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.

Kelly Oubre Will Come Off The Bench Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. will come off the bench for his team debut against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Oubre should have more fantasy value on the Suns than he did in Washington. It wouldn't be insane to think that Oubre could earn his way into the starting five. However, Josh Jackson and […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is Questionable on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (quad) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. DeMarre Carroll could be looking at heavy minutes with Allen Crabbe (knee) already sidelined. Jared Dudley could draw the start without RHJ out there, but Carroll is the better fantasy bet on Wednesday.

Allen Crabbe Ruled Out for Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Crabbe will miss his fourth straight game due to a knee issue and it's unclear when he's going to return. Rodions Kurucs will draw another draw with DeMarre Carroll grabbing extra minutes as well.

Iman Shumpert Plans to Play on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (personal, hip) intends to play in Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He missed Sunday's game due to a hip issue and Monday's game because of personal reasons. Bogdan Bogdanovic (foot) is questionable, so Shumpert could play near 30 minutes if Bogdanovic is inactive. He'd be an attractive DFS […]

Blake Griffin is Probable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He missed shootaround due to an illness, but it sounds like Griffin should be fine for tip-off. He might be limited due to the illness, so fantasy owners need to check back for an update closer to game time.

Zach LaVine is Out Two to Four Weeks

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) will miss the next two to four weeks due to a left ankle injury. Ryan Arcidiacono is expected to play alongside Kris Dunn in the starting five. Lauri Markkanen will be asked to do more on offense, so he's going to have increased usage over the next few weeks. […]

Malcolm Brogdon Upgraded to Probable

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Brogdon has missed the last two games due to left hamstring soreness. His return would mean less minutes for Tony Snell, but nothing is official yet.

Matthew Dellavedova is Questionable on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Normally, Delly isn't relevant in terms of fantasy basketball, but he's been playing significant minutes with the Cavs. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Delly sit this one out. […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Questionable for Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (foot) was limited during shootaround and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Iman Shumpert (hip) is expected to play, so that will take away some of Bogdanovic's value. Justin Jackson will lose playing time if both of them suit up for this contest. Fantasy […]

Julius Randle, Nikola Mirotic Upgraded to Doubtful

New Orleans Pelicans forwards Julius Randle (ankle) and Nikola Mirotic (ankle) have been upgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both players were ruled out earlier, but it appears they've now been listed as doubtful. That still doesn't give much hope to fantasy owners, but it's better than being completely ruled out. […]

Serge Ibaka is Questionable for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ibaka continues to deal with lingering knee problems this season. Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) is already sidelined, so Greg Monroe could be forced into heavy minutes. Monroe could be an interesting DFS option if given plenty of playing time. […]

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 […]
