Hassan Whiteside Might Sit Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (leg) was listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was playing fantastic on Thursday, but appears to have suffered a left leg contusion in the process. Caleb Swanigan could be asked to play heavy minutes if Whiteside isn't able to play. Swanigan would be up […]

Brandon Knight, John Henson Won't Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight and center John Henson won't suit up for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Christian Wood will be asked to step up on Friday, while Thon Maker and Sekou Doumbouya get more minutes as well. Henson should have increased value in Detroit, but won't have anything more than a […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Versus Kings

Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Butler suffered a right shoulder strain during Wednesday's game. The MRI came back clean, but the Heat are going to take the cautious approach here. There's a chance that Butler is going to be sidelined until after the […]

Marcus Smart Will Play Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (quad) will play in Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Smart missed each of the last two games due to a left quad contusion. Kemba Walker (knee) will be back for this game, but he'll be limited. Jaylen Brown (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (foot) have been ruled out for this […]

Richaun Holmes Limited At Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) said he was sore after Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday. Holmes was only able to do non-contact work during Thursday's practice. The Kings are hopeful that Holmes will be back in the rotation for their next game, but we'll see. He's worth owning in all formats going […]

De'Andre Hunter Should Be Fine for Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's been dealing with a left ankle issue, but was able to play in Wednesday's contest. Cam Reddish (head) remains out with a concussion, so Hunter is expected to see around 30 minutes on Friday. He's worth rostering […]

Brad Wanamaker Should Play Versus Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The injury report is loaded for this one, so fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after Friday's shootaround for better information. Kemba Walker (knee) is questionable, but if he plays, Wanamaker will lose most […]

Jaylen Brown Might Sit Out on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It sounds like he tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He should be able to get out there, but fantasy owners should check back after Friday's shootaround for more information. Marcus Smart (quad) and […]

Kemba Walker Might Return Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker has missed each of the last three games due to left knee soreness. He's downplayed the injury, but the Celtics are going to remain cautious going forward. Marcus Smart (quad), Brad Wanamaker (ankle), and Romeo Langford would […]

Gordon Hayward is Questionable for Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with left foot soreness, so the Celtics might decide to take the cautious approach and rest Hayward. The Celtics are fairly banged up right now, so they'd likely use a committee approach to fill the void. […]

Russell Westbrook Will Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (thumb) will play in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was unable to play in Tuesday's game versus Charlotte due to a left thumb sprain. The Rockets plan on having Westbrook play in this game and sit out the following night against the Phoenix Suns. Ben McLemore, Austin […]

Isaiah Thomas Gets Waived by Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Isaiah Thomas will be waived by the organization shortly after he was acquired in a three-team trade. The Clippers have Patrick Beverley, Landry Shamet, and Lou Williams, so it appears Thomas would've been lost in the shuffle. Thomas will likely sign with a contending team. Fantasy owners should keep their eyes […]

Tristan Thompson is Expected to Come Off The Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson was not dealt during Thursday's trade deadline and won't be bought out by the organization. Andre Drummond is headed to Cleveland, so he'll immediately join the starting five. Kevin Love is at the power forward spot, so Thompson is the odd man out. His fantasy value is going to take […]

Marcus Morris Gets Dealt to Clippers

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a three-team trade. The Clippers will send forward Maurice Harkless and a 2020 first-round pick to New York. Guard Jerome Robinson goes to the Washington Wizards in exchange for veteran guard Isaiah Thomas who goes to LA. The […]

James Ennis Gets Traded for Draft Pick

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward James Ennis has been traded to the Orlando Magic for a second-round pick. He wasn't a big part of the rotation and they needed to clear roster spots with Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III joining the roster. Ennis is going to be lost in the shuffle while battling Evan Fournier, Terrence […]

Jordan McRae Acquired by Nuggets

Washington Wizards guard Jordan McRae has been acquired by the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Shabazz Napier. This is a solid move for Denver, but it's going to hurt McRae's fantasy value. He saw plenty of chances with the tanking Wizards, but will fight for his time off the bench in Denver. McRae could […]

Gorgui Dieng Goes to the Grizzlies

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng has been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for forward James Johnson. Dieng saw significant minutes for the 'Wolves when Karl-Anthony Towns was injured, but didn't make a huge impact with the second unit. Dieng is going to compete with newly acquired Jordan Bell for playing time off the bench. Dieng's […]

Andre Drummond Acquired by Cavaliers

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for guard Brandon Knight, center John Henson, and a second-round pick. It's a quite shocking move by the Cavs who aren't in the playoff race and aren't expected to be competitive the rest of the way. Drummond is able to opt […]

Skal Labissiere Goes to Atlanta

Portland Trail Blazers forward Skal Labissiere (knee) has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for cash. Labissiere is sidelined due to a left knee issue right now, but this isn't an ideal landing spot for him. The Hawks have Clint Capela, John Collins, Dewayne Dedmon, Bruno Fernando, and Damian Jones at the power […]

Jordan Bell Gets Traded Again

Houston Rockets forward Jordan Bell has been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Bruno Caboclo. This is the second time that Bell has been moved in the last two days. Bell isn't expected to see much playing time while Jonas Valanciunas is healthy. Caboclo is someone that can play multiple positions, but will […]

Omari Spellman, Jacob Evans Moved to Minnesota

Golden State Warriors forward Omari Spellman and guard Jacob Evans have been traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The deal also involves D'Angelo Russell heading to Minnesota in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Spellman had some decent fantasy value until Marquese Chriss ran away with the starting center job. He'll battle with Juan Hernangomez and Jarred Vanderbilt […]

D'Angelo Russell Sent to 'Wolves in Massive Trade

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell has been traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. The Warriors are also sending guard Jacob Evans and forward Omari Spellman to Minnesota. It seemed likely that the Wolves would make a move for a point guard after trading Jeff Teague, but trading for Russell is […]

Derrick Walton Jr. Acquired by Hawks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Derrick Walton Jr. has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for cash. This move is basically the Clippers clearing a roster spot for a possible trade. There's not much fantasy relevance from this move as the Hawks are expected to cut Walton. He won't have much of a role […]

Dion Waiters, James Johnson Heading to Memphis

Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters and forward James Johnson have been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Solomon Hill, Jae Crowder, and Andre Iguodala. Memphis will also get guard Justise Winslow (back) in the deal, but he's only played 11 games this season. This is a fairly big trade in terms of players […]

Andre Iguodala is Acquired by Miami

Memphis Grizzlies forward Andre Iguodala has been traded to the Miami Heat in exchange for guard Justise Winslow. Iguodala hasn't played a game this season, but plans to stick with the Heat for the next couple of seasons. He signed a two-year, $30 million extension with the team following the trade. Winslow has only played […]

Jabari Parker is Headed to Sacramento

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (shoulder) has been traded to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for center Dewayne Dedmon. The Kings are also acquiring center Alex Len (hip) and two second-round picks in the deal. Unfortunately. Parker and Len have been battling injuries lately, so they might not suit up for their new team until […]

Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III Traded to Sixers

Golden State Warriors guard Alec Burks and forward Glenn Robinson III have been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for three second-round picks. It's a great move for Philly who finally gets some much needed depth. Unfortunately, Burks is going to lose most of his fantasy value with the move to Philly. He could […]

Khem Birch Should Return on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Khem Birch (back) was a full participant during Wednesday's shootaround. He is expected to be back in the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed Monday's game due to back tightness, but it appears he's ready to go here. Wesley Iwundu should return to the second unit here […]

Marcus Smart Will Sit Out Against Magic

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the second game in a row that Smart has been unable to play. Kemba Walker (knee) will join him on the sideline for this game. Javonte Green, Brad Wanamaker and Carsen Edwards will see more minutes […]

Kemba Walker Will Miss Third Straight Game

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the third game in a row that Walker has missed due to left knee soreness. Marcus Smart (quad) is going to join him on the sideline for Wednesday's contest. Javonte Green, Brad Wanamaker and Carsen Edwards […]
