Richaun Holmes is Doubtful Versus Sixers

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Holmes was able to go through 2-on-2 work during Wednesday's practice. It sounds like the Kings want Holmes do get in some more work before they clear him for game action. There's a good chance that Holmes misses […]

Dragan Bender Lands Second 10-Day Deal

Golden State Warriors forward Dragan Bender has signed a second 10-day deal with the organization. Head coach Steve Kerr had positive things to say about Bender after his first deal expired earlier this week. Draymond Green (knee) remains banged up, so the Warriors could use Bender right now. He has been hit-or-miss most of the […]

Gordon Hayward Isn't Expected to Play on Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (knee) was able to get through some work during Thursday's practice. It appears he's making progress, but Hayward isn't expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye should see more minutes if Hayward sits out a […]

Ish Smith is Ruled Out for Friday

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Smith will sit out due to a hamstring issue. Shabazz Napier and Jerome Robinson should see more minutes without Smith available. Both Napier and Robinson are worth looking at […]

Evan Fournier is Doubtful for Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (elbow) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered a right elbow sprain during Wednesday's game while diving for a loose ball. Fournier was able to play through the issue on Wednesday, but it appears the injury is worse now. Fantasy owners will likely have […]

Marvin Bagley Remains Unable to Practice

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) remains unable to practice and it's unclear if he'll play again this season. Bagley will be re-evaluated next week, so fantasy owners will have a better idea after that. The Kings aren't playing for anything, so they have no incentive to push Bagley on the court if he's not […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returns to Practice on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (elbow) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last four games due to an elbow issue. Dedmon is expected to get back into the rotation for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's not expected to be limited after missing four games and should […]

Cam Reddish is Expected to Return on Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (back) is expected to return to the rotation for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to head coach Lloyd Pierce. Reddish reportedly looked good at practice, so it appears he'll be back in the mix for their next contest. He's worth using in most deep leagues, but might not […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Could Sit Out on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a hip injury during Wednesday's game, but Finney-Smith hasn't missed a game all season. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until he goes through shootaround on Friday before getting more information. […]

Luka Doncic Misses Thursday's Practice

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness, thumb) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He has been dealing with a sprained thumb, but Doncic has been playing through the issue. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after shootaround on Friday for more information. He'll get some time to rest up […]

Stephen Curry Will Return on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's finally back, but Curry is going to be limited to 24-28 minutes on Thursday. Mychal Mulder and Jordan Poole will lose playing time and usage with Curry back in the mix. Draymond Green (knee) […]

Deandre Ayton is Limited on Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) was limited to non-contact work during Thursday's practice. It sounds unlikely that Ayton is going to take the court for Friday's game. He continues to deal with a left ankle issue and has no timetable for his return. Fantasy owners should hold onto Ayton until the MRI results are […]

Andre Drummond Won't Play Versus Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This marks the second game in a row that Drummond has missed due to a calf issue. The Cavs aren't playing for anything and will wait until he's back to 100 percent before letting Drummond back on the […]

Damian Lillard is Expected to Return on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Lillard has been targeting his date all week, so it sounds like he'll actually be back in action here. C.J. McCollum's usage will take a hit with Lillard back in the mix. Gary Trent Jr. will head […]

Brandon Knight is Questionable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is doubtful to play, while Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out for Wednesday. The Pistons may take the cautious approach and rest Knight here. Langston Galloway would likely see heavy run […]

Bruce Brown Jr. is Doubtful for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out, while Brandon Knight (knee) is listed as questionable. Langston Galloway could be asked to play significant minutes with Detroit banged up. Fantasy owners will have to check back […]

Seth Curry Could Sit Out on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls due to back tightness. However, that was the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs could have been just playing it safe. Tim Hardaway Jr. […]

Aaron Gordon is Expected to Play Versus Heat

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He was unable to play in Monday's game due to right knee inflammation. Khem Birch and Wesley Iwundu would see more minutes if Gordon is ruled out. Neither player is worth a […]

Garrett Temple Won't Play Versus Grizzlies

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was able to play through a shoulder issue on Tuesday, but apparently tweaked his ankle in the process. Timothe Luwawu could see more minutes without Temple available. Caris Levert and Spencer Dinwiddie will see all the run […]

Lauri Markkanen Will Return on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) will return to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He missed over a month of action due to a pelvis contusion, so fantasy owners should expect Markkanen to be limited here. He should see around 18-20 minutes on Wednesday as the Bulls ease him back […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will See More Minutes on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will see increased playing time for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He'll be limited to 22-24 minutes for this game as the Bulls continue to ease Carter back into action. He isn't worth owning in most standard formats while he's limited, but should have decent value once he's […]

Otto Porter Will Be Limited on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter will be limited during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Porter returned for the first time in four months versus the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. He scored 18 points, one rebound, and three assists during his 17 minutes with the second unit. He'll be limited to 20-22 minutes during Wednesday's […]

Jayson Tatum is Expected to Play Versus Cavs

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He didn't travel with the team, but it sounds like Tatum will be ready for Wednesday's contest. Jaylen Brown (hamstring), Kemba Walker (rest), and Gordon Hayward (knee) have all been ruled out. Tatum and Marcus Smart will see […]

Deandre Ayton is Unlikely to Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He rolled his left ankle on Tuesday and received an MRI on his sprained ankle on Wednesday. The MRI results haven't been announced yet, but Ayton could be looking at a multiple game absence. Aron Baynes […]

Kemba Walker Will Rest on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics aren't taking any chances and will have most of their starters out for their second game of the back-to-back set. Gordon Hayward (knee) and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) will join Walker on the sideline. Marcus Smart and […]

Gordon Hayward is Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the team has elected to take the cautious approach and rest Hayward. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams could see significant minutes in the rotation. However, Marcus Smart and Jayson […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play Against Cavs on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brown tweaked his right hamstring during Tuesday's game, so it's not shocking to see him sitting out here. There's a good chance that Brown misses more than one game from this issue. Kemba Walker (rest) and Gordon Hayward […]

Ish Smith is Doubtful Versus Blazers

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Smith experienced some left hamstring tightness on Tuesday and it appears he's unlikely to play here. Shabazz Napier should see more minutes coming his way if Smith is unable to suit up. Napier could be a popular […]

Thomas Bryant Will Rest on Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards will let Bryant rest here. Ian Mahinmi should join the first unit, but he's not a great fantasy option. Davis Bertans and Moritz Wagner will see […]

George Hill is Downgraded to Out

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (groin) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was originally listed as probable after suffering a groin injury on Monday. It appears that the issue is worse now, so the Bucks are going to play it safe and let Hill rest. Eric Bledsoe should […]
