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 […]

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 […]
