Jabari Parker is Downgraded to Questionable

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (shoulder) is downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as probable on Thursday, but has been downgraded as game time approaches. John Collins has taken away most of Parker's value, so fantasy owners should begin looking for better fantasy options regardless.

Bradley Beal is Questionable for Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) is questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He left Thursday's game against the Pistons in the third quarter and didn't return due to lower leg soreness. The Wizards season isn't going in the right direction and they might decide to rest their star player here. Troy […]

Eric Gordon Suits Up for Practice on Friday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gordon underwent right knee surgery in November, but appears ready to return now. Russell Westbrook (knee) is going to sit out on Sunday after playing in Saturday's contest. Gordon wasn't […]

Clint Capela is Doubtful for Saturday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been dealing with a bruised right heel, but played 41 minutes on Monday. However, Capela only played 29 minutes on Christmas Day, so the Rockets could be attempting to limit him. Tyson Chandler and Isaiah Hartenstein will […]

Russell Westbrook Will Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook will suit up for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. However, Westbrook will sit out the second game of the back-to-back set on Sunday. Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, and Eric Gordon (knee) will be asked to do more on Sunday. All of them could be useful deep league options, but […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Downgraded to Doubtful

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as probable on Thursday, so it's quite surprising to see a different story now. However, the Bucks play again on Saturday, so this is possibly the team playing it safe. Khris Middleton would be asked […]

LeBron James Should Play on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is expected to travel with the team and play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. He re-aggravated his groin during Wednesday's game, but received treatment on Thursday. Fantasy owners should check back for another update on Saturday. However, it sounds like James is going to be ready […]

Dennis Schroder is Questionable on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He seemed fine on Thursday when he dropped 20 points with three rebounds and three assists against the Grizzlies. Chris Paul would be asked to carry the load more on offense if Schroder misses time. Deonte Burton […]

Mitchell Robinson Could Sit Out on Saturday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He looked good during Thursday's game, but picked up a toe injury along the way. Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis would see increased playing time if Robinson is forced to sit out. Both players could be worth […]

Marvin Bagley Doesn't Practice on Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. He suffered a left foot injury during Thursday's game and didn't return to that contest. The Kings are going to be cautious with Bagley, so he could sit out a game or two. Nemanja Bjelica would start if Bagley is unable […]

Otto Porter Wants to Return Around All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) is hopeful that he'll be able to get back on the court around the All-Star break. Fantasy owners who were holding Porter can feel safe to drop him now. He wasn't playing well before the injury and the Bulls aren't exactly a competitive team right now. Fantasy owners can […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play Versus Cavs

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's getting closer to a return, but the Celtics are going to be cautious and sit him at least one more game. There's a chance that he suits up for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Gordon Hayward […]

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out of Friday's Practice

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. It appears he's under the weather, but the Bulls don't play again until Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. Thaddeus Young would benefit the most if Markkanen is unable to play on Saturday. Young would be worth a look as a DFS […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. However, he's getting much closer to a return and could be ready to play by Monday. There's a good chance that he comes off the bench, but he'll hold fantasy value in most standard leagues. Fantasy owners should […]

Dante Exum Will Make Team Debut on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum will join the rotation for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, according to head coach John Beilein. Exum will likely jump into Jordan Clarkson's role, but the Cavs will be cautious with him. Kevin Porter Jr. and Cedi Osman could see more minutes as well. Exum is only worth a […]

Larry Nance Jr. Will Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He did not suit up for Monday's game due to knee soreness. Nance should see more chances coming his way with Jordan Clarkson in Utah now. He should be owned in most fantasy leagues at the moment.

De'Aaron Fox is Unable to Practice on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (back) was unable to suit up for practice on Friday. He suffered a back injury early in Thursday's contest and was unable to return to that game. It's unclear whether or not Fox will suit up for Saturday's game. Cory Joseph would start if Fox is unable to play and […]

Davis Bertans Won't Play Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It sounds like Bertans could miss at least a week of action, so that's not good news for Wizards' fans. Ian Mahinmi and Anzejs Pasecniks will continue to see a decent amount of minutes in the rotation with […]

Danilo Gallinari is Out on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the second game in a row that Gallinari has missed due to a sore ankle. There's a chance that he plays on Friday, but it's a wait and see kind of thing. Darius Bazley is […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play on Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He missed Monday's game due to a left groin issue. The contest on Friday is the first game of a back-to-back set. The Pacers may decide to take the cautious approach and have Brogdon sit out the first […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Will Try to Play on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) will try to play in Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Pistons have lost five straight games and aren't in good shape at the moment. Having Brown back will help, but he's a risky DFS option for Thursday. It's unclear how much he's going to play, so […]

Luka Doncic Will Return on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed that Doncic will return on Thursday, so fantasy owners can feel safe about plugging him back into their lineups. There's a chance that he'll see a minutes limit after missing […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Participates in Shootaround

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was able to participate in shootaround on Thursday. He's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but reportedly looked good during shootaround. Cory Joseph and Trevor Ariza will lose playing time if Bogdanovic returns on Thursday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off for more […]

Justise Winslow Remains Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) remains out of the rotation for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He did some light shooting at practice on Thursday, but continues to deal with a bone bruise in his back. It's unclear when Winslow is going to return to the court. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, and Kendrick […]

Taj Gibson is Good to Go for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He sat out of Monday's game due to an illness, but it appears that he's feeling better now. Mitchell Robinson has been outplaying Gibson most games, so it'll be interesting to see if […]

Deandre Ayton is Listed as Out for Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was able to practice on Thursday, but it appears he'll sit out Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The Suns are going to be cautious with their star center, so he'll likely sit out until […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out for Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Carter-Williams has been sidelined. It's unclear at the moment how long he's going to be out. D.J. Augustin and Wesley Iwundu will gain some playing time until Carter-Williams returns. […]

PJ Washington Should Return on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington has missed the last five games with a pinky issue, but is probable for Friday. Nicolas Batum should head back to the second unit, while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is probably bounced out of the rotation. Washington […]

Eric Paschall is Questionable for Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He left Wednesday's contest against the Rockets and didn't return after playing only seven minutes. Draymond Green, Marquese Chriss, and possibly Willie Cauley-Stein will gain value if Paschall is sidelined on Friday. Green and Cauley-Stein are the only two […]

Kevon Looney Ruled Out for Weekend Set

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdominal) has been ruled out for the next two games. Looney is dealing with soreness in his abdominal and won't suit up for Friday or Saturday's contest. Willie Cauley-Stein will gain some playing time and should be worth adding in most formats. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss could see […]
