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.

Mario Hezonja is Doubtful for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja (leg) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Hezonja played just six minutes on Wednesday and is now on the injury report with a left leg contusion. Damyean Dotson is expected to jump into the starting five if Hezonja is unable to play. Fantasy owners should check […]

Rodions Kurucs Ruled Out on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kurucs is dealing with a left elbow sprain, but will get a full week off with the All-Star break approaching. Shabazz Napier or Allen Crabbe will likely be asked to jump into the starting five. Fantasy owners should […]

Kevin Love Will Sit on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Love said he wanted to play in the final game before the All-Star break, but the medical staff didn't clear him. Marquese Chriss will be asked to step up in the absence of Love on Wednesday.

Kawhi Leonard is Questionable on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Leonard is dealing with knee soreness and the Raptors have been careful with Leonard all season. It's likely that Leonard sits and Norman Powell gets the start in return. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game time.

Dwyane Wade Could Sit Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed shootaround, so that is not a good sign, but more information will be known closer to game time. Dion Waiters and Rodney McGruder would see increased minutes without Wade available. Waiters is the better fantasy option out of […]

Andrew Wiggins Participates in Shootaround

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) was able to participate in shootaround on Wednesday. However, Wiggins remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Luol Deng would return to the bench if Wiggins is able to get back on the court. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Terry Rozier is Doubtful for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Kyrie Irving (knee) has already been ruled out for this contest, so Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown stand to gain fantasy value. Brown is going to be a solid DFS option with Irving out and Rozier likely sidelined as well.

Kyrie Irving Won't Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Irving will miss the last two games before the All-Star break, but will return for the first game after the break. Terry Rozier (illness) is doubtful, so Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown should see increased playing time and […]

Jerami Grant is Doubtful for Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Billy Donovan hinted that Grant didn't looked too good, so there's a strong possibility of Grant sitting this one out. Patrick Patterson would get the start, but he won't offer much in terms of fantasy production.

Isaiah Thomas Will Play on Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) will make his debut with the Nuggets on Wednesday versus the Sacramento Kings. Thomas has not played in 11 months, so it's likely that the Nuggets take the cautious approach here. DFS players shouldn't bother with Thomas right away. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect much from him on Wednesday.
