Hamidou Diallo Ruled Out for Game 2

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Diallo is reportedly dealing with right elbow soreness, so he could be sidelined for most of this series. He hasn't seen much playing time lately, so this won't mean too much for fantasy basketball. The […]

Thomas Bryant is Top Priority for Wizards

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant is coming off a breakout season with the Wizards. He averaged 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 61.6 percent from the floor. Re-signing Bryant is going to be a top priority for the Wizards this offseason. He saw his playing time increase once Dwight Howard went down and Bryant […]

DeMarcus Cousins Likely Out for Rest of Playoffs

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (quad) is expected to miss the rest of the postseason, according to Shams Charania. Cousins played just four minutes on Monday before exiting early with what is being diagnosed as a torn left quad. The good news is, Cousins should be fully healed by the beginning of next season. […]

Jay Bruce is Sitting on Monday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians. This appears to just be a normal rest day for Bruce, as the M's want to get their other sluggers in the lineup. Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup, while […]

Clayton Kershaw Activated on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He will make his season debut versus the Cincinnati Reds following a shoulder issue that caused him to miss the beginning of the season. Kershaw will have a pitch count of 90 on Monday, so DFS players […]

Tyler O'Neill Exits Early on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (arm) left Monday's game versus the Milwaukee Brewers after making a throw from center field to home plate. The injury is being called right arm soreness. Hopefully this is a minor issue because O'Neill was hitting fairly well to start the season. Harrison Bader (hamstring) is sidelined as well, […]

Jason Kipnis Activated From Injured List

Cleveland Indians infielder Jason Kipnis (calf) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Kipnis has been sidelined all season due to a strained right calf. He struggled heavily during his rehab assignment, so there's little confidence he'll succeed much on the Indians. He's not going to have an impact in most fantasy […]

Jake Bauers Sitting on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Jake Bauers (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This is not too surprising with lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the mound for Seattle. Carlos Gonzalez will bat third and play left field for the Indians, but he's not going to be much of a fantasy […]

Blake Griffin Could Miss First Round

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is likely going to miss the entire first round of the playoffs, according to Vincent Goodwill. Griffin missed the last game of the regular season and Game 1 versus the Bucks on Sunday. The Pistons are listing Griffin as day-to-day, but it doesn't seem like he's close to being […]

Joel Embiid Will Play in Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Game 2 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Embiid was listed as a game-time call for Monday, but it appears he's healthy enough to give it a go. Jonah Bolden (knee) is active as well, but won't see many minutes with Embiid playing. DFS players can […]

Shaun Livingston is Questionable for Game 2

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (knee) is questionable for Game 2 versus the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. Livingston has been dealing with left knee soreness lately, so the Warriors may elect to rest the veteran guard. Quinn Cook would soak up the extra guard minutes behind Stephen Curry.

Jonah Bolden is Available for Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers center Jonah Bolden (knee) is available for Game 2 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. He was listed as probable earlier due to a left knee issue. Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable, so if Embiid sits then Bolden will see plenty of minutes coming his way. DFS players should stay tuned for updates.

Ed Davis Will Play in Game 2

Brooklyn Nets center Ed Davis (ankle) will play in Monday's Game 2 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Davis scored 12 points with 16 rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Game 1. He also tweaked his ankle, but it doesn't appear to be anything significant. Jared Dudley (calf) has been ruled out, so Rondae Hollis-Jefferson […]

Jared Dudley Ruled Out for Game 2

Brooklyn Nets forward Jared Dudley (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Dudley hasn't been a huge factor this season, but played 28 minutes during Game 1. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Caris Levert, and Treveon Graham should see more minutes coming their way on Monday. Hollis-Jefferson likely has the most upside […]

Paul George is Available for Game 1

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George (shoulder) is available for Sunday's Game 1 contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers. He was listed as questionable due to right shoulder soreness, but it's not going to be enough to sideline George. DFS players should not expect George to be limited, so he'll be a solid option for […]

Ricky Rubio is Probable for Game 1

Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio (quad) is listed as probable for Game 1 versus the Houston Rockets. Raul Neto (ankle) is probable as well after both players were able to go through practice on Saturday. Kyle Korver (knee) remains questionable after only going through part of Saturday's practice. It doesn't sound like Rubio is going […]

Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert Will Play in Game 1

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (abdomen) and Rudy Gobert (ankle) are both available for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Houston Rockets. Both Mitchell and Gobert sat out the regular season finale, but that was likely just a precautionary move. It appears both players are fine and ready to play in Game 1. DFS players should […]

Blake Griffin is Questionable for Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Griffin has been dealing with left knee soreness the last few weeks, so that's not good for the Pistons as they roll into the playoffs. Thon Maker would draw the start if Griffin is unable to play. […]

Ed Davis Suffers Sprained Ankle During Game 1

Brooklyn Nets center Ed Davis (ankle) could be in danger of missing Game 2 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Davis landed awkwardly during Game 1 on Saturday and left to the locker room briefly before returning to the game. He was a great option for the Nets off the bench during Game 1, so having Davis […]

Nikola Mirotic Expected to Play in Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (thumb) is not listed on the injury report for Game 1 versus the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Head coach Mike Budenholzer expects Mirotic to be fully ready for this series after he was able to practice on Friday. The Bucks have a few players that are banged up, so Mirotic […]

Paul George Remains Questionable on Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. George was listed as day-to-day with right shoulder soreness and is in danger of missing Game 1 of this series. Markieff Morris would see more minutes coming his way if George sits out. Fantasy owners will […]

Al Horford Will Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) will play in Game 1 versus the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Horford has been battling a left knee issue lately, but the Celtics have been smart about limiting Horford's playing time. Fantasy owners should feel confident about Horford's health going into the playoffs.

Blake Griffin Could Miss Game 1

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Dwane Casey. Griffin has been battling a knee issue the last few weeks, so there is a chance he sits out during Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Thon Maker would draw the start and see heavy minutes without Griffin.

Paul George is Day-to-Day

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George (shoulder) is reportedly day-to-day and could miss the beginning of their playoff series versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The series begins on Sunday, so there's a chance that George misses the first game. Markieff Morris would see more minutes coming his way if George sits out. More information on […]

Stephen Curry is Expected to Play in Game 1

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (foot) was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's Game 1 matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry did not play in Wednesday's contest, but that was likely just a precaution after the ankle tweak on Tuesday. DFS players should feel fine with […]

Ricky Rubio is Uncertain for Sunday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (quad) was able to go through part of Friday's practice, but it's uncertain if he'll be able to play in Game 1 versus the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The Jazz have been cautious with Rubio down the stretch of the season, so it's unclear how significant his current quad […]

Jayson Tatum Will Play in Game 1

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (shin) reportedly looked fine during Saturday's practice and will play in Sunday's Game 1 matchup versus the Indiana Pacers. Tatum did miss the last game of the regular season, but that was likely precautionary. Tatum has played well versus the Pacers in the past. DFS players should take a chance […]

Wesley Matthews Will Play on Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Wesley Matthews (toe) is available for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. Matthews is dealing with a sore right toe, but is healthy enough to suit up for this contest, according to head coach Nate McMillan. However, Matthews probably won't see enough minutes to warrant using in DFS contests. Tyreke […]

Jonah Bolden is Questionable for Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Jonah Bolden (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 1 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. He was able to get in some work during practice on Friday, but it remains unknown if he's healthy enough to play in this contest. Joel Embiid (knee) is a game-time decision, so Greg Monroe and […]

Joel Embiid is Uncertain for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid reportedly warmed up with a brace on his knee, but it's unclear if he'll play in Game 1 of this series. Boban Marjanovic and Greg Monroe would likely soak up a majority of the minutes at center […]
