Damien Williams is Risky Versus Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams finished with a season-high 30 rushing yards in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. The fact 30 yards is his best running performance of the season is discouraging. Veteran LeSean McCoy seems to get most of the touches over the last few weeks. Williams has only […]

Matt Moore Has Low-End Value in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played fairly well in the Week 8 loss to the Packers, but fantasy owners shouldn't lean on the veteran. He completed 24 of 36 passing attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been practicing and has a chance to suit up versus the […]

D'Angelo Russell is Questionable for Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Warriors are already horrendously thin, so losing Russell would be awful. Jordan Poole, Alec Burks, and Damion Lee would be asked to pick up big minutes if Russell is sidelined. Fantasy owners should check back closer […]

Draymond Green is Out on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's dealing with a finger ligament issue and the team will be cautious since it's a back-to-back set. Eric Paschall should see all the minutes he can handle, while Willie Cauley-Stein will get more run off the […]

Dion Waiters Will Be Available on Sunday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters is going to be available for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jimmy Butler (foot) and Justise Winslow (back) are both listed as questionable for this one. It's unclear if the Heat have any plans to work Waiters into their rotation, but it's hard to imagine him carrying much fantasy […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Wear Splint on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's dealing with a sprained left finger, but will wear a splint on his hand for now. The Knicks have plenty of depth, so Robinson is only averaging around 20 minutes or less per game. However, fantasy owners […]

Tim Frazier Might Sit Out on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Tim Frazier (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Reggie Jackson (back) is going to miss significant time, while Derrick Rose (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday as well. Bruce Brown and Langston Galloway could be looking at big minutes if Frazier and Rose sit out.

Will Barton is Doubtful for Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (foot) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Barton was in a walking boot during shootaround, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect him to suit up. Michael Porter Jr. and Malik Beasley will see increased playing time, assuming Barton misses Saturday's game. It's unclear if this foot […]

Jimmy Butler is Listed as Questionable for Sunday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He recently returned to the team after missing the beginning of the season due to the birth of his child. Butler normally plays through minor issues, so this shouldn't be a problem. Fantasy owners should check back closer […]

Justise Winslow Might Sit Versus Rockets

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Winslow is dealing with lower back stiffness, so it's not something that should sideline him for long. Kendrick Nunn would likely start again if Winslow sits out. Tyler Herro would benefit off the bench as well.

Frank Ntilikina Will Start Once Again

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina will start at point guard for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach David Fizdale. Both Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) have been sidelined lately, which has given Ntilikina a chance to earn more minutes. He's worth holding in most formats because he'll […]

Chandler Hutchison Expected to Play Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (hamstring) plans to suit up for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was recently recalled from the G-League, so we'd expect him to have a role in the Bulls rotation. He was dealing with a Grade-3 hamstring strain, but appears to be over that. Fantasy owners can avoid Hutchison […]

Lauri Markkanen Should Be Fine for Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (side) was able to practice on Saturday and should be fine for Sunday's game. Markkanen only played 25 minutes on Friday and went to the locker room with an unclear left side issue. Thaddeus Young appears to be making a case for more playing time, so that's something to keep […]

Derrick Rose is Questionable Against Nets

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He looked great on Friday versus the Bulls, but apparently tweaked his hamstring. The Pistons are already without Reggie Jackson (back), but will remain cautious with Rose. Tim Frazier and Luke Kennard could be very busy on Saturday.

Reggie Jackson Will Be Sidelined A Month

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been bothered by back soreness since the beginning of the season. After further examination the organization discovered a stress reaction in his lower back. Jackson is expected to miss at least four weeks of action, but it could be longer. Derrick Rose should benefit the most from this, […]

Nerlens Noel Will Start at Center on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (foot) will jump into the starting five and draw the start at center on Saturday. Steven Adams (knee) will miss his second straight contest here. Noel was dealing with a minor foot issue, but is fine to play on Saturday. He'll be a strong DFS option since he'll get […]

Steven Adams Ruled Out on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the second game in a row that Adams has missed due to a knee contusion. It's hopefully not too serious of an issue and he can get out there next game. Nerlens Noel will […]

Derrick Favors Ruled Out for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Favors was listed as doubtful going in and hasn't played since October 28. Jahlil Okafor, Jaxson Hayes, and Nicolo Melli will split up the minutes on Saturday. Okafor is looking like a reliable cheap option for […]

Domantas Sabonis Misses Practice on Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (calf) was unable to suit up for practice on Saturday. Sabonis suffered a left calf contusion during Friday's game, but it appears to be minor. The Pacers desperately need Sabonis to play with Myles Turner (ankle) sidelined right now. Goga Bitadze would see all the minutes he can handle if […]

Zach Collins is Ruled Out for Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's been sidelined since Sunday and continues to deal with a dislocated shoulder. Skal Labissiere, Mario Hezonja and Anthony Tolliver continue to see increased minutes with the Blazers banged up. Labissiere and Hezonja are worth a look […]

Brandon Clarke Might Sit on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies center Brandon Clarke (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Clarke continues to deal with lingering back soreness, but it hasn't slowed him down. He's averaging 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.8 steals this season. He'll likely see more time as the season continues, […]

Derrick Favors is Doubtful for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (hip) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Favors continues to deal with a nagging knee issue, but hopefully he'll be ready by next week. Jahlil Okafor, Jaxson Hayes, and Nicolo Melli should all benefit without Favors on the court. Okafor will likely benefit […]

Jaylen Brown is Ruled Out on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Brown will miss his second straight game due to illness, but hopefully he's healthy and able to play next game. Marcus Smart is expected to start, while Semi Ojeleye will see more minutes as well. Smart could […]

Michael Carter-Williams Won't Play Against Bucks

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Carter-Williams suffered a left hip contusion during Wednesday's game, so he'll sit this one out. Markelle Fultz will soak up the extra guard minutes off the bench. Fultz could be a decent low cost DFS option or streaming […]

T.J. Leaf Will Start Against Cavs

Indiana Pacers forward TJ Leaf will be the starting power forward for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Myles Turner (ankle) could be out the next two weeks, so Leaf should see a lot more playing time. Leaf hasn't done much during his minimal minutes this season, but we'll see if that changes on Friday. […]

Frank Ntilikina Will Start on Friday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina will draw the start at point guard for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Wayne Ellington will head to the second unit, while RJ Barrett takes over as shooting guard. Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) are both sidelined for this one. Ntilikina should see around 25-30 […]

Tacko Fall Recalled by Celtics on Friday

Boston Celtics center Tacko Fall has been recalled by the organization on Friday. The Celtics are banged up with Robert Williams (hip) and Enes Kanter (knee) both unavailable for Friday's game against the Knicks. Daniel Theis and Grant Williams are basically the only big guys left on the roster. Fall is a nice name, but […]

Nerlens Noel is Questionable on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He started at center for Steven Adams (knee) on Wednesday and played very well during his 28 minutes. However, he suffered a foot injury during that contest and was unable to practice on Friday. Adams remains […]

Steven Adams Could Sit on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Adams suffered a knee contusion on Monday and was unable to play on Wednesday. He's been able to go through some work on Thursday and Friday. Nerlens Noel (foot) would be in line to start, but […]

Will Barton Might Sit on Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Barton sat out of Thursday's game versus the Pelicans due to left toe inflammation. Michael Porter Jr. made his NBA debut and scored 15 points in 21 minutes. He'll likely fill the void again if Barton is unable […]
