Tim Hardaway Jr. Uncertain to Play on Sunday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He left Friday's game due to a left hamstring cramp, but was listed as probable for Sunday's game. However, it appears the Knicks are going to wait and see how Hardaway feels before game time. Damyean […]

Frank Ntilikina, Damyean Dotson Available on Sunday

New York Knicks guards Frank Ntilikina (ankle) and Damyean Dotson (calf) will play in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ntilikina has missed the last three games, but will suit up for this contest. He'll see increased playing time if Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) sits out. Dotson left Friday's game with a calf contusion, but […]

Enes Kanter Ruled Out for Sunday

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be his second straight game on the sidelines. Luke Kornet started at center and played 20 minutes on Friday. Noah Vonleh and Kevin Knox could also see increased playing time without Kanter.

Fred VanVleet is Out on Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. VanVleet hasn't seen as much playing time lately with Kyle Lowry healthy. Delon Wright and Norman Powell will benefit with VanVleet sidelined. Neither player will benefit enough to be used in DFS contests.

Joel Embiid Could Sit Out on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Embiid is dealing with right ankle soreness and sat out of Friday's contest. Mike Muscala drew the start at center and would likely start again if Embiid is forced out. However, Muscala isn't much of a DFS […]

Jimmy Butler is Uncertain to Play on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (rib) is uncertain to play in Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Butler appeared to be injured during Friday's contest, but was able to play through the discomfort. Furkan Korkmaz and Landry Shamet would see increased playing time if Butler is forced to sit out. Shamet has more upside […]

Frank Ntilikina is Questionable for Sunday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ntilikina has missed the last three games due to a tendon issue in his ankle. The Knicks may decide to remain cautious and rest Ntilikina on Sunday. However, the team is banged up at the guard position with Damyean […]

Tim Hardaway Jr., Damyean Dotson Probable for Sunday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) and guard Damyean Dotson (calf) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hardaway injured his left hamstring during Friday's contest. It doesn't seem serious, so hopefully Hardaway can suit up for Sunday. Dotson left Friday's game due to a calf contusion and was […]

Enes Kanter is Doubtful for Sunday

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (illness) was not able to practice on Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kanter missed practice on Thursday and sat out of Friday's game due to flu-like symptoms. Luke Kornet should start at center if Kanter is unable to play. He could […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable for Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Embiid sat out of Friday's game against the Hawks due to right ankle soreness. Mike Muscala started and played fairly solid, while Jonah Bolden saw extra minutes off the bench. Amir Johnson (migraine) did not play on […]

Eric Gordon Could Return Next Week

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) could return sometime next week, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni, Gordon will not play in Sunday's game and that will mark his seventh straight absence. Austin Rivers, Gerald Green, and Danuel House will continue seeing increased playing time without Gordon.

Dewayne Dedmon is Questionable on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Dedmon looked like he suffered a left ankle injury during Friday's game. Alex Len would likely jump into the starting five if Dedmon is unable to play. Omari Spellman would see more playing time as well, but Len is the […]

Taurean Prince is Questionable for Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Prince has been doing on-court work this week and is traveling with the team. Deandre Bembry and Jeremy Lin should lose some playing time once Prince is able to return. Prince is worth an add in most fantasy leagues since […]

J.J. Barea is Done for the Season

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (Achilles) has torn his torn right Achilles tendon. The 34-year-old veteran has dealt with multiple lower leg injuries in the past, so the Mavs are going to be cautious here. Hopefully Barea is able to return sometime next season, but in the meantime Jalen Brunson and Maximilian Kleber should see […]

Derrick Rose is Questionable for Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He returned from a six game absence on Friday and scored 21 points in 28 minutes. It sounds like Rose should be fine for this contest, but fantasy owners should check back before game time.

Bobby Portis is Questionable for Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. It sounds like he suffered a right elbow injury on Friday, so the Bulls might be cautious in the back-to-back set. Jabari Parker and Robin Lopez should see more minutes if Portis sits out on Saturday.

Hassan Whiteside Ruled Out on Saturday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bam Adebayo will draw the start at center, but has a tough matchup against the Grizzlies. He's worth using in standard leagues, but it's tough to trust him in DFS contests on Saturday.

Trey Lyles is Questionable for Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Trey Lyles (wrist) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Lyles has not missed a game this season, but is dealing with a right wrist sprain. Lyles doesn't offer much in terms of fantasy production and should be left on the waiver wire in most leagues. Paul Millsap could see […]

Ish Smith is Questionable for Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's been out for over a month, but head coach Dwane Casey said Smith could return on this road trip. There is a good chance he'd only see limited minutes anyway since he hasn't played in a […]

Tony Parker is Likely Sitting Out on Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tony Parker (rest) has a good chance of sitting out of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach James Borrego. He played 12 minutes on Friday and the Hornets want to make sure to be cautious with Parker. He doesn't have much of an impact in fantasy basketball anyway. […]

Mohamed Bamba Ruled Out for Saturday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is not surprising news after head coach Steve Clifford said earlier in the week that he doesn't expect Bamba to play this weekend. The MRI came back clean on Bamba's foot, so hopefully it's just a day-to-day […]

Steven Adams is Available on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He tweaked his ankle during Thursday's contest, but was able to return to the game. He shouldn't be limited at all during Saturday's contest. Adams remains a solid DFS option against the Spurs.

Ish Smith Expected to Return Soon

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is expected to return during the current road trip. He has been sidelined since December 5, but is getting closer to a return. The Pistons play Saturday and Monday, so there's a chance Smith could play in those contests. Jose Calderon and Langston Galloway will lose minutes once Smith […]

E'Twaun Moore is Probable for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (quad) is probable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Moore has been sidelined the last two games due to a left quad issue. Darius Miller started in both those contests, but would move back to the bench and see reduced minutes with Moore back.

Mohamed Bamba Likely Out This Weekend

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) is unlikely to play in the back-to-back set this weekend, according to head coach Steve Clifford. An MRI revealed no structural damage of his sore left foot. Nikola Vucevic will be forced into heavier minutes without Bamba available. Khem Birch could see more minutes as well, but not enough […]

D.J. Wilson Upgraded to Questionable on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward D.J. Wilson (hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games and was originally listed as doubtful for Friday. Normally, Wilson's status wouldn't matter for fantasy basketball, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad/hip) is doubtful for Friday. Wilson could see extra minutes on the […]

Derrick Rose Upgraded to Probable

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It sounded like earlier in the day that Rose was going to be a game-time decision for Friday. He's missed the last six games due to an ankle issue, but appears close to returning. Tyus Jones would […]

Dirk Nowitzki Will Play on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He has missed the last two games due to an illness and rest. However, he's only seeing minutes in the teens off the bench, so Nowitzki can be left on the waiver wire.

Rudy Gay Has No Timetable to Return

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) has no timetable to return and is out indefinitely. Gay has missed three straight games and four of the last six due to a sprained left wrist. Hopefully it's something that will only sideline him for a week or so and fantasy owners can get him back soon. […]

Myles Turner Ruled Out on Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the fourth straight game that Turner has missed in a row. Domantas Sabonis will draw another start and be a popular DFS option for Friday. Kyle O'Quinn will see increased playing time off the bench.
