Elfrid Payton Remains Sidelined on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the seventh game in a row that Payton has missed due to a right ankle sprain. Frank Jackson and Tim Frazier will continue to split up the minutes until Payton returns. There is a good […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This will be the third game that Osman has missed in a row after suffering an ankle injury last Saturday. The Cavs are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void. There is no clear winner […]

Jahlil Okafor is Questionable for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Okafor was forced to sit out of Friday's game due to a left ankle sprain. He's averaging 18.2 points, 9.8 rebounds in 30.9 minutes over the last nine games. Anthony Davis is expected to be rested on […]

E'Twaun Moore is Probable on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (quad) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's missed the last six games due to a quad issue, but is expected to suit up for this contest. Kenrich Williams will see his playing time and value take a hit with Moore back in the […]

Rudy Gay Ruled Out on Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gay rolled his ankle during Thursday's contest, but it didn't appear to be anything too significant. The Spurs are likely just being cautious here and letting Gay rest. Davis Bertans and Marco Belinelli will soak up the […]

Zach LaVine is Probable Against Nets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) was unable to practice on Thursday and is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Jim Boylen said he was concerned about LaVine's ankle, so that is not a good sign. The Bulls may elect to take the cautious approach here, but fantasy owners […]

Devin Booker Upgraded to Questionable on Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Booker was previously listed as out, but now is being listed as questionable for this one. Booker is dealing with right hamstring tightness, so the Suns may elect to be cautious here. Fantasy owners will need to […]

Luka Doncic is Questionable for Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (thigh) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Doncic is dealing with a right thigh contusion, but is also coming off his third triple-double of the season. He should see more chances with the ball after the moves the Mavs made at the deadline. He's most […]

T.J. Warren Won't Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is not a surprising move as head coach Igor Kokoskov said in late January that they would shut down Warren for a few weeks. There's a good chance that Warren is done until after the All-Star […]

Kevin Love Might Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (foot) is headed towards a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to head coach Larry Drew. It's unclear whether or not Love will have a minutes limit on Friday. His return would mean less minutes for Ante Zizic and Larry Nance. Fantasy owners should stay tuned […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable Against Denver

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Embiid has battled an illness and back soreness lately, but has continued to play through the issues. Boban Marjanovic is available on Friday along with Jonah Bolden and Amir Johnson. Embiid is most likely going to play, but […]

Damyean Dotson Will Start on Friday

New York Knicks guard Damyean Dotson will draw the start at shooting guard on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, according to Mark Berman. Newly acquired Wesley Matthews was starting for the Knicks, but he was waived by the team. Dotson is averaging 10.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.4 minutes as a starter […]

Nikola Mirotic is Likely Out on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (calf) is not expected to play in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer. Mirotic has been dealing with a strained calf that has sidelined him since late January. It's safe to assume that Mirotic will miss the back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. However, […]

Luke Kennard Expected to Start on Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard is expected to draw the start against the New York Knicks on Friday. The Pistons traded away Reggie Bullock, so ideally that will open up more playing time for Kennard. He's averaging 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.8 minutes as a starter this season. He's not worth […]

Jonathon Simmons Won't Play Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (abdominal) won't play in Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is not surprising news as Simmons has been sidelined since late December. He was acquired in a deal that sent guard Markelle Fultz to Orlando on Thursday. Simmons will play a role off the Sixers bench when healthy, but […]

Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, Mike Scott Available Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forwards/centers Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and Mike Scott are all available for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. All three players were acquired from the Clippers in a trade on Wednesday. Marjanovic and Scott are not expected to have much fantasy value at all. Harris should lose value because he'll be sharing the […]

Jahlil Okafor is Questionable for Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It appears Okafor is dealing with a left ankle sprain, so the team may decide to rest him, so the injury doesn't get worse. Okafor has been playing fantastic with Anthony Davis out, but Davis is expected to return, […]

Harrison Barnes, Alec Burks, Corey Brewer Available Friday

Sacramento Kings guards/forwards Harrison Barnes, Alec Burks, and Corey Brewer will be available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Barnes is likely going to be the biggest addition out of the trio. However, the Kings are crowded with depth, so Barnes will fight for minutes with Marvin Bagley, Nemanja Bjelica and Harry Giles. It […]

Jerryd Bayless is Questionable on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jerryd Bayless (toe) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Bayless injured his right big toe during the fourth quarter of Thursday's game versus the Magic. The Wolves are banged up at the guard position, so Isaiah Canaan could end up drawing the start and playing heavy […]

Jeff Teague is Questionable on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out and Jerryd Bayless (toe) is questionable for this one. Isaiah Canaan would see heavy minutes if Teague and Bayless sit out. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rose has now missed three straight games and six of the last seven contests. Jeff Teague (foot) and Jerryd Bayless (toe) are both questionable, so Isaiah Canaan could end up drawing the start. He'd be a popular […]

LeBron James Will Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) will play in Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as probable on the injury report, but that was likely just a precautionary move. He should be asked to do most of the heavy lifting on offense, especially after the moves on Thursday. The Lakers will […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (back) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Gallinari has been out the last 10 days, but returns with a bigger role on the team. Tobias Harris has been traded, so Gallinari will be asked to do more on offense. He needs to be […]

Jeff Teague is Upgraded to Questionable

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Teague has been upgraded to questionable, but there is no guarantee he'll be out there. Tyus Jones (ankle) and Derrick Rose (ankle) are already ruled out. Jerryd Bayless is looking like he's going to see big minutes on […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rose has missed five of the last games due to a right ankle issue. Jerryd Bayless should see heavy minutes with Tyus Jones (ankle) also sidelined and Jeff Teague (foot) questionable for this one.

Mohamed Bamba is Without A Timetable

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) underwent a surgery to correct a stress fracture in his left tibia. There is a high possibility that Bamba is done for the season. Khem Birch will pick up most of the backup center minutes going forward and could be worth a look in deep leagues.

Caris LeVert is Available on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It sounds like LeVert is ready to play after going through two practices this week. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Nets ease him back into action. LeVert hasn't played since November, so they probably won't push it. DeMarre […]

Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart Available on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (hip) and guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Kuzma continues to battle a hip issue, so the Lakers will keep a close eye on that going forward. The Lakers may limit his playing time if the hip issue continues to bother […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be the second game in a row that Osman has missed due to an ankle issue. The Cavs will likely use a committee approach to fill the void going forward. Osman should be considered questionable for […]

Marcin Gortat Waived by Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers center Marcin Gortat has been waived by the Clippers and will become a free agent. The Clippers traded Boban Marjanovic and moved recently acquired Mike Muscala as well. Montrezl Harrell will see plenty of minutes at center along with Johnathan Motley helping out off the bench. Ivica Zubac should get playing time […]
