Goran Dragic Could Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hasn't missed a game this season, and the Heat will need him with Justise Winslow (head) already ruled out. Fantasy owners will have a better idea about his status after shootaround on Thursday. Kendrick Nunn would be […]

James Johnson Should Play on Thursday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Tuesday's game due to an illness, but should be fine for Thursday. Justise Winslow (concussion) and Derrick Jones (hip) will remain sidelined for this one. Johnson will carry short-term fantasy value while the Heat are banged […]

Hassan Whiteside is Probable for Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's dealing with a sprained right foot and only played 21 minutes against the Kings on Tuesday. The fact that it's a back-to-back set could be a factor too. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off […]

Mitchell Robinson is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's been out since November 6 after getting hit in the head during a game against the Pistons. Taj Gibson, Kevin Knox, and Bobby Portis will see more minutes until Robinson is back. Knox should have the […]

Iman Shumpert Signs with Nets

The Brooklyn Nets and guard Iman Shumpert have reportedly agreed to an NBA contract. Caris Levert (thumb) is expected to miss at least three weeks of action. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is a little banged up, so signing Shumpert makes sense. He should see some minutes off the bench, but won't be worth looking at in […]

Omari Spellman is Questionable Against Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward Omari Spellman (ankle) was able to go through shootaround, but is listed as questionable for Thursday's game. Spellman was unable to practice on Tuesday due to a left ankle injury. Marquese Chriss would gain minutes without Spellman on the court, but Chriss isn't much of a fantasy option regardless.

Zach LaVine is Unable to Practice on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday. It sounds like the team gave him the day off after he rolled his ankle on Tuesday. He's listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Fantasy owners shouldn't be worried because this injury sounds very minor. More […]

Otto Porter Won't Suit Up on Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Porter is still been bothered by a left foot sprain, but head coach Jim Boylen said he's making improvements. Chandler Hutchison has started the last two games without Porter available. Hutchison isn't a great fantasy option, but could […]

Caris LeVert Likely Out Three Weeks

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thumb) is expected to miss at least three weeks of action due to injury. LeVert is dealing with ligament damage to his right thumb. He's meeting with a specialist on Wednesday, so hopefully more information will be known after that. Garrett Temple and Spencer Dinwiddie will benefit the most without […]

Kyrie Irving is Questionable for Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Irving is dealing with a right shoulder impingement, but still managed to drop 27 points in 37 minutes on Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie would be leaned on heavily if Irving does miss time. Fantasy owners will have to check […]

Rodney Hood is Probable for Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Hood was probable on Tuesday, but did not suit up against the Kings due to back spasms. The Blazers may limit his minutes even if he does play here. Mario Hezonja, Anfernee Simons and Kent Bazemore would […]

OG Anunoby Ruled Out for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Anunoby met with an eye specialist on Tuesday, so his timetable will be known in a few days. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson should see more minutes coming his way until Anunoby is back in the lineup. Jefferson could be […]

Ben Simmons is Back on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) is back in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Simmons was expected to miss three games after injuring his shoulder. However, he'll miss only two games and be back for this one without any limits. Raul Neto will head back to the bench and lose […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Available for Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He hasn't played with the team since October 26 due to a death in the family. Head coach David Fizdale has not announced the starting five, but Frank Ntilikina has been playing well at point guard. He's […]

Steven Adams is Back in Action on Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) will be back in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Adams was unable to suit up for Sunday's game due to a nagging right knee contusion. He'll be back here and shouldn't be limited at all in this one. Nerlens Noel will head back […]

Blake Griffin Ruled Out for Tuesday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Griffin played well during his season debut against the Timberwolves on Monday. However, it's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons will be cautious. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood should soak up most of the […]

Derrick Rose Won't Play on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (rest) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Rose returned from a hamstring injury on Monday, but landed on just 3-of-13 field goal attempts. The Pistons will be cautious and let Rose rest in the second game of the back-to-back set. Bruce Brown (knee) could be headed […]

Danuel House is Doubtful for Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a back contusion during the second quarter of Monday's game. Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers should see increased playing time, assuming House won't be available Wednesday. Eric Gordon (knee) will be sidelined six weeks, so […]

Eric Gordon is Out Next Six Weeks

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is expected to be sidelined up to six weeks after having a knee procedure. Head coach Mike D’Antoni confirmed that Gordon will undergo knee surgery. Gordon has been awful this season and is safe to drop in just about every format. Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore will see increased […]

Bruce Brown is Questionable for Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Brown played through his right knee contusion on Monday. However, he was only out there 13 minutes and might just sit out here. Derrick Rose (rest) will already be sidelined, so Tim Frazier could be looking at […]

Brandon Ingram Misses Practice on Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) did not suit up for practice on Tuesday. Ingram is dealing with some right knee soreness, but thankfully the MRI came back clean. His knee tightened up on him during Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The team is unsure if Ingram will be able to play in […]

Damian Jones Will Start on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks center Damian Jones will jump into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks his first start on Atlanta, but he's played decent minutes off the bench. He dropped eight points, seven rebounds, and one assist on Sunday. Alex Len (ankle) will head to the bench for this game […]

Alex Len is Probable for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's dealing with a minor ankle injury, but it sounds like Len can play through the soreness. Damian Jones is going to start at center on Tuesday, so Len will lose a lot of his fantasy value anyway. […]

Landry Shamet is Without Timetable

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Landry Shamet (ankle) has been ruled out indefinitely after suffering an injury on Monday. Shamet has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 high ankle sprain. Often times those injuries can take around six to 12 weeks to heal, but each person is different. Patrick Beverley, Maurice Harkless, and Rodney McGruder should […]

Ben Simmons Could Play Against Cavs

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was expected to miss three games due to a shoulder injury, but we'll see if that happens. This game would mark the third game, but Simmons is listed as a game-time decision right now. Raul Neto would […]

Rajon Rondo is Upgraded to Probable

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was able to get through some 5-on-5 work during Monday's practice. This will be his season debut, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Rondo limited here. Rondo could be worth a look in deep […]

Damion Lee is Out Two Weeks

Golden State Warriors forward Damion Lee (hand) will be sidelined at least two weeks. He has been diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand. Alec Burks and Jordan Poole should benefit the most from the loss of Lee. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks. Burks has the most upside […]

Justise Winslow Has Been Ruled Out for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's been in concussion protocol since November 7 and must clear the league's system before playing again. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro (ankle), and Kendrick Nunn should benefit without Winslow. Dragic is the best fantasy option out of the […]

Blake Griffin is Back on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring, knee) will be back in the starting five for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Pistons have not announced what kind of limits Griffin will have during his first game. Fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging him in, but DFS players might want to stay away. Markieff […]

Khris Middleton Out Several Weeks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (leg) is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, according to Shams Charania. Middleton left Sunday's game after suffering a left leg injury. He's expected to miss multiple weeks, but an exact timetable has not been announced yet. Sterling Brown might move into the starting lineup and would be worth a […]
