Danuel House is Doubtful for Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's looking like Friday is going to be the second straight game that House misses. Ben McLemore may start again, while Austin Rivers gets more minutes off the bench. Both could be worth a look in deep leagues while the […]

Nicolas Batum is Not Expected to Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (finger) is not expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He fractured his middle finger on October 24 and hasn't played since then. Batum was expected to miss three to four weeks of action because of the injury. He's currently in the third week, but is […]

Patrick Beverley Ruled Out Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will be cautious here. It's just a sore calf, so Beverley is expected to only miss one game. Lou Williams should see a boost in […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will sit out against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will rest Leonard. Paul George (shoulder) is making his season debut, so he'll be asked to carry the load on offense without Leonard available.

Paul George Expected to Make Season Debut Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) is expected to make his regular season debut against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. George has been out for the first few weeks of the season while rehabbing his shoulder injury. Kawhi Leonard (rest) won't suit up for Thursday's contest. George could be on a minutes limit, […]

Dwayne Bacon is Probable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Dwayne Bacon (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Bacon didn't play on Wednesday and was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. However, the team believes the knee issue is minor and Bacon should be fine going forward. Bacon could end up coming off the bench, […]

Kevin Huerter is Out Indefinitely

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury. Head coach Lloyd Pierce said "it's going to take some time" for Huerter to get back on the court. The MRI didn't reveal a tear, but the Hawks will remain cautious. Cam Reddish and Deandre Bembry will get boosted […]

Kyrie Irving is Probable for Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, the Nets might play it safe, so fantasy owners shouldn't plug him in just yet. Spencer Dinwiddie would be looking at heavy minutes without Irving and be a popular DFS option. More information should be known about […]

Robert Williams, Daniel Theis Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics centers Robert Williams (ankle) and Daniel Theis (finger) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Both players are dealing with lingering injuries, so they will sit out. Enes Kanter will see all the minutes he can handle and should be a reliable DFS option. Grant Williams and Vincent Poirier […]

Dwayne Bacon is Doubtful for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Dwayne Bacon (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bacon tweaked his right knee on Sunday and it swelled up on him. The Hornets are likely going to be cautious here and let Bacon rest on Wednesday. PJ Washington should get all the minutes he can handle, […]

Brandon Ingram Could Play on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) has been listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ingram hyperextended his right knee during Saturday's game. He sat out on Monday because of it and is still clearly feeling the pain. Ingram was wearing a knee brace during Wednesday's practice, so […]

Anthony Davis Ruled Out on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (shoulder, ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Davis has been dealing with a nagging shoulder issue all season, but suffered a ribs injury on Tuesday. The Lakers don't really need him against the banged up Warriors. Kyle Kuzma is expected to move […]

Joel Embiid Will Rest on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's the first back-to-back set of the season for the Sixers and Embiid is sitting out. Let the headaches begin for fantasy owners. Furkan Korkmaz or Matisse Thybulle should draw the start on Wednesday. Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, […]

Lonzo Ball Remains Out on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the third game in a row that Ball has missed due to a groin issue. Josh Hart and Kenrich Williams will see more playing time, while Jrue Holiday will be asked to do more […]

Justise Winslow, Derrick Jones Ruled Out for Thursday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) and forward Derrick Jones (hip) will not travel with the team to Cleveland for Thursday's game against the Cavs. Winslow is dealing with a concussion and will have to pass the league's protocol before playing. Jones will miss his third game in a row due to a hip issue. […]

Tyler Herro is Questionable Against Cavs

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Tuesday's game due to an ankle issue and could very well sit out again. Goran Dragic (illness) is questionable as well, so Kendrick Nunn could be looking at big minutes. He'd be a strong fantasy option […]

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 […]
