Kawhi Leonard Listed as Out on Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest, knee) has been listed as out for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The Raptors want to keep Leonard healthy for the playoffs, so they will probably rest him quite often down the stretch. Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell will see more minutes without Leonard in the rotation. […]

Kenneth Faried Ruled Out for Thursday

Houston Rockets center Kenneth Faried (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Faried has missed four out of the last five games due to a left knee issue. We could see the Rockets rest him a decent amount down the stretch. Danuel House and Gary Clark will see more minutes […]

Lauri Markkanen is Out for Rest of the Season

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the regular season. Markkanen missed the second half of Tuesday's game due to "an episode of a rapid heart rate and fatigue." The Bulls have no incentive to win, so they aren't going to risk Markkanen's health. Brandon Sampson and Cristiano […]

Patrick Beverley Ruled Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Tuesday's game after suffering a hip injury, so the Clippers are likely just playing it safe now. The Clippers have clinched a postseason spot, so no need to rush Beverley back to the court right […]

Landry Shamet Will Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed one game due to a left ankle issue, but appears fine now. He's not really going to be a fantasy option most nights, but Patrick Beverley (hip) is sitting out, so maybe Shamet gets a […]

Josh Richardson Listed as Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (heel) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat are 0.5 games out of the No. 8 seed, so now is not the time to lose Richardson. Goran Dragic should benefit the most in the absence of Richardson. Dwyane Wade and Dion Waiters will see […]

Harry Giles is Out on Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the fourth game in a row that Giles has been forced to sit out. Nemanja Bjelica, Marvin Bagley, and Willie Cauley-Stein will all benefit in the absence of Giles. Bagley is the best fantasy option […]

Justise Winslow is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (thigh) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Winslow has missed six games in a row due to a bruised right thigh and missed the most recent practice due to an illness. Goran Dragic, Dwyane Wade, and Dion Waiters would see increased playing time if Winslow […]

Josh Richardson is Questionable for Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Richardson is dealing with a bruised left heel, but the Heat are in must-win mode right now. He may decide to play through the pain to help the team, but we'll see what happens. Fantasy owners should check […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was able to practice some on Wednesday, but it's unclear if the Knicks feel ready to let him back on the court. Emmanuel Mudiay and Kadeem Allen have been playing more with Smith sidelined. Mudiay […]

Kevin Knox is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was forced to sit out of Sunday's game after tweaking his right ankle. However, he was able to fully practice on Wednesday, so he should be fine for Thursday.

Ben Simmons Will Play on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Simmons sat out of Monday's loss to Orlando because of an illness, but he appears fine now. T.J. McConnell will move back to the bench with Simmons returning on Thursday. Fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging Simmons into their […]

Anthony Davis is Probable for Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Davis missed Tuesday's game, but was called probable on Monday, so maybe the back issue isn't too serious. Fantasy owners will have to check back on Thursday for more information as Davis' status seems to change quite […]

Josh Jackson Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be the third game in a row that Jackson has missed due to this ankle issue. Mikal Bridges and Troy Daniels will soak up the extra minutes. Bridges is the better fantasy option between the two. […]

Trevor Ariza Ruled Out Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Trevor Ariza (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He played just seven minutes on Tuesday and left after aggravating his groin injury. There is a chance that Ariza is done for the season with this lingering groin issue. Troy Brown Jr. should start with Jeff Green […]

Kris Dunn Ruled Out for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It appears the Bulls are in full tank mode with Dunn, Zach LaVine (thigh), Otto Porter (rotator cuff) and Lauri Markkanen (illness) all sidelined on Wednesday. Ryan Arcidiacono will draw the start and see all the minutes […]

Otto Porter Won't Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. There is a good chance that Porter is done for the season with just seven games left after Wednesday. Wayne Selden should get another start and is someone worth considering in DFS contests.

Zach LaVine Won't Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks the fourth game in a row that LaVine has missed. The Bulls don't have much incentive to win, so they will likely be cautious with LaVine down the stretch. Shaquille Harrison should get another start […]

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He left Tuesday's game early due to an illness, so it appears Markkanen is still under the weather. Brandon Sampson started the second half of Tuesday's game and could be looking at his first start on Wednesday. […]

LeBron James Will Rest on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Lakers will be cautious with James down the stretch of the season. Lance Stephenson is most likely going to draw the start with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kyle […]

Josh Jackson is Questionable for Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, but head coach Igor Kokoskov hinted that Jackson could be able to suit up for Tuesday. Fantasy owners should check back on Wednesday for more information.

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out for Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Johnson has not been able to practice since the injury, so it's not likely he returns to the court soon. De'Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo will continue to split up the guard minutes. That will likely be the […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out for Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He seemed doubtful earlier in the day, so seeing Batum ruled out is not surprising. This marks the third game in a row that Batum has been unable to play due to an illness. Dwayne Bacon should […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Tony Parker Available on Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (concussion) and guard Tony Parker (personal) are both available for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. MKG has missed the last three games after suffering a concussion. Frank Kaminsky and Malik Monk will see less playing time with MKG back in the rotation. Parker missed Sunday's game due to […]

Taj Gibson is Downgraded to Doubtful

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taj Gibson (calf) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Gibson has missed the last two games after suffering a calf injury last Tuesday. Keita Bates-Diop and Gorgui Dieng have been playing more minutes without Gibson available. That should be more of the same if Gibson […]

Eric Gordon is Upgraded to Probable

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gordon suffered a right ankle sprain during Sunday's contest, but it was considered a minor issue. He was able to play through the issue on Sunday, so he should be fine for Tuesday's contest.

Jayson Tatum is Expected to Play on Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (back) is expected to be available on Tuesday after going through shootaround, according to head coach Brad Stevens. He missed Sunday's game due to a back issue, but appears to be in better shape now. Jaylen Brown and Gordon Hayward would see reduced minutes with Tatum back in the rotation. […]

Al Horford is Probable for Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) was able to participate in shootaround and is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Horford missed the weekend back-to-back set with a knee issue, but appears to be making progress. Aron Baynes and Daniel Theis will lose playing time if Horford returns on Tuesday.

Anthony Davis is Doubtful for Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as probable on Monday with a lower back contusion, but that has quickly changed. Jahlil Okafor and Cheick Diallo will split up the minutes at center if Davis is unable to play. Fantasy […]

Elfrid Payton Upgraded to Probable on Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (wrist) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable with a right wrist contusion, but it appears he's feeling better on Tuesday. He's slowed down a bit after his triple-double streak came to an end. Payton is still seeing plenty […]
