JuJu Smith-Schuster Activated Off Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) has been activated off the injured reserve. He has missed the last three months while recovering from shoulder surgery. The assumption was that Smith-Schuster wouldn't play again this season. However, he will be available for Sunday's Wild Card matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 25-year-old hasn't practiced […]

Bam Adebayo Targeting Monday For Return

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is targeting Monday against the Toronto Raptors as a return date. It has been roughly six weeks since Adebayo last took the court. Luckily, Omer Yurtseven and Dewayne Dedmon have helped fill the void while Adebayo has been sidelined. Yurtseven is averaging 10.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals […]

Isaac Okoro To Return On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (elbow) will make his return to the court on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. He was expected to miss 2-3 weeks of action, but easily beat that timetable. The Cavs could certainly use his help with the roster being banged up with injuries. However, the Cavs are likely to […]

Keifer Sykes To Start On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Keifer Sykes will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is sitting out, which means Sykes will get an extended look. Duane Washington Jr. should see action as well, but Sykes is the better option between the two. Possibly, Sykes could be a punt […]

Kevin Huerter Will Play On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a left foot contusion, but will play through the issue here. Huerter should actually have increased value now that Cam Reddish is off the roster. He should get more minutes and plenty of shots coming his […]

Scottie Barnes Available For Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is back in the lineup after sitting out due to right knee soreness. His return will push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Chris Boucher likely won't play as many minutes anymore. That's a shame because Boucher was […]

Jimmy Butler Is Available Against Hawks

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He makes his return to the court after missing each of the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. It's assumed that Butler will play his normal amount of minutes here. That being said, Caleb […]

Alperen Sengun To Return On Friday

Houston Rocket center Alperen Sengun (ankle) will make his return to the court on Friday against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last seven games due to a right ankle sprain. The organization expected Sengun to return here, while head coach Stephen Silas confirmed Sengun will play regular minutes. Sadly, Christian Wood […]

Mo Bamba Remains Out Against Hornets

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks two games in a row that Bamba has been unable to play due to a right toe sprain. His absence likely means another start for Robin Lopez. Last time out, Lopez finished with 16 points and […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Playing Against Pistons

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the third game in a row that Trent has missed due to right ankle swelling. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as the Raptors are likely just being overly cautious. Svi Mykhailiuk should see more […]

Jeremy Lamb Won't Play Against Suns

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He attempted to warm-up pregame, but ultimately decided to sit this game out. Torrey Craig (quad) will be active and is likely to see more minutes without Lamb available. Although, Craig hasn't been too productive in terms of […]

Mark Andrews Named To All-Pro Team

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been named to the NFL's All-Pro team. The superstar tight end received an impressive 41 of 50 votes to join the 2021 All-Pro squad. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce received the other nine votes. Andrews broke most of the Ravens receiving records during his incredible 2021 […]

Isaiah Wynn Uncertain For Saturday's Game

New England Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn (hip, ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. He started the week with limited practice, but has missed both Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. Wynn appears to be a legitimate game-time decision for Saturday's game. Justin Herron took over for Wynn during […]

Tyus Bowser Suffers Torn Achilles

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) suffered a serious injury during the Week 18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The fifth-year linebacker suffered a torn Achilles tendon, which is a significant blow to this roster. Obviously, the Ravens aren't in the playoffs, but Bowser was a big part of this defense. The 26-year-old finished with […]

James Conner Not Seen During Friday's Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) was not seen during the start of Friday's practice. He was forced to exit early during the Week 18 loss due to a ribs issue. This injury continues to bother him and it sounds like Conner will miss his second straight practice. Luckily, the Cardinals don't have their […]

Joe Ingles Available Against Cavaliers

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles is available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran forward has been building up his conditioning, but he appears ready to play on Wednesday. Utah is without any centers, so Ingles could be asked to play significant minutes on Wednesday. The Jazz are likely to go with a […]

James Harden Returns Versus Chicago

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He'll return here after missing one contest due to left knee hyperextension. The Nets will also have Kyrie Irving (ankle) available after he suffered a minor injury during his last contest. That being said, it appears the Nets have their […]

Kyrie Irving Will Play Against Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's contest, which made his status for this contest uncertain. However, the Nets play two straight home games after this game, so Irving won't be available for those contests. It sounds like he'll […]

Alperen Sengun Not Playing Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The rookie center will miss his seventh straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Although, Sengun is expected to return to the floor on Friday versus the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets could certainly use Sengun on […]

John Collins Will Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (back) will play during Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He has been active over the last two games, but missed time before that due to COVID-19 protocols. It doesn't appear that the back issue is going to be something that causes him to miss time. Instead, Collins should be […]

Rajon Rondo Might Sit Out On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This injury seemingly popped out of nowhere and could leave the Cavs shorthanded. The newly acquired veteran guard is expected to play meaningful minutes for the banged up Cavs. There might not always be consistent fantasy value from […]

Tobias Harris Will Play Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He underwent on MRI on Tuesday, but it doesn't appear to be anything serious. Harris is dealing with tendinitis, but plans to play through the issue. Fantasy managers should expect Harris to have his normal workload on Wednesday. Seth Curry […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returns To Action

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Dedmon has missed each of the last seven games while dealing with a left MCL sprain. He was offering low-end value before going down, but Omer Yurtseven has stepped up in his absence. That being said, it's uncertain how big […]

Tristan Thompson Ruled Out Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Tristan Thompson (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Fellow big man Richaun Holmes will join him on the sideline as he continues to sit out due to COVID-19 protocols. Alex Len is expected to play extended minutes with Thompson and Holmes sidelined. He has two […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Available Against Bulls

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, but will suit up here. Fantasy managers should expect him in the starting five and to have an increased usage. Kristaps Porzingis remains out due to the league's health and safety protocols. […]

Lance Stephenson To Stay With Pacers

Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson is expected to stay with the organization for the rest of the season. The veteran forward is averaging 23 points, 9.5 assists, and 2.5 steals over the last two games. However, his usage will go down once Caris LeVert (protocols) and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) get back on the court. Although, […]

Draymond Green Back In The Lineup On Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (hip) will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was given a rest day on Thursday, but appears ready to play now. Fantasy managers should see a slight uptick in minutes for Green with Juan Toscano-Anderson (ankle) sidelined. Also, the return of Klay Thompson […]

Bol Bol Traded To Pistons

Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol has been traded to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Rodney McGruder and a second-round draft pick. The former 44 overall pick never really was given a chance to succeed in Denver. He played in seven games last season and never established himself in the rotation. However, it sounds like […]

Chimezie Metu Questionable For Sunday's Contest

Sacramento Kings center Chimezie Metu is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been building up his conditioning and has a decent chance at playing on Sunday. Fantasy managers should expect Metu to have a significant role, assuming he suits up. Both Richaun Holmes and Damian Jones remain sidelined due […]

Stephen Curry Removed From Injury Report

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quad) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a right quad issue. His return should push Jordan Poole to the second unit Gary Payton II gets less playing time. […]
