Rodney Hood Likely Limited To Start The Season

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) is expected to be under a minutes restriction to begin the season. This is not surprising news considering Hood is working his way back from an Achilles tear. He'll be competing with Derrick Jones Jr., Carmelo Anthony, and Gary Trent Jr. for playing time this season. It's tough […]

Eric Paschall Will Need To Play Off The Ball

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall will need to play off the ball if he wants to earn significant minutes this season, according to head coach Steve Kerr. He played well for the Warriors last season, but they were missing major pieces of their rotation. He averaged 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per […]

T.J. Warren Could Miss Multiple Weeks

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks. He is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, so his timetable is unclear right now.

Paul George Gets Maximum Extension From Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers and forward Paul George have come to terms on a five-year, $226 million maximum extension.

Aron Baynes Expected To Be Starting Center

Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes is expected to be the starting center when the regular season begins, according to head coach Nick Nurse.

Will Barton Goes Through Live Drills

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) was able to participate in live drills on Thursday. However, he's listed as doubtful for the preseason opener against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The team is going to be cautious with Barton after he missed the entire postseason run. He should be healthy by the start of […]

Clint Capela Likely To Sit On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with soreness rather than a sprain, but the team is going to be cautious regardless. It's the same foot that gave him issues last season, but is not related to the plantar fasciitis issue. […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Interested In Extension With Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr. said that he is not interested in signing an extension with the organization. He mentioned that he would prefer to become a restricted free agent next summer. Trent is betting on himself after playing well during the bubble last season.

Kevin Porter Jr. Unlikely To Play Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry has not been able to make much of an impact in this offense lately. That remained the case versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. Harry caught three of his four targets for 49 yards in the loss. Those 49 yards through the air was actually the […]

James White Held In Check By Rams

Sony Michel Invisible In Week 14

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was unable to do much damage during the Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed seven times for 22 yards in this one. This was his second game back from injury and he remains the No. 2 option behind Damien Harris. It doesn't appear that […]

Damien Harris Finishes With 50 Yards In Loss

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris was held in check by the Los Angeles Rams Defense in Week 14. He rushed 11 times for 50 yards in the Thursday night loss. The Pats weren't in this game for long, so the game script flipped pretty quickly in this one. Harris did what he could, […]

Jarrett Stidham Plays In Garbage Time

New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham saw a few reps during the blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. It was a horrendous game by quarterback Cam Newton.

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdominal) was listed as questionable heading into the Week 14 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

He completed nine of 16 passing attempts for 119 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in […]

Cole Anthony Should Have A Role Right Away

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony is expected to be part of the rotation right away, according to head coach Steve Clifford. It sounds like the rookie guard has impressed enough to earn a role from the season opener. He'll be stuck behind Markelle Fultz, so Anthony isn't expected to earn quality minutes. He is still […]

Mavericks Planning To Release J.J. Barea

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea is expected to be released by the organization on Thursday. The 36-year-old guard returned from a torn Achilles last season. He averaged 7.7 points through 29 games with Dallas. It doesn't sound like he was going to have a significant role on this team anyway. The Mavs are expected to […]

N'Keal Harry Has Avoidable Matchup In Week 14

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry is going to be a tough player to trust for the Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has promising upside, but is a tough player to trust for the Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

James White A Low-End PPR Option Versus Rams

New England Patriots running back James White has struggled to get much going on the ground this season.

However, fantasy owners can […]

Sony Michel Avoidable In Week 14

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel is looking like an avoidable option against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. He returned last week and rushed 10 times for 35 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It appears Damien Harris will remain the lead back, so Michel won't have a huge […]

Damien Harris Carries RB3 Value

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris continues to work as the lead back despite Sony Michel returning to the field. Harris has already put together three games of 100 rushing yards or more this season. It appears the Pats are going to continue feeding Harris the ball on a weekly basis. Sadly, he won't […]

Cam Newton A High-End QB2

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdominal) should be fine for the Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. He looked healthy last week as the Pats destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers. Newton was able to put up decent fantasy numbers despite only throwing for 69 passing yards. The fact he scored two rushing […]

Shake Milton Should Have Significant Role With Sixers

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has been amazing during training camp, according to head coach Doc Rivers. Both Rivers and Daryl Morey have been hyping up the young guard.

Deni Avdija Suffers Minor Injury On Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) was limited during Tuesday's practice, but he is expected to be fine, according to head coach Scott Brooks.

Victor Oladipo Uncertain For Back-To-Back Sets

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo has not been cleared for back-to-back sets yet. The organization is unsure if Oladipo will sit out back-to-back contests like he did last season. Head coach Nate Bjorkgren mentioned that Oladipo looked good during camp. However, it sounds like the team might take it slowly with Oladipo. He could miss […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Expects To Play Opening Night

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) says that he is feeling better and is expected to suit up for the season opener.
