Jimmy Butler Intends to Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) plans to play against the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Butler said that he needed to rest on Wednesday due to general soreness. It's unclear whether he sat out due to soreness or just because he's frustrated that the Wolves have not traded him yet. He's expected to play […]

De'Aaron Fox is Probable for Thursday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fox managed to play 31 minutes on Tuesday despite a back issue. He's been fantastic this season and it sounds like he can play through the back discomfort. Fantasy owners should expect Fox to be out there on Thursday, […]

Jaylen Brown is Questionable for Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like Brown has plantar fasciitis which could continue to be a lingering issue for him. The Celtics may decide to take the cautious approach and rest Brown on Thursday. Fantasy owners probably won't get an official answer until […]

Wilson Chandler Remains Out on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Head coach Brett Brown hinted on Monday that Chandler was getting close to a return. However, Chandler still remains without a timetable. The Sixers are expected to ease him back into things once he's cleared to play. […]

Jeff Teague Won't Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Teague bumped knees with LeBron James on Monday and currently has a left knee contusion. He is scheduled for an MRI, so the Timberwolves should have a better idea about the injury soon. Derrick Rose and Tyus Jones will […]

Jabari Parker Will Start on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker will draw the start at power forward for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Chandler Hutchison will head back to the bench after doing basically nothing during his 23 minutes as starter on Monday. Bobby Portis (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (elbow) are both sidelined. Parker's value is trending up with […]

Andrew Wiggins Listed as Questionable Against Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wiggins should be ready for Wednesday's contest. Jeff Teague (knee) and Jimmy Butler (personal) are sidelined for this one. Assuming Wiggins plays, he's going to have heavy usage and be someone worth targeting […]

Jae Crowder is Probable on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's listed as probable, but expected to be fine. Derrick Favors (knee) is expected to play, so Crowder will resume his role off the bench in Utah. Crowder won't have much DFS value, but standard league owners can […]

Josh Jackson Should Start on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson is expected to draw the start at shooting guard on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for the third straight game. Isaiah Canaan (ankle) is sitting out as well, so Jackson and Elie Okobo will most likely jump into the starting five. Jackson […]

Elie Okobo Expected to Start on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Elie Okobo is expected to start at point guard on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Isaiah Canaan (ankle) is sitting this one out and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. Okobo played fantastic on Sunday and he should see more work with Devin Booker (hamstring) out as well on Wednesday. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol and will play on Thursday against the Boston Celtics. He was able to fully practice on Wednesday, so it sounds like he will be good to go. Ersan Ilyasova will move back to the bench and resume his normal role in the rotation.

Jimmy Butler Won't Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Butler is reportedly refusing to play in an attempt to force Minnesota to trade him. This sounds like Butler is going to sit out until he's out of Minnesota. That is not good news for fantasy owners because it's unclear […]

Derrick Favors Available on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Favors is available to play, but he hasn't be officially announced back in the starting lineup. Assuming Favors plays, Jae Crowder would move back to the bench. Georges Niang would lose almost all his minutes and value.

Anthony Davis is Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Davis looked good during shootaround, according to Will Guillory. The Pelicans are likely going to wait until closer to tip-off before announcing whether or not Davis will play. Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic would see increased playing time […]

Dirk Nowitzki is Not Close to Returning

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) said he's measuring his return in weeks, not days. That's not an encouraging sign from the 40-year-old veteran. Harrison Barnes and DeAndre Jordan are going to remain in the starting five for the foreseeable future. Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber will likely lose some playing time once Nowitzki returns. […]

Josh Reynolds is TD-Dependent Option

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds scored two touchdowns in the victory over the Packers in Week 8. He caught three passes for 42 yards and two TDs, but could lose most of his fantasy value this week. Cooper Kupp (knee) is questionable to play, so Reynolds would lose basically all his value once […]

Robert Woods Should Get Back on Track in Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has been held to fewer than 80 yards in each of his last two games. However, he heads into a matchup against the Saints who have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, according to Yahoo. They've allowed 100 yards and a touchdown to six […]

Brandin Cooks Has Excellent Matchup

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks looks to get back on track against the shaky Saints secondary in Week 9. New Orleans has allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, according to Yahoo. The Saints have allowed 100 yards and a touchdown to six different wide receivers this season. Cooks has […]

Todd Gurley Faces Toughest Challenge Yet

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is an elite fantasy option each and every week. However, he could have some difficulty finding room to run against a Saints defense that hasn't allowed a RB to rush for over 70 yards a game yet. Although, Gurley has 11 touchdowns and is seemingly unstoppable this season. […]

Jared Goff Should Remain Solid Against the Saints

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff bounced back in Week 8 after two lackluster fantasy performances. Goff has not played overly well on the road this season. However, he heads into a matchup against the Saints who have allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, according to Yahoo. Goff doesn't have the […]

Iman Shumpert is Resting on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (rest) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Shumpert has a history with injuries, so the Kings just want to be cautious with him. It sounds like the Kings are going to continue resting Shumpert in back-to-back contests. Justin Jackson and Buddy Hield will see increased playing […]

OG Anunoby Won't Play on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Siakam played fantastic on Monday, […]

Luc Mbah a Moute Ruled Out on Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Head coach Doc Rivers said that he is hopeful Mbah a Moute can return on Thursday. It appears he's close to a return, but does not have basically any fantasy value even when healthy. […]

Andrew Wiggins Listed as Questionable for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Wiggins has been sidelined the last three games and it's unclear how much progress he's made during that time. Josh Okogie would likely draw another start if Wiggins is forced out of action again. Okogie is a cheap […]

Kelly Oubre is Questionable for Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Markieff Morris (concussion) has already been ruled out for this contest. Jeff Green would likely see heavy minutes if both Oubre is sidelined as well on Tuesday. Green would be an interesting DFS option if Oubre sits […]

Markieff Morris Ruled Out on Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (concussion) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Morris has entered the NBA's concussion protocol, and must be cleared by doctor's before being allowed to play again. Jeff Green and Jason Smith could be looking at heavy minutes in this one. Green might be someone worth […]

James Johnson Listed as Out on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (hernia) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Johnson has been sidelined all season long and there hasn't been many updates on his status. Hopefully he's moving in the right direction, but fantasy owners might just need to stay patient.

Nerlens Noel Remains Questionable on Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Nerlens Noel (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He tweaked his ankle during Sunday's victory. He drew the start for Steven Adams (calf) on Sunday versus the Suns. Jerami Grant would likely draw the start if both Noel and Adams sit out. Noel would […]

Steven Adams is Questionable Against Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (calf) remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Adams did not play on Sunday, but was reportedly on the floor for shootaround on Tuesday. Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to draw the start if Adams is unable to play. Jerami Grant would see a huge boost […]

Fred VanVleet Remains Questionable on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet (toe) remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's missed the last three games, but was able to get through a limited practice on Sunday. Delon Wright (groin) would serve as the backup point guard if VanVleet is sidelined for the fourth straight game. However, Wright does […]
