Omri Casspi is Doubtful for Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Garrett Temple (shoulder) has already been ruled out, so the Grizzlies are going to be shorthanded at the wing. Justin Holiday, Shelvin Mack, and Bruno Caboclo will see plenty of playing time on Saturday. Holiday is the best fantasy option […]

Garrett Temple Won't Play on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Garrett Temple (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Temple suffered a left shoulder sprain during Friday's contest. Justin Holiday and Bruno Caboclo will likely be forced into heavy minutes on Saturday. Holiday is worth looking at in DFS contests.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (rest) will not play in Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, according to Chris Haynes. Lillard has played in every game this season, but it looks like he'll get the night off against the struggling Hawks. Evan Turner and Seth Curry should gain playing time, while C.J. McCollum runs […]

Joel Embiid Won't Play on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) will not play in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Sixers are calling it "rest", but Embiid has been dealing with back tightness lately, and that's likely played a role in it. Mike Muscala, Amir Johnson, and Jonah Bolden will split up the minutes in his absence.

Jimmy Butler is Doubtful for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) is going to see a specialist in Los Angeles, according to Shams Charania.

Jabari Parker Expects to Play on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker (knee) was able to practice on Thursday and is listed as probable to play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Temple is dealing with right heel soreness, but was able to play almost 40 minutes on Wednesday with the issue. It sounds like Temple is going to be able to play on Friday, but he won't be much […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Could Miss Over A Month

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (thumb) suffered torn ligaments in his right thumb and is considering having surgery. Originally, Dinwiddie was expected to miss roughly four to six weeks.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson hinted that the injury was minor, so hopefully it won't sideline RHJ for too long. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game […]

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out for Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Gallinari continues to deal with lower back spasms and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to the court. Patrick Beverley has been benefiting from the loss of Gallinari. He will continue to log in heavy […]

Larry Nance Jr. is Probable for Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Nance went down with a right knee sprain and was expected to miss 2-4 weeks of action. It appears Nance is ready to return right in the middle of that window. Tristan Thompson (foot) has been ruled […]

Ish Smith is Doubtful for Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is the second groin issue that Smith has dealt with this season, so the Pistons might want to remain cautious and hold him out.

Briscoe suffered a sprained right ankle during Wednesday's contest and was unable to return to that contest. Jerian Grant saw 19 minutes as the backup point guard to D.J. Augustin. That should be a similar plan with Briscoe […]

Dion Waiters Uncertain for Friday

Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (head) did not participate in shootaround and is uncertain for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Waiters is dealing with a migraine, so this is something that should only sideline him for one game maximum. Dwyane Wade, Tyler Johnson and Rodney McGruder would see increased playing time if Waiters is […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out for Friday

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni.

Rondo should be added in just […]

Jeff Teague is Ruled Out for Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

James Harden would lose a little […]

Victor Oladipo is Done for the Season

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) suffered a ruptured quad tendon in his right knee and will undergo season ending surgery. It hasn't been officially announced that Oladipo will miss the rest of the season, but Tony Parker missed roughly six months after suffering the same injury. Tyreke Evans and Cory Joseph are going to […]

Nikola Mirotic Ruled Out for Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
