Myles Turner Expected to Miss Two Weeks
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the next few weeks after suffering an injury during Wednesday's game. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain and is expected to miss around two weeks of action. Domantas Sabonis should benefit the most from the loss of Turner. Goga […]

Anthony Davis Was Limited on Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice, but plans to play on Friday. Davis had multiple injuries in his left shoulder before, but the team doesn't believe this is serious. More information should be known after shootaround on Friday, but fantasy owners should expect Davis to play.

Rajon Rondo is Out for Next Three Games
Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) has been ruled out for the next three games. He will travel with the team, but will sit out Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday. The Lakers will likely use a committee approach to fill the void. Avery Bradley is expected to have the most fantasy value out of the […]

Enes Kanter Will Sit Out on Friday
Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Kanter is dealing with a bruised left knee, but it doesn't seem too serious. The team is likely just playing it safe for right now. Daniel Theis (ankle) is probable and Robert Williams will split time at […]

Jaylen Brown Could Sit Out Friday
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Marcus Smart started against the Bucks on Wednesday, so he'll likely do it again, assuming Brown is sidelined. More information will be known after shootaround on Friday. Fantasy owners will just have to sit tight until then.

Daniel Theis is Probable Versus Knicks
Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He recently returned from an ankle injury, but seems to have tweaked it during Wednesday's contest. Enes Kanter (knee) has already been ruled out, so Theis and Robert Williams will be busy on Friday.

Elfrid Payton Ruled Out for Friday
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) will join Payton on the sideline for this one. RJ Barrett will get the nod in the starting five, while Frank Ntilikina and Wayne Ellington will see extended roles off the bench. Barrett […]

RJ Barrett Will Start on Friday
New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) have both been ruled out for this one. Frank Ntilikina and Wayne Ellington will come off the bench as the extra guards. Barrett will have solid DFS value here, […]

Wayne Ellington is Starting on Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Wayne Ellington will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Elfrid Payton (hamstring) and Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) are both unavailable for this one. Frank Ntilikina was the favorite to start, but it sounds like he'll come off the bench. Ellington is a deep league option, […]

Steven Adams is Questionable for Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Adams suffered a left knee contusion on Monday and was unable to play through it. The Thunder don't play again until Saturday, so they could rest Adams here and give him plenty of time to get […]

Zach Collins is Officially Ruled Out Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Collins is dealing with a dislocated shoulder, so he could be sidelined multiple weeks. The team has not given a timetable yet, so fantasy owners will need to be patient. Mario Hezonja and Skal Labissiere will […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out The Next Two Games
New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Orlando and Friday in Boston. Smith is dealing with a death in the family and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) won't suit up on Wednesday. Frank Ntilikina is the only guard available on the roster, but R.J. Barrett and Allonzo Trier […]

Daniel Theis is Available on Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Saturday's game due to a minor ankle injury, but is fine for this one. Theis should be looking at more minutes on Wednesday with Enes Kanter (knee) unavailable. Robert Williams and Theis should split up the minutes […]

Jeremy Lamb is Back in the Starting Lineup
Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Lamb didn't perform well in the season opener and hasn't suited up since due to injury. Edmond Sumner (hand) is out for this one, so Lamb could see a few extra minutes. We'll see if Lamb […]

Edmond Sumner is Ruled Out Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Edmond Sumner (hand) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Sumner has started the last two games, but was going to head to the second unit with Jeremy Lamb (hip) back in action on Wednesday. It's unclear how long Sumner is going to be sidelined, but he wasn't […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Questionable for Wednesday
Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Carter's left eye is really swollen, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Luke Kornet is expected to draw the start at center, assuming Carter is unable to play. Rookie Daniel Gafford would probably jump into the rotation […]

Blake Griffin is Traveling for Road Trip
Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) is traveling with the team for their upcoming two-game road trip. Griffin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game, but there's a chance he plays on Friday against Chicago. He was able to get in some work on Wednesday, but the team is going to be cautious with […]
Andy Webb
Reggie Jackson Won't Travel for Road Trip
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) won't travel with the team for their upcoming two-game road trip. He won't play on Wednesday and it sounds unlikely that he suits up versus the Bulls on Friday. Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier, and Luke Kennard will continue to split up the minutes. Rose is the best fantasy option […]

Trae Young Doesn't Need MRI
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) will not require an MRI on his sprained ankle. Young was forced out of Tuesday's game after suffering a sprained right ankle, but is listed as day-to-day. He won't play in Thursday's game, but that is just the Hawks being cautious with their young star. He's going to be […]

Rodney McGruder is Expected to Play Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is expected to be available to make his season debut on Wednesday. The Clippers could use the depth with Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting this one out versus Utah. It's unlikely McGruder plays heavy minutes, but having him out there would be huge. Maurice Harkless is expected to start […]
Andy Webb
Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Jazz
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) is not going to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The load management is already starting just four games into the season. The Clippers play a back-to-back set so that's probably why Leonard is sitting out here. Maurice Harkless and Rodney McGruder (ankle) will be […]

Otto Porter is Available Against Cavs
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) is active and available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Porter was hit in the mouth on Saturday and required stitches after the game. He appears to be fine to play, but hasn't done much on the court this season. Porter will be out there, but DFS players […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Will Make Season Debut on Wednesday
Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) will make his team debut against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. He's been scrimmaging with the G-League team over the last week. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cauley-Stein limited in his first game back, but it'll be a boost nonetheless. Kevon Looney (hamstring) remains sidelined, so Cauley-Stein […]

Kyle Kuzma is Practicing With G-League
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) is practicing with the Lakers' G-League team on Wednesday. Kuzma is expected to return to the Lakers for another practice on Thursday. There is a chance that Kuzma suits up for the team on Friday, but that depends on how he feels after Thursday. He should be owned […]

Jrue Holiday Should Play on Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holiday has been banged up since the first game of the season last week. He was able to practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign moving forward. Fantasy owners can be hopeful that they get Holiday […]
Andy Webb
Derrick Favors Listed as Doubtful for Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He did not practice on Wednesday, which makes it difficult to see him suiting up on Thursday. Jaxson Hayes, Jahlil Okafor and Nicolo Melli should all see extra minutes without Favors. Hayes might have the most upside […]

Jaylen Brown is Sitting Out Against Bucks
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) is not suiting up for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's dealing with an illness, so he shouldn't be sidelined for long. Semi Ojeleye is expected to jump into the starting five, while Marcus Smart and Carsen Edwards will see more minutes off the bench. None of these […]
Andy Webb
Kelly Olynyk Will Play on Tuesday
Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (quad) is available for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as probable earlier in the day due to a left quad contusion, but is active for this one. He's been playing well through the first three games of the season and should be owned in deep leagues.
Andy Webb
Reggie Jackson is Doubtful for Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Jackson has been dealing with back soreness since the beginning of the season last week. However, Derrick Rose and Luke Kennard have been able to keep things productive at the guard position. The Pistons may mix things up, […]

Dwight Powell is Probable for Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Powell is expected to make his season debut after missing the first week due to hamstring issues. Dorian Finney-Smith should move back to the bench and will see less playing time, assuming Powell suits up. Maximilian Kleber will […]
