Khem Birch Available Against Bulls

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (nose) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has not appeared in a game since January 14 and underwent nose surgery. His return will impact the fantasy value of Chris Boucher, and Precious Achiuwa. It's uncertain how big of a role Birch will have […]

Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder Available On Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and forward Jae Crowder (wrist) are available for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players were able to play on Tuesday without any issues. They should resume their normal roles without any limitations on Thursday. Bismack Biyombo and Cameron Johnson will be impacted the most by Ayton and […]

LeBron James Doubtful Versus Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise as James is expected to miss additional time due to a swollen knee. Stanley Johnson is expected to remain in the starting five, but doesn't have great streaming appeal. Instead, […]

Darius Garland Misses Thursday's Practice

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) was unable to participate in Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last two games due to back soreness. There's a good chance that he sits out again on Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. Brandon Goodwin played well as the starter last game. He'd be worth a look […]

Zach LaVine Cleared On Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) has been cleared to play on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors. He was downgraded earlier in the day due to back spasms, but will make his return to the court here. He should resume his normal role in the starting five and there is no word on LaVine being […]

Dejounte Murray Ruled Out For Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He was previously tagged as questionable due to a left wrist sprain, but the Spurs will play it safe here. Derrick White should see a spike in usage with Murray off the court. That means, White is […]

De'Aaron Fox Questionable Against Warriors

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fox has missed each of the last six games, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sit again here. Tyrese Haliburton has been fantastic in his absence and Davion Mitchell has stepped up as well. Both […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the fourth game in a row that Russell has missed due to a left shin contusion. Patrick Beverley is expected to move into the starting five and have an increased role. Anthony Edwards should see more […]

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Sidelined At Least Six Weeks

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) is not expected to take the court anytime soon. He missed Wednesday's game with what the team believed was a sprained right foot. In fact, Robinson-Earl suffered a broken third metatarsal, which will sideline him for at least six weeks. The organization will re-evaluate the rookie forward after […]

Cade Cunningham Not Available On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered a right hip pointer during Tuesday's contest. The Pistons are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void of Cunningham. Cory Joseph, Killian Hayes, Frank Jackson, and Hamidou Diallo are all players who could […]

Anthony Davis To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It seems normal for Davis to be listed as probable, but there was really no doubt in his status here. He looked fine during their last contest and shouldn't be limited at all on Wednesday. LeBron James (knee) […]

Jimmy Butler Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was able to play 40 minutes on Tuesday and didn't seem to have any issues. Fantasy managers are hopeful Butler is able to play, but you never know with him. Tyler Herro, Max Strus, and Gabe […]

De'Aaron Fox Remains Sidelined Against Nets

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This marks the sixth game in a row that Fox has missed due to left ankle soreness. Possibly, the Kings are playing it safe and holding out Fox until the All-Star break. Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell have […]

Isaiah Jackson Exits Early On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was a bust for anyone who trusted him in fantasy formats on Wednesday. He exited the game within the first minute due to a right ankle sprain. He was unable to return to Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is a tough blow considering Jackson was the only […]

Udoka Azubuike Starting On Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Udoka Azubuike will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Rudy Gobert (calf) and Hassan Whiteside (back) will both be sidelined for this contest. Luckily for Azubuike, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic (toe) is sitting out on Wednesday. That being said, Azubuike has a chance to actually make […]

Jordan Clarkson Ruled Out For Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Jazz are without a number of their key players for this matchup. That being said, Mike Conley should run the offense with Jared Butler and Trent Forest (ankle) having increased roles. Conley is already looking like an […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Jazz

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He'll join Nikola Jokic (toe) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) on the sideline. That being said, JaMychal Green and Jeff Green should have plenty of streaming appeal with the Nuggets shorthanded. Will Barton should be the primary scoring option […]

Nikola Jokic Out On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets have decided to rest the reigning MVP against the beat up Jazz roster. Udoka Azubuike is starting at center for Utah, so they decided to be cautious with Jokic. DeMarcus Cousins (foot) is sidelined as well, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Likely To Play Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like there's a good chance Nurkic returns to his normal role here, which is great considering the Blazers are shorthanded. Trendon Watford and Greg Brown III would basically lose all their fantasy appeal, assuming […]

Hassan Whiteside Questionable For Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's a new addition to the injury report, which is not good news with Rudy Gobert (calf) already ruled out. Whiteside has been playing well in Gobert's absence and is a decent fantasy option, assuming he plays. Otherwise, […]

Deandre Ayton Returning Against Nets

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will make his return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Ayton and Jae Crowder (wrist) are returning here after missing multiple games. Bismack Biyombo will lose most of his streaming appeal with Ayton back in the starting five. It's uncertain if Ayton will be […]

Cade Cunningham Unlikely To Return On Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is considered doubtful to return for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a right hip pointer injury during the third quarter. He would eventually return to the bench, but it doesn't appear that he's going to check in again. Cory Joseph and Rodney McGruder would likely […]

De'Aaron Fox Uncertain For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last five games due to left ankle soreness. Tyrese Haliburton and Davion Mitchell have been picking up the slack in the absence of Fox. Haliburton should be rostered in most fantasy formats, […]

James Harden Officially Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hand) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He will return to the court here after a two-game absence. Hopefully, the right hand issue is behind him, so Harden's production won't be impacted by it. DeAndre' Bembry should head to the second unit with Cam […]

Nikola Jokic Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) has been cleared to play for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It doesn't sound like right toe soreness is going to be enough to stop the reigning MVP. Possibly, the Nuggets are a bit cautious with him if this game becomes a blowout. Zeke Nnaji or JaMychal Green […]

D'Angelo Russell Officially Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as doubtful earlier, so it's not shocking to see Russell sitting this one out. Luckily, Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been cleared to play, so he should shift back into the starting five. Jordan McLaughlin and […]

Patrick Beverley Cleared To Play

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a right ankle issue. Jordan McLaughlin or Malik Beasley will likely head to the bench with Beverley returning. However, […]

Brandon Ingram Available On Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a right ankle injury. His return should shift Garrett Temple to the bench and possibly mean less minutes for Herbert Jones. […]

Aaron Holiday Starting Against Bucks

Washington Wizards guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss multiple games, so Holiday could see a few games in the starting five. Holiday is averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 assists as a starter this season. He's not an elite […]

Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert Miss Tuesday's Practice

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and center Rudy Gobert (calf) were both unable to practice on Tuesday. Mitchell has missed each of the last seven games and doesn't have a return in sight. Joe Ingles (knee) was starting in his place, but suffered a torn ACL, so his season is over. Jared Butler could […]
