Andrew Whitworth Fully Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) was upgraded to full during Thursday's practice. The four-time Pro Bowl tackle is expected to return after sitting out the Divisional Round. His replacement Joe Noteboom (chest) played well in his absence, but also suffered an injury last week. Having Whitworth back on the offensive line would […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out For Friday's Contest

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ayton continues to sit out due to a lingering right ankle sprain, but hopefully he can return soon. In the meantime, Bismack Biyombo will be asked to make the start and play heavy minutes without Ayton available. Fellow […]

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out Versus Grizzlies

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a left calf strain on Sunday and now will miss his third straight game because of it. His absence will mean Hassan Whiteside will get another start with Udoka Azubuike getting backup minutes. Whiteside has struggled […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has missed each of the last five games due to a concussion. Mitchell didn't travel with the team for Friday's contest, so the chances of him suiting up seem unlikely. Joe Ingles would shift back to the […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Doesn't Practice Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) did not participate during Thursday's practice. Despite that, head coach Stephen Silas expects Porter to be available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so possibly he feels better before game-time tomorrow. Jalen Green would do more of the […]

Patrick Beverley Unlikely To Play Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game, according to head coach Chris Finch. Fantasy managers should expect Beverley to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell should have increased roles against the Golden State Warriors on […]

Brandon Ingram Doesn't Practice Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) was unable to practice on Thursday. He has missed each of the last two games and could be looking at a third absence on Friday. Josh Hart (ankle) sat out of practice as well on Thursday. That means, Herbert Jones will continue to have strong streaming appeal until […]

Tobias Harris Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed shootaround while he deals with a non-COVID related illness. The organization is hopeful Harris plays, but the final decision will likely be made after pregame warmups. Joel Embiid and Seth Curry would be asked to […]

Anthony Davis Available On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as probable coming into this game, so he was likely on the injury report as a precaution. The Lakers are going to need a big performance from Davis with LeBron James (knee) out on Thursday. Both […]

LeBron James Ruled Out Against 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hopefully this is more of a rest day than anything else and James won't miss multiple games. Anthony Davis (knee) and Russell Westbrook will get a significant boost in value with James sidelined. Carmelo Anthony, Malik Monk, […]

James Harden Won't Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is a tough blow with Kyrie Irving (personal) and Kevin Durant (knee) already sidelined. It seems like Harden tweaked his hamstring at some point and has decided to sit out as a precaution. Patty Mills is expected […]

De'Aaron Fox Won't Play Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the third game in a row that Fox has missed due to a left ankle issue. Tyrese Haliburton should have full control of the offense without Fox available. Davion Mitchell is expected to move into the […]

Tyler Herro Available Against Knicks

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He will return here after sitting out due to the league's health and safety protocols. His return will mean that Max Strus and Caleb Martin won't have as significant of roles. However, Strus could still have low-end streaming value even […]

Fred Vanvleet Uncertain For Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed last game, which resulted in Chris Boucher moving into the starting five. Also, Malachi Flynn and Dalano Banton saw playing time during Tuesday's game. Although, Gary Trent Jr. and Boucher benefited the most from the loss […]

Scottie Barnes Tagged As Questionable

Toronto Raptors guard Scottie Barnes (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He sat out of Tuesday's game due to right wrist swelling and could very well miss another game. His absence would likely mean more minutes for Gary Trent Jr. and possibly Fred VanVleet (knee), assuming he plays. Precious […]

Nikola Vucevic Active Against Raptors

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was listed as probable coming in, so it seems Vucevic is fine to play despite a minor knee issue. Vucevic has been asked to do more on the offensive side with many of the key playmakers sidelined. He's expected […]

James Harden Listed As Questionable On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is not good news with Kyrie Irving (personal) and Kevin Durant (knee) already unavailable for Wednesday. The Nets don't have many healthy playmakers right now, so this team could be in some trouble on Wednesday. Patty Mills, […]

Domantas Sabonis Ruled Out Against Hornets

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He has missed each of the last two games and it looks like he'll sit out at least one more game. The Pacers aren't exactly competitive right now, so Indiana doesn't need to rush him back to the […]

Chimezie Metu Not Available Versus Hawks

Sacramento Kings center Chimezie Metu (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. His role has been inconsistent this season, but Metu has shown flashes whenever the Kings give him a chance. Sadly, the Kings don't seem to use a consistent rotation, which makes Metu a tough fantasy option even when […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He played only 12 minutes on Tuesday, so possibly he suffered the right ankle sprain during that game. However, Smith normally doesn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway. Anfernee Simons and C.J. McCollum are […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Active For Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sat out their most recent game on Saturday, but it was likely as a precaution. Antetokounmpo had four days off, so he should be fine to play his normal amount of minutes here. Fantasy managers should make sure that […]

Rob Gronkowski Hints At Retirement

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski might not be back with the team for a third season. The five-time Pro Bowl tight end recently hinted at possibly retiring this offseason. Gronkowski mentioning that if he had to decide right now then he wouldn't be back for next season. Luckily, no one is forcing Gronk […]

Dalton Schultz Could Get Franchise Tagged

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz might not be going anywhere this offseason. The fourth-year tight end could have plenty of interest if he hit the open market. However, the Cowboys are unlikely to let that happen. There are rumors that the Cowboys are going to franchise tag the former fourth round pick. Schultz is […]

Aaron Rodgers To Make Decision Before Free Agency

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is uncertain about his future following an early playoff exit in 2021. That being said, Rodgers plans to make his decision well before free agency. "To stretch it out past free agency would be disrespectful to the organization," Rodgers continued, "and that 100% will not happen." It's also worth […]

Lee Smith Retires From NFL

Atlanta Falcons tight end Lee Smith has decided to call it a career. The 34-year-old tight end has retired from the NFL after 11 years in the league.

Andrew Whitworth Expected To Play Against 49ers

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) is on track to play against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. The four-time Pro Bowl tackle was forced to miss the Divisional Round last week. His replacement Joe Noteboom (chest) is uncertain for Sunday after suffering an injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Likely Returning To Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is expected to remain with the organization in 2022. Last year, Smith-Schuster took a team-friendly deal to stay in Pittsburgh. Sadly, injuries caused Smith-Schuster to miss a majority of the 2021 season. He finished with 15 receptions, 129 receiving yards, and zero touchdowns in five games. It's unlikely that […]

Jae Crowder Sitting Out On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the second game in a row that Crowder has missed due to a left wrist contusion. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned and consider Crowder day-to-day right now. Cameron Johnson is expected to make another start […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Removed From Injury Report

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was held out of Monday's game as a precaution, but it sounds like he'll return on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has been fitted for a splint, but it's on his non-shooting hand. Donovan Mitchell (concussion) […]
