Ja Morant Will Rest Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (rest) will sit out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Taylor Jenkins wants to limit Morant's minutes early in the season. Saturday is the second game of a back-to-back set, but the Grizzlies don't play another back-to-back until December. Tyus Jones will start on Saturday and will […]

Kyle Lowry Out Next Two Weeks

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (hand) is going to be sidelined the next two weeks after suffering an injury on Friday. Lowry has been diagnosed with a fracture of the distal phalanx of his left thumb. Fred Vanvleet will see all the minutes he can handle, while Norman Powell will see a spike in playing […]

Serge Ibaka Will Undergo MRI

Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka (ankle) will undergo an MRI in Los Angeles and is out indefinitely. Ibaka suffered a sprained right ankle during the first half of Friday's game. He was seen leaving the locker room in a walking boot, so that's not a good sign. Chris Boucher should see increased playing time off […]

Brandon Clarke Won't Play Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies center Brandon Clarke (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Clarke has been battling back soreness over the last month, so the Grizzlies will let him rest here. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, but Clarke did play on Friday. Bruno Caboclo and Kyle Anderson should […]

Mitchell Robinson Won't Suit Up on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Paul George Practices on Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) was able to suit up for practice on Saturday. Head coach Doc Rivers said there is a possibility that George suits up for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He'll likely be limited and eased back into action, but George is getting closer to a return. Fantasy owners […]

Blake Griffin Will Make Season Debut on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) will make his season debut against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. He was cleared for basketball activities this week.

Troy Brown Will Start on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Troy Brown will jump into the starting five for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brown will get the nod over veteran C.J. Miles.

Aaron Holiday Gets Another Start

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday will get another chance in the starting five for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Holiday dropped 18 points and did a solid job against Isaiah Thomas on Wednesday. He should see around 30 minutes here and is worth looking at as a cheap DFS option.

Myles Turner Officially Ruled Out for Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Myles Turner (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Turner has been making progress, but the team isn't going to rush him back to the court. However, Turner should be back in the lineup within the next few games. Goga Bitadze (concussion) will join Turner on the […]

Justise Winslow Enters Concussion Protocol

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol.

D'Angelo Russell is Probable for Friday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Russell has missed the last three games due to a right ankle issue.

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ross will miss his second game in a row, but head coach Steve Clifford said Ross might play able to play on Saturday.

Goga Bitadze (concussion) has already been ruled out for this one. Domantas Sabonis will be asked to hold down the fort, assuming […]

Lonzo Ball Will Suit Up on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) will be active for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Fantasy owners can go ahead […]

Shabazz Napier is Expected to Sit Out

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shabazz Napier (hamstring) is in danger of missing his second straight game on Friday. Napier is a game-time decision, but is listed as doubtful on the injury report.

Jeff Teague Has Been Ruled Out for Friday

Eric Gordon Will Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (hamstring) will be back in action for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a hamstring injury on Monday, but appears to be ready to go on Saturday. It'll only be a one game absence for Gordon, but he's been awful this season. Fantasy owners may want to consider […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Smith has been away from the team due to a death in the family, but rejoined the Knicks on Thursday. The Knicks don't feel that Smith is ready to play yet, so he'll sit this one […]

DeAndre Jordan Ruled Out on Friday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jordan suffered a sprained left ankle on Monday and has been limited since then. Jarrett Allen should draw the start at center on Friday and will see 30 plus minutes. Nicolas Claxton will see backup minutes off […]

Chandler Hutchison Jumps Into Starting Five

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Otto Porter (foot) is going to be sidelined for that one and likely longer. Hutchison scored nine points, four rebounds, and one assists during his 29 minutes on Wednesday. He's worth a look in deep leagues, but that's […]

Otto Porter Has Been Ruled Out for Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Porter exited Wednesday's game with a left foot issue, but did check back into the game. It's a soft tissue issue, so it's difficult to put a timetable on Porter's return, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Porter […]

Ben Simmons is Out Next Three Games

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) is expected to miss at least the next three games for the team. Simmons suffered a sprained right AC joint during Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The X-rays were negative, but he won't be re-evaluated again until Sunday. The Sixers will probably use a committee approach to fill […]

Cam Reddish is Probable for Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (shoulder) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's dealing with a sore right shoulder, but was able to play fine on Wednesday. The Hawks are likely just being cautious here with their young rookie. Reddish doesn't have great stats to start the season, but should […]

J.J. Redick is Listed as Questionable Versus Raptors

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Redick is dealing with a right knee bruise, so they team may take the cautious approach here. Fantasy owners won't have a better idea until after shootaround on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Frank Jackson would see increased […]

Lonzo Ball is Probable for Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He left Monday's game due to a leg cramp, so this issue is new information. However, it doesn't seem to big a huge deal and he should be fine after a day or so off. Fantasy owners […]

Jaylen Brown is Back on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed a week of action while dealing with an illness.
