Elfrid Payton is Unable to Practice on Saturday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) was unable to suit up for Saturday's practice. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's practice and was unable to play in Friday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. Frank Ntilikina drew the start and scored 14 points with two rebounds, and two assists in 32 minutes. The Knicks next […]

Deandre Ayton, Dario Saric Should Play on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and forward Dario Saric (ankle) are listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Both players were able to return to the court for Friday's contest. Saric saw 20 minutes, but could see his minutes reduced to the teens with Mikal Bridges playing well right now. Ayton […]

Aron Baynes is Expected to Play on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (hip) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed roughly a month of action before the All-Star break due to a left hip issue. He was able to play in Friday's game versus the Toronto Raptors, but didn't do much during his 11 minutes of […]

Luka Doncic is Ruled Out for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He looked fine on Friday when he dropped 33 points, ten rebounds, and nine assists against the Orlando Magic. The Mavs are likely just resting Doncic here as a precaution. Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Willie Cauley-Stein (personal) are […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Remains Sidelined on Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has been sidelined since early January due to a right ankle issue. There was some hope that Carter would be able to play here, but the team has decided to hold him out. The Bulls play […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Will Sit Out Versus Hawks

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Kristaps Porzingis (rest) is out as well, so the Mavs are a bit thin for this game. Maximilian Kleber is coming off a 26 point game on Friday, so he'll be worth a look in DFS contests. Boban […]

Alfonzo McKinnie Won't Play on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Alfonzo McKinnie (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with left foot plantar fasciitis, so the only way to heal up is for him to rest. Kevin Porter Jr. and Dante Exum should see extended playing time with McKinnie sidelined. Both players could be […]

Reggie Jackson Will Start on Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson will jump into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was able to get through some practices and is ready to make his team debut here. Patrick Beverley (groin) is out, so Jackson should get plenty of chances here. He's worth using as a fantasy […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Sit Out on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's not surprising that Porzingis is sitting out. Maximilian Kleber is coming off a fantastic performance on Friday, so he's worth a look in DFS contests. Boban Marjanovic […]

Thomas Bryant Will Play Against Cavs

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (foot) will suit up for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He aggravated his foot earlier this month, but was able to practice on Wednesday. The Wizards might be cautious with Bryant this time around, so he might not be a great DFS option for Friday's slate. He should have […]

Michael Porter Jr. Will Play on Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He practiced with the team on Wednesday and it appears he's ready to return to action. Will Barton (knee) might play on Friday, so that would hurt Porter's value going forward. However, Porter is expected to have a […]

Reggie Jackson is Available for Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson will be available for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Jackson recently agreed to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons and signed with the Clippers a few days ago. He was able to get into practice on Friday and should be ready to go for Saturday's contest. Patrick Beverley […]

Deandre Bembry is Doubtful for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Deandre Bembry (abdominal) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. De'Andre Hunter (personal) is going to be sidelined for that game as well. Cam Reddish could be looking at significant minutes with the team banged up for Saturday's game. He could be worth using as a streaming option […]

De'Andre Hunter Will Miss Saturday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Hunter has been dealing with an ankle issue lately, but he's missing this game due to a personal issue. Cam Reddish should see more minutes without Hunter available, so he could be worth using as a streaming option. […]

James Ennis Will Start on Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward James Ennis will draw the start in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It's only his third game with the team, but head coach Steve Clifford trusts him enough to stick him with the first unit. Khem Birch and Wesley Iwundu could see less minutes and usage with Ennis starting. Ennis could […]

Patrick Beverley Returns to Practice

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) was able to return to practice on Friday. He suffered a groin injury on February 6, but had the entire All-Star break to rest and recover. The Clippers may decide to hold out Beverley for Saturday's game since they added depth at guard with Reggie Jackson. Beverley shouldn't […]

Paul George Practices on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) was able to suit up for practice on Friday. George suffered a left hamstring strain during the last game before the All-Star break. The Clippers aren't going to push him too hard, so it's unclear if George is going to suit up for Saturday's game against the Sacramento […]

Luke Kornet Suffers Injury in Practice

Chicago Bulls center Luke Kornet (ankle) is sidelined indefinitely after suffering an injury during Friday's practice. He suffered a sprained left ankle and has no timetable for his return at the moment. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is close to returning, so that's good news for the Bulls. Daniel Gafford and Thaddeus Young could see more […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Could Return on Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) was able to get through a 3-on-3 practice on Friday. He was expected to play in Thursday's game, but the team decided to hold him out of that one. It sounds like Carter might be able to play in Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Fantasy owners should […]

Otto Porter Practices on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) was able to get in some 3-on-3 work during Friday's practice. He was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and appears close to returning to the court. There's a chance that Porter is able to suit up for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ryan Arcidiacono and Shaquille Harrison […]

Markieff Morris Has Agreed on Buyout

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris has agreed to a contract buyout with the organization. He didn't play in Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks, so this was likely already on the table before that game. The Pistons are using the youth movement with Sekou Doumbouya and Christian Wood leading the charge. Thon Maker and John […]

D.J. Augustin is Available on Friday

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) will be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Augustin has been sidelined since the middle of January and missed 15 straight games. He should be eased back into action, so he won't be much of a fantasy option right now. Michael Carter-Williams will see less minutes and […]

Elfrid Payton is Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was playing very well before the All-Star break, so this hurts to lose him when he was finally performing. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina will split up the minutes on Friday. Neither player is worth […]

Ben Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Thursday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to lower back tightness. He reportedly went through a workout and responded well, so that's a good sign for Saturday. Raul Neto would head back to the […]

Kemba Walker Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was limited during Wednesday's practice as a precaution. He has been dealing with left knee soreness, but was able to play 29 minutes during the All-Star Game. It didn't sound like Walker was going to miss this […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable for Friday

New York Knicks guard Wayne Ellington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks may decide to let younger players get more minutes as the season goes on. That means Ellington's role on the team could slowly be declining. Damyean Dotson would see more minutes in the rotation if […]

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Friday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Payton is dealing with right ankle soreness, so hopefully he'll be able to suit up here. He has been the Knicks best option at point guard all season, so losing him hurts. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank […]

Dragan Bender Signs With Warriors

Free-agent forward Dragan Bender plans to sign a 10-day deal with the Golden State Warriors. He was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks roughly two weeks ago when they needed to open up a roster spot for Marvin Williams. Bender hasn't been able to do much during his time in the NBA, but we'll see if […]

Derrick Walton Jr. Signs With Pistons

Free-agent guard Derrick Walton Jr. plans to sign a 10-day deal with the Detroit Pistons. He was waived by the Atlanta Hawks after he was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in a trade-deadline move. The Pistons could use the extra depth with Reggie Jackson accepting a buyout. However, the Pistons have other guards that […]

Eric Gordon is Unlikely to Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (shin) is unlikely to suit up for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said it was likely that Gordon would return for Saturday's contest versus the Utah Jazz. Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, and Danuel House will see more minutes without Gordon available. House is likely […]
