LeBron James Will Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) will play in Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as probable on the injury report, but that was likely just a precautionary move. He should be asked to do most of the heavy lifting on offense, especially after the moves on Thursday. The Lakers will […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (back) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Gallinari has been out the last 10 days, but returns with a bigger role on the team. Tobias Harris has been traded, so Gallinari will be asked to do more on offense. He needs to be […]

Jeff Teague is Upgraded to Questionable

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Teague has been upgraded to questionable, but there is no guarantee he'll be out there. Tyus Jones (ankle) and Derrick Rose (ankle) are already ruled out. Jerryd Bayless is looking like he's going to see big minutes on […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rose has missed five of the last games due to a right ankle issue. Jerryd Bayless should see heavy minutes with Tyus Jones (ankle) also sidelined and Jeff Teague (foot) questionable for this one.

Mohamed Bamba is Without A Timetable

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) underwent a surgery to correct a stress fracture in his left tibia. There is a high possibility that Bamba is done for the season. Khem Birch will pick up most of the backup center minutes going forward and could be worth a look in deep leagues.

Caris LeVert is Available on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It sounds like LeVert is ready to play after going through two practices this week. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Nets ease him back into action. LeVert hasn't played since November, so they probably won't push it. DeMarre […]

Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart Available on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (hip) and guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Kuzma continues to battle a hip issue, so the Lakers will keep a close eye on that going forward. The Lakers may limit his playing time if the hip issue continues to bother […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be the second game in a row that Osman has missed due to an ankle issue. The Cavs will likely use a committee approach to fill the void going forward. Osman should be considered questionable for […]

Marcin Gortat Waived by Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers center Marcin Gortat has been waived by the Clippers and will become a free agent. The Clippers traded Boban Marjanovic and moved recently acquired Mike Muscala as well. Montrezl Harrell will see plenty of minutes at center along with Johnathan Motley helping out off the bench. Ivica Zubac should get playing time […]

Gary Harris Won't Play on Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to get ruled out early, so that's not a good sign going forward. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Nuggets hold Harris out until after the All-Star break. Monte Morris and Malik Beasley will continue […]

Paul Millsap is Questionable for Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Millsap has missed the last three games due to a sore right ankle. Mason Plumlee has been starting, so he'll move back to the bench if Millsap returns for this one. Trey Lyles would see less playing time […]

Lonnie Walker Won't Play on Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Walker has not been a big part of the Spurs rotation this season. He played 26 minutes on Wednesday, but it's rare to see him play big minutes. He can be left on the waiver […]

Wesley Matthews is Planning Buyout with Knicks

New York Knicks guard/forward Wesley Matthews has agreed on a contract buyout with the Knicks and plans to sign with the Pacers. Matthews has $18.6 million left on his contract, so it was difficult for the Knicks to find a trade partner. Victor Oladipo (knee) is out for the rest of the season, so the […]

Enes Kanter Released By Knicks

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter has been released and will become a free agent. The team was unable to find a trade partner for the $18.6 million dollar big man. It should not take Kanter too long to find another team. His fantasy value will increase wherever he lands, so fantasy owners should keep […]

Tyler Johnson Has Been Traded to Phoenix

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson has been traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson. This is clearly a salary swap move, but Johnson is the better player, so it hurts the Heat. The Suns desperately need guard help, so Johnson should be able to easily play 30 minutes in Phoenix. He needs […]

Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr. Should Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Courtney Lee and guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. should be available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both are expected to make their team debuts alongside Trey Burke. Lee didn't do much with the Knicks, but should see a bigger role in Dallas. However, he'll likely only be a deep league option […]

Trey Burke Should Be Available on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He will make his team debut, but should remain left on the waiver wire for the moment. Head coach Rick Carlisle will likely have Burke come off the bench at first. He'll compete with Jalen Brunson for playing […]

Julius Randle is Questionable for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Randle is battling a right ankle issue and has been involved in trade rumors. The Pelicans are likely not going to risk anything here, so don't expect Randle to be on the court. Nikola Mirotic (calf) is doubtful, so […]

Anthony Davis Will Sit Out on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (personal) will sit out of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Davis has been medically cleared to play, but the Pelicans have decided to bench him until after the trade deadline. The Pelicans are banged up, so Jahlil Okafor should see big minutes once again and be a popular […]

Jamal Murray is Questionable on Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is getting closer to a return, but remains listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to head coach Mike Malone. Monte Morris would lose minutes and value with Murray back on the court. Fantasy owners are going to need to check back closer to game […]

John Collins Will Play on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (face) will play in Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Collins was forced to leave Monday's contest after suffering a facial laceration. However, it appears he'll be fine to play on Thursday. Omari Spellman won't be asked to do as much with Collins back in the rotation.

Devin Booker is Likely Out on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. However, this comes from the NBA injury report, so nothing official from the Suns yet. Booker left Monday's game in the fourth quarter after experiencing right hamstring tightness. He was expected to play on Wednesday, but the Suns […]

Wayne Selden is Probable for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Wayne Selden (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Selden is dealing with left knee soreness, but was able to fully practice on Tuesday. Selden has been hit-or-miss, so DFS players probably shouldn't take the risk. He's not really worth owning in most formats right now.

Robert Williams is Questionable for Thursday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams is only dealing with back soreness, so nothing major at the moment. Daniel Theis would soak up most of the backup minutes behind Al Horford if Williams is unable to play.

Marcus Morris Will Play Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) will play in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Morris is dealing with right knee soreness, but luckily it only forced him to miss one game. Jaylen Brown will head back to the bench and lose some value since it's unlikely that Morris would have any minutes limit.

Kyrie Irving Will Play Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving has missed three of the last five games due to a left hip injury, but is expected to return on Thursday. Terry Rozier will head back to the bench with Irving back in action against the Lakers.

Reggie Bullock Won't Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Reggie Bullock will not be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock was traded to the Lakers from the Pistons, but will go through a post-trade physical on Wednesday. He should be ready to make his debut for the Lakers on Sunday. Bullock won't do enough to warrant owning in […]

Allen Crabbe is Available on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Crabbe has been sidelined the last two months due to a right knee issue. The Nets are likely going to ease him back into action, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect much from Crabbe. Rodions Kurucs and Shabazz Napier have taken […]

Devin Booker Should Be Fine for Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) says he felt fine after Monday's game and believes he can play in Wednesday's contest versus the Utah Jazz. Booker left in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Rockets due to a right hamstring issue. It doesn't appear the issue was anything serious, so Booker should be […]

Allen Crabbe is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) was able to fully practice on Tuesday and is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson. Crabbe has been out since December 12 due to right knee soreness, but is finally on track to return. However, the Nets are crowded […]
