Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice. He is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Muscala has not played this season, but he does appear close to returning. Joel Embiid and Dario Saric are going to see most of the minutes, so Muscala won't […]

Andre Drummond is Questionable for Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Drummond is currently dealing with the flu and missed Monday's practice because of it. His status for Tuesday is uncertain, but that depends on how he's feeling come tip-off. The Pistons likely aren't going to make a final decision on […]

Kris Dunn Will Play on Monday

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn (personal) is expected to return and start against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Dunn is back after missing time due to the birth of his child. He reportedly missed Monday's shootaround, but is expected to be ready by tip-off. Cameron Payne will head back to the bench and Ryan […]

Aron Baynes Has Been Ruled Out on Monday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (hamstring) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Baynes could be sidelined for a bit. Daniel Theis should see an increased workload with Baynes out on Monday. However, Theis shouldn't get enough minutes to make him valuable in […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable on Monday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Morris finished with 16 points, six rebounds, two assists and two treys in 26 minutes on Saturday versus the Knicks. Jayson Tatum, Semi Ojeleye, and Daniel Theis would see increased playing time if Morris is forced to sit out.

Marquese Chriss is Not Close to Returning

Houston Rockets forward Marquese Chriss (ankle) did not play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Chriss continues to deal with a left ankle injury that could force him to miss significant time. There have been no reports about Chriss even being close to returning to action. It appears the Rockets are fine with Chriss […]

Courtney Lee Will Undergo Tests on Monday

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) will undergo tests on Monday in an attempt to determine what is causing his neck pain. Lee has not played this season and has already been ruled out on Monday. The rebuilding Knicks don't have a lot of room for Lee even if he was healthy. Fantasy owners […]

Rodions Kurucs Appears to be Fine

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) appears to be fine after suffering a sprained ankle during Saturday's contest. Kurucs was helped off the court during Saturday's loss to the Pacers. The X-rays came back negative, so it appears to be just a sprain for Kurucs. However, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (personal, groin) is expected to return on […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Expected to Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) is expected to make his season debut against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson.

Delon Wright Ruled Out on Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Wright went through shootaround on Monday, but the team wants him to get in a full practice before playing in a game. Wright has not played this season, but appears to be heading in a positive direction. Fred […]

Ben Simmons Listed as Questionable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Simmons was unable to practice on Monday due to back tightness. This issue is not believed to be serious, but the Sixers may decide to be cautious and hold Simmons out a game. More information should be known […]

Jimmy Butler Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (rest) will be back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Butler sat out on Saturday versus the Mavericks, but it was the second game of a back-to-back set. Josh Okogie started at shooting guard for Butler and played 28 minutes on Saturday. He'll move back […]

Kevin Knox Out At Least One Week

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week. Knox will miss at least the next three games after suffering a sprained left ankle. Knox could miss up to a month of action, but fantasy owners will just have to wait and see how his ankle feels next week. Noah Vonleh […]

Harrison Barnes, Devin Harris Will Miss Next Two Games

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) and guard Devin Harris (hamstring) will miss at least the next two games, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Barnes appeared close to returning, but maybe he suffered a setback or the Mavs are just being extremely cautious. Dorian Finney-Smith is expected to continue starting until Barnes is back. […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Seven Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an explosive game against the Patriots in Week 6, so there was no way he was going to match that this week. However, Hill finished with seven receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown against Cincinnati. Hill saw a team leading 10 targets, but didn't have any […]

Sammy Watkins Rebounds Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was held to just two receptions for 18 yards in Week 6. He finished with four receptions for 74 yards in the victory over the Bengals on Sunday. It was a quiet night for Watkins until he caught a 50 yard pass in the beginning of the second […]

Travis Kelce Hauls in All Five Targets

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a fairly solid game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Kelce was only targeted five times, but hauled all of them in for 95 yards. Kareem Hunt and Demetrius Harris were the red-zone targets in this one, so Kelce was held without a touchdown for the […]

Spencer Ware Goes Over 50 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware had his best game of the season against the Bengals in Week 7. Ware had not seen more than three carries per game this season heading into this matchup with Cincinnati. Ware rushed eight times for 59 yards, but did not find the end zone. It was a […]

Kareem Hunt Continues TD Streak

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has advanced his touchdown streak to five straight games after putting up three TDs versus the Bengals.

He underthrew Tyreek Hill for his only interception and […]

Kris Dunn Could Miss Saturday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (personal) has reportedly not rejoined the team and his status for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons is unknown. Dunn is away from the team following the birth of his child. It's unclear whether or not he'll return to the Bulls in time to play on Saturday. Head coach Fred […]

Denzel Valentine Doesn't Practice on Friday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) did not practice on Friday and will be re-evaluated. Valentine missed all of the preseason and Thursday's season opener against the 76ers. Justin Holiday started the game and played 27 minutes, while Antonio Blakeney played 30 minutes off the bench. Both players would likely see similar workloads on Saturday, […]

Jamal Crawford Will Make Suns Debut on Saturday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jamal Crawford will make his Suns debut on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Crawford is projected to come off the bench as the sixth man in Phoenix. Isaiah Canaan will remain the starting point guard, so Crawford will back him up. It'll be interesting to see how many minutes Crawford is […]

J.R. Smith Ruled Out on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward J.R. Smith (elbow) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Smith was dealing with a hip issue in the preseason, but now has elbow soreness. It's unclear how serious this issue is right now, but Smith could be sidelined a few more games. Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood […]

Deandre Ayton Rolls Ankle in Practice

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets after rolling his ankle in practice. He needed to ice it, but fantasy owners are just going to have to wait and see. His status might not change until closer to tip off on Saturday. Ayton looked fantastic […]

Julius Randle is Available on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has a plantar fascia issue, which is something that has a tendency to linger.

Dion Waiters, James Johnson Out on Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) and forward James Johnson (groin) will not play in Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Rodney McGruder is going to continue to benefit with Waiters sidelined. There is no timetable for his return, and fantasy owners have basically no reason to stash Waiters. It sounds like Johnson is going […]

Wayne Ellington Downgraded to Doubtful for Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) has been downgraded for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was originally listed as questionable, but that has clearly changed. He missed the first two games to start the season, so it sounds like he could be sidelined this weekend as well. Josh Richardson will continue to carry […]

Justise Winslow is Doubtful for Saturday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Winslow has been sidelined with a hamstring issue that he suffered during the preseason. Josh Richardson would benefit from Winslow sitting out again on Saturday. Most fantasy owners are going to want to stay away from Winslow even when he's […]

Russell Westbrook Officially Ruled Out on Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) has been officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Westbrook was able to workout on Friday, so there was some hope that he'd be able to take the court. Dennis Schroder will get the start at point guard. He was solid in the […]
