Mohamed Bamba is Questionable for Sunday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Head coach Steve Clifford said that Bamba caught an illness after Friday's contest. Khem Birch would see the main backup minutes at center without Bamba available. However, that isn't going to be enough playing time to warrant using him in […]

Chris Paul is Questionable for Sunday

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. It appears that Paul is getting very close to returning from his left hamstring strain. The Rockets are going to be careful and if Paul isn't 100 percent then he's likely going to sit. […]

Lauri Markkanen is Questionable for Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Markkanen has played in 26 straight games since returning from this elbow injury. Chandler Hutchison (toe) and Zach LaVine (ankle) are questionable for this contest. The Bulls could be very shorthanded for this game, which would mean Bobby […]

Zach LaVine is Questionable for Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the same ankle that LaVine sprained earlier in the season, so the Bulls are going to be cautious. Chandler Hutchison (toe) is questionable for Sunday as well, so the Bulls could be shorthanded in this one. Antonio Blakeney, […]

Josh Hart Will Play on Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was unable to go through contact at practice on Saturday, but will still play on Sunday. Hart should see more minutes coming his way with LeBron James (groin) out and Kyle Kuzma (hip) questionable for this […]

Kyle Kuzma is Questionable on Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (hip) was unable to practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Kuzma has been dealing with a hip strain for a week or so, but has been able to play through it. The Lakers may decide to rest Kuzma, but fantasy owners […]

De'Anthony Melton Ruled Out for Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard De'Anthony Melton (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Melton was seen in a walking boot on Friday, so he's likely going to miss multiple games. Elie Okobo played 31 minutes on Friday and should continue to see similar playing time with Melton sidelined. However, Okobo […]

Deandre Ayton is Questionable for Sunday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ayton injured his ankle last Saturday and has missed the last four games because of it.

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (thumb) will have surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right thumb, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Dinwiddie saw two specialists and both recommended surgery. He's expected to miss three to six weeks of action, so he won't be back until maybe some point in late February. Shabazz Napier is going […]

Jimmy Butler Won't Play on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, he is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers, according to Chris Haynes. Corey Brewer and Landry Shamet will see increased playing time with Butler sidelined.

Omri Casspi is Doubtful for Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Garrett Temple (shoulder) has already been ruled out, so the Grizzlies are going to be shorthanded at the wing. Justin Holiday, Shelvin Mack, and Bruno Caboclo will see plenty of playing time on Saturday. Holiday is the best fantasy option […]

Garrett Temple Won't Play on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Garrett Temple (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Temple suffered a left shoulder sprain during Friday's contest. Justin Holiday and Bruno Caboclo will likely be forced into heavy minutes on Saturday. Holiday is worth looking at in DFS contests.

Damian Lillard Will Rest on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (rest) will not play in Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, according to Chris Haynes. Lillard has played in every game this season, but it looks like he'll get the night off against the struggling Hawks. Evan Turner and Seth Curry should gain playing time, while C.J. McCollum runs […]

Jamal Murray is Questionable for Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Murray suffered a left ankle sprain on Friday and was unable to return to the contest.

Chandler is out with left hamstring tightness, something he's dealt with once this season already. Joel Embiid (rest) will be sidelined as well. Jimmy Butler (wrist) is doubtful, so Furkan Korkmaz, Mike Muscala and Jonah Bolden are expected […]

Joel Embiid Won't Play on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) will not play in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Sixers are calling it "rest", but Embiid has been dealing with back tightness lately, and that's likely played a role in it. Mike Muscala, Amir Johnson, and Jonah Bolden will split up the minutes in his absence.

Jimmy Butler is Doubtful for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) is going to see a specialist in Los Angeles, according to Shams Charania. It sounds like Butler will be with the team in Denver, but it's unlikely he suits up for the contest. Corey Brewer and Landry Shamet and will see increased playing time without Butler in the rotation. […]

Jabari Parker Expects to Play on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker (knee) was able to practice on Thursday and is listed as probable to play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) will be sidelined for awhile, so Parker should see his minutes increase. However, head coach Jim Boylen doesn't utilize Parker much in his rotations. […]

Garrett Temple is Probable for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Garrett Temple (heel) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Temple is dealing with right heel soreness, but was able to play almost 40 minutes on Wednesday with the issue. It sounds like Temple is going to be able to play on Friday, but he won't be much […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Could Miss Over A Month

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (thumb) suffered torn ligaments in his right thumb and is considering having surgery. Originally, Dinwiddie was expected to miss roughly four to six weeks. Joe Harris and Shabazz Napier will see increased playing time in the absence of Dinwiddie. Both players should be fairly solid fantasy options on the banged […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is Questionable on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He left Wednesday's game early with a left shoulder strain. Head coach Kenny Atkinson hinted that the injury was minor, so hopefully it won't sideline RHJ for too long. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game […]

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out for Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Gallinari continues to deal with lower back spasms and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to the court. Patrick Beverley has been benefiting from the loss of Gallinari. He will continue to log in heavy […]

Larry Nance Jr. is Probable for Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Nance went down with a right knee sprain and was expected to miss 2-4 weeks of action. It appears Nance is ready to return right in the middle of that window. Tristan Thompson (foot) has been ruled […]

Ish Smith is Doubtful for Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is the second groin issue that Smith has dealt with this season, so the Pistons might want to remain cautious and hold him out. It appears the Pistons are going with a committee approach to fill the […]

De'Aaron Fox, Nemanja Bjelica Will Play on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (toe) and forward Nemanja Bjelica (back) will be available for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

It appears that the Cavs are going to be cautious with Thompson and bring him along slowly. Larry Nance Jr. and Ante […]

Isaiah Briscoe Ruled Out for Friday

Orlando Magic guard Isaiah Briscoe (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Briscoe suffered a sprained right ankle during Wednesday's contest and was unable to return to that contest. Jerian Grant saw 19 minutes as the backup point guard to D.J. Augustin. That should be a similar plan with Briscoe […]

Dion Waiters Uncertain for Friday

Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (head) did not participate in shootaround and is uncertain for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Waiters is dealing with a migraine, so this is something that should only sideline him for one game maximum. Dwyane Wade, Tyler Johnson and Rodney McGruder would see increased playing time if Waiters is […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out for Friday

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. It sounds like if it was a playoff game Paul would be out there. The Rockets want to get Paul as close to 100 percent as they can before letting him return to […]

Larry Nance Jr. Hopeful to Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) was able to fully practice on Thursday and is hopeful to able to play on Friday versus the Miami Heat.
