4.1 assists per game. It'll be interesting […]

Markelle Fultz Staying In Orlando

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz has agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension with the organization. After a horrible beginning to his NBA career, it's nice to see Fultz getting back on track.

Jonathan Isaac Gets Paid By Magic

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) agreed to a four-year, $80 million extension with the organization. He was limited by injuries last season but still averaged 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.3 blocks through 34 games. Sadly, Isaac will not play this season due to a torn ACL. Nonetheless, the Magic […]

OG Anunoby Gets Massive Extension

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby received a massive four-year, $72 million extension from the organization. At first glance, this might not seem like a great move, but Anunoby was well-deserving of this deal. He has improved each year he has been in the league and started 68 of 69 games for Toronto last season. Anunoby […]

Zion Williamson Expected To Play Big Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is expected to play 33-34 minutes per game, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. He went on the say that they've been pushing Williamson lately, but they know he needs it if he wants to handle playing 30 or more minutes per game. Last season, Williamson averaged 28 […]

Frank Kaminsky Returning To Phoenix

Sacramento Kings forward Frank Kaminsky has been claimed off waivers by the Phoenix Suns. The former ninth overall pick from 2015 was cut by the Kings at the end of the preseason. He will now be returning to the Suns one month after the organization decided to decline his team option. Kaminsky had some nice […]

Paul Millsap Appears To Be In Great Shape

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap is in great shape right now, according to head coach Mike Malone. The veteran forward averaged 16.7 points through the preseason. Malone mentioned that this is the most engaged he has seen Millsap in his four seasons coaching him. Sadly, Millsap's path to minutes is going to be cloudy with […]

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out For Season Opener

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton (knee) has been ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The second-year forward will sit out versus the Golden State Warriors due to a nagging knee injury. He played in 15 games last season, so hopefully he can surpass that number this year. Sadly, Claxton won't have much fantasy […]

Dario Saric Up In The Air For Season Opener

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (quad) said that he's unsure if he'll be ready in time for the regular season opener on Wednesday. He missed all of the preseason due to a quad injury that makes it difficult for him to run. Although, it appears that Saric did look good during practice on Monday, according […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out For Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (foot) has been officially ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The MRI came back clean, but the Warriors are going to hold him out as a precaution. Head coach Steve Kerr called Green day-to-day, so there is a chance that he suits up for their matchup on […]

Derrick White Signs Extension With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) reportedly agreed to a four-year extension worth $73 million. That is quite a lot of money, but the Spurs feel he has earned it with his performance last season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, so there are high expectations for White going into this campaign. […]

Marcus Morris Won't Play In Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular season opener. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but the Clippers will take the cautious approach. Nicolas Batum has been starting for Morris in the preseason, so that is expected to be the case on Tuesday. Batum could […]

Immanuel Quickley Likely Has Earned Rotational Spot

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has been impressive during his two preseason outings. The rookie guard could earn a spot in the rotation after an impressive showing this preseason. Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned that Quickley's performance over the last few games will definitely factor into his decision making about the rotation. It sounds […]

James Wiseman Could Start On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman could join the starting five for his first ever NBA game, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors took Wiseman with the No. 2 overall selection in this year's draft. Obviously, Wiseman is their future at center, so it's not too surprising that they'd start him right away. […]

Kyle Kuzma Agrees To Extension With Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has reportedly agreed to a three-year extension worth $40 million. This extension includes a player option in the final year of the contract. His fantasy value took a slight hit last season, but he was adjusting to playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Obviously, both of them are […]

Marvin Bagley Playing Both Power Forward And Center

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley played both power forward and center during Sunday's practice. Head coach Luke Walton mentioned that they will likely experiment with Bagley at both spots this season. Hassan Whiteside and Richaun Holmes will likely see a majority of the minutes at center. However, it sounds like Bagley will be thrown into […]

Marcus Morris Could Miss Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) is listed as questionable for the regular season opener on Tuesday. Morris did not play in the preseason and is expected to be eased into the rotation. Head coach Ty Lue mentioned that he's unsure if Morris will be ready in time for the season opener. Patrick Patterson […]

John Collins Wants To Improve Defensively

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins mentioned that he is focused on improving his game defensively. That the coaching staff and new teammate Danilo Gallinari have been challenging him to improve his game on defense. He averaged 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals last season, so those were already pretty solid numbers. It's unclear if the addition […]

Myles Turner Should Suit Up On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (head) is expected to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. Both Turner and T.J. Warren (foot) were able to go through a full practice on Sunday. Head coach Nate Bjorkgren fully expects both players to be ready for the season opener. There was no word on whether either […]

T.J. Warren Expected To Play In Season Opener

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) is expected to suit up for the regular season opener on Wednesday. There was some concern that Warren would be unable to suit up due to plantar fasciitis. However, he was able to get through full contact practice on Sunday, which is a great sign. There is a chance […]

Denzel Mims Hauls In Three Receptions

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims was fairly quiet in Week 15. He hauled in three of his four targets for 18 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. Mims has seen his production decline with quarterback Sam Darnold under center. He looked like a much better fantasy option with Joe Flacco, […]

Breshad Perriman Invisible Versus Rams

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman was basically invisible on the field versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. He hauled in his lone target for 21 yards in the win. He continues to show basically no chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold. Perriman looked much better on the field when veteran Joe Flacco […]

Chris Herndon Makes An Impact In Week 15

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has struggled to make much of an impact all season long. However, Herndon was able to play fairly well in the Week 15 matchup versus the Los Angeles Rams. He hauled in three of his four targets for 48 yards in the win. Those three receptions was the […]

Jamison Crowder Gets Back On Track Versus Rams

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder was able to turn in a fairly strong performance in Week 15. He hauled in six of his eight targets for 66 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. Those 66 yards were the highest from Crowder since Week 7, so hopefully that will continue going […]

Ty Johnson Salvages Value With Touchdown

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson was held in check on the ground during the Week 15 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed three times for 16 yards, but was much better in the passing game. Johnson hauled in six receptions for 39 yards and one touchdown in the win. Veteran running […]
