Omari Spellman Remains Sidelined on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Spellman hasn't played since early December, but is targeting a return for Dec. 26, so hopefully he doesn't suffer a setback. Alex Poythress (ankle), Deandre Bembry, and Vince Carter will pick up extra playing time with the Hawks […]

Alex Poythress Will Play on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Alex Poythress (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Poythress hasn't played since the middle of November, so expect the Hawks to bring him back slowly. John Collins (ankle) and Omari Spellman (hip) have both been ruled out for this game. It's unclear how much playing time Poythress will […]

John Collins Ruled Out on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Collins suffered a left ankle sprain on Friday, but was able to play through the issue. The Hawks can afford to be cautious with Collins since they aren't really playing for anything this season. Alex Poythress (ankle), DeAndre' […]

John Wall is Probable on Sunday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Wall did not play in Saturday's contest, but it appears he's on track to return for this contest. Tomas Satoransky would return to the bench and resume his normal role off with the second unit.

Austin Rivers Signs With Rockets

Free agent guard Austin Rivers has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Houston Rockets. Rivers was dealt from Washington to Phoenix in a deal that sent Trevor Ariza to the Suns. Rivers was waived by the Suns and will now join the Rockets to fill in some depth. Chris Paul (hamstring) being sidelined should […]

Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's missed the last three games due to a right hip contusion. Justin Jackson and Ben McLemore have seen more playing time in the absence of Shumpert. Neither of them are worth a look in DFS contests.

Mitchell Robinson Won't Play on Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Robinson has missed the last three games due to a sprained left ankle. Enes Kanter has been making the most of his playing time as the starter. He's worth a look in DFS contests. Luke Kornet will […]

Tyreke Evans is Questionable for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Sunday's contest, but Evans has played in the last two games. It doesn't sound like Evans is 100 percent and he hasn't played well lately. He isn't a reliable DFS option and should be left on the waiver […]

Jabari Parker is Questionable on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Parker missed both Monday's and Wednesday's contests due to an illness. It appears Parker is gaining some interest on the trade block, but the Bulls lack depth at the moment. It'll be interesting to see if the Bulls keep Parker […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Questionable on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed Wednesday's game due to a sore right foot. The King will likely go with a committee approach to fill the void. They don't have much depth with Iman Shumpert (hip) questionable for this one as well.

Jonathon Simmons Won't Play on Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He injured his ankle during Wednesday's game and was unable to return. He was listed as questionable, but Simmons has been officially ruled out for this one. Terrence Ross and Jonathan Isaac should benefit the most from the […]

Jeff Teague Out At Least A Week

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) will be out at least another seven to 10 days, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Teague did not play on Monday or Wednesday due to an ankle issue. He won't play on Friday, so Derrick Rose will continue to draw starts in the absence of Teague. Rose is […]

Marcus Morris Won't Play Friday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Al Horford (knee) and Aron Baynes (hand) will also be sidelined, so the Celtics are shorthanded for this one. Daniel Theis and Robert Williams are going to see all the minutes they can handle in this one.

Julius Randle Expected to Play Against Lakers

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Alvin Gentry. He did not play on Wednesday, but it appears Randle is on track to play in this one. Randle could be playing heavy minutes with Nikola Mirotic (ankle) doubtful and Anthony Davis […]

Serge Ibaka is Questionable on Friday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Wednesday's game due to swelling in his right knee, but hopefully he's able to suit up on Friday. Greg Monroe would draw another start if Ibaka is unable to play. Fantasy owners are going to need to check […]

Jeff Teague Ruled Out on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Tom Thibodeau is likely going to hold Teague out until he's 100 percent ready to return. Derrick Rose will continue drawing starts with Teague sidelined. Tyus Jones should see an increase in playing time as […]

Al Horford Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It appears the Celtics are going to be cautious and give Horford as much time as he needs. Aron Baynes (hand) is going to be sidelined at least a month. Both Daniel Theis and Robert Williams are worth […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable for Friday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like Morris should be good to go and that he sat out on Wednesday as a precaution. The Celtics are banged up, so Morris should see plenty of playing time if he's available.

Brandon Ingram Hopeful to Play on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) said he felt good on Thursday and is hopeful to play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kyle Kuzma has been playing fantastic in the absence of Ingram. His value is going to take a hit once Ingram returns to the rotation. Fantasy owners are going […]

Rodions Kurucs Will Start on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs will draw another start for Allen Crabbe (knee) on Friday versus the Indiana Pacers. Crabbe will miss his fifth straight game, but head coach Kenny Atkinson made it sound like it's not a long-term problem. Kurucs continues to start, so he could be someone worth watching in deep leagues.

Justise Winslow is Questionable for Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. Winslow did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, so he seems doubtful for Thursday. Wayne Ellington and Dwyane Wade should benefit the most if Winslow is out. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game […]

DeAndre Jordan is Questionable for Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jordan did not participate in shootaround on Thursday due to an illness. Dirk Nowitzki and Dwight Powell would be looking at increased playing time with Jordan sidelined. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Likely Going to Miss Road Trip

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is likely going to miss the upcoming three game road trip. Smith hasn't been ruled out, but head coach Rick Carlisle said he "feels it's unlikely that he'll play." Jalen Brunson is most likely going to make another start on Thursday. J.J. Barea should see minutes in the […]

Bobby Portis Expected to Miss Two to Four Weeks

Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (ankle) is expected to miss two to four weeks of action due to a sprained right ankle. Jabari Parker who was recently removed from the rotation is likely going to pick up most of the playing time here. Parker should see minutes in the 20s, but he probably won't help […]

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This will be the second game in a row that Lowry has missed due to a thigh issue. Fred Vanvleet (back) is going to draw the start and see solid minutes with the first unit. Delon Wright […]

Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet Will Play Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam (back) and guard Fred Vanvleet (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Siakam missed one game, but will return for this one. He's going to play heavy minutes with Serge Ibaka (knee) and Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) sidelined. Siakam is a solid target for DFS contests on Wednesday. […]

Greg Monroe Will Start on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors center Greg Monroe will join the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Both Serge Ibaka (knee) and Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) will be sidelined for this contest. Monroe hasn't been great this season, but he'll play big minutes in this one. Chris Boucher should find his way into the rotation as […]

Tim Hardaway Jr., Damyean Dotson Will Play on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) and guard Damyean Dotson (shoulder) will play in Wednesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Hardaway is dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is normally an issue players are able to play through. Courtney Lee should see less minutes with Hardaway returning. Dotson will return to the rotation after […]

Jaylen Brown Will Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Brown is dealing with a bruised hand, but it's not significant enough to keep him sidelined. He's someone worth considering in DFS contests against the struggling Suns.

Mohamed Bamba Expected to Start on Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba is listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Nikola Vucevic (personal) is sitting this one out, so Bamba will earn his first career start. He should be an attractive DFS option for Wednesday's contest.
