Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (hamstring) is hopefully going to be able to play in Saturday's game against the New York Knicks, according to head coach Jim Boylen.

Otto Porter is Ruled Out for Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He was able to get through Thursday's practice, but is officially ruled out over 24 hours in advance. The Bulls are going to be cautious with Porter, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. […]

Dewayne Dedmon Will Miss At Least Three Games

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (elbow) is going to be sidelined at least three games after undergoing a non-surgical procedure on Thursday. The Hawks will re-evaluate Dedmon on Monday, so he doesn't have a set timetable right now. Bruno Fernando could see more minutes coming his way until Dedmon returns. John Collins should be spending […]

Norman Powell Practices on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (finger) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The fact he was able to practice is a good sign that he'll be able to get back on the court soon. He could have his minutes limited […]

Marc Gasol is Able to Practice on Thursday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) was able to get in some light work during Thursday's practice. He has been sidelined since Jan. 28 due to a left hamstring injury. The Raptors don't have a timetable for his return, so it's safe to leave Gasol on the waiver wire in most formats. Serge Ibaka will […]

Luke Kornet is Likely Done for the Season

Chicago Bulls center Luke Kornet (foot) is expected to miss at least six to eight weeks of action. He is dealing with a severe left ankle sprain and fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.

Frank Ntilikina Will Sit Out Versus Hornets

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the second game in a row that Ntilikina has missed due to groin soreness. Elfrid Payton and Dennis Smith Jr. will be asked to split up the minutes at point guard. Payton is the better […]

Bismack Biyombo Will Start on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Bismack Biyombo will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cody Zeller (rest) is expected to get the game off, so Biyombo will get a chance with the first unit. The Hornets may continue to shake up their rotations as the season goes on. Biyombo could be […]

Davis Bertans Will Play on Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) will return to action for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was not able to play in Monday's contest due to right knee soreness, but shouldn't be limited much here. He could see a few less minutes than normal, but fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. Bertans should be […]

Shabazz Napier Will Start on Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Napier dropped 27 points during Monday's game, so head coach Scott Brooks will give him the nod here. It's unlikely that Napier goes off again, but he'll have increased value in the starting five. He'll be worth […]

Andre Drummond Will Sit Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavs aren't going anywhere this season, so they will let Drummond rest here. The Cavs have a back-to-back set coming up, so Drummond could be looking at a multiple game absence. Tristan Thompson should slide back into […]

Eric Gordon is Ruled Out Against Memphis

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said on Tuesday that he was hopeful Gordon could return here. However, the Rockets are going to take the cautious approach and let Gordon rest at least one more game. Russell Westbrook (thumb) is […]

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk has been suspended for violating the league's anti-drug policy. It's unclear what he tested positive for, but his suspension will continue until he's determined to be in compliance with the program, according to Shams Charania. Dwayne Bacon could get called up from the G-League, while Cody Martin gets more playing […]

Kemba Walker is Ruled Out Versus Jazz

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Brad Stevens said on Tuesday that Walker was unlikely to suit up here. Marcus Smart should remain in the starting five and be a reliable DFS choice for Wednesday's slate. Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Gordon […]

Draymond Green is Probable for Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (pelvis) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Green has missed each of the last two games due to a right pelvic contusion. He was able to get through practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign moving forward. Eric Paschall should see his […]

Joe Ingles Moves to the Bench

Utah Jazz guard Joe Ingles will move to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Veteran Mike Conley will move back into the starting five, but he hasn't played well in that spot this season. The Jazz are trying new rotations and seeing what works as the playoffs get closer. Conley should […]

Jimmy Butler Will Return on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will return for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Butler has missed each of the last two games due to personal reasons. Derrick Jones should head back to the bench, while Kendrick Nunn and Goran Dragic will see reduced roles. Butler shouldn't be limited at all for Wednesday's game.

LaMarcus Aldridge is Ruled Out for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is dealing with right shoulder soreness, so the Spurs will give him the day off. Rudy Gay could jump into the starting five and be a decent streaming choice. DeMar DeRozan is expected to benefit the […]

Davis Bertans is Questionable Versus Nets

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bertans sat out of Monday's game due to right knee soreness, but head coach Scott Brooks said it was nothing serious.

Jimmy Butler is Listed as Questionable for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has missed each of the last two games due to a personal issue. Derrick Jones has been starting in his place and will likely do that again if Butler sits out on Wednesday. Kendrick Nunn and Goran […]

Brandon Clarke is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He exited early during Monday's game due to a right quad issue. There's a chance that Clarke is going to be sidelined multiple games. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) will join him on the sideline, so the Grizzlies are […]

Draymond Green Won't Play Against Kings

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (pelvis) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This marks the second game in a row that Green has missed due to a pelvic contusion. Marquese Chriss (calf) is returning on Tuesday, so he'll be asked to do more alongside Eric Paschall. It's unclear whether […]

Marquese Chriss is Upgraded to Probable

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss (calf) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was unable to practice on Monday, but it seems that shootaround went well on Tuesday.

Devonte' Graham is Resting on Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach James Borrego is giving Graham a rest day since he has played every game this season. Malik Monk is starting in his place and could be worth looking at as a streaming option. He won't have […]

Norman Powell is Out At Least Another Week

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (finger) is going to be sidelined at least one more week. He's looking at missing three more games and will be re-evaluated in one week. He could still miss more time after next week, so fantasy owners don't have a solid timetable for his return. Terence Davis and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson […]

Stephen Curry Will Return on Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) will return to the court for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. This was his expected return date, but it appears Curry is actually going to make his timetable. There should be some restrictions on Curry, but he should be owned in all fantasy formats going forward. Ky […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out for Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was able to get some shots up at shootaround, but didn't feel good enough to take the court here. Aaron Holiday and Justin Holiday will see increased playing time for the second straight game. Fantasy owners should […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Might Sit Out on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's reportedly dealing with left knee soreness, so the Pistons may elect to take the cautious approach here. The Pistons season isn't going anywhere, so there is no need to push Brown if he's not 100 percent […]

Ben Simmons Will Be Evaluated in Two Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is battling a nerve impingement in his lower back and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Sixers haven't given an exact timetable for his return, but he could very well miss more time than two weeks. Fantasy owners should hold Simmons for now and hope for the best. […]

Eric Gordon is Questionable Against Grizzlies

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He received the start for Russell Westbrook (thumb) on Monday, but left after 28 minutes due to right knee soreness.
