Nicolas Batum Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (personal) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran forward has been a sneaky option in category leagues this season. He'll be worth holding even if he does miss a game or two. Marcus Morris is expected to see a boost, assuming Batum […]

Derrick Favors Probable On Thursday

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is dealing with right knee soreness, but it sounds like Favors can play through the issue. Favors played 16 minutes on Tuesday and should see a similar workload here. He doesn't have much upside in standard […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Doubtful For Friday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (thigh) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He suffered a bruised thigh on Wednesday and it doesn't sound like he'll be able to play through it. His absence could mean more minutes for Lauri Markkanen at the center spot. Although, Daniel Gafford would be […]

Patrick Williams Questionable For Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (hip) was able to go through practice on Thursday. It sounds like he is trending in the right direction, but should still be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Garrett Temple (ankle) would be in line for another start, assuming Williams is out. Both Denzel Valentine and […]

Garrett Temple Returns To Practice

Chicago Bulls guard Garrett Temple (ankle) was able to fully participate in Thursday's practice. He was limited on Wednesday, but it sounds like Temple is trending in the right direction. Patrick Williams (hip) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Temple could be in line for another start and hold […]

Kemba Walker To See More Minutes Friday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker will have his minutes raised for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team continues to monitor Walker, but will extend his minutes to 25-28 for this game, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Walker is slowly working his way back up and that is great news for fantasy managers. […]

Michael Porter Jr. Has Rejoined Team

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. has finally rejoined his teammates after being in the NBA's health and safety protocols due to COVID-19. As of right now, Porter is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's expected to be under a minutes limit since he has not taken the court in weeks. Will […]

Tyler Herro Could Return On Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has missed each of the last three games due to neck spasms. Herro was able to go through practice on Thursday without any issues, so hopefully he can play on Friday. Otherwise, Goran Dragic would continue seeing […]

Christian Wood Ruled Out For Friday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He sprained his ankle on Wednesday and it sounds like the injury has got worse overnight. Head coach Stephen Silas has his doubts about Wood suiting up for either of the back-to-back contests this weekend. DeMarcus Cousins will […]

Michael Carter-Williams Could Play Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He hasn't played since early January due to a nagging foot issue. Although, Carter-Williams has been able to go through some non-contact work during practices. Regardless of when he returns, rookie Cole Anthony has looked more impressive and […]

Jonas Valanciunas Won't Play Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to COVID-19. He has been sidelined since Sunday due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Xavier Tillman Sr. has moved into the starting five and has been an unstoppable force. He's a must-start and must-own fantasy option […]

Andrew Wiggins Questionable Versus Spurs

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Losing Wiggins would be a shame after he's coming off his best shooting performance of the season. Wiggins is dealing with right knee soreness, so the team might wait to see how he feels pregame. His […]

Lou Williams Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran shooter has been out basically a week due to left hip discomfort. Reggie Jackson would see more playing time coming his way, assuming Williams is out. However, Luke Kennard is the safer fantasy option regardless […]

Evan Fournier Finally Returns To The Lineup

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be his first game action since late December, so expect Fournier to be somewhat limited. The Magic are desperate for a playmaker after Markelle Fultz (knee) went down. Fournier's return will mean less playing time for Dwayne Bacon […]

Seth Curry Ruled Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics due to COVID-19. He was cleared from the NBA's health and safety protocols but won't play on Wednesday. The veteran shooter hasn't played in two weeks, so the Sixers want him to get up his conditioning before getting back into […]

Jayson Tatum Sitting Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum did not travel with the team and has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to COVID-19. However, Tatum was able to practice on Wednesday back in Boston. Head coach Brad Stevens is giving Tatum a 50/50 chance of suiting up for Friday's contest. Until then, Semi […]

Sterling Brown Available On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Sterling Brown (leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has missed each of the last two games due to a leg issue. Brown was playing well for the shorthanded Rockets before getting injured. However, newly acquired Victor Oladipo is sliding into the rotation now. Brown is expected to […]

Patrick Williams Sits Out Of Wednesday's Practice

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (hip) did some running, but did not suit up for Wednesday's practice. He sat out of their last contest due to hip stiffness and is questionable for Friday's contest. Luckily, Chandler Hutchinson is expected to suit up for the first time in the new year. Otto Porter (back) is banged […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Leaves Practice Early

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (thigh) was forced to exit Wednesday's practice early due to injury. He is dealing with a thigh bruise that has now put his status for Friday's game in question. The Bulls could be shorthanded with Patrick Williams (hip) and Otto Porter (back) also banged up right now. Tomas Satoransky […]

Hassan Whiteside Could Miss Time

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (hip) is a little banged up and is currently considered day-to-day. He underwent an MRI that revealed a strained left hip flexor, but luckily it wasn't more serious. It's unclear if Whiteside is going to miss any game action because of this issue. Marvin Bagley III and Richaun Holmes would […]

Lonzo Ball Upgraded To Probable

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was able to practice on Monday and it sounds like his knee is feeling much better. His return would mean a limited role for Nickeil Alexander-Walker while Eric Bledsoe wouldn't see the ball in his […]

Joel Embiid Expected To Play Versus Boston

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The fact this game was pushed back gave Embiid time to rest his banged up knee. He was in and out of practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Sixers would likely hold out […]

Robert Williams III Practices On Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III was able to practice on Tuesday and is expected to play during Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williams has been out two weeks due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. His return should cut into the playing time of Daniel Theis and Grant Williams. Williams will continue to be […]

Kyrie Irving Expected To Play On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) is expected to suit up against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, according to head coach Steve Nash. It sounds like the Irving saga has finally come to an end after he missed seven games. It's unclear how Irving will mix with Kevin Durant and James Harden. His usage will […]

Seth Curry Misses Tuesday's Practice

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice due to COVID-19. However, it appears he's finishing up the final stages of the NBA's health and safety protocols. It's unclear if Curry will be able to play in Wednesday's game. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time. He […]

Serge Ibaka Will Return On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach Ty Lue. Ivica Zubac received the spot start in place of Ibaka on Sunday. Fantasy managers who are holding Zubac in hope of some streaming appeal can give up on that dream. He should return […]

Nemanja Bjelica Should Return At Some Point

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica has not played in each of the last four games. However, head coach Luke Walton believes Bjelica will return to the rotation at some point this season. He hasn't been benched because of poor play, but Walton has been using different rotations and sadly Bjelica has been the odd man […]

Gabe Vincent Listed As Probable Versus Pistons

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He played on Saturday, but struggled and only played 16 minutes before fouling out. Tyler Herro (neck) is listed as questionable, so Vincent could have some streaming appeal without Herro on the court. Otherwise, it's tough to imagine […]

Jalen Brunson Expected To Play On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (COVID-19) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He continues to test negative, but hasn't been cleared to play yet. The Mavs could've used Brunson during Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Hopefully, Dallas will get him back for […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Could Sit Out On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sat out of Saturday's game due to a left groin strain. Possibly, Hardaway has healed up by now, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off. Trey Burke would gain the most […]
