Justise Winslow is Expected to Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Winslow played on Wednesday, but finished with just nine points. However, Winslow was on fire before that contest, so hopefully he can stay hot. He'll be someone worth looking at as a cheap option in DFS contests.

Tyler Johnson is Probable on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Johnson drew the start for Goran Dragic (knee) on Wednesday, but scored just three points. Dragic won't play on Friday, so Johnson is in line for another start. However, Johnson has not been consistent, so he should be […]

Kawhi Leonard is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Leonard participated in Friday's shootaround, but remains questionable with a bruised right hip. He's missed two straight games and looks like he could sit out a third contest. Fred Vanvleet has started when Leonard is sidelined and played fairly […]

Maximilian Kleber is Questionable for Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He played 17 minutes on Wednesday, so it doesn't sound like the injury is too serious. However, the Mavs want to be cautious because of the fact it's a back-to-back set. Dirk Nowitzki is expected to play on Thursday, so […]

Trevor Ariza is Expected to Start on Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Trevor Ariza (personal) is expected to start in Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ariza sat out of Tuesday's game, but head coach Igor Kokoskov said it was a precautionary move. It sounds like Ariza will be fine for Thursday's contest.

Jonas Valanciunas Expected to Miss Weeks

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) has been diagnosed with a dislocated thumb and is expected to miss multiple weeks. There is no timetable for Valanciunas at the moment, but that should be available soon. Serge Ibaka and Greg Monroe will be asked to do more without Valanciunas available. Chris Boucher has been called up, […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Could Return on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) could return for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He sat out on Wednesday, but it sounds like Smith is getting close to a return. Jalen Brunson will return to the bench once Smith is healthy enough to play. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Returns to Practice on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) did not play in Wednesday's game due to personal reasons. However, MKG is back at practice on Thursday and expected to play in Friday's game against the Knicks. MKG doesn't have much fantasy value right now besides in deeper leagues.

Kyle O'Quinn is Questionable for Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Kyle O'Quinn (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pacers normally don't use O'Quinn when everyone is healthy, so it's unlikely this changes too much. Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis could see a few more minutes if O'Quinn sits out.

Yogi Ferrell Will See Increased Playing Time

Sacramento Kings guard Yogi Ferrell is expected to see increased playing time, according to head coach Dave Joerger. Ferrell was impressive on Wednesday, he dropped 17 points in 16 minutes off the bench. It's unclear how much more playing time Ferrell will receive, but it's unlikely he sees minutes in the mid-20s. The most likely […]

Allonzo Trier Signs Two-Year Deal With Knicks

New York Knicks guard/forward Allonzo Trier (hamstring) has reportedly signed a two-year deal with the Knicks. Trier's two-way deal was expiring, so the Knicks had to make a decision on his contract. He's averaging 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists this season, so he's not exactly a great fantasy option. Trier could be someone worth […]

DeMarcus Cousins Might Not Play Until January

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) might not make his season debut until January or February, according to Greg Papa. "The feeling that I got from being around it last night, DeMarcus is not nearly as close as we think he is," said Papa. The Warriors have not given a timetable for Cousins and […]

Travis Kelce is Elite TE1 for Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caught four touchdowns over the last three games. He should continue to succeed versus the Chargers in Week 15. Kelce was held in check versus the Chargers in Week 1. They kept Kelce to just one catch for six yards, but that isn't going to happen again. […]

Chris Conley Should Rebound Versus Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has seen his fantasy value increase over the last month due to Sammy Watkins (foot) being sidelined. Sadly, Conley only caught two passes for 13 yards last week, but he should rebound against the Chargers on Thursday. The Chiefs basically have no running game with Spencer Ware (hamstring, […]

Tyreek Hill is A Safe WR1 for Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel, wrist) will play in Thursday's game against the Chargers, according to Adam Schefter. Hill finished with eight receptions for 139 yards in the victory over the Ravens last week. Hill has WR1 value despite playing banged up and on a short week. The Chiefs don't have much […]

Damien Williams Has Fantasy Value in Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams is expected to be the lead back for Thursday's game against the Chargers. Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) is doubtful for this contest and most likely is going to sit this one out. The Chiefs will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, but Williams is the […]

Spencer Ware Unlikely to Play on Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) was listed as doubtful on Wednesday and his chances of suiting up for Thursday's game versus the Chargers is unlikely. Ware has played well as the lead back and the Chiefs don't want to risk an injury heading into playoff time. Assuming Ware sits, the Chiefs […]

Patrick Mahomes Looks to Continue Touchdown Streak

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown multiple touchdowns in eight straight games. Both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are a little banged up, but Mahomes will still obviously have QB1 value. Mahomes has a matchup against the Chargers defense that has allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, according to […]

Andre Iguodala Won't Play on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This will be the second straight game that Iguodala has been sidelined. Alfonzo McKinnie should see an increase in playing time, but probably not enough worth using him in DFS contests.

Mike Conley is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger and Conley does have a history with injuries. The Grizzlies may decide to let Conley have the night off to rest. Shelvin Mack would be in line to draw the start […]

Lou Williams Expected to Miss Two Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is expected to miss roughly two weeks of action, according to head coach Doc Rivers. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Williams could be sidelined longer than two weeks. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrone Wallace, and Milos Teodosic will all see increased playing time with Williams sidelined. SGA […]

Gordon Hayward Ruled Out on Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Hayward didn't join the Celtics on this trip to Washington, so clearly the illness is serious. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will both benefit from the loss of Hayward.

Kyrie Irving Will Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is "okay" and will play in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to Jay King. He sat out on Monday, but isn't on the injury report for Wednesday. Terry Rozier would head back to the second unit and lose value and playing time with Irving returning.

Kevin Knox Could Start on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox could draw the start against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Knox dropped 26 points with 15 rebounds in 41 minutes on Sunday. Mario Hezonja would head to the bench if Knox is given the start for Wednesday's contest. Knox has been inconsistent, but he's hot right now and could […]

Stanley Johnson Could Play on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last three games, but there is a good chance that Johnson is able to return on Wednesday. Johnson should be able to get fairly solid playing time with the Pistons banged up. However, it's difficult […]

Reggie Bullock Upgraded to Questionable

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. That is a good sign that possibly Bullock might be able to get on the court. Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard would benefit the most if Bullock remains out.

Aron Baynes Could Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) could play during Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. However, it sounds like if Baynes does play that it would only be limited minutes. He remains questionable on Wednesday after missing the last two games due to an ankle issue. Al Horford (knee) will be watching from the sideline […]

Tyler Johnson is Available on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Johnson missed one game due to a hip issue, but appears fine to play on Wednesday. Goran Dragic (knee) is sidelined, so that means more playing time for Johnson. He's someone worth considering in DFS contests, assuming he draws the […]

Hassan Whiteside Won't Play on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) will miss his fourth straight game on Wednesday due to the birth of his child. However, he is expected to return either Friday or Sunday, so that's good news for fantasy owners. Bam Adebayo will draw the start at center, while Kelly Olynyk gets more playing time with the […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Dragic just returned from an eight game absence, but apparently he's not ready yet. He'll sit out on Wednesday due to a sore right knee, but hopefully he can return soon. Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington will pick […]
