Marcus Smart Won't Play Versus Cavs

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's getting closer to a return, but the Celtics are going to be cautious and sit him at least one more game. There's a chance that he suits up for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Gordon Hayward […]

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out of Friday's Practice

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. It appears he's under the weather, but the Bulls don't play again until Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. Thaddeus Young would benefit the most if Markkanen is unable to play on Saturday. Young would be worth a look as a DFS […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. However, he's getting much closer to a return and could be ready to play by Monday. There's a good chance that he comes off the bench, but he'll hold fantasy value in most standard leagues. Fantasy owners should […]

Dante Exum Will Make Team Debut on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum will join the rotation for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, according to head coach John Beilein. Exum will likely jump into Jordan Clarkson's role, but the Cavs will be cautious with him. Kevin Porter Jr. and Cedi Osman could see more minutes as well. Exum is only worth a […]

Larry Nance Jr. Will Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He did not suit up for Monday's game due to knee soreness. Nance should see more chances coming his way with Jordan Clarkson in Utah now. He should be owned in most fantasy leagues at the moment.

De'Aaron Fox is Unable to Practice on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (back) was unable to suit up for practice on Friday. He suffered a back injury early in Thursday's contest and was unable to return to that game. It's unclear whether or not Fox will suit up for Saturday's game. Cory Joseph would start if Fox is unable to play and […]

Davis Bertans Won't Play Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It sounds like Bertans could miss at least a week of action, so that's not good news for Wizards' fans. Ian Mahinmi and Anzejs Pasecniks will continue to see a decent amount of minutes in the rotation with […]

Danilo Gallinari is Out on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the second game in a row that Gallinari has missed due to a sore ankle. There's a chance that he plays on Friday, but it's a wait and see kind of thing. Darius Bazley is […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play on Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He missed Monday's game due to a left groin issue. The contest on Friday is the first game of a back-to-back set. The Pacers may decide to take the cautious approach and have Brogdon sit out the first […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Will Try to Play on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) will try to play in Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Pistons have lost five straight games and aren't in good shape at the moment. Having Brown back will help, but he's a risky DFS option for Thursday. It's unclear how much he's going to play, so […]

Luka Doncic Will Return on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed that Doncic will return on Thursday, so fantasy owners can feel safe about plugging him back into their lineups. There's a chance that he'll see a minutes limit after missing […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Participates in Shootaround

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was able to participate in shootaround on Thursday. He's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but reportedly looked good during shootaround. Cory Joseph and Trevor Ariza will lose playing time if Bogdanovic returns on Thursday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off for more […]

Justise Winslow Remains Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) remains out of the rotation for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He did some light shooting at practice on Thursday, but continues to deal with a bone bruise in his back. It's unclear when Winslow is going to return to the court. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, and Kendrick […]

Taj Gibson is Good to Go for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He sat out of Monday's game due to an illness, but it appears that he's feeling better now. Mitchell Robinson has been outplaying Gibson most games, so it'll be interesting to see if […]

Deandre Ayton is Listed as Out for Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was able to practice on Thursday, but it appears he'll sit out Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The Suns are going to be cautious with their star center, so he'll likely sit out until […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out for Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Carter-Williams has been sidelined. It's unclear at the moment how long he's going to be out. D.J. Augustin and Wesley Iwundu will gain some playing time until Carter-Williams returns. […]

PJ Washington Should Return on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington has missed the last five games with a pinky issue, but is probable for Friday. Nicolas Batum should head back to the second unit, while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is probably bounced out of the rotation. Washington […]

Eric Paschall is Questionable for Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He left Wednesday's contest against the Rockets and didn't return after playing only seven minutes. Draymond Green, Marquese Chriss, and possibly Willie Cauley-Stein will gain value if Paschall is sidelined on Friday. Green and Cauley-Stein are the only two […]

Kevon Looney Ruled Out for Weekend Set

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdominal) has been ruled out for the next two games. Looney is dealing with soreness in his abdominal and won't suit up for Friday or Saturday's contest. Willie Cauley-Stein will gain some playing time and should be worth adding in most formats. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss could see […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Smart is reportedly feeling better after dealing with an eye infection the last week or so. It sounds like he'll be back in action on Friday and shouldn't be limited at all. Brad Wanamaker would lose basically all […]

Robert Covington is Not Listed on Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington (head) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's been going through a difficult time lately and left Monday's game after getting hit in the head. It appears he's fine for Thursday, but DFS owners should remain cautious. Covington is in a solid […]

Kevon Looney is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdominal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Looney is dealing with soreness in his abdominal region, so the team will have him sit this one out. However, he wasn't a big part of the rotation and he shouldn't be owned in most formats. Willie […]

Eric Gordon is Listed as Out for Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's making progress, but won't suit up for this contest. The Rockets are hopeful that Gordon could be able to play in Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He hasn't been reliable this season, but Austin Rivers […]

Gordon Hayward is Probable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's missed each of the last three games due to left foot soreness. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams will see reduced roles with Hayward likely back in the rotation. Hayward should be a reliable fantasy option in most […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This was expected as Smart continues to deal with eye infections in both his eyes. It sounds like Smart wants to get back on the court by the end of the month. Until then, Gordon Hayward (foot) and […]

Taj Gibson is Questionable Against Nets

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He didn't play on Monday due to an illness, which let Mitchell Robinson jump into the starting five. Robinson didn't play great on Monday, but he does have fantasy value. However, the Knicks are loaded in the […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Monday's game due to an Achilles issue, but the team isn't going to rush him back to the court. The Knicks season isn't going well and Morris is a decent trade piece for them. They want to […]

Luka Doncic Was Able to Practice on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice. The Mavs are unsure whether or not Doncic will be able to play on Thursday, but head coach Rick Carlisle indicated things are looking better for Doncic. Jalen Brunson, Delon Wright, and Seth Curry will lose value once Doncic returns. Brunson has […]

LeBron James Practices on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (back) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He sat out for the first time this season on Sunday and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It takes a lot for James to sit out, so fantasy owners should expect him out […]

Anthony Davis Was Able to Practice on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He tweaked his right knee on Sunday and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It sounds like Davis should be able to play this one after getting through practice on Tuesday. Fantasy owners should […]
