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 […]

Jabari Parker Wants to Play on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's dealing with right shoulder pain, but is likely going to play through the issue. Parker has been a better fantasy option since John Collins (suspension) was knocked out of the rotation. He should continue to put […]

Larry Nance Jr. is Back in the Starting Five

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (thumb) returns to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He's missed the last two games due to a thumb issue, but should be fine going forward. Tristan Thompson (rest) won't suit up here, so Nance should see at least 30 minutes in this game. He'll […]

Jake Layman Won't Play Against Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jake Layman (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's dealing with a sprained toe, but it's not something that should keep him sidelined for long. Andrew Wiggins (illness) could return to the starting five after missing the last three games. Jarrett Culver would be a streaming […]

Andrew Wiggins is Active During Shootaround

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) was able to fully participate during Wednesday's shootaround. However, Wiggins remains listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Jarrett Culver will continue to have streaming appeal until Wiggins returns to the starting five. Fantasy owners should check back for an update closer to tip-off.

Chandler Hutchison Ruled Out Against Pistons

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (shin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Jim Boylen didn't reveal a timetable for Hutchison's return, so he could be sidelined for a bit. It's unclear who is going to start instead of Hutchison on Wednesday. Thaddeus Young would be the best bet, […]

Josh Richardson Ruled Out Against Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Josh Richardson (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. The injury is being called a right hip flexor, but it shouldn't be something that sidelines him longer than one game. Furkan Korkmaz should jump into the starting five on Wednesday. He won't have standard league value, […]

Seth Curry is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was listed as questionable for this one, but he's not going to battle through the illness to play here. Delon Wright, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jalen Brunson will split up the extra minutes. Wright should have […]

Marcus Smart Should Play Against Clippers

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is expected to be fine for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Smart tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's game, but he's not expected to miss any time. Jaylen Brown would absorb some more minutes if Smart doesn't suit up. However, he's expected to play, so fantasy owners shouldn't […]

Draymond Green is Fine for Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (elbow) has been removed from the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Green fell and hit his elbow during Tuesday's game, but appears fine. Fantasy owners shouldn't be worried about Green missing this game or being limited. However, they should check back before tip-off just to […]

Kawhi Leonard is Expected to Return on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is expected to return for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Leonard has missed the last three games due to a left knee issue. He was at shootaround, so fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging Leonard back into their lineups. Basketball fans will finally get to see […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out for Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He suffered a strained left hip during Sunday's game and won't be able to play here. D.J. Augustin and Markelle Fultz will split up the extra minutes between them. Both players could be worth a look as a […]
