Tim Hardaway Jr. Enters COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. has entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Hardaway won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He marks the fourth Mavericks player to enter protocols over the last few days. Jalen Brunson, Trey Burke and Sterling Brown will all be asked to step up […]

Khris Middleton Available For Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is great news with the Bucks having multiple players sidelined due to safety protocols. That being said, Middleton should be asked to carry a heavy load on offense during his first game back. He is certainly worth a look […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Could Return On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has a possibility of returning on Wednesday, according to GM Travis Schlenk. This is great news for the Hawks with Trae Young, Danilo Gallinari, and Clint Capela in protocols. That means, Bogdanovic would be possibly the secondary playmaker. His return would push Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to the bench. It's uncertain […]

Talen Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard Returning On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker and center Dwight Howard have cleared the league's protocols. That means, both players are available for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Horton-Tucker should immediately move into the starting five with the Lakers shorthanded. He'll have plenty of streaming appeal and DFS value for this one. Also, Howard should […]

Fred Vanvleet Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. The Raptors are now up to seven players in protocols with Precious Achiuwa and Scottie Barnes joining the list earlier. That being said, the Raptors are going to be extremely shorthanded for Wednesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. David Johnson […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Lands In COVID-19 Protocols

Washington Wizards forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. Another victim to protocols, which will force Deni Avdija into the starting five. Avdija has been producing top-90 value over the last two weeks. He is someone that needs to be rostered right now with the Wizards shorthanded. He is […]

Tyler Herro Upgraded To Probable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (quad) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of his last three games due to a right quad contusion. Although, the hope is that he can return here, which would be a significant boost to the Heat roster. This roster has […]

Clint Capela, Danilo Gallinari Enter COVID-19 Protocols

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela and forward Danilo Gallinari have entered the league's health and safety protocols. Both players will join Trae Young on the sideline and leave the Hawks shorthanded going forward. The absence of Capela should mean more minutes for Onyeka Okongwu and Gorgui Dieng. Both could be possible streaming options, assuming Capela […]

Nassir Little Possibly Out On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Little is dealing with a non-COVID illness that could force him out of this contest. That being said, Robert Covington could move into the starting five and have plenty of streaming appeal. Also, Ben McLemore could […]

Jusuf Nurkic Questionable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (rib) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is currently dealing with a left rib contusion, which is not something that is easy to play through. That being said, the Blazers could be shorthanded for this game, assuming Nurkic sits out. Larry Nance […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Out At Least Two Games

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for at least the next two games. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned his hamstring injury wasn't too bad, so that's good to hear. The organization plans to re-evaluate Jones after the next two games. Alfonzo McKinnie could be involved in the rotation, but wouldn't […]

Robert Williams III Ruled Out Against Sixers

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He wasn't on the injury report, so this came out of nowhere. That being said, the Celtics are going to be extremely shorthanded with a handful of big men already sidelined. Enes Freedom could be looking at […]

Armoni Brooks Is Back In Action On Monday

Houston Rockets guard Armoni Brooks (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but it appears he'll be ready to go. The expectation is that he'll move back into the starting five for this game. That means, Josh Christopher will shift back to […]

Dennis Schroder Is Available On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will be back in action after missing each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return will mean less minutes for Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith, but neither were much of a fantasy option […]

Ja Morant To Be Game-Time Call

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is officially listed as questionable, but it sounds like the team will wait until pre game to make a final decision. His return would move Tyus Jones back to the bench, but he could still […]

Seth Curry Will Start At Point Guard

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. Tyrese Maxey (quad) and Shake Milton (protocols) are unavailable for this contest. That means, Curry will take over point guard duties and see plenty of ball handling responsibilities. It's also worth noting that Joel Embiid (ankle) and […]

Shake Milton Likely To Miss Next Four Games

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is expected to miss at least the next four games. He entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Dec. 19, meaning he won't clear quarantine until Dec. 30. The Sixers are also going to be without Tyrese Maxey (quadriceps) for Monday's contest. That means that Seth Curry is […]

Tyrese Maxey Officially Out Against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (quad) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable previously in the day, but will officially sit this one out. His absence leaves Philly fairly shorthanded for this contest. Possibly, Isaiah Joe gets more playing time or newly signed Tyler Johnson gets […]

Gary Trent Jr. Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Toronto Raptors forward Gary Trent Jr. has entered the league's health and safety protocols. He'll join Delano Barton and Pascal Siakam in the protocols for Toronto. It's uncertain how long Trent will be gone, but he is likely to miss a few games. In the meantime, Svi Mykhailiuk could get some spot starts. Also, Yuta […]

Derrick Rose Could Sit Out Against Pistons

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He exited early during Thursday's matchup due to a sore right ankle. After that, Rose sat out of Saturday and it sounds like he'll likely sit out another contest. Kemba Walker dropped 29 points with six rebounds, […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Unlikely To Play Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The organization hasn't given details on the severity, but fantasy managers should expect Jones to miss time. This is a shame considering how shorthanded the Bulls are at the moment. Possibly, Alfonzo McKinnie is asked to step […]

Armoni Brooks Hopeful To Play Against Bulls

Houston Rockets guard Armoni Brooks (ankle) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a left ankle injury on Thursday and missed Saturday's contest because of it. However, it sounds like Brooks is returning here and should move back into the starting five. That being said, Josh Christopher would […]

Doug McDermott Probable To Play On Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (mouth) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed Sunday's game due to a tooth infection, but it sounds like he'll return here. Devin Vassell is expected to head back to the bench, assuming McDermott does return on Monday. There hasn't been much […]

Gordon Hayward Tagged As Doubtful For Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been struggling over the last two games, but the back discomfort likely has something to do with it. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Hornets take the cautious approach. Kelly Oubre Jr. […]

Richaun Holmes Questionable For Monday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has missed each of the last six games due to a right eye laceration. However, this is the first time that Holmes has been questionable since suffering the injury. It sounds like he is trending in […]

Ryan Griffin Snags Two Receptions

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin did exactly what was expected of him during the Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. He hauled in both of his targets for 39 yards in the loss. He has posted three straight games with two receptions, but less than 40 receiving yards in all of them. […]

Keelan Cole Posts Another Dud

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole has moved up the depth chart over the last few weeks. The absence of Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quad) has forced him into action more often. Although, that hasn't resulted in better performances from Cole. In Week 15, Cole hauled in one of his two targets […]

Braxton Berrios Disappoints Against Dolphins

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios came into this game with higher expectations after a 10-target game last week. However, Berrios struggled to do much of anything in the receiving game. He hauled in his lone target for 26 yards in the Week 15 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He did somewhat salvage his […]

Jamison Crowder Has Five-Catch Performance

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder has struggled to produce much fantasy value over the last few weeks. The hope is that Crowder would step up with Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quad) both sidelined. However, he hauled in five of his eight targets for 40 yards in the Week 15 loss to […]

Michael Carter Has Disastrous Outing

New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) made his return off the injured reserve in Week 15. He missed the previously three games, but was barely seen in this game. Carter rushed eight times for 18 yards in the loss to the Miami Dolphins. He added one reception for two yards, but it obviously […]
