Marcus Smart Active For Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) is listed as active for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a right hand laceration. The Celtics don't plan on having Smart under a minutes limit for Friday's game. He'll be asked to step up with both […]

Jalen Smith To Start On Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He nearly double-doubled on Monday and followed that up with 11 points and 14 rebounds on Wednesday. The Suns are without their main big men, so Smith has been asked to step up. He is making the most […]

Jarrett Allen Probable Against Hawks

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He has been sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. However, Allen has cleared those protocols and is working on his conditioning. His return is likely to come against a depleted Hawks team that has Clint […]

Joe Ingles Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has started each of the last two games while Donovan Mitchell (back) has been sidelined. It is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Jazz might decide to take the cautious approach here. They've already […]

Isaiah Thomas Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

Dallas Mavericks guard Isaiah Thomas has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This happens one day after Thomas signed a 10-day deal with the organization. He scored six points with four assists in 13 minutes during his Mavericks debut on Wednesday. He'll now join a long list of Mavericks players in protocols. Honestly, it's […]

Anfernee Simons Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons has entered the league's health and safety protocols. At first glance, the loss of Simons might not seem too significant. Although, he has been a consistent and capable option off the bench for Portland this season. His absence means Damian Lillard and Norman Powell are likely to take on […]

Reggie Jackson Uncertain For Friday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He cleared the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols ahead of Wednesday's game. However, Jackson sat out due to lack of conditioning, so hopefully he can suit up on Friday. He would immediately slide into the starting five, […]

Nicolas Batum Not Available For Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the third game in a row that Batum has missed due to an ankle issue. He didn't exactly have a huge role, but the Clippers are shorthanded and need everyone possible right now. Luke Kennard […]

Ivica Zubac Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This is certainly frustrating news with the Clippers already losing backup center Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) and many others due to protocols. That being said, Serge Ibaka is expected to move into the starting five now. He has been productive off the […]

Lou Williams Removed From Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran guard has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is allowed to return to the court. The Hawks are certainly happy to have Williams back since they've been destroyed by injuries and protocols. That being said, […]

Dennis Schroder Ruled Out For Friday

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He recently cleared COVID-19 protocols, but is headed right back into it. Luckily, Marcus Smart (hand) is no longer of the injury report and will see an extended role with Schroder sidelined. Smart will be a must-have option and […]

Austin Reaves Removed From Injury Report

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been ramping up his conditioning since being sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. The rookie guard has shown flashes of solid play, but not enough to warrant rostering in most […]

Avery Bradley Might Sit Out On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (head) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a head contusion during Wednesday's contest, but managed to play 33 minutes during that game. Bradley hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season, but has played significant minutes in the rotation. His […]

Shake Milton Available For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The young guard has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is allowed to return to action. Actually, Milton cleared COVID-19 protocols a few days ago, but has been building up his conditioning. His return could mean a slight decrease […]

Scottie Barnes Expected To Return On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes has cleared the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He returned to practice on Thursday alongside OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet. All three of them are hopeful to play on Friday. The return of Barnes means that Yuta Watanabe will lose most […]

Davis Bertans Uncertain For Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so at least fantasy managers don't have to worry about him going into protocols. Bertans has been heating up lately, but the Wizards tend to be cautious with their […]

Julius Randle Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. This a tough blow to the Knicks who are already shorthanded. Now, they will lose one of their best players to protocols. Luckily, Obi Toppin has looked strong lately and appears to be a capable backup. He has been […]

Malcolm Brogdon Lands In COVID-19 Protocols

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. He can't seem to catch a break since he was already dealing with an Achilles injury. Hopefully, this time off will give Brogdon enough time to heal his Achilles issue. He'll join Chris Duarte and Jeremy Lamb in protocols, so […]

Anthony Edwards Back To Practice On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was a full participant during Thursday's practice. He cleared the league's health and safety protocols days ago, but has been building back his conditioning. Edwards was held out of Tuesday's game, but has a chance at playing on Friday. That being said, Jaylen Nowell could be seeing his fantasy window […]

Frank Jackson Out At Least One Week

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (ankle) was forced out of action early during Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He suffered a right ankle injury and will be re-evaluated in roughly 7-10 days. This is a tough blow to Detroit who is already without a bunch of their playmakers. Cory Joseph should see increased […]

Evan Fournier Uncertain For Friday

New York Knicks guard Evan Fournier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is reportedly dealing with right ankle soreness, but will get Thursday off to rest. Fournier has had more upside lately with Julius Randle in COVID-19 protocols. Otherwise, Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley would be asked […]

Cassius Stanley Finishes Second Half

Detroit Pistons guard Cassius Stanley started during the second half of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Frank Jackson (ankle) suffered an injury in the first half and was unable to continue. Stanley is currently on a 10-day deal with Detroit. He finished with four points, four rebounds, and four steals during Wednesday's contest. […]

Andre Drummond, Shake Milton Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond and guard Shake Milton have both cleared the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Drummond was able to practice on Wednesday, but it normally takes a few days to get up your conditioning. That being said, Joel Embiid could be asked to take […]

Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) and guard Kyle Lowry are expected to play during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Both players were listed as out heading into Wednesday's game, which ended up getting postponed. That being said, the organization believes both Butler and Lowry will be ready in time for Friday's matchup. Fantasy managers […]

Aaron Gordon Uncertain For Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He missed Tuesday's game while nursing a left hamstring issue. The Nuggets could certainly use his help, but they also know that hamstring issues have a tendency to linger. That being said, Nikola Jokic and Will Barton […]

Jordan Poole Cleared For Thursday

Golden State Warriors guards Jordan Poole and Moses Moody have cleared the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Both players completed their quarantine period and are allowed to return. Poole is likely to move right back into the starting five, while Moody won't have much value off the […]

Reggie Bullock Not Available On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Reggie Bullock won't be available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He cleared the league's health and safety protocols on Tuesday, but is back in them after this game begins. That being said, Bullock won't be available, but Isaiah Thomas will make his debut for Dallas. Jalen Brunson and Josh Green […]

Isaiah Thomas Available On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Isaiah Thomas is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was just signed to a 10-day deal after Brandon Knight went into protocols earlier on Wednesday. Thomas was playing decent on the Los Angeles Lakers, so maybe he can make some noise in Dallas. The Mavericks don't exactly have many […]

Frank Jackson Exits Early On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (ankle) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He appeared to have suffered a right ankle injury during the second quarter. The Pistons already have a bunch of injuries, so hopefully this isn't anything significant. Cory Joseph, Justin Robinson, and Cassius Stanley should all […]

Davion Mitchell Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both Mitchell and Alex Len will be available for this contest. However, the majority of the Kings roster is healthy, which hurts the value of these two players. Len won't be on the fantasy radar, while […]
