Zach LaVine Will Play on Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. LaVine was listed as probable after missing Wednesday's practice due to a sore ankle. However, it's just a minor issue and LaVine is fine going forward. He shouldn't be limited and fantasy owners can feel safe about using him.

Russell Westbrook Might Sit in Back-to-Back Set

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook could be looking at sitting out in one of the upcoming back-to-back games. The Rockets play on Friday against the Pacers and then Saturday versus the Timberwolves. They've already sat Westbrook once for rest, so it wouldn't be surprising if it happens again. More information should be known on Friday,... Read More

Goran Dragic is Fine for Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (illness) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dragic and Tyler Herro (ankle) were listed as questionable going in, but both are cleared to play here. Justise Winslow (head) is sidelined, so Herro and Dragic will see more time and have some DFS appeal.

Tyler Herro Will Play on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both Herro and Goran Dragic (illness) were listed as questionable going into this one. Herro will play, but the return of Jimmy Butler has hurt his value. However, Justise Winslow (head) being sidelined might give Herro a little boost... Read More

Goga Bitadze Will Return on Friday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (head) will return to the court for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed the last three games due to a concussion, but is ready to play again.

Danuel House is Doubtful for Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's looking like Friday is going to be the second straight game that House misses.

Nicolas Batum is Not Expected to Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (finger) is not expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He fractured his middle finger on October 24 and hasn't played since then.

Patrick Beverley Ruled Out Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will be cautious here. It's just a sore calf, so Beverley is expected to only miss one game. Lou Williams should see a boost in... Read More

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will sit out against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will rest Leonard. Paul George (shoulder) is making his season debut, so he'll be asked to carry the load on offense without Leonard available.

Paul George Expected to Make Season Debut Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) is expected to make his regular season debut against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. George has been out for the first few weeks of the season while rehabbing his shoulder injury. Kawhi Leonard (rest) won't suit up for Thursday's contest. George could be on a minutes limit,... Read More

Dwayne Bacon is Probable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Dwayne Bacon (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Bacon didn't play on Wednesday and was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice.

Kevin Huerter is Out Indefinitely

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury. Head coach Lloyd Pierce said "it's going to take some time" for Huerter to get back on the court. The MRI didn't reveal a tear, but the Hawks will remain cautious. Cam Reddish and Deandre Bembry will get boosted... Read More

Kyrie Irving is Probable for Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, the Nets might play it safe, so fantasy owners shouldn't plug him in just yet. Spencer Dinwiddie would be looking at heavy minutes without Irving and be a popular DFS option. More information should be known about... Read More

Robert Williams, Daniel Theis Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics centers Robert Williams (ankle) and Daniel Theis (finger) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Both players are dealing with lingering injuries, so they will sit out. Enes Kanter will see all the minutes he can handle and should be a reliable DFS option. Grant Williams and Vincent Poirier... Read More

Charlotte Hornets guard Dwayne Bacon (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bacon tweaked his right knee on Sunday and it swelled up on him.

Brandon Ingram Could Play on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) has been listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ingram hyperextended his right knee during Saturday's game. He sat out on Monday because of it and is still clearly feeling the pain. Ingram was wearing a knee brace during Wednesday's practice, so... Read More

Anthony Davis Ruled Out on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (shoulder, ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Davis has been dealing with a nagging shoulder issue all season, but suffered a ribs injury on Tuesday. The Lakers don't really need him against the banged up Warriors. Kyle Kuzma is expected to move... Read More

Joel Embiid Will Rest on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's the first back-to-back set of the season for the Sixers and Embiid is sitting out.

Lonzo Ball Remains Out on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the third game in a row that Ball has missed due to a groin issue.

Justise Winslow, Derrick Jones Ruled Out for Thursday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) and forward Derrick Jones (hip) will not travel with the team to Cleveland for Thursday's game against the Cavs. Winslow is dealing with a concussion and will have to pass the league's protocol before playing. Jones will miss his third game in a row due to a hip issue.... Read More

Tyler Herro is Questionable Against Cavs

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Tuesday's game due to an ankle issue and could very well sit out again. Goran Dragic (illness) is questionable as well, so Kendrick Nunn could be looking at big minutes. He'd be a strong fantasy option... Read More

Goran Dragic Could Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hasn't missed a game this season, and the Heat will need him with Justise Winslow (head) already ruled out. Fantasy owners will have a better idea about his status after shootaround on Thursday. Kendrick Nunn would be... Read More

James Johnson Should Play on Thursday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Tuesday's game due to an illness, but should be fine for Thursday. Justise Winslow (concussion) and Derrick Jones (hip) will remain sidelined for this one. Johnson will carry short-term fantasy value while the Heat are banged... Read More

Hassan Whiteside is Probable for Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's dealing with a sprained right foot and only played 21 minutes against the Kings on Tuesday. The fact that it's a back-to-back set could be a factor too. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off... Read More

Mitchell Robinson is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's been out since November 6 after getting hit in the head during a game against the Pistons. Taj Gibson, Kevin Knox, and Bobby Portis will see more minutes until Robinson is back. Knox should have the... Read More

Iman Shumpert Signs with Nets

The Brooklyn Nets and guard Iman Shumpert have reportedly agreed to an NBA contract. Caris Levert (thumb) is expected to miss at least three weeks of action. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is a little banged up, so signing Shumpert makes sense. He should see some minutes off the bench, but won't be worth looking at in... Read More

Omari Spellman is Questionable Against Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward Omari Spellman (ankle) was able to go through shootaround, but is listed as questionable for Thursday's game. Spellman was unable to practice on Tuesday due to a left ankle injury. Marquese Chriss would gain minutes without Spellman on the court, but Chriss isn't much of a fantasy option regardless.

Zach LaVine is Unable to Practice on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday. It sounds like the team gave him the day off after he rolled his ankle on Tuesday. He's listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Fantasy owners shouldn't be worried because this injury sounds very minor. More... Read More
