Iman Shumpert Won't Play Next Two Games

Houston Rockets guard/forward Iman Shumpert (knee) has been ruled out the next two games. Shumpert is dealing with right knee soreness, so he won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Austin Rivers and Gerald Green should see increased minutes until Shumpert gets back on the court.

Mike Muscala is Probable for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Mike Muscala (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was available for the last game before the All-Star break, so the ankle injury isn't anything serious. Tyson Chandler (neck) is questionable for this one, so Muscala could take over his minutes. However, that won't be […]

Josh Hart is Probable for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) was not able to practice on Wednesday, but is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed three of the last four games before the All-Star break. Reggie Bullock is in the rotation now, so Hart doesn't have much fantasy value right now.

Derrick Jones is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jones was able to practice on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he's able to suit up for this contest. Jones has missed the last three weeks, so he could be eased back into action. He's not worth […]

Gary Harris Should Play on Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Monte Morris and Malik Beasley are going to lose playing time and value with Harris returning. Isaiah Thomas (hip) is active as well, so it'll be interesting to see how Denver decides to split up the playing time. […]

Terry Rozier Will Play on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (illness) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed the last game before the All-Star break, but has been given over a week to rest. Kyrie Irving looks like he is good to go, so Rozier is going to lose playing time and obviously his […]

Austin Rivers is Probable for Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (elbow) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Rivers is dealing with a sore right elbow, but it doesn't seem like a serious issue. Gerald Green could lose some minutes with Rivers in the rotation. Neither player has much fantasy value with Chris Paul and […]

DeMarcus Cousins Won't Have Minutes Limit

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins will not have a minutes limit going forward, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Cousins has only played 11 games so far, but it sounds like he'll play more as the season goes on. He's averaging 23.4 minutes right now and that is going to trend up. His fantasy […]

Nikola Mirotic Expected to Play Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (calf) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Head coach Mike Budenholzer said that Mirotic is probable after going through Wednesday's practice. He's been out for awhile, so Mirotic might have a minutes limit. However, he needs to be added in all leagues going forward.

Goran Dragic Will Be Eased Into Action

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is going to be eased back into the rotation once he's able to play, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Dragic was able to go through Wednesday's practice and is questionable for Thursday's contest. Justise Winslow is currently playing point guard, so it'll be interesting to see what Spoelstra […]

Gordon Hayward is Doubtful for Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Hayward was listed as questionable beforehand and is considered day-to-day at the moment. The Celtics will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, so no big winner here.

Damian Lillard Will Play Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was originally listed as questionable, but has been upgraded and will play in this contest. He suffered a minor ankle issue during the All-Star game, but will be fine for Thursday's contest.

Rodney Hood is Available on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Hood has seen his fantasy value take a significant hit since joining the Blazers. Jake Layman is playing solid, so Hood is going to continue losing minutes to Layman. Most fantasy owners can go ahead and avoid Hood at […]

Kyrie Irving Will Play in All-Star Game

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) said he's healthy and will play in Sunday's All-Star game. He missed the last two games heading into the break, but that was likely just the Celtics being cautious. It was reported on Friday that Irving was very close to returning. Irving should be fine to play in Thursday's […]

Anthony Davis Unsure if He'll Play Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (shoulder) is unsure if he'll play in Sunday's All-Star game. Davis injured his shoulder during Thursday's contest, but it doesn't sound too serious. Davis wants to play throughout the rest of the regular season, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to play right after the break.

Wilson Chandler Will Practice After All-Star Break

Los Angeles Clippers forward Wilson Chandler (quad) is expected to return to practice after the All-Star break. He was traded to the Clippers at the deadline, but has yet to make his debut for Los Angeles. However, the Clippers have plenty of depth, so Chandler won't be relevant in fantasy leagues.

Goran Dragic is Expected Back Soon

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is reportedly making solid progress and should return shortly after the All-Star break. Dragic was given a six to eight week timetable and he's currently at week eight. Once Dragic is back, Justise Winslow will return to the bench. Dion Waiters and Dwyane Wade should lose some minutes as […]

Aron Baynes Expected to Return In Late February

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (foot) said that he'll return late February or possibly early March. Baynes has been sidelined since Feb. 2 with a left foot contusion. He could return right after the All-Star break, but it's unclear if that's going to happen right now. Daniel Theis is lose most of his value and […]

Kris Dunn Expected to Return After All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (tailbone) should be fine to return to the lineup after the All-Star break, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Dunn missed Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, but it sounds like the Bulls were just being cautious. It appears Dunn will be back in the starting five after the break. The […]

Andre Roberson Could Play This Season

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) could still be able to return this season, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Roberson is recovering from left knee surgery, but has not ruled out the idea of playing this season. There is a chance that Roberson returns at the end of the regular season or possibly […]

Anthony Davis Plans to Play in All-Star Game

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (shoulder) says that he plans to play in Sunday's All-Star game. However, that is going to be dependent on how Davis responds to the treatment he was given for his muscle contusion. Assuming Davis plays in the All-Star game then he'll be ready for Friday's game against the Indiana […]

Emmanuel Mudiay is Unsure of His Role

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay (shoulder) is unsure whether or not he'll be in the rotation once he returns from injury. Mudiay has missed the last 11 games due to a strained left shoulder. Dennis Smith Jr. and Kadeem Allen have made it difficult for Mudiay to carve out a role in the Knicks […]

Kyrie Irving is Close to A Return

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) is very close to a return, according to general manager Danny Ainge. Irving is traveling to Charlotte for the All-Star weekend, but it's unclear if he'll participate in Sunday's All-Star game. Irving sat out the last two games before the break, but he should return to the lineup after […]

Jerami Grant Won't Play on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Grant was unable to play on Monday, so Patrick Patterson drew the start. Deonte Burton played much better than Patterson is that game, so he'll be the better fantasy option for Thursday.

Dennis Schroder Won't Play on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Schroder is still out after the birth of his child, so fantasy owners can expect him back after the All-Star break. Raymond Felton should soak up a majority of the backup guard minutes behind Russell Westbrook.

Kevin Huerter is Probable for Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He was able to play 25 minutes on Tuesday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Fantasy owners should expect Huerter out there for this one, but should double check before tip-off.

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It sounds like head coach Alvin Gentry is leaning towards holding out Payton until after the All-Star break. Frank Jackson and Tim Frazier will see increased minutes without Payton on the court. Frazier is the better […]

Jaylen Adams is Probable on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jaylen Adams (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Jeremy Lin is now with the Toronto Raptors, so Adams should see around 20 minutes as the backup guard to Trae Young. However, Adams is not a must-add player in fantasy leagues right now.

Markelle Fultz Still Has No Timetable

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (shoulder) is still without a timetable and won't rush back to the court. Fultz was traded to Orlando at the deadline, and has been given a chance to hit the reset button. It's unclear whether or not Fultz will actually suit up for the Magic this season. He could be […]

Malik Monk Expected to Play on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk was in the G-League, but has been recalled and is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Tony Parker (back) is not expected to play, so Monk should see minutes as the backup point guard to Kemba Walker.
