Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Be Sidelined Through All-Star Break

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is going to be out until at least after the All-Star break.

This team is going nowhere fast, so they've decided to let Gilgeous-Alexander rest through the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should be... Read More

Fred Vanvleet Cleared To Play Versus Heat

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He has missed each of the last two games due to a right knee issue.

James Harden Uncertain Against Warriors

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has been cleared from his hamstring injury, but this right hand issue is new. It's unclear where Harden picked up the injury, but he'll likely test it out pregame before making a final decision. Patty Mills... Read More

De'Aaron Fox Ruled Out Against Sixers

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his fourth game in a row while he continues to deal with an ankle injury. Tyrese Haliburton will continue to see increased usage and a majority of the ball-handling responsibilities. He'll be a strong streaming... Read More

Seth Curry Will Return Against Kings

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He had missed each of the last four games while dealing with a left ankle injury. There's a chance he's somewhat limited during his first game back on the court. Curry has some streaming appeal and he could be a... Read More

Chimezie Metu Available Saturday

Sacramento Kings center Chimezie Metu (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will return after missing each of the last two games due to left knee soreness. Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley III are healthy, so Metu won't have a ton of fantasy appeal on Saturday. Metu is not worth... Read More

Will Barton Downgraded To Out

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was expected to play, but will sit this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. The Pelicans are missing multiple key players, so the Nuggets appear to be playing it safe here.

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is expected to play during Friday's game, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Sabonis has missed each of the last four games, but it sounds like he'll return against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.

He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but managed to play during their last contest as well. Danilo Gallinari (eye) will be on the court as well during Friday's game. That means, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Lou Williams... Read More

Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Play Versus Heat

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. It's a shame that Oubre won't get to follow up his 39-point performance on Wednesday.

Jimmy Butler Expects To Play On Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) will warm up with the intention to play on Friday, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra.

Read More

Christian Wood Questionable Against Blazers

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (head) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wood is reportedly dealing with a migraine, so the team might wait until pregame warmups to make a final decision. Alperen Sengun has been playing well for the Rockets this season and continues to gain momentum. He's... Read More

James Harden Practices On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) was able to get through practice on Friday. Head coach Steve Nash confirmed that Harden will be available for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) and guard Russell Westbrook (knee) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Davis injured his wrist during Thursday's game and briefly checked out of the game. Luckily, he returned and continued to play well, but apparently the wrist issue is still bothering him. Dwight... Read More

LeBron James Could Sit Out Against Hornets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to left knee soreness.

De'Andre Hunter Might Play Against Celtics

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday due to back discomfort, but played in the contest. Bogdan Bogdanovic would likely be asked to slide into the starting five, assuming Hunter sits out. He'd have more streaming appeal and... Read More

Jonas Valanciunas Could Sit Out Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out the last contest for rest purposes and it's worth noting he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes should be asked to soak up the minutes, assuming Valanciunas is unable... Read More

Jarred Vanderbilt Might Sit Against Suns

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Vanderbilt has been playing excellent lately, so it'd be a shame to see him sit out here. He's snagged at least eight rebounds and averaging 3.3 steals over his last four games. There is plenty of streaming appeal... Read More

D'Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards D'Angelo Russell (shin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Russell suffered a left shin contusion during Thursday's game and it's unclear how significant it is.

Elijah Mitchell Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was able to get in a limited session during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as the team is likely just managing his reps.

Jeff Wilson Jr. Limited During Thursday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. He is recovering from an ankle injury he suffered during last week's Divisional Round. The 49ers are hopeful he can play this weekend versus the Los Angeles Rams. However, Wilson doesn't offer much fantasy value with... Read More

Van Jefferson Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) was able to suit up for practice on Thursday. He was limited during this session, but is on track to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Last week, Jefferson had two receptions for 29 yards during the Divisional Round victory. It sounds like Jefferson is... Read More

Andrew Whitworth Fully Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) was upgraded to full during Thursday's practice. The four-time Pro Bowl tackle is expected to return after sitting out the Divisional Round. His replacement Joe Noteboom (chest) played well in his absence, but also suffered an injury last week. Having Whitworth back on the offensive line would... Read More

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out For Friday's Contest

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ayton continues to sit out due to a lingering right ankle sprain, but hopefully he can return soon.

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out Versus Grizzlies

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a left calf strain on Sunday and now will miss his third straight game because of it.

Donovan Mitchell Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has missed each of the last five games due to a concussion. Mitchell didn't travel with the team for Friday's contest, so the chances of him suiting up seem unlikely. Joe Ingles would shift back to the... Read More

Kevin Porter Jr. Doesn't Practice Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) did not participate during Thursday's practice. Despite that, head coach Stephen Silas expects Porter to be available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Patrick Beverley Unlikely To Play Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game, according to head coach Chris Finch. Fantasy managers should expect Beverley to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain.
