He won't play in Thursday's game, but that is just the Hawks being cautious with their young star. He's going to be […]

Rodney McGruder is Expected to Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is expected to be available to make his season debut on Wednesday. The Clippers could use the depth with Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting this one out versus Utah. It's unlikely McGruder plays heavy minutes, but having him out there would be huge. Maurice Harkless is expected to start […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Jazz

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) is not going to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The load management is already starting just four games into the season. The Clippers play a back-to-back set so that's probably why Leonard is sitting out here. Maurice Harkless and Rodney McGruder (ankle) will be […]

Otto Porter is Available Against Cavs

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) is active and available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Porter was hit in the mouth on Saturday and required stitches after the game. He appears to be fine to play, but hasn't done much on the court this season. Porter will be out there, but DFS players […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Will Make Season Debut on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) will make his team debut against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. He's been scrimmaging with the G-League team over the last week. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cauley-Stein limited in his first game back, but it'll be a boost nonetheless. Kevon Looney (hamstring) remains sidelined, so Cauley-Stein […]

Kyle Kuzma is Practicing With G-League

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) is practicing with the Lakers' G-League team on Wednesday. Kuzma is expected to return to the Lakers for another practice on Thursday. There is a chance that Kuzma suits up for the team on Friday, but that depends on how he feels after Thursday. He should be owned […]

Jrue Holiday Should Play on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holiday has been banged up since the first game of the season last week. He was able to practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign moving forward. Fantasy owners can be hopeful that they get Holiday […]

Derrick Favors Listed as Doubtful for Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He did not practice on Wednesday, which makes it difficult to see him suiting up on Thursday. Jaxson Hayes, Jahlil Okafor and Nicolo Melli should all see extra minutes without Favors. Hayes might have the most upside […]

Jaylen Brown is Sitting Out Against Bucks

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) is not suiting up for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's dealing with an illness, so he shouldn't be sidelined for long. Semi Ojeleye is expected to jump into the starting five, while Marcus Smart and Carsen Edwards will see more minutes off the bench. None of these […]

Kelly Olynyk Will Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (quad) is available for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as probable earlier in the day due to a left quad contusion, but is active for this one. He's been playing well through the first three games of the season and should be owned in deep leagues.

Reggie Jackson is Doubtful for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Jackson has been dealing with back soreness since the beginning of the season last week. However, Derrick Rose and Luke Kennard have been able to keep things productive at the guard position.

Dwight Powell is Probable for Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Powell is expected to make his season debut after missing the first week due to hamstring issues. Dorian Finney-Smith should move back to the bench and will see less playing time, assuming Powell suits up. Maximilian Kleber will […]

Jeremy Lamb Returns to Practice on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) was a full participant for Tuesday's practice. Lamb is expected to be cleared for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's missed the last two games after suffered a hip injury in the season opener. Edmond Sumner would shift back to the second unit, assuming Lamb is ready to […]

Steven Adams Hurts Knee on Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) left Monday's game in the fourth quarter and did not return. He suffered a left knee contusion, but downplayed the injury after the game.

Jimmy Butler Plans to Start on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) is back and available for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child.

Enes Kanter Won't Play Against Bucks

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Daniel Theis (ankle) is listed as […]

Daniel Theis is Listed as Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Theis was able to get through most of practice on Tuesday, so that is a good sign. He would see a boost in playing time with Enes Kanter (knee) already ruled out. Otherwise Robert Williams would see heavy […]

Evan Turner is Doubtful for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Evan Turner (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. He was dealing with a left ankle sprain, but now he has Achilles issues. The Hawks are likely going to play it safe here with their veteran guard. Deandre Bembry should be asked to pick up some extra […]

Jrue Holiday Was Able to Practice on Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) was able to suit up for practice on Tuesday. Head coach Alvin Gentry said that Holiday would be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets. Holiday injured his knee during Friday's game and has missed the last two contests. He's back in practice so that is […]

Derrick Favors is Out of Practice Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) was not able to suit up for practice on Tuesday. He's dealing with right knee soreness, which makes him questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets. Jahlil Okafor and Jaxson Hayes will split up the minutes if Favors is not able to play on Thursday. More information should […]

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with a death in the family and didn't travel with the team.

Payton is dealing with a strained right hamstring, but is traveling with the team for their road trip. There is a chance that he plays in Friday's game against the Celtics.

Kyle Kuzma Could Return During Road Trip

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) has a possibility of returning during the upcoming three game road trip, according to head coach Frank Vogel. Kuzma has not played this season and is obviously ruled out for Tuesday's contest. He'll likely be limited and eased back into action when he does return. He's someone worth […]

Willie Cauley-Stein is Scrimmaging with G-League

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) has been scrimmaging with the organization's G-League team. The Warriors are hopeful to get Cauley-Stein back during their four game homestand. They could certainly use him with Kevon Looney (hamstring) sidelined and Marquese Chriss playing below average. Cauley-Stein could be a useful deep league guy once he's healthy.

Reggie Jackson Ruled Out Against Pacers

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson has been dealing with lingering back soreness since the beginning of the season. He'll sit this one out, which means Tim Frazier is expected to draw another start. Derrick Rose will be asked to play heavy minutes […]

Kent Bazemore Could See Increased Role

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Kent Bazemore said he's fine with whatever role he's given. He just wants to go out there and impact the game however he can. Bazemore has been reliable on defense to begin the season, but hasn't done much on offense. Zach Collins (shoulder) could be looking at missing some games, so […]

Kawhi Leonard Shouldn't Be Limited

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will likely play in the 30-35 minute range, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers don't want to limit Leonard, but they know that playing him 35 minutes or more each game is a lot. It is likely going to depend on how the game is going, but […]

Zach Collins Has Been Ruled Out for Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team is waiting for the MRI results before they know more information about the injury. Head coach Terry Stotts has a decent amount of depth to work with so they probably won't rush Collins back. […]

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will be in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child.
