George Hill Unlikely to Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's been sidelined since Nov. 7, but continues to make progress. Hill shouldn't be out for too much longer, but Collin Sexton is playing well as the starter. It's unclear what kind of role Hill is going to […]

Maximilian Kleber is Questionable on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join Dwight Powell (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) on the injury report. The Mavs are banged up, so Dorian Finney-Smith and Harrison Barnes could be looking at extra minutes on Friday. Fantasy owners should […]

Otto Porter Has Been Ruled Out on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's unclear why Porter is not going to play, but hopefully this is just a one game absence. Jeff Green (back) is listed as questionable, so the Wizards could be thin at forward. Markieff Morris and Kelly Oubre […]

Jeff Green is Questionable for Friday

Washington Wizards forward Jeff Green (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Green has been reliable this season, but is currently dealing with some lower back tightness. Otto Porter (personal) has already been ruled out, so the Wizards could be thin at forward. Markieff Morris could be looking at heavy […]

Alec Burks Will Play Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Alec Burks is expected to play in Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics. Burks was acquired in the deal that sent Kyle Korver to Utah earlier this week. Burks is expected to split time with Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood. It doesn't sound like Burks is going to play enough to have […]

Dwight Howard Likely Sidelined for Two Months

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (back) will undergo a surgery to alleviate pain from a gluteal injury, according to Shams Charania. Howard is expected to be sidelined at least two months. Thomas Bryant has been starting at center without Howard in the rotation. Although, Bryant hasn't done much of anything with his playing time. Markieff […]

Justise Winslow Will Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (knee) went through shootaround and will play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Winslow has been coming off the bench lately for the Heat. That's what he's done the last four games and it looks like he'll continue to do that. He […]

Derrick Jones Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jones already lost his starting gig, but now he could be sidelined for multiple games. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger and Jones wasn't a big part of the rotation anyway. He belongs on the waiver […]

Jonathon Simmons is Questionable for Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (illness) missed shootaround and is in danger of missing Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross could be looking at heavy roles in the offense with Aaron Gordon (back) questionable as well. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for more information.

Jeremy Lin is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He did not play on Wednesday and is dealing with a left ankle issue. Kevin Huerter saw more minutes without Lin in the rotation on Wednesday. Deandre Bembry was able to see more action off the bench while Justin […]

Dewayne Dedmon is Available on Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is available and will play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dedmon was listed as questionable because he's dealing with a minor left ankle issue. He's been decent during his five starts this season, but continues to battle Alex Len for playing time. This situation should be […]

T.J. Warren Ruled Out on Friday

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was listed as questionable on the injury report, but Warren has been officially ruled out. Josh Jackson will draw the start, but he's struggled this season. DFS players should avoid Jackson even if he's starting on Friday.

Aaron Gordon Remains Questionable on Friday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back) remains questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He did not play on Wednesday, but was able to do some shooting on Thursday. Gordon is clearly not 100 percent, so the Magic may decide to be cautious here and rest him. Jonathan Isaac would draw the start without […]

Aaron Gordon is Questionable for Friday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Gordon got hurt on Monday and was forced to sit out during Wednesday's contest. Jonathan Isaac would earn another start if Gordon is sidelined once again. Evan Fournier and Jarell Martin should see extra minutes as well without Gordon, but […]

Joe Harris is Listed as Questionable for Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played 29 minutes on Wednesday, so this looks like just a minor issue for Harris. The Nets would likely use a committee to soak up the minutes if Harris is unable to go on Friday. Fantasy owners […]

Marc Gasol is Questionable for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was playing through some discomfort on Tuesday and missed practice on Wednesday. He still played almost 40 minutes on Tuesday, so this appears to be a minor issue. Gasol should be able to play, but fantasy owners […]

Al Horford Will Rest on Friday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (rest) will not play in Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics are playing the first game of a back-to-back set on Friday, so Horford will sit it out to rest. Aron Baynes is expected to draw the start, while Marcus Morris should see extended minutes.

Jaylen Brown Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (tailbone) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This will be the second straight game that Brown has missed after falling on Saturday. Marcus Smart should draw the start with Semi Ojeleye and Terry Rozier seeing increased playing time.

Lonzo Ball Remains Questionable on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) went through shootaround on Thursday, but remains questionable against the Indiana Pacers. Ball is expected to play, but this is the first game of a back-to-back set. Josh Hart and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see increased playing time if Ball sits out. Fantasy owners will need to check […]

Marcin Gortat is Questionable on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers center Marcin Gortat (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He did not play on Wednesday and the Clippers didn't have a shootaround on Thursday. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until closer to game time for more information. If Gortat can't play, Boban Marjanovic would […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He did some work at shootaround on Thursday, but was not expected to play in this game. Tyreke Evans should draw another start with Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday benefiting off the bench.

Lauri Markkanen Could Return in Early December

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (elbow) went through his first full contact practice of the year on Tuesday. It appears that everything went fine and Markkanen is getting closer to a return. His elbow has reportedly responded well to an increased workload, which is a great sign. There is a chance that Markkanen returns to […]

Kris Dunn, Bobby Portis Not Close to Returning

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (knee) and forward Bobby Portis (knee) were able to go through some non-contact parts during Tuesday's practice. However, head coach Fred Hoiberg says both players are not close to a return. "We are not going to get too far ahead of ourselves with those guys, being injuries to their knees," […]

Lonzo Ball is Day-to-Day

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) is considered day-to-day after tweaking his ankle during Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets. He was able to return to the game, but only played 18 minutes. The X-rays came back negative, so Ball shouldn't miss much time if any at all. The Lakers play the Pacers on […]

George Hill Won't Play on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. There was hope that Hill could play on Wednesday after going through full contact practice on Monday. Apparently Hill is just not ready for game action yet. Collin Sexton will continue to start with Hill sidelined. There […]

David Nwaba Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward David Nwaba (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will be Nwaba's second straight game sidelined due to a sore right knee. Larry Nance Jr. should move back into the starting five. He was solid as a starter on Monday, so DFS players should strongly […]

Aaron Gordon is Questionable for Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Head coach Steve Clifford made it sound like Gordon is closer to doubtful than questionable. Jonathan Isaac is expected to jump into the starting five if Gordon isn't available. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Jeremy Lin is Questionable for Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Jeremy Lin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It appears that Lin tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's game versus the Heat. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Hawks be cautious here. Trae Young could […]

Kevin Huerter is Questionable on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Hawks won't have a shootaround before the game because this is the second game of a back-to-back set. Kent Bazemore and Deandre Bembry would see increased playing time without Huerter in the rotation.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Smith was a full participant in shootaround on Wednesday and said himself that he was going to play. He missed Saturday's contest, but it appears he's only going to miss one game. Dorian Finney-Smith would return […]
