Ricky Rubio To Make Season Debut On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (knee) is set to make his season debut against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

Gary Payton II Available For Thursday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Payton II (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As expected, Payton will be on the court for this game despite dealing with a lingering ankle issue. He played 15 minutes in their last game, but didn't bring much to the table. Shaedon Sharpe and Keon Johnson […]

Reggie Bullock Moves Into Starting Five

Dallas Mavericks guard Reggie Bullock will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rest of the starting unit will remain unchanged from Tuesday's contest. In a corresponding move, Dwight Powell (hip) heads to the bench despite being cleared to play. There is no word on Powell being limited, […]

Joe Harris To Start On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The veteran sharpshooter will look to help fill the void while Kevin Durant (knee) is sidelined. In 18 starts, Harris is averaging 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists this season. He is certainly worth a look as […]

Bobby Portis Moves Into Starting Five

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis will slide into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The Bucks will have both Portis and MarJon Beauchamp start during this game. This roster is shorthanded with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Joe Ingles (knee) and Grayson Allen (ankle) all out. That being said, Portis is expected to […]

Jaylin Williams To Play On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams (ankle) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

That being said, Williams won't […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (toe) is considered questionable for Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 23-year-old has been dealing with a lingering toe issue for awhile now. He continues to play through the issue, so fantasy managers should expect him to play unless he suffers a setback. He has been limited […]

Christian McCaffrey Removed From Injury Report

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Huntley was also limited on Wednesday, but he did resume throwing on Thursday, which is good news for the organization.

Kelly Olynyk To Miss At Least One Week

Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will miss at least one week of action. The 31-year-old missed Tuesday's game and it appears this won't be a one-game absence. The organization is going to shut him down for a week while Olynyk recovers from his sprained left ankle. Walker Kessler should continue to start, while Olynyk […]

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 32-year-old has been sidelined for roughly a week due to hamstring soreness. It doesn't sound like Hayward is ready to return yet, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to suit up on Thursday. In the meantime, Jalen McDaniels […]

Grayson Allen Won't Return On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 27-year-old suffered a right ankle sprain, which forced him to exit after the first half. He finished the game with six points, two rebounds, and two assists. Both Joe Ingles and MarJo Beauchamp will […]

Cameron Johnson Does 1-On-1 Work

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (knee) has been able to do 1-on-1 work, according to head coach Monty Williams.

The organization hasn't given a timetable for his return, but it sounds like Johnson is making progress. […]

Damian Lillard Questionable For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The superstar guard has been playing big minutes lately, so he could use a day off. That being said, his absence would leave a big hole in the rotation. Anfernee Simons would likely be asked to move […]

Patrick Beverley Tagged As Questionable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley (illness, hip) is currently listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was forced to exit early during Monday's game and sat out of Wednesday's practice. It sounds like the illness is what kept Beverley out of practice on Wednesday. That being said, fantasy managers are […]

Anthony Edwards Won't Return On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The young guard has been battling through left hip soreness the last few games.

LeBron James Expected To Play On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Max Christie would head […]

Kevin Huerter Won't Suit Up Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Malik Monk should remain as the […]

Landry Shamet Ruled Out For Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This hurts with the Suns already shorthanded for this contest. The team is without Deandre Ayton, Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and Shamet for Tuesday's contest. The expectation is that Damion Lee or Josh Okogie would move into […]

Jusuf Nurkic To Suit Up On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. As expected, Nurkic will suit up despite him dealing with a non-COVID related illness.

Malik Beasley Gets The Starting Nod On Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Malik Beasley will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This move isn't injury related, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned. Head coach Will Hardy is playing matchups, so Jarred Vanderbilt will come off the bench for at least this game. Beasley is worth a look as […]

Kelly Olynyk Likely To Miss Multiple Games

Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, it sounds like Olynyk is likely to miss more than one game due to his sprained left ankle.

Gary Payton II Available On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Payton II (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has been cleared to play after sitting out of Sunday's contest due to a sprained right ankle. Shaedon Sharpe and Keon Johnson will see less playing time with Payton back in the rotation.
