Wendell Carter Jr. Is Out for Preseason Contest

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Carter has suffered an ankle sprain and now a tailbone injury during camp this season. However, the Bulls expect Carter to be fine for the regular season opener. He'll have solid upside in fantasy leagues […]

Harry Giles Does Not Practice on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) did not suit up for practice on Tuesday. He has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Phoenix Suns. The MRI on Giles' left knee came back clean, but the main focus for the team is getting Giles healthy for the regular season. It does sound like […]

Michael Porter Jr. Expected to Debut on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) is expected to make his team debut in Tuesday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed all of last season due to a back injury. He hasn't played in a basketball game in 19 months, so expect the Nuggets to be careful here. Porter should have […]

Marcus Morris Could Be Suspended

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris was ejected after elbowing Justin Anderson during Monday's preseason contest. Morris was tossed from the game after swinging his elbows at Anderson and then bouncing the ball off his head. There is a chance that Morris gets suspended for his actions. That means, Morris would miss some regular season […]

Kelly Olynyk Won't Suit Up on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's preseason contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Olynyk is dealing with a right knee bone bruise that he suffered in August. He's been limited since then, but the Heat haven't given much of a timetable yet. He could be looking at missing the beginning […]

Enes Kanter Might Come Off The Bench

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter will probably come off the bench, according to head coach Brad Stevens. The Celtics believe that having Kanter play with the second unit will allow him to get into the post more often. Kanter played well off the bench during the preseason opener on Sunday. He should be able to […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Sit in Preseason Opener

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavs aren't going to push Porzingis too hard, but he is expected to play on Wednesday. There is a good chance that Porzingis misses around 15-20 games due to rest. Fantasy owners should keep that in […]

Trey Lyles Will Rest on Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Trey Lyles (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He signed a two-year deal with the Spurs over the summer, but might have a tough time finding regular minutes. LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMarre Carroll, and Rudy Gay will all get looks as well. It might be […]

Gordon Hayward Practiced on Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (elbow) was able to get through Tuesday's practice without any issues. He did wear a sleeve on his left elbow after bruising it during Sunday's preseason contest. The Celtics don't play again until Friday, but Hayward should be fine going forward. He may sit out on Friday, but that's probably […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Unable to Practice on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice. It's highly doubtful that Carter plays in Wednesday's preseason game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The regular season is a few weeks away, so Carter has plenty of time to get healthy. He has a bunch of upside, but he'll […]

Shaquille Harrison Does Not Practice Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison (knee) did not suit up for Tuesday's practice. Harrison has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bulls have plenty of depth in the backcourt, so it'll be tough for Harrison to carve out a role. He has some upside, assuming he gets regular […]

Victor Oladipo Did Some Running on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) was seen doing some running during Tuesday's scrimmage. It appears that Oladipo is making solid progress, so fantasy owners can be hopeful for a return. However, the Pacers have not given a timetable for Oladipo's return yet. He's not expected to be ready until around January or February. He'll […]

Marc Gasol, Kyle Lowry Won't Play on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) and point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb, rest) won't play in Tuesday's preseason contest. Gasol has only participated in roughly half of camp thus far. Lowry has a minor thumb issue, so both these moves are basically just the Raptors resting their veterans. It wouldn't be surprising to see Gasol […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Won't Suit Up for Monday's Contest

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Carter has been dealing with a minor tailbone issue, so he'll take the night off. Cristiano Felicio will draw the start at center, but Daniel Gafford should see some minutes as well. Carter has plenty of upside, so […]

Kris Dunn Gets the Start on Monday

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Dunn has reportedly been great during camp, so the Bulls are expected to give him another chance. Head coach Jim Boylen will likely switch up the lineups during the preseason, but Dunn is expected to […]

J.J. Barea Will Miss First Two Preseason Games

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (Achilles) has been ruled out for the first two preseason games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Mavs are easing him back into action as he was a limited participant in camp. It's unclear if Barea will be ready for the regular season opener. The Mavs have plenty of depth with […]

Kelly Oubre Unlikely to Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Oubre has been dealing with right wrist tendinitis and is doubtful to play on Tuesday, according to head coach Monty Williams. However, Oubre was spotted shooting after practice, but hasn't been cleared for full contact […]

Hassan Whiteside Returns to Practice on Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) was able to return to practice on Monday. Whiteside returned to practice after sitting out most of last week, but it's unclear if he'll play in the preseason game on Tuesday. Zach Collins (finger) is expected to play despite his minor injury. Skal Labissiere may see more minutes […]

Zach Collins is Able to Practice on Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Collins (finger) was a full participant for Monday's practice. Head coach Terry Stotts said that Collins will be available for Tuesday's preseason contest. The finger issue isn't anything serious and the Blazers will be cautious if Collins begins to have problems. He's someone worth looking at in the middle of […]

Jonas Valanciunas Held Out of Monday's Practice

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) was held out of Monday's practice, but fantasy owners shouldn't be too alarmed. Valanciunas played a ton of minutes for the Lithuanian National Team at the FIBA tournament during the summer. The team doesn't believe the foot issue is serious, but the Grizzlies want to be cautious in the […]

Kyle Anderson Practices on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (thigh) was a full participant during Monday's practice. However, Anderson remains questionable for Tuesday's preseason contest versus New Zealand. He missed the first preseason game, but Anderson has gone through multiple full-contact practices now. He's someone worth looking at late in most drafts.

Otto Porter Won't Play After Halftime on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter will get the start in Monday's preseason contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bulls don't want to push Porter too much after he was sidelined late last season due to injuries. He'll play in the first half of this game, but will sit out after halftime. It doesn't appear Porter […]

Darius Garland Will Make Preseason Debut Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (foot) will make his preseason debut on Monday against San Lorenzo of Argentina. Garland was limited in camp earlier due to a foot issue, but seems better now. He's been in full-contact practice and was cleared to play in these exhibition games. There is a chance that the Cavs […]

Justin Anderson Joins the Starting Lineup on Monday

Washington Wizards forward Justin Anderson will get a chance with the starting lineup in Monday's preseason game versus the New York Knicks. He joined the team with a non-guaranteed deal, but has a chance to make the team. C.J. Miles (foot), Troy Brown Jr. (calf) and Admiral Schofield (hamstring) are all sidelined with injuries. Anderson […]

Bobby Portis Sits Out of Preseason Contest

New York Knicks center Bobby Portis (rib) will not suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Washington Wizards. Portis is dealing with a bruised rib, but it doesn't sound like something that will limit him in the regular season. The Knicks are a bit crowded in terms of depth, but Portis should have fantasy […]

Derrick Favors Will Play Despite Hamstring Issue

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (hamstring) will play in Monday's preseason game versus the Atlanta Hawks. Favors missed a few practices and was listed as questionable heading into this one. The Pelicans may decide to limit him, but he should be good to go for Monday. Fantasy owners shouldn't have anything to worry about, […]

Harrison Butker Notches Two Field Goals in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker surprisingly produced most of their points in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Butker knocked down both his field goals and the single extra point in the 19-13 loss. The Chiefs usually have a high powered offense, so Butker produces more fantasy points. Butker did his job […]

Byron Pringle Has Huge 100 Yard Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle was forced into more playing time after Sammy Watkins (hamstring) went down during the first drive. Watkins did not return to action and Pringle made sure to make the most of his extra snaps. Pringle caught six of his nine targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in […]

Demarcus Robinson Was Quiet in Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was held fairly quiet in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Robinson was targeted six times, but was only able to haul in three of them for 31 yards in the loss. This was another case of Robinson seeing a high volume of targets, but not […]

Mecole Hardman Has Bounce Back Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught two passes for nine total yards during the contest last week, but performed much better against the Colts in Week 5. Hardman caught four of his six targets for 79 yards in the 19-13 loss on Sunday. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) left early in the first quarter and […]
