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 […]

Eric Paschall Out On Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Eric Paschall (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He hasn't exactly been much of a fantasy option this season. It's uncertain how long he'll be absent due to this personal matter. In the meantime, Rudy Gay and Royce O'Neale should be asked to pick up […]

Ty Jerome Moves Into Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He will replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) who hopefully won't miss too much time. The Thunder haven't won a game when Gilgeous-Alexander sits out. Regardless, Jerome will start alongside Luguentz Dort, Paul Watson, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah […]

Elfrid Payton Won't Play Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Payton is back in protocols after coming back on Monday. He didn't exactly have a huge role when healthy anyway. Cameron Payne will see more minutes in his absence. He could be a low-end streaming option, but there […]

Terrence Ross Won't Play Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has cleared the COVID-19 protocols, but he needs to continue ramping up his conditioning. His next chance to play would be on Sunday, so fantasy managers should check back then. In the meantime, Gary Harris will continue getting […]

Jimmy Butler Remains Out Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. His absence now brings the Heat to seven active players for this contest. They must bring players from their G-League organization up in order to have enough to play on Wednesday. However, none of them are expected […]

Cole Anthony Not Playing Against Bucks

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He appears to have re-aggravated his ankle injury last week and has missed the last three games. Hopefully, this is the organization being cautious and waiting until Anthony is back to full strength again. In the meantime, Hassani […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Available On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He has missed each of the last three games while dealing with a hamstring strain. That being said, the Bulls might limit Jones during his first game back. The Hawks are extremely shorthanded, so they might not need much […]

Kevin Durant Expected To Play Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge plan to play in this contest, according to head coach Steve Nash. That being said, Bruce Brown should see his value take a significant hit. Patty Mills won't see as much usage either, which is […]

KZ Okpala Unavailable For Wednesday

Miami Heat forward KZ Okpala (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Heat reportedly signed guard Kyle Guy, but that still only puts their team to seven active players. Miami needs to get another active player by game time or this contest will be postponed. Tyler Hero and […]

Kemba Walker Expected To Play Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's the second leg of a back-to-back set, which normally means that Walker sits out. However, it sounds like the All-Star guard will play on Wednesday. The Knicks are without Derrick Rose (ankle) and […]

John Konchar Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Memphis Grizzlies guard John Konchar has entered the league's health and safety protocols. He marks the fifth player on this roster to enter protocols. The Grizzlies are desperately lacking depth on the wings right now. Desmond Bane is looking like a must-have fantasy option lately. Kyle Anderson is quickly picking up value with the Grizzlies […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Remains Unavailable On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He continues to sit out due to protocols and has missed each of the last four games. This absence will make it his fifth straight, but hopefully he can be cleared to return soon. Sterling Brown and Frank […]

Jonas Valanciunas Returns On Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) is back in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return shifts Willy Hernangomez back to the bench. He won't have much streaming appeal here, so he can be […]

Garrett Temple Starting On Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Garrett Temple will slide into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brandon Ingram (Achilles) remains out of the lineup, which leads to another start for Temple. He dropped 22 points during the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. There is some low-end streaming appeal and […]

Caleb Martin Slides Into Starting Five

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Max Strus is in protocols, so Martin will be asked to step up in his absence. Martin dropped 17 points during Sunday's contest, so there is some streaming appeal there. Fantasy managers should check and see if […]

Patrick Beverley Moved Into Starting Five

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley will join the starting five for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran guard is back in action after sitting out over a week due to protocols. His return was expected to push Jordan McLaughlin to the bench, but he'll actually remain in the starting five. Jaylen Nowell […]

Malcolm Brogdon Uncertain For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He is likely to miss back-to-back games while nursing an Achilles issue. Chris Duarte would likely be asked to make another start, assuming Brogdon is unavailable to play. Caris LeVert would be asked to do more on offense […]

Nicolas Batum Listed As Out For Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He is one of seven players on this roster that won't suit up for this contest. The fact Batum was ruled out a full day in advance is not a good sign. Fantasy managers should consider him […]

Robin Lopez To Start On Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Robin Lopez will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has played 16 minutes over the last two games. Although, Lopez is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in four starts this season. That being said, Lopez sounds like he'll be a […]

Josh Richardson Cleared For Wednesday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson has cleared health and safety protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed each of the four games while sitting out due to protocols. That being said, Richardson could be limited due to conditioning concerns during his first game back. Fantasy managers in season long […]

Dennis Schroder Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. He was first announced to be out with protocols on December 25, but it appears he has cleared it quickly. It sounds like Schroder will be ready to go for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Payton Pritchard and Romeo Langford […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Lands In COVID-19 Protocols

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. He'll be joined by Gorgui Dieng and Malik Ellison to make 13 players for Atlanta in protocols. The Hawks currently have eight active players available for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Cam Reddish will see is workload increase and […]

Anthony Edwards Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. However, he'll still need to regain his conditioning before getting back on the court. In the meantime, Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell would continue to have solid roles in the rotation. Nowell is coming off a 29-point game, but Beasley might be […]

Darius Garland Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been placed in protocols the same day that the Cavs are expected to get forward Evan Mobley back. This is a tough blow to the Cavs since Garland has been playing at an All-Star level this […]

Evan Mobley Hopeful To Play On Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley is hopeful to suit up for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has sat out the last 10 days due to protocols, but has a chance of playing here. It's uncertain if the team plans to limit Mobley at all, assuming he does return. Kevin Love would lose […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable For Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He continues to build up his conditioning after being sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Jordan McLaughlin started last game and finished with six rebounds and 10 assists. Sadly, most of his streaming appeal will disappear once […]

Pascal Siakam Upgraded To Probable

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It sounds like he will return to the court after being sidelined due to protocols. Yuta Watanabe will take a hit in value after turning in a wonderful performance his last time out. There could still be some […]

Mike Gesicki Finishes With 22 Yards

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been an inconsistent fantasy option lately. That trend continued versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Gesicki hauled in three of his four targets for 22 yards in the win. He finished second on the team in targets, but that doesn't mean too much considering the Dolphins […]
