Kyle Kuzma Will Sit Against Heat

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Kuzma has been battling an ankle issue since late November.

Paul Millsap Could Sit Out on Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (quad) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He suffered a right quad strain on Thursday and was unable to return to that contest. The Nuggets may decide to take the cautious approach with their veteran forward. Jerami Grant, Michael Porter Jr., and Mason Plumlee […]

Tyler Herro Will Play on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was unable to practice on Thursday, but it appears he's feeling well enough to suit up.

Moritz Wagner Ruled Out for Saturday

Washington Wizards center Moritz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Wagner will sit out here due to an ankle sprain, but hopefully it'll only cost him one game. Ian Mahinmi will be the only center on the roster, but he's not a great fantasy option. Rui Hachimura and […]

Fred VanVleet Could Sit Out on Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as doubtful due to a right knee issue that has caused him to miss the last two games. Norman Powell has jumped into the starting five in the absence of VanVleet. He's played […]

Devin Booker Doesn't Practice on Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) was unable to suit up for practice on Friday. He's listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Lou Williams Ruled Out on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Patrick Beverley (head) and Landry Shamet (ankle) will remain on the sidelines with Williams. Jerome Robinson could draw the start, while Derrick Walton Jr. gets increased minutes off the bench. Neither player is going to be much […]

Al Horford Ruled Out Against Pelicans

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (knee, hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is the second game in a row that Horford has sat out due to lingering injuries. Matisse Thybulle played 30 minutes off the bench on Thursday, while Mike Scott was reliable off the bench. Both […]

Eric Paschall Ruled Out for Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as doubtful on Thursday, so it's not shocking to see Paschall sitting out here. The Warriors aren't going to be competitive this season, so Paschall could sit multiple games. Omari Spellman and Marquese […]

Nikola Vucevic Won't Play Against Rockets

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Vucevic was able to get through shootaround, but the team is going to take it slow. It sounds like Vucevic should be fine for Sunday. Khem Birch and Mohamed Bamba will have fantasy value for at least one […]

Markelle Fultz is Back on Friday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (illness) is back in the starting five for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed Wednesday's game due to a stomach bug, but was able to go through shootaround on Friday. D.J. Augustin is expected to return to the second unit with Fultz ready to play again. DFS players […]

Kyrie Irving Remains Out on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Irving suffered a shoulder injury in mid-November and hasn't suited up since then. He still hasn't been cleared for contact, so it's unknown when Irving will return to the court. Spencer Dinwiddie will continue to start and is […]

Russell Westbrook Expected to Sit Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (rest) will suit up for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. However, Westbrook is expected to sit out of Saturday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. He missed three games in November during back-to-back sets. Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore will see increased minutes if Westbrook is out. Fantasy owners should […]

Markelle Fultz Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (illness) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. Fultz missed Wednesday's game due to an illness and is questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. D.J. Augustin would remain in the starting five if Fultz doesn't play on Friday. Michael Carter-Williams would see more minutes as the backup […]

Al Horford is Questionable Against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Al Horford (knee, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Horford was able to get through shootaround, so that's a good sign. Mike Scott would be asked to jump into the starting five if Horford sits out. James Ennis and Matisse Thybulle would see increased minutes off […]

Delon Wright Ruled Out for Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Delon Wright (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It sounds like Wright has been improving, but the Mavs want to play it safe here. Seth Curry and J.J. Barea will see extended minutes without Wright on the court. Neither player is worth looking at besides in […]

Nikola Vucevic Practices on Thursday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) was able to go through a full practice on Thursday. He was able to participate in shootaround on Wednesday as well, so it appears things are heading in the right direction.

Robert Williams Will Miss His Third Straight Game

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Marcus Smart Will Sit Against 76ers

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's dealing with an eye infection, but Smart has also been under the weather lately. He's going to sit out his third game in a row here, but he should be able to get back on the court […]

Tyler Herro Misses Practice on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. He's listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Justise Winslow (back) and Goran Dragic (groin) have already been ruled out for that one. Kendrick Nunn would likely be asked to play minutes in the 40s if […]

Goran Dragic Remains Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the sixth game in a row that Dragic has missed due to a groin issue. It doesn't sound like he's made much progress, so the Heat could be without him for a few more games. […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed three weeks earlier in the season due to a concussion. Winslow is going to miss his fourth straight game due to a lower back strain on Friday. He's giving fantasy owners headaches, but Winslow is […]

Andre Drummond is Questionable on Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's dealing with left eye inflammation, but it normally takes a lot to get Drummond to sit out. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood will split up the minutes if Drummond is out. Wood is a better streaming option […]

Jusuf Nurkic Could Return Around All-Star Break

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (leg) is looking to get back on the court around the All-Star break in February. The Blazers will ease Nurkic back into the rotation, so he won't be a great fantasy option right away. Hassan Whiteside is most likely going to stick in the starting five. Nurkic isn't much […]

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's been dealing with left hand discomfort since the beginning of December. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington should see more minutes with Batum and Marvin Williams (knee) likely both sidelined on Friday. Washington is looking like the better […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Against Bulls

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington will see increased playing time, especially with Nicolas Batum (hand) doubtful for Friday as well. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been back in the rotation lately, but will lose most of his minutes once Williams […]

Ja Morant Will Sit Versus Bucks

Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Grizzlies have a back-to-back set this weekend, so they will rest Morant for at least the first game. Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton will split up the minutes at point guard on Friday. Melton is the better […]

Brandon Clarke Ruled Out for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Brandon Clarke (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to return on Wednesday, but the Grizzlies don't want to push him too hard. Jonas Valanciunas, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Bruno Caboclo will split up the extra minutes. Valanciunas is the best fantasy option out […]

Avery Bradley Will Be Limited on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (leg) will be limited off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will draw another start, while Bradley gets 15 minutes off the bench in this one. The Lakers are going to ease Bradley back into the rotation. He should get around 20-25 minutes once […]

Marvin Bagley is Probable for Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (thumb) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been sidelined since opening night, so the Kings are excited to get Bagley back in their rotation.
