Norman Powell is Expected to Play Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (shoulder) is expected to return to the rotation for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Powell has been sidelined since December 18 due to a shoulder issue. Fred Vanvleet (hamstring) is still out, so Powell is going to gain decent fantasy value. The Raptors might ease him back into […]

Daniel Gafford Will Start on Friday

Chicago Bulls center Daniel Gafford will jump into the starting five for his first career start on Friday versus the Indiana Pacers. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is going to be sidelined for a few weeks, so the Bulls will give Gafford a look. Thaddeus Young will head to the second unit, but could still have […]

Nerlens Noel Will Not Suit Up Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Nerlens Noel (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Noel has missed with a left ankle sprain. Head coach Billy Donovan said that Noel is improving, but is going to have him sit out at least […]

Paul Millsap Won't Play on Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the second game in a row that Millsap will sit out due to knee issues. Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee should see increased playing time without Millsap available. Grant is the better fantasy option or streaming […]

D'Angelo Russell is Ruled Out on Friday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the sixth game in a row that Russell has missed due to a bruised right shoulder. He's expected to play on Sunday versus the Grizzlies, but we'll see how that goes. He'd likely be […]

Anthony Davis Ruled Out Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (tailbone) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Davis fell during Tuesday's game and suffered a bruised tailbone. It's unclear whether or not he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's game. Kyle Kuzma will draw the start on Friday, while Dwight Howard and JaVale […]

Sammy Watkins is Tough to Trust for Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins hasn't shown much fantasy value throughout the regular season. However, playing in the playoffs sometimes wakes up players out of hibernation. Sadly, Watkins has only one game with 50 yards or more since Week 10. The Chiefs have Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Damien Williams who get targeted […]

Travis Kelce is A Top Option Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) has been arguably the best tight end in the NFL next to George Kittle this season. However, he's been limited in practice this week due to a knee issue. He's expected to play in Sunday's Divisional Round matchup with the Houston Texans. He'll be a top tier […]

Tyreek Hill Has Top-Tier Potential for Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill didn't finish the regular season on a strong note, but he's looking to have a big game on Sunday. Hill finished the season with two average performances, but fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. Hill has the kind of talent and speed to easily go over 100 yards and […]

Darwin Thompson Could See Fewer Touches on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson wasn't involved much in the first half of the season, but saw most of his carries in the month of December. The Chiefs have been banged up in the backfield, which has led to more opportunities for Thompson. However, Damien Williams and LeSean McCoy are both healthy heading […]

LeSean McCoy Could Get Involved Versus Houston

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy wasn't used in the final two weeks of the regular season. Head coach Andy Reid wanted to make sure that the veteran back was well rested for the playoffs. It sounds like the Chiefs are going to use a committee approach for Sunday's game versus the Houston Texans. […]

Damien Williams Has Big Expectations

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has put himself back into the fantasy conversation with his play over the last few weeks. He finished the regular season with a 124 yard rushing performance that also led to two touchdowns. Williams has been involved in both the run and passing game. DFS players should take […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Efficient Versus Texans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn't exactly finish the regular season on a strong note, but fantasy owners shouldn't hold that against him. He'll get a fantastic chance to rebound versus the Texans on Sunday. Houston has a below average pass defense and Mahomes should easily capitalize on that. He has unbelievable options with […]

Julius Randle is Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He didn't play in Wednesday's game and will sit out his second straight contest here. It's unclear why he's away from the team, so fantasy owners should consider him questionable for Sunday. Kevin Knox and RJ […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the third game in a row that Holiday has sat out due to a left elbow issue. There's a good chance that Holiday sits out of Saturday's contest as well. Josh Hart and Lonzo […]

Kevin Porter Jr. is Likely Out A Month

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks. He suffered a left knee sprain and the team said he'd be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Cavs have pushed back that timetable, which makes it tough to hold Porter in most formats. Dante Exum, Cedi Osman, and Brandon […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Play on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Towns has been sidelined since December 13 due to a left knee issue. He'd be under a minutes limit if he does manage to play. Fantasy owners will have to check back closer to tip-off […]

Hassan Whiteside Misses Shootaround on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (illness) was unable to get through Thursday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Blazers will likely wait until after warm ups to make a decision on Whiteside. Anthony Tolliver would be pushed into a bigger role on Thursday. He could make for […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss Weekend Set

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for the upcoming back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. The Mavs are going to continue to take the cautious approach on his sore right knee. There's a chance that he gets out there against the Warriors on Tuesday. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight Powell will continue […]

Matisse Thybulle is Back on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed nearly three weeks of action due to a right knee issue. He'll most likely be under a minutes limit for his first game back. Furkan Korkmaz and James Ennis will see less minutes going forward. Thybulle has some […]

Eric Gordon Might Sit Out on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's the same knee that Gordon had a procedure on earlier in the season. Most likely the Rockets are going to take the cautious approach and have Gordon sit out here. Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore should […]

Davis Bertans is Available on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's been sidelined since December 21 due to a right quad issue. Bertans is most likely going to be under a minutes limit for his first game back. Anzejs Pasecniks will see less minutes coming his way. Bertans probably won't […]

Danilo Gallinari is Questionable for Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was listed as out on the injury report, but something must have changed during shootaround. Darius Bazely would head back to the bench and lose his streaming appeal if Gallinari plays. Fantasy owners will need to […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Expected to Miss Weeks

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. An MRI confirmed that Carter has a high ankle sprain, so he's likely going to miss multiple weeks. Thaddeus Young and Daniel Gafford should have fantasy value while Carter is sidelined. Both are worth looking at, but Young is […]

Marvin Bagley Practices on Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) was able to fully practice on Thursday. Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is expected to miss at least one more game. He didn't practice on Thursday, so Bagley could slide into a bigger role on Friday. More information should be known after Friday's shootaround. Bagley should be a decent fantasy option […]

Richaun Holmes Sits Out of Practice

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He downplayed the injury, but sat out of Tuesday's game. He didn't practice on Thursday, which means he likely won't play on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Harry Giles and Dewayne Dedmon should soak up the extra minutes. Neither player has […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Unable to Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He did get up some shots after practice, but was reportedly unable to jump. It seems unlikely that Bogdanovic will be out there for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Trevor Ariza should continue to absorb extra playing time. He's worth […]

Avery Bradley Might Sit On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bradley was not able to finish Thursday's practice after experiencing a fever. He will travel with the team, but we'll see if Bradley actually plays. Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see more minutes if […]

Stephen Curry Should Be Re-Evaluated in January

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) was able to go through some shooting drills on Thursday. It's good news, but the Warriors aren't in any rush to bring Curry back to the court. He's expected to be re-evaluated in two or three weeks. There's a chance that Curry gets back on the court around […]

Marvin Williams Might Play on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's missed each of the last two games after undergoing a procedure to repair his broken nose. There's a chance that he wears a mask, but he shouldn't be sidelined any longer. Fantasy owners should check back on […]
