Mitchell Robinson is Coming Off the Bench Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will come off the bench with the second unit in Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Robinson got into foul trouble last game, so the Knicks will give Bobby Portis a chance with the starting five. Robinson should be locked as the starting center, but the Knicks probably […]

Terry Rozier Won't Play Against Pistons

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with a left knee issue, but most likely is just a precautionary move. Devonte Graham and Dwayne Bacon should see more minutes without Rozier. He should be fine for the regular season and is worth targeting in […]

Jalen Brunson Might Not Play Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He wasn't able to play in Monday's contest, so the Mavs might be just playing it safe here. There is a good chance that he doesn't play on Thursday, but should be fine for the regular […]

Luke Kennard, Derrick Rose Out on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guards Luke Kennard (rest) and Derrick Rose (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. This appears to be a normal rest game for them so the bench players can get some extra minutes. Both players should have late round value in fantasy leagues. However, the injury history […]

Blake Griffin Could Sit for Rest of Preseason

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) won't suit up for Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Griffin is dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but doesn't believe it will cost him time in the regular season.

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris (illness) will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Morris has been dealing with bronchitis, but appears to be over it now.

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. He missed the last two preseason contests due to a lower back strain.

Nikola Vucevic, Terrence Ross Scrimmage on Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) and guard Terrence Ross (ankle) were able to go through a team scrimmage on Tuesday. Both players missed Sunday's preseason contest due to minor ankle injuries. The fact they were able to get through the scrimmage means they should be fine in a few days. Vucevic and Ross should […]

Evan Fournier Played in Tuesday's Scrimmage

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) was able to participate in some of Tuesday's scrimmage. Fournier admitted that he was very sore after going through the scrimmage on Tuesday. There is a good chance that the Magic have Fournier sit out for the rest of the preseason. He'll have late round value in most standard […]

Blake Griffin is Dealing with Hamstring Issues

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of the preseason. However, Looney wants to be ready to play in the regular season opener on October 24.

Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin Out on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (rest) and forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) will not suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Jordan Bell Will Make Preseason Debut Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jordan Bell (calf) will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Indiana Pacers. Bell has been dealing with a left calf issue, but the Wolves should be able to get him into the game on Tuesday. However, Bell is going to have limited value even when healthy. He's worth looking at […]

De'Aaron Fox Won't Play in Wednesday's Exhibition

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) won't play in Wednesday's exhibition versus the Melbourne United. Fox said his back was a little tight, so the team will hold him out of this meaningless game. However, Fox is expected to be fine for the regular season opener. He has great upside and makes for an […]

Devin Booker Will Play in Preseason Contest Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets. Booker sat out the last two preseason games due to rest, but he'll get in some minutes here. It's unclear how much Booker is going to play in this one. He'll have great upside in fantasy leagues, but may […]

Grayson Allen Will Start in Monday's Contest

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Dillon Brooks normally starts, but head coach Taylor Jenkins is making a switch here. Allen has played well as the sixth man in the preseason, but we'll see how he plays in the starting five. Fantasy […]

Daniel Theis Could Begin the Season as Starter

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis may begin the regular season as the starting center in Boston. Head coach Brad Stevens is not ready to commit to a starting center just yet.

Otherwise, […]

Evan Turner Should Be Available on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Evan Turner (Achilles) is expected to play during Monday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He's been dealing with left Achilles pain that has cost him most of the preseason. Turner should see decent backup minutes at guard and forward this season off the bench.

Frank Ntilikina Doesn't Practice on Monday

New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) did not suit up for Monday's practice. Ntilikina missed 31 of the final 33 games of the regular season last year because of a groin issue. He's battling Dennis Smith Jr. and Elfrid Payton for guard minutes, so he can't afford to miss time. Most likely this […]

Anthony Davis Should Be Fine Soon

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (thumb) had his MRI come back clean on Monday, so that's great news for fantasy owners and the organization. Davis is dealing with a Grade 1 thumb sprain, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out the rest of the preseason. He has been ruled out of […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Expected to Suit Up Monday

Utah Jazz guard Emmanuel Mudiay (thigh) will be available for Monday's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings. This will be Mudiay's preseason debut after missing some time due to a thigh issue.
