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 […]

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 […]
