Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both Marc Gasol (rest) and Chandler Parsons (rest) will be sidelined for this contest. However, Tyreke Evans will return for this game after resting during Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. Harrison scored just two points in 16 minutes […]

Marc Gasol Will Rest Against Hornets

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (rest) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both Gasol and Chandler Parsons (rest) will be sidelined for this contest. This was not a surprising move since Memphis usually rests their veterans during back-to-back sets. He's a solid fantasy option most nights, but Memphis may decide […]

Jonathan Isaac Won't Play Thursday

Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a new injury for Isaac who has battled with injuries throughout his rookie season. He's been a fantastic player on defense, but many fantasy owners can't hang onto through the injury. He's become a drop […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (rest) will play against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.

Zach LaVine Won't Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark LaVine's third straight game on the sidelines.

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's missed two straight games and is in danger of missing his third straight contest. Delon Wright and C.J. Miles will continue to fill in for VanVleet if he's unable to suit up on Wednesday.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks Wade's fifth straight game sidelined.

Royce O'Neale and Jae […]

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The MRI taken on Warren's knee came back clean, but he did not practice on Monday.

Jonathon Simmons is Questionable Against Toronto

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Simmons has been a key piece on offense, so his absence would be hurtful.

Fred VanVleet is Questionable on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The team is listing him as day-to-day, so hopefully it's just a minor issue.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Ruled Out on Monday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons.
