Rodney Hood Ruled Out Against Hawks

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (leg) has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. This will be his second game on the shelf, and it's not a good sign that he was ruled out this early. He should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Joe Ingles scored 21 points […]

Aron Baynes Will Play Sunday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (illness) will play against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. He has a sinus infection, but has decided to give it a go. The Celtics are starting Marcus Morris over Baynes against Orlando. Baynes doesn't have much appeal regardless, but he won't be worth a look on Sunday. He's not a […]

Mario Chalmers, Andrew Harrison, Ben McLemore Are Questionable

Memphis Grizzlies guards Mario Chalmers (shoulder), Andrew Harrison (shoulder) and Ben McLemore (knee) have all been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Chandler Parsons (illness, knee) and James Ennis (calf) have already been ruled out for this contest. It's looking like Memphis is going to be short-handed for this game. Tyreke […]

Rodney Hood Questionable on Saturday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (leg) is questionable to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. He suffered a lower leg contusion during Friday's contest and did not return to the game. Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles saw significant bumps in playing time with Hood on the sidelines. Hood does find himself on the […]

Andre Iguodala Out on Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (calf) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The injuries continue to pile up for Iggy this season.

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (personal) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has already been ruled out, but now Milwaukee is even weaker with the loss of Brogdon. Khris Middleton will see plenty of playing time without Brogdon. Sean Kilpatrick and Sterling Brown will see extra playing time as […]

Jerryd Bayless Ruled Out Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Timothe Luwawu will replace Bayless in the starting lineup on Saturday. It's surprising the Sixers gave the start to TLC over T.J. McConnell. Regardless, both players will see significant minutes with Bayless, J.J. Redick (leg) and Markelle Fultz (shoulder) […]

Tyler Johnson Out on Saturday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He left Monday's game with a sprained ankle and has missed each of the last two contests. He visited a specialist on Thursday that confirmed the original diagnosis. It appears to be just a sprained left ankle, so […]

Brandon Ingram is Questionable on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Kyle Kuzma (head) has been cleared to play, but Ingram is likely headed towards a game-time decision on Friday. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's contest and did not return to the game. Josh Hart's minutes and value […]

Rudy Gobert Will Start Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (knee) will start on Friday against the New York Knicks. He's going to be dealing with a minutes limit, but it's great news that he's available to play. Gobert has been out for quite some time, so it could take a few games before he's back to full speed. Derrick […]

Jamal Murray Questionable Against Suns

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) is questionable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. He's likely headed towards a game-time decision on Friday, but it depends on if he can clear the concussion protocol. He missed Wednesday's game with the Clippers after suffering a blow to the head in Tuesday's contest. If Murray […]

Derrick Jones Expected to Start on Friday

Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones is expected to start on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out, and Jones received the start for him on Wednesday. Jones played 22 minutes, scoring five points with one rebound, one assist and one steal. Wayne Ellington is likely going to benefit more […]

D'Angelo Russell is Available on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) is available to play against the Miami Heat on Friday. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said he looked good at shooaround on Wednesday and was getting closer to a return. He's officially available to play on Friday, but will be working with a minutes limit. He's likely going to be […]

Marc Gasol is Expected to Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (illness) is expected to play against the Sacramento Kings on Friday. He participated in shootaround and is on track to rejoin the starting five. Gasol was a late scratch on Wednesday, but it would be surprising to see him on the sidelines Friday. Deyonta Davis and Jarell Martin will lose […]

Avery Bradley is 50/50 on Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) has a "50/50" chance of playing against the Washington Wizards on Friday, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. He reportedly headed back to Philadelphia after Wednesday's game to see a specialist about treatment for his groin issue. Reggie Bullock (illness), Luke Kennard (thumb), and Stanley Johnson (hip) are […]

Jordan Bell Out At Least Two Weeks

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) has been ruled out for at least two weeks. Bell was on crutches and in a walking boot following Wednesday's game with the Chicago Bulls. The MRI revealed a sprain and Bell will be forced to miss multiple games. He's confident about returning this season, but owners may […]

T.J. Warren Expects to Start Friday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (back) is expected to rejoin the starting lineup on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. He practiced on Wednesday and is on track to return after a two-game absence. Marquese Chriss will not play and has been ruled out of action for Friday. Josh Jackson will lose some minutes and […]

Marquese Chriss Ruled Out Friday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark the fourth straight game without Chriss, and it's unclear when he'll be back on the court. Owners should try hanging onto him because he does have promising upside when healthy. Dragan Bender figures to draw […]

Lance Stephenson is Questionable Against Blazers

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (illness) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. He was left at the team hotel during shootaround and is likely headed towards a game-time decision against the Blazers. Stephenson has been more of an option in deeper leagues but has put together multiple double-double performances over […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Smart and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday and are both questionable heading into Thursday's contest with the Sixers. The Celtics could be thin at guard if both of them are unable to play. Terry Rozier, Shane […]

Kyrie Irving Questionable Against Sixers

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He did not practice on Wednesday and also played a season-high 41 minutes in Tuesday's loss to New Orleans. Irving has a 35.4 field goal percentagge over his last five games, so a night off wouldn't be the worst […]

Nene Hilario Expected to Return Thursday

Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario (knee) is expected to return against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. He's missed the last six games with a knee issue, but has a good chance of returning against the Wolves. There should be official confirmation closer to game time, but Nene doesn't offer much value in fantasy hoops. His […]

James Harden Will Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Head coach Mike D'Antoni expects Harden to play 24-25 minutes. Harden missed seven games and hasn't played since December 31, so it's not surprising to see him with a minutes limit. Gerald Green will be serving […]

Derrick Rose is Probable on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is probable to play against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. Rose believes he'll be able to play on Thursday, but wants to test his ankle in shootaround before making a final decision. Guard Iman Shumpert (knee) has been ruled out, but that won't benefit Rose too much. As […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Green says his shoulder feels fine, so expect him to be ready to play on Saturday against the Houston Rockets. Jordan Bell is expected to draw the start on Wednesday. Green being sidelined means more minutes for […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Expected to Return Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Jeff Hornacek hinted on Tuesday that THJ could be returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday. Lance Thomas would head back to the second unit with THJ returning to the lineup. Michael […]

Frank Kaminsky is Probable Against Wizards

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He tweaked his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Detroit Pistons. It looks like he might not need to miss any time, but owners should check back closer to game time. If Kaminsky […]

DeAndre Jordan is Questionable on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. He's missed two games in a row and is likely headed towards another game on the sidelines. Head coach Doc Rivers said he'd be surprised to see Jordan return before the weekend. Backup center Willie Reed […]

T.J. Warren and Marquese Chriss Ruled Out

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (back) and forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) have been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both players were listed as questionable heading into Tuesday but will be sidelined for the contest. Josh Jackson is expected to start for Warren and will be a solid DFS option […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Russell did not practice on Tuesday, but will participate in Wednesday's shootaround. He's close to getting back on the court, and his next chance to play will be Friday against the Miami Heat. Allen Crabbe may […]
