Kendrick Nunn Sent To The Bench For Game 1

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn will come off the bench with the second unit for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team has decided to shake up their starting five to kick off their playoff series. That being said, Goran Dragic is expected to jump into the starting five alongside Jimmy Butler. Nunn has […]

Kristaps Porzingis Probable For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has not played since August 11 due to a left heel contusion. However, the team was likely holding him out to be cautious since they didn't have much to play for during the last few seeding […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable Versus Dallas

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned that he's hopeful Beverley will be available, but it sounds like it'll be a game time decision. Landry Shamet (foot) is also questionable for this contest, which means the Clippers could be […]

Landry Shamet Questionable For Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was unable to play Wednesday or Friday due to a left foot sprain. The Clippers could be without him for Game 1, but Shamet hasn't been sharp during the bubble games. Reggie Jackson, Rodney McGruder and […]

OG Anunoby Playing Against Brooklyn

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (knee) will play in Game 1 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. He played the first six seeding games before suffering a right knee injury that forced him to miss the final two contests. Anunoby is not expected to be limited and should be heavily used in an attempt to […]

Serge Ibaka Will Play In Game 1

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka (knee) will suit up for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He only played in five of the seeding games due to a lingering knee issue. The team is likely going to be cautious going forward and could restrict him during Game 1. Chris Boucher could see a few more […]

Mike Conley Leaves The Bubble

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (personal) has left the bubble and won't be available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Conley made it clear that he would be leaving the bubble to be present for the birth of his child. It's unknown how long Conley will be gone, so the team could end up […]

Ed Davis Will Miss First Round

Utah Jazz center Ed Davis (knee) has been ruled out for the entire first round versus the Denver Nuggets. The team mentioned that he will be re-evaluated in a few weeks, which means he could miss more than just the first round. He was averaging 10.8 minutes per game this season. Those minutes will be […]

Will Barton Ruled Out For Game 1

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) has been ruled out for Game 1 versus the Utah Jazz. He'll be joined by Gary Harris (hip) on the sideline for Monday's contest. Both players continue to battle lingering injuries and it's unclear if they will take the court during the postseason. Michael Porter Jr. and Torrey Craig […]

Gary Harris Not Suiting Up Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He won't suit up for Game 1, but hasn't played at all since the season resumed. It's unclear if Harris will play at all during the postseason. Torrey Craig and Michael Porter Jr. will see increased playing time […]

Michael Carter-Williams Doubtful For Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Over the weekend, the team said that Carter-Williams was day-to-day. It sounds like the team is going to take the cautious approach here and give Carter-Williams plenty of time to rest up. D.J. Augustin and Terrence Ross will […]

Dennis Schroder Available Versus Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (conditioning) is available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He recently cleared quarantine after re-entering the bubble. Chris Paul (hand) won't be available for this one, so Schroder is expected to get plenty of run. The Thunder aren't playing for anything, but could use this game to […]

Bulls Fire Head Coach Jim Boylen

Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen has been fired by the organization on Friday. He replaced Fred Hoiberg in 2018, but had little success during his time in Chicago. Boylen only won 39 games and lost 84 during his stint with the team. Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen expressed their displease with Boylen during the […]

Serge Ibaka Won't Suit Up Friday

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He will get the day off along with most of the starting unit. He is battling a knee issue, but it is not considered to be serious. Chris Boucher should get all the minutes he can handle and […]

OG Anunoby Not Playing Friday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Most of the Raptors starters are going to rest in this fairly meaningless game. Terence Davis and Norman Powell are expected to see significant playing time here, so both should be reliable DFS options. However, that is assuming […]

Michael Porter Jr. Resting Versus Raptors

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This appears to be a smart move considering Porter's injury history and he's averaging 33.3 minutes per game during the bubble. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect any of the Nuggets starters to see much playing time in this […]

Bryn Forbes Won't Play Versus Jazz

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The team is going to be cautious here, especially with Forbes battling left quad soreness. Keldon Johnson will be asked to play significant minutes off the bench in Thursday's game. He'll be an interesting low-cost DFS option […]

Kristaps Porzingis Downgraded To Doubtful

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) has been downgraded to doubtful for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday, but it sounds like the Mavs want to be cautious here. This game doesn't have any value in terms of playoff seeding, so the team will likely opt to rest […]

Rui Hachimura Ruled Out On Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was a late scratch from the Wizards' bubble finale, but the team wants to be cautious with their young forward. Johnathan Williams is expected to draw the start with Moritz Wagner getting more minutes as well. Neither […]

Shabazz Napier Won't Play Versus Celtics

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He wasn't doing much damage when he was in the rotation, so this won't be a huge blow to the team. Troy Brown should draw the start with Ish Smith coming off the bench. Brown has struggled during […]

Kent Bazemore Ruled Out Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Kent Bazemore (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Kings have been eliminated from the postseason, so they have no incentive to play Bazemore at less than 100 percent. Daquan Jeffries should see significant playing time, so he could be a low-cost DFS option for […]

Seth Curry Listed As Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has been dealing with right leg soreness for some time, but was upgraded from questionable. Curry is expected to be limited since he is still battling an injury. He'll be a risky DFS option, assuming he is […]

Seth Curry Listed As Out For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was probable on the injury report, but it sounds like the team plans to hold him out of the second game of the back-to-back set. J.J. Barea, Trey Burke, and Delon Wright should see more minutes […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Questionable

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (mouth) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The team gave him the night off on Monday, so you'd think he'd return here. However, the Bucks are resting most of their starters, so Antetokounmpo might join them. George Hill, Pat Connaughton and Sterling Brown are going […]

Eric Bledsoe, Donte DiVincenzo Sidelined Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guards Eric Bledsoe (knee) and Donte Divincenzo (elbow) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Bucks are sitting out most of their starters here in a meaningless game. The team doesn't want to risk any injuries, so the backups will see plenty of minutes here. Pat Connaughton, Sterling […]

Wesley Matthews Sitting Out Versus Washington

Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Bucks are sitting most of their starters out of this game. Pat Connaughton and Sterling Brown are expected to be very busy without the main starters taking the court. Both players could be intriguing DFS options for […]

Daniel Theis Will Play Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (foot) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Brad Stevens said his main rotation players will take the floor, but didn't say how much they'd play. Theis could be somewhat limited here since he is coming off an injury. He'll be a risky DFS option […]

Tobias Harris Out On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He'll join Joel Embiid (ankle), Josh Richardson (rest), and Al Horford (knee) on the sideline for this one. Furkan Korkmaz, Glenn Robinson III and Matisse Thybulle will see plenty of minutes and increased usage in this one. Thybulle […]

Al Horford Not Playing Versus Suns

Philadelphia 76ers forward Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Mike Scott will slide into the starting five with most of the Sixers starters sidelined. Alec Burks could see his usage increase as well. He could be a low-cost DFS option for Tuesday's slate. Scott won't be a […]

James Harden Resting Versus Spurs

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets will give Harden the day off. He's averaging roughly 36 minutes per game during the bubble, so this makes sense. Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to […]
