Damian Jones is Available for Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Damian Jones (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as questionable on Thursday, but it appears he's feeling good enough to play here. The Hawks are banged up, so Bruno Fernando and John Collins are really the only other guys that play center right now. He […]

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out for Friday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He played 34 minutes during Thursday's game, so this appears to be more of a rest game than injury related. He did miss some time in December due to an ankle issue, but this looks precautionary. Hamidou […]

Eric Gordon Could Sit Versus Celtics

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He sat out of Wednesday's game due to a nagging right knee issue. The Rockets may decide to take the cautious approach and give Gordon another day off to rest. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Danuel House would […]

De'Aaron Fox is Questionable for Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (abdominal) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was scratched from Thursday's game due to lower abdominal tightness, but might be able to return here. Cory Joseph drew the start and finished with six points, two rebounds, and 11 assists over 35 minutes of play […]

Robert Williams is Cleared for Game Action

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been cleared to return to game action. He went through his final scan on Thursday, and everything came back clean. The Celtics are going to ease him back into action, so Williams is better left on the waiver wire in most formats. Enes Kanter and Daniel Theis could […]

Kemba Walker is Unable to Practice on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) was unable to participate in Friday's practice. Walker is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets, according to head coach Brad Stevens. It appears he's going to miss his fifth straight game, but hopefully Walker can get back on the court soon. Marcus Smart should […]

Victor Oladipo Will Play on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (back) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed each of the last two games due to a back issue, but will return here. Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, and T.J. McConnell will see reduced roles with Oladipo back in the rotation. It […]

Joel Embiid is Ruled Out Against Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. This isn't shocking news after Embiid was forced out of Wednesday's game due to a left shoulder sprain. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, so hopefully more information will be known after that. Matisse […]

Frank Ntilikina is Doubtful for Thursday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a groin issue. It appears he's going to miss at least one more game and possibly more. Elfrid Payton and Dennis Smith Jr. will split up […]

Kevin Huerter is Battling Groin Issue

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (groin) is uncertain for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Huerter reportedly suffered a groin injury during Wednesday's game, according to head coach Lloyd Pierce. Cam Reddish is expected to join the starting five if Huerter is unable to play. There could be more minutes for Jeff Teague or Vince […]

Trae Young Misses Practice on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) was unable to practice on Thursday. He played through an illness on Wednesday and ended up scoring 37 points versus the Orlando Magic. It appears Thursday was a rest day for Young and he should be able to play in Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Fantasy owners will […]

Kenrich Williams Practices on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Kenrich Williams (back) was able to get through a full practice on Thursday. This is the first time that Williams has been able to get through a practice since going down with an injury in January. The Pelicans are expected to ease him back into action once he's cleared to play. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Suffers Knee Injury

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) reportedly has a torn meniscus, but will seek a second opinion from a knee specialist. He missed Wednesday's game with a knee issue, so that makes more sense why he sat out now. There's no set timetable for his return, but Oubre is likely going to miss multiple […]

De'Aaron Fox is Questionable for Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (abdominal) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He played on Tuesday despite soreness in his left shoulder, but suffered an abdominal injury in the process. The Kings are edging their way back into the playoff picture, so they'd love to have him out there […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Expected to Return on Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) said there's an 80-90 percent chance that he'll play in Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. It sounds like he's finally over his right ankle injury, but fantasy owners will have to wait until closer to game time on Saturday for official confirmation. Carter is likely going […]

Coby White Tweaks Back on Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (back) was unable to participate in Thursday's practice due to an injury. White reportedly tweaked his back prior to Thursday's practice, but should be able to play in Saturday's game versus the New York Knicks. Tomas Satoransky and Ryan Arcidiacono would see significantly more minutes if White is unable to […]

Denzel Valentine is Hopeful to Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (hamstring) is hopefully going to be able to play in Saturday's game against the New York Knicks, according to head coach Jim Boylen. He was able to practice on Thursday, so there's a chance he returns on Saturday. Valentine has missed each of the last seven games due to a […]

Otto Porter is Ruled Out for Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He was able to get through Thursday's practice, but is officially ruled out over 24 hours in advance. The Bulls are going to be cautious with Porter, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. […]

Dewayne Dedmon Will Miss At Least Three Games

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (elbow) is going to be sidelined at least three games after undergoing a non-surgical procedure on Thursday. The Hawks will re-evaluate Dedmon on Monday, so he doesn't have a set timetable right now. Bruno Fernando could see more minutes coming his way until Dedmon returns. John Collins should be spending […]

Norman Powell Practices on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (finger) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The fact he was able to practice is a good sign that he'll be able to get back on the court soon. He could have his minutes limited […]

Marc Gasol is Able to Practice on Thursday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) was able to get in some light work during Thursday's practice. He has been sidelined since Jan. 28 due to a left hamstring injury. The Raptors don't have a timetable for his return, so it's safe to leave Gasol on the waiver wire in most formats. Serge Ibaka will […]

Luke Kornet is Likely Done for the Season

Chicago Bulls center Luke Kornet (foot) is expected to miss at least six to eight weeks of action. He is dealing with a severe left ankle sprain and fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. Fantasy owners can go ahead and drop Kornet if they haven't already. Daniel Gafford and Cristiano Da Silva […]

Frank Ntilikina Will Sit Out Versus Hornets

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the second game in a row that Ntilikina has missed due to groin soreness. Elfrid Payton and Dennis Smith Jr. will be asked to split up the minutes at point guard. Payton is the better […]

Bismack Biyombo Will Start on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Bismack Biyombo will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cody Zeller (rest) is expected to get the game off, so Biyombo will get a chance with the first unit. The Hornets may continue to shake up their rotations as the season goes on. Biyombo could be […]

Davis Bertans Will Play on Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) will return to action for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was not able to play in Monday's contest due to right knee soreness, but shouldn't be limited much here. He could see a few less minutes than normal, but fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. Bertans should be […]

Shabazz Napier Will Start on Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Napier dropped 27 points during Monday's game, so head coach Scott Brooks will give him the nod here. It's unlikely that Napier goes off again, but he'll have increased value in the starting five. He'll be worth […]

Andre Drummond Will Sit Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavs aren't going anywhere this season, so they will let Drummond rest here. The Cavs have a back-to-back set coming up, so Drummond could be looking at a multiple game absence. Tristan Thompson should slide back into […]

Eric Gordon is Ruled Out Against Memphis

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said on Tuesday that he was hopeful Gordon could return here. However, the Rockets are going to take the cautious approach and let Gordon rest at least one more game. Russell Westbrook (thumb) is […]

Malik Monk Gets Suspended

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk has been suspended for violating the league's anti-drug policy. It's unclear what he tested positive for, but his suspension will continue until he's determined to be in compliance with the program, according to Shams Charania. Dwayne Bacon could get called up from the G-League, while Cody Martin gets more playing […]

Kemba Walker is Ruled Out Versus Jazz

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Brad Stevens said on Tuesday that Walker was unlikely to suit up here. Marcus Smart should remain in the starting five and be a reliable DFS choice for Wednesday's slate. Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Gordon […]
