Nicolas Batum Ruled Out Against Hornets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (back) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Instead, Marcus Morris Sr. should take his place in the starting five. Justise Winslow will likely back him up, but Morris should benefit the most with Batum sidelined. Morris is looking like a strong streaming option and a […]

Anthony Davis Available Versus Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) will be available for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The superstar big man will make his return to the court after a one game absence. He'll be asked to play a bigger role than normal with LeBron James (knee) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should expect Davis to […]

Trae Young Cleared For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hip) has been cleared to play for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is great news since Young has been on fire lately. Over the last six games, Young is averaging 27.2 points, 8.7 assists, and 4.7 rebounds with 1.7 steals. The uptick in steals is nice to […]

De'Andre Hunter Available On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hunter has been playing well lately, so the Hawks are certainly glad to have him available for this game. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Hunter is still available because he's worth snagging right now. […]

Kyle Anderson Available On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson will play during Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Anderson has been cleared of the league's health and safety protocols before this game. However, COVID-19 protocols cost Anderson each of the last five games. His return could hinder the value of Brandon Clarke. Although, Clarke has been playing well lately, […]

Thomas Bryant Moves Into Starting Five

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Daniel Gafford has been lackluster lately, so he'll move to the second unit here. The Wizards have experienced issues all season long trying to find playing time for their three-headed monster at center. Bryant has some streaming […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Be Sidelined Through All-Star Break

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is going to be out until at least after the All-Star break. The star guard suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This team is going nowhere fast, so they've decided to let Gilgeous-Alexander rest through the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should be […]

Fred Vanvleet Cleared To Play Versus Heat

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He has missed each of the last two games due to a right knee issue. There is no word on whether or not Vanvleet would be limited during this game. Regardless, fantasy managers in season long formats can go […]

James Harden Uncertain Against Warriors

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has been cleared from his hamstring injury, but this right hand issue is new. It's unclear where Harden picked up the injury, but he'll likely test it out pregame before making a final decision. Patty Mills […]

De'Aaron Fox Ruled Out Against Sixers

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his fourth game in a row while he continues to deal with an ankle injury. Tyrese Haliburton will continue to see increased usage and a majority of the ball-handling responsibilities. He'll be a strong streaming […]

Seth Curry Will Return Against Kings

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He had missed each of the last four games while dealing with a left ankle injury. There's a chance he's somewhat limited during his first game back on the court. Curry has some streaming appeal and he could be a […]

Chimezie Metu Available Saturday

Sacramento Kings center Chimezie Metu (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will return after missing each of the last two games due to left knee soreness. Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley III are healthy, so Metu won't have a ton of fantasy appeal on Saturday. Metu is not worth […]

Will Barton Downgraded To Out

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was expected to play, but will sit this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. The Pelicans are missing multiple key players, so the Nuggets appear to be playing it safe here. Austin Rivers […]

Domantas Sabonis Expected To Play Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is expected to play during Friday's game, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Sabonis has missed each of the last four games, but it sounds like he'll return against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. However, the Pacers are likely going to wait until pregame warmups before officially committing […]

De'Andre Hunter Available On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (back) will be available for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but managed to play during their last contest as well. Danilo Gallinari (eye) will be on the court as well during Friday's game. That means, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Lou Williams […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Play Versus Heat

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. It's a shame that Oubre won't get to follow up his 39-point performance on Wednesday. However, he should be back soon and fantasy managers should monitor him in fantasy formats. Oubre appears to be heating up, so […]

Brandon Ingram, Jonas Valanciunas Inactive On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) and center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Ingram will miss his third game in a row here as he continues to deal with a right ankle sprain. Valanciunas will miss his second game in a row due to a […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Ruled Out Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) and center Anthony Davis (wrist) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. James sat out last game due to this knee issue and he'll miss at least one more game. Davis suffered a wrist injury last game, but managed to play through the issue. […]

Jimmy Butler Expects To Play On Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) will warm up with the intention to play on Friday, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Butler is coming off a strong game last time out, so hopefully he can continue that here against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers can go ahead and move Butler into their starting […]

Christian Wood Questionable Against Blazers

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (head) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wood is reportedly dealing with a migraine, so the team might wait until pregame warmups to make a final decision. Alperen Sengun has been playing well for the Rockets this season and continues to gain momentum. He's […]

James Harden Practices On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) was able to get through practice on Friday. Head coach Steve Nash confirmed that Harden will be available for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kyrie Irving (personal) will remain out, which means Harden will be the primary ball-handler for Saturday's game. The absence of Irving should give […]

Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) and guard Russell Westbrook (knee) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Davis injured his wrist during Thursday's game and briefly checked out of the game. Luckily, he returned and continued to play well, but apparently the wrist issue is still bothering him. Dwight […]

LeBron James Could Sit Out Against Hornets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to left knee soreness. It appears James isn't quite fully healed yet, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Lakers be extra cautious here. Talen […]

De'Andre Hunter Might Play Against Celtics

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday due to back discomfort, but played in the contest. Bogdan Bogdanovic would likely be asked to slide into the starting five, assuming Hunter sits out. He'd have more streaming appeal and […]

Jonas Valanciunas Could Sit Out Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out the last contest for rest purposes and it's worth noting he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes should be asked to soak up the minutes, assuming Valanciunas is unable […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Might Sit Against Suns

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Vanderbilt has been playing excellent lately, so it'd be a shame to see him sit out here. He's snagged at least eight rebounds and averaging 3.3 steals over his last four games. There is plenty of streaming appeal […]

D'Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards D'Angelo Russell (shin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Russell suffered a left shin contusion during Thursday's game and it's unclear how significant it is. Beverley continues to be bothered by a right ankle sprain, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him […]

Elijah Mitchell Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was able to get in a limited session during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as the team is likely just managing his reps. He doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. Mitchell […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Limited During Thursday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. He is recovering from an ankle injury he suffered during last week's Divisional Round. The 49ers are hopeful he can play this weekend versus the Los Angeles Rams. However, Wilson doesn't offer much fantasy value with […]

Van Jefferson Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) was able to suit up for practice on Thursday. He was limited during this session, but is on track to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Last week, Jefferson had two receptions for 29 yards during the Divisional Round victory. It sounds like Jefferson is […]
