Damian Lillard Should Return Against Cavs

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (back) is probable to return against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. He's been battling back issues lately and has missed the last two games. Anfernee Simons, Rodney Hood and Carmelo Anthony have been getting increased minutes without Lillard on the court. Simons is going to take the biggest hit […]

Hassan Whiteside Might Sit Out on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Thursday's game due to right hip tendinosis, so there's a good chance that he sits out again. Skal Labissiere played fantastic on Thursday, so he should be rostered in most formats. Anthony Tolliver will get […]

Danuel House Could Play on Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was doubtful on Thursday, so that's a good sign that he's been upgraded to questionable. Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers would be asked to fill in again if House is unable to play. Fantasy owners will […]

Serge Ibaka Will Travel With the Team

Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka (ankle) will travel with the organization to Atlanta, but is not expected to play. Head coach Nick Nurse said Ibaka is close to returning, but wants him to practice before getting back into game action. It doesn't seem too likely that Ibaka plays against the Hawks on Saturday, but we'll […]

Kyle Lowry Could Return in Early December

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) has not played since November 9 due to a fracture in his left thumb. He's going to miss at least four more games, but could return as early as December 1, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell will continue to see as much playing […]

Malcolm Brogdon Doesn't Practice Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. He tweaked his back last weekend and has missed the last couple of games because of it. Brogdon should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game after missing practice twice in a row. Aaron Holiday should make at least one more start […]

Derrick White Has Been Ruled Out for Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable on Thursday, but the Spurs will remain cautious here. Patty Mills, Bryn Forbes, and Dejounte Murray will fill the guard position as a committee. Mills played well on Wednesday and could make […]

Draymond Green Will Sit Out on Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (heel) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the second game in a row that Green has missed due to a sore right heel. Ky Bowman played well on Wednesday and will likely get another chance in the starting lineup here. Marquese Chriss […]

Nikola Vucevic Could Return in Early December

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) was originally expected to miss a month of action, but could actually return to the court much sooner. He's been diagnosed with a right lateral ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in roughly a week. Vucevic will miss at least four games, but has a chance to return in […]

Chandler Hutchison is Questionable for Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (shin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as doubtful on Thursday, but it appears that Hutchison has improved somewhat. Shaquille Harrison dropped 15 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three steals on Wednesday. He'd lose most of his streaming appeal if Hutchison […]

Hassan Whiteside Misses Shootaround

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (hip) was not able to participate during Thursday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable with a right hip issue, but he missed shootaround, so that's not a good sign. The Blazers are already without Damian Lillard (back) for this game. Skal Labissiere could be forced into heavy minutes and be […]

Anfernee Simons is Active Through Shootaround

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) was able to fully participate during Thursday's shootaround. He's been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but is expected to play. Damian Lillard (back) will sit out his second straight game here. Simons will be a popular DFS option on Thursday, assuming he's able […]

Damian Lillard Won't Play on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lillard has been playing through a back issue, but is now going to miss his second game in a row because of it. C.J. McCollum and Anfernee Simons (ankle) will handle most of the ball handling duties. […]

Ricky Rubio Might Sit Against Pelicans

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (back) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rubio was able to play on Tuesday despite his back issues. However, he played only 16 minutes, so he'd be a risky DFS option for Thursday. Tyler Johnson and Elie Okobo would see more minutes […]

Josh Richardson is Listed as Questionable for Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Josh Richardson (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Richardson was unable to suit up for Wednesday's game because of a right hip flexor issue. Furkan Korkmaz may land another start, but he won't be much of a streaming option. It doesn't sound like Richardson will […]

Steven Adams Able to Practice on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. Adams has already missed three games this month due to a left knee issue. Head coach Billy Donovan said Adams is still dealing with the issue, so hopefully it's something he can overcome soon. The Thunder may limit Adams until he's […]

Nikola Vucevic is Out At Least A Month

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) is expected to be out of game action for at least a month. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's contest. He was spotted on crutches and in a walking boot, so that's never a good sign. He's not expected to return until about the middle of December. […]

Jeremy Lamb, T.J. McConnell Practice on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guards Jeremy Lamb (ankle) and T.J. McConnell (groin) were able to suit up for practice on Thursday. Lamb has missed the last seven games due to a left ankle sprain. He could be limited his first game back, but Malcolm Brogdon (back) is doubtful, so having Lamb would be great for Indiana. McConnell […]

Malcolm Brogdon Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. He's been sidelined since last Saturday due to back soreness. The Pacers don't play until Saturday, so there's a chance he does suit up for that one. However, the fact he wasn't able to practice on Thursday isn't a positive […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Questionable for Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bogdanovic felt left hamstring tightness during the end of Wednesday's contest. The Kings don't believe it's a serious issue, but might decide to take the cautious approach here. Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hield, and Cory Joseph would all benefit […]

Avery Bradley Remains Out During Road Trip

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (leg) has been ruled out for the upcoming four-game road trip. Bradley is going to miss at least one more week of action. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will continue to start in the meantime, while Quinn Cook and Alex Caruso see extra minutes off the bench. Caldwell-Pope is worth a look […]

Kyrie Irving is Ruled Out for Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He wasn't able to practice on Thursday and will continue to be sidelined due to a right shoulder issue. Spencer Dinwiddie has been starting and getting a heavy usage without Irving available. Dinwiddie will continue to be a […]

Danuel House is Expected to Sit on Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. House has been banged up lately, but is a solid streaming option most games when healthy. He's dealing with a sore left shoulder, but that isn't something that should sideline him for too long. Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers […]

Chandler Hutchison is Doubtful for Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (shin) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Hutchison is still banged up and has shin splints, so the Bulls should remain cautious here. Shaquille Harrison dropped 15 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three steals on Wednesday. He's looking like a popular streaming option while […]

Justise Winslow is Not Traveling for Weekend Series

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) will not travel with the team for their upcoming back-to-back set this weekend. He continues to be sidelined with a concussion and it's unclear when Winslow will be able to return. Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson, and Tyler Herro will see extra minutes with Winslow sidelined.

Derrick White Might Sit on Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. White is dealing with a sore left foot and wasn't able to suit up for Wednesday's contest. Patty Mills and Dejounte Murray filled in for the injured White. That will likely be more of the same, assuming […]

Kevin Love is Probable for Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He did not play in Monday's game due to a sore back, but appears fine to play on Wednesday. Tristan Thompson (rest) will not suit up, so Love would be asked to play a bigger role most likely. […]

Tony Snell Won't Play Against Bulls

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Tony Snell (hip) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was able to practice on Tuesday, but Snell has been dealing with a hip issue for about a week. The Pistons are just going to play it safe here and let Snell rest. Luke Kennard and Langston Galloway […]

Derrick White Ruled Out on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. White is dealing with a left foot issue and won't be able to suit up here. The Spurs have been careful with Dejounte Murray, so Patty Mills should see an extended role instead of Murray.

Jonathan Isaac Will Return on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will return for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's missed the last two games due to an ankle issue, but was able to fully participate in Tuesday's practice. Al-Farouq Aminu should return to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal. Fantasy owners should expect Isaac to […]
