Marcus Smart Could Sit Out Versus Nets

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He sat out of Monday's practice alongside teammate Jayson Tatum (illness), so they could be dealing with the same bug. Kemba Walker (knee) is expected to return for this game, so Smart would see his usage decrease anyway. […]

Jayson Tatum Doesn't Practice on Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Tatum was unable to practice on Monday, so that's not a good sign ahead of Tuesday's contest. Head coach Brad Stevens said he has no idea if Tatum will be ready for this game. The Celtics would likely […]

Otto Porter Will Return on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) will return to the rotation for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has been sidelined since early November due to a left foot issue. He returned to practice on Thursday, so he hasn't been given a lot of time to get back into shape for game action. Fantasy […]

Zach LaVine is Downgraded to Doubtful

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (quad) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He tweaked his left quad during warmups on Friday, but was able to play through the issue. The Bulls have an awful record and no incentive to push LaVine at anything less than 100 percent. Coby White […]

Willie Cauley-Stein is Probable for Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein (personal) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has missed each of the last five games due to a personal issue. However, Cauley-Stein hasn't been a huge part of the rotation regardless, so he should be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats. […]

Luka Doncic is Probable Versus Bulls

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Doncic is dealing with a left thumb sprain, but he has played through discomfort this season. Head coach Rick Carlisle hasn't given much information on the subject, but Doncic was having trouble gripping the ball on Friday. Seth […]

Anfernee Simons is Expected to Play on Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle, but it appears that he's feeling better now. Damian Lillard (groin) remains out, so Simons will get increased playing time. However, Simons has been unable to […]

Aaron Gordon is Questionable for Monday's Contest

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear how Gordon picked up the injury, but he's reportedly dealing with right knee inflammation. Wesley Iwundu, Terrence Ross, and James Ennis would be asked to pick up the slack if Gordon sits out. Ross is […]

Danny Green is Probable for Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Danny Green (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Green sat out of Saturday's game due to right hip soreness, but appears to be feeling better now. Alex Caruso (hamstring) started in place of Green on Saturday, but is questionable for this one. Rajon Rondo […]

Anthony Davis Might Sit Out Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was listed with left elbow soreness, but it's been changed to right knee soreness. It's the second game of a back-to-back set and Davis only played 25 minutes on Saturday. Kyle Kuzma would see his […]

Luka Doncic Has Been Ruled Out for Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was bothered by a left thumb issue on Friday, but was able to play through the pain. Seth Curry, Delon Wright, and Tim Hardaway Jr. will be asked to split up the playing time. Curry is the […]

J.J. Redick is Ruled Out for Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He pulled his left hamstring during Friday's contest and was unable to return. There's a good chance that Redick is going to be sidelined for multiple games. E'Twaun Moore, Josh Hart and Nicolo Melli should all […]

Kenrich Williams is Doubtful for Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Kenrich Williams (back) has been upgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was able to fully participate in Thursday's practice, so that's a good sign moving forward. The Pelicans are fairly healthy, so Williams won't see a big role in the rotation anymore. He is best […]

Damian Lillard is Officially Ruled Out for Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He will remain in Portland and miss his sixth straight game here. C.J. McCollum will continue to be asked to carry the load on offense and see an increased usage. Gary Trent Jr. should remain in the […]

Paul Millsap is Questionable Versus Raptors

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He suffered a right ankle injury on Friday, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Nuggets take the safe approach and rest him. Jerami Grant and Torrey Craig would see more minutes if Millsap doesn't play. Grant […]

Thon Maker Could Sit Out on Sunday

Detroit Pistons center Thon Maker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He saw six minutes during Tuesday's game and then eight minutes during Friday's contest. Possibly, the right ankle issue is the reason why he's not playing much. His fantasy value is heading in the wrong direction, but he […]

Christian Wood is Questionable Versus Kings

Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He dropped 19 points during Friday's game, but must have suffered a left foot sprain in the process. Sekou Doumbouya, John Henson, and Thon Maker (ankle) would be looking at more minutes if Wood is unable to play. […]

Bruce Brown Jr. is Ruled Out for Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He is dealing with a left knee contusion, so the Pistons will remain cautious and let Brown rest here. It's unclear how much time Brown is going to miss, so his fantasy value could quickly decrease. Brandon […]

Cory Joseph Might Sit Out on Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard Cory Joseph (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. De'Aaron Fox (abdominal) will join Joseph on the injury report, so the Kings could be thin in terms of depth on Sunday. Yogi Ferrell would be asked to play significant minutes if neither player can get on the […]

De'Aaron Fox is Questionable on Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (abdominal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He returned on Friday after missing one game due to lower abdominal tightness. Fox admitted that before tip-off he wasn't feeling 100 percent, so the Kings might decide to rest him here. Cory Joseph, Yogi Ferrell, and Bogdan […]

LeBron James Will Return on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will return to the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll return to the lineup here after missing last game. Rajon Rondo will head back to the bench and see reduced minutes. Kyle Kuzma will see less minutes and reduced usage here. Fantasy owners and […]

Eric Gordon is Expected to Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Rockets have been cautious with Gordon lately, but it sounds like he's actually ready to play now. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Danuel House would lose playing time if Gordon returns here. House would be the best […]

Draymond Green Could Sit Against Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was added to the injury report on Saturday with left knee soreness. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries all season long, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out here. Eric Paschall would […]

Victor Oladipo is Listed as Questionable for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wasn't on the injury report earlier, but has now popped up with a left ankle sprain. Oladipo has been having trouble staying on the court this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out […]

Andrew Wiggins is Available Against Suns

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Both Jordan Poole (ankle) and Ky Bowman (ankle) are sidelined, so Wiggins should get plenty of run here. He should be the main ball handler going forward until Stephen Curry (hand) gets back on the court. Fantasy owners can […]

Caris LeVert is Available for Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable for this one with a right hand issue, but it appears he feels good enough to play in this one. He should see plenty of run against the Heat, so DFS players should take a […]

Lauri Markkanen is Almost Ready to Return

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) is close to being cleared to return to contact work, according to head coach Jim Boylen. He is currently five weeks into a four-to-six week timetable, so hopefully he'll get back on the court soon. Markkanen could be worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Placed in Concussion Protocol

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (head) has been placed into concussion protocol and will miss at least two games. He has already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls, but he's going to miss Monday's game as well. Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina will split up the extra playing time […]

Tristan Thompson is Ruled Out for Saturday's Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has started each of the last two games with Andre Drummond (calf) sidelined for those contests. Drummond is listed as probable here, so the Cavs will take the cautious approach and rest Thompson due to a left […]

Andre Drummond is Expected to Return Versus Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left calf strain. It appears Drummond is feeling well enough to get back into the starting five here. Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out, so […]
