LaMelo Ball Available Against Celtics

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was unable to play on Monday due to a non-COVID related illness. Kelly Oubre Jr. will rejoin the rotation as well on Wednesday. He has missed the last four games while following the league's health and safety guidelines. […]

Gary Trent Jr. Sitting Out Against Mavericks

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This marks the sixth game in a row that Trent has missed due to left ankle swelling. It's uncertain when Trent will be able to get back on the court. He has attempted to warm up pregame, […]

Maxi Kleber, Reggie Bullock Active On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (knee) and guard Reggie Bullock (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. However, neither player is expected to bring much to the table in this game. Kristaps Porzingis is back, which means Kleber won't be a recommended streaming option. Bullock normally gets significant playing time, but doesn't […]

CJ Elleby, Dennis Smith Jr. Available On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guards CJ Elleby (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The Blazers are finally getting healthy, so neither of these players have too much value. Elleby is likely only going to play minutes in the teens going forward. Smith has shown flashes during […]

Devonte' Graham Uncertain For Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He hasn't looked the same lately and continues struggling with his shot. Graham has been dealing with left ankle soreness, so possibly that's why he is struggling from the floor. His absence would likely be filled […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Play Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to get through Wednesday's practice, so the team has ruled him out a full day in advance. JaVale McGee should be asked to make another start with Bismack Biyombo getting more playing time. Right now, […]

Kelly Olynyk Likely To Play Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is expected to play during Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has not suited up for a game since November 10, so there could be some rust. It'll be interesting to see how Olynyk fits back into the rotation after all this time. Trey Lyles has been playing […]

Killian Hayes Doubtful For Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hip) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a right hip contusion during Tuesday's contest. He was only able to play nine minutes in that contest before exiting and not returning. It sounds like the Pistons are likely to take the cautious approach here. […]

Chase Edmonds Makes Minimal Impact

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds failed to create much noise against the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed eight times for 28 yards in Monday's Wild Card round loss. Edmonds entered the season as the main option, but that quickly changed. James Conner took advantage of his chances and finished with a career-high 15 touchdowns. […]

Christian Kirk Snags Six Receptions In Loss

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk saw an increased role with the team over the final month of the season. The Cardinals were without DeAndre Hopkins (knee) which meant Kirk became the No. 1 option for this team. Kirk did what he could versus the Los Angeles Rams during their Wild Card matchup on Monday. […]

Mason Rudolph Could Become Starter In 2022

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has likely taken his last snap in the NFL. The organization is under the assumption that the 40-year-old quarterback won't return in 2022. That being said, Mason Rudolph would be the next option in line. He is currently signed through the 2022 season. It appears Rudolph is in line to […]

Deshaun Watson Not Expected To Play For Texans Again

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is unlikely to suit up for the organization again, according to general manager Nick Caserio. Watson sat out the entire 2021 season due to the fact he faces more than 20 lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. That being said, the price for Watson is uncertain due to this ongoing legal situation. […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Available On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Trent attempted to warm up for this contest, but the swelling in his left ankle continues to bother him. That means, Trent will miss his fifth straight game, but seems closer to a return. Fred VanVleet and […]

Duncan Robinson Moves Into Starting Lineup

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kyle Lowry (personal) will be unavailable for this contest, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. His absence should mean more minutes for Robinson, Strus, and possibly Caleb Martin. Robinson is a shaky fantasy option due […]

Bam Adebayo Will Play Against Raptors

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) will make his return to the court on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. He has been sidelined since November 29 due to a right thumb injury. It's uncertain if the Heat plan to ease Adebayo back into action. Regardless, fantasy managers in season long formats can go ahead and […]

Carmelo Anthony Tagged As Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed each of the last two games due to lower back tightness. The Lakers might take the cautious approach here and let Anthony have another night off to fully recover. Talen Horton-Tucker, and Trevor Ariza […]

Scottie Barnes Removed From Injury Report

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He was rested on Saturday, but Barnes should be back in action here. His return should push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Precious Achiuwa won't have as big of a role with […]

Jerami Grant Likely To Miss Road Trip

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (thumb) is unlikely to return to the team during their four-game road trip. Grant was assigned to the Pistons G-League affiliate on Monday. He will continue to rehab there after undergoing right thumb surgery earlier in the season. Once Grant returns, Hamidou Diallo is expected to shift back to the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Will Attempt To Play

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) will warm up and see if he can play against the Miami Heat on Monday. He has missed each of the last four games due to a left ankle issue. The Raptors could certainly use Trent back on the floor, but fantasy managers will have to wait and […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He tweaked his ankle on Sunday and was unable to return to action. The Suns are going to take the cautious approach here and let Ayton rest. His next chance to get on the court will be […]

Cameron Johnson Likely Returning Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are expected to ease him back into his role. That being said, it's unlikely that Johnson has much fantasy appeal […]

Bam Adebayo Hopeful For Monday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Adebayo has been targeting Monday as his return date after a lengthy absence. In fact, Adebayo has been sidelined since November 29 due to a thumb injury. Fantasy managers should expect Adebayo to be on a minutes limit […]

Norman Powell Not Available Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has cleared from the league's health and safety protocols. However, Powell needs to regain his conditioning, so he'll sit out at least one more game. That means that Ben McLemore and Nassir Little should carry plenty of […]

Hassan Whiteside Won't Play On Monday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside will not suit up for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been sidelined due January 10 due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when he'll get back on the court, but he didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway. Robert Gobert is […]

George Hill Starting Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's not exactly the most attractive DFS option, but is worth a look on Monday. The Bucks don't have a ton of options, so Hill should play minutes into the 30s versus Atlanta. He could be a […]

Onyeka Okongwu Starts On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Clint Capela (ankle) remains sidelined, so Okongwu gets a shot in the starting lineup. He should be worth snagging in most formats as a streaming option right now. Okongwu will play roughly 30 minutes or so with […]

Rudy Gobert Returns For Sunday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert will return for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert has missed each of the last four games while following the league's health and safety protocols. He has finally cleared protocols and can return to action against Nikola Jokic on Sunday. This is huge for the Jazz who desperately needed […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play Against Knicks

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. This is not a good sign with the Hawks already shorthanded for Saturday's game. Kevin Huerter, Danilo Gallinari (Achilles), and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will all see increased roles with Bogdanovic out. Gallinari is a little banged up, but […]

Derrick White Will Play Versus Clippers

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White will be available for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, so he'll be available on Saturday. Although, head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned White could come off the bench and have a minutes limit. That being said, he might not […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out Versus Knicks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Capela will miss his fourth game in a row due to an ankle issue. Onyeka Okongwu should move into the starting five again with Capela sidelined. He could have some deep league appeal, but hasn't […]
