Austin Rivers Expected to Sign with Memphis

Phoenix Suns guard Austin Rivers is expected to sign with the Memphis Grizzlies once his buyout with the Suns is complete. Rivers was traded to Phoenix along with Kelly Oubre in a deal that sent Trevor Ariza to Washington. Rivers should see around 20-25 minutes behind Mike Conley in Memphis. He's worth considering in deep […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Play Against Denver

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Smith was listed as doubtful on Monday, so it's not surprising to see him sidelined for his second straight game. J.J. Barea (ankle) is expected to play, so he'll see increased playing time along with Jalen Brunson. […]

J.J. Barea Will Play on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's missed the last two games due to an ankle issue, but is good to go on Tuesday. Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) has been ruled out for this game. That means Barea and Jalen Brunson should see extra minutes coming […]

Kyle Lowry is Questionable for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Lowry has missed the last two games due to a left thigh contusion. Fred Vanvleet (back) missed Sunday's game, but is expected to return on Wednesday. Delon Wright saw almost 40 minutes with both Lowry and VanVleet sidelined. […]

Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet Practice on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam (back) and guard Fred Vanvleet (back) returned to practice on Tuesday and are listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Siakam was unable to play on Sunday due to back stiffness, but it sounds like it will just be a one game absence. C.J. Miles will go […]

Jaylen Brown is Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's unclear how serious this problem is, but Brown is dealing with a bruised right hand. Marcus Smart and Gordon Hayward should see more playing time if Brown is sidelined on Wednesday.

Al Horford Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Horford continues to miss games due to left knee soreness. It's unclear when he'll be back on the court, but fantasy owners are just going to need to stay patient. Aron Baynes, Daniel Theis, and Robert Williams will […]

Josh Richardson, Justise Winslow Miss Tuesday's Practice

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (hip) and forward Justise Winslow (ankle) did not practice on Tuesday, but are considered probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. This appears to be a minor issue for Richardson, so he's expected to suit up for Thursday. Winslow injured his right ankle on Sunday and was unable to […]

Julius Randle Ruled Out for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Randle is dealing with a sprained right ankle and is considered day-to-day. Nikola Mirotic (ankle) has also been ruled out for Wednesday's contest. That means Cheick Diallo should see plenty of playing time and could be a […]

JaVale McGee is Questionable for Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. McGee was able to play on Saturday despite dealing with flu-like symptoms. However, McGee didn't play on Sunday which led to Tyson Chandler drawing the start at center. Chandler and Moritz Wagner would see increased playing time without McGee […]

David Nwaba Could Start on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward David Nwaba could draw the start instead of Alec Burks on Tuesday, according to head coach Larry Drew. It sounds like Drew would only make the change if Nwaba's knee is 100 percent. On Monday, Nwaba said his knee wasn't 100 percent yet, but he'll play through it. Burks will likely see […]

Omari Spellman is Likely Out Next Three Games

Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman (hip) will likely miss the next three games for the Hawks. Spellman has missed the last five games and is already ruled out for Tuesday. He's been making progress, but it doesn't sound like he's ready for game action yet. John Collins is playing solid, so he'll continue to soak […]

Trevor Ariza Will Start on Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Trevor Ariza will make his team debut with the Wizards on Tuesday, according to head coach Scott Brooks. Ariza was traded to Washington in a deal that sent Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers to Phoenix. Otto Porter (knee) is still sidelined, so Ariza should see plenty of playing time. He should be […]

Damyean Dotson is Questionable on Monday

New York Knicks guard Damyean Dotson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's considered day-to-day, but has missed the last two games due to a sore right shoulder. Frank Ntilikina, Trey Burke, and Courtney Lee should all see minutes in the teens if Dotson sits out again.

J.J. Barea is Questionable on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Barea did go through parts of Monday's practice, but is still dealing with a left ankle sprain. Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is doubtful for Tuesday, so Barea would see more minutes without Smith in the rotation. Otherwise, Jalen […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Doubtful for Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The fact Smith is listed as doubtful a full day in advance is not a good sign. J.J. Barea (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday, so Jalen Brunson could have some value with the Mavs banged up. Fantasy owners will […]

Iman Shumpert Ruled Out on Monday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (personal) has been ruled out against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. He sat out on Sunday due to a left hip contusion. Yogi Ferrell should see some more playing time without Shumpert in the rotation. Ferrell could be a cheap DFS option on Monday, assuming he's given more playing time.

Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan IIyasova (nose) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's unclear where this injury came from, but it appears IIyasova is dealing with a nose contusion. He wasn't much of an option in fantasy leagues anyway. Thon Maker should see a few extra minutes, but not enough […]

Kyle Anderson is Probable on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was listed as questionable after sitting out of Saturday's game. It appears Anderson has been upgraded, so there is a good chance that he plays in this one. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time, but […]

Andre Iguodala is Probable on Monday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (hip) is probable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Iggy has missed the last three games due to a hip issue. It sounds like he should be good to go for Monday, but nothing is official yet. He's not expected to be limited and should see around 20 […]

Jeff Teague is Questionable for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Teague is dealing with left ankle inflammation, but is considered day-to-day. Derrick Rose has been on fire lately and would draw the start with Teague sidelined. Tyus Jones would grab a few extra minutes with the second unit, but Rose […]

Mitchell Robinson to Be Re-Evaluated on Monday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be re-evaluated on Monday after he was seen in a walking boot on Sunday. It sounds like Robinson is going to be sidelined for a few more games, but fantasy owners will have to wait and see. Most likely Robinson is going to sit out of Monday's […]

Rodions Kurucs Will Stay in the Rotation

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs will remain in the rotation when Allen Crabbe (knee) returns, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson. Kurucs has averaged 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 threes over the last two games. Kurucs has seen an increase in playing time with Crabbe sidelined over the last few games. He's someone […]

Malcolm Brogdon is Probable for Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He missed Friday's game due to left hamstring soreness, but appears to be doing better. Brogdon got the weekend off the rest, so the fact he's listed as probable is a good sign. Fantasy owners should check back […]

Khris Middleton is Probable for Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (hand) is probable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Middleton missed Friday's game due to a right pinkie issue, but should be good to go on Monday. Maybe the pinkie injury is why Middleton has struggled over the last few weeks. Hopefully he'll be able to get back on […]

Kelly Oubre, Austin Rivers Out Until Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre and guard Austin Rivers will not make their team debut with the Suns on Monday. The trade is official, but neither player will play in Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The Suns are loaded at the wings, so it'll be interesting to see what they decide to do […]

Peyton Barber Scores TD in Week 15

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had one of his better rushing games of the season versus the Ravens in Week 15. Barber rushed 19 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the 20-12 loss. This was a nice game for Barber, but he hasn't been reliable in fantasy football this season. Fantasy […]

Adam Humphries Grabs Four Receptions in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries had a fairly rough day from a fantasy perspective, but tied with the team-high in receptions during Week 15. Humphries caught four of his six targets for 23 yards in the 20-12 loss to the Ravens. Quarterback Jameis Winston was only able to connect on 13 passes, so […]

Cameron Brate Held to One Reception

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was held in check by the Ravens in Week 15. Brate caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the 20-12 loss to Baltimore. Brate remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option that is difficult to trust in most leagues. He should be considered a TE2 versus the […]

Dwyane Wade is Questionable on Sunday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (soreness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wade sat out on Friday, so maybe he's rested enough to play on Sunday. Otherwise Tyler Johnson and Justise Winslow should benefit the most with Wade out. Johnson is an interesting DFS option with extended playing time.
