David Nwaba, Rodney Hood Ruled Out Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guards David Nwaba (ankle) and Rodney Hood (Achilles) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. It's unclear how long Nwaba is going to be sidelined, so he belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues. Hood will miss his third straight game and the Cavs are going to continue […]

Kyle Lowry is Sitting Out on Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Lowry has now missed five of the last six games. He also missed Thursday's practice, so it's unclear when Lowry is going to be able to take the court. Fred Vanvleet has been solid during his starts this […]

Alex Len Won't Play Against Minnesota

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Len will miss his second game in a row due to a back issue. Dewayne Dedmon will see increased playing time without Len on the floor. Dedmon was solid last game and is worth a look in DFS […]

Allen Crabbe Ruled Out for Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was able to fully practice on Thursday, but Crabbe isn't ready for game action yet. Rodions Kurucs has been great as a fill-in and should steal away minutes from Crabbe when he returns.

James Harden Expected to Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (calf) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden suffered a left calf contusion during the Christmas Day game, but appears to be fine. He should continue to see heavy usage with Chris Paul (hamstring) sidelined. Fantasy owners should check back before tip-off just to be […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Misses Shootaround

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness) did not participate in shootaround and is a game-time decision for Thursday's game. Courtney Lee is expected to join the starting five if Hardaway is sidelined. Damyean Dotson should see more minutes coming his way as well. Fantasy owners will need to check back for an update.

JaVale McGee is Doubtful for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is not expected to play in Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach Luke Walton. He's missed the last five games due to an illness and is likely going to sit out again. Ivica Zubac will continue to benefit if McGee is unable to suit […]

Josh Hart Will Start on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. LeBron James (groin) will be sidelined for this contest and could be out multiple games. Both Hart and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will see an increase in playing time on Thursday.

John Collins is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed Sunday's game, but was able to fully participate in shootaround. He could be forced to play heavy minutes with the Hawks banged up. Collins could be an interesting DFS option if he's able to suit up.

Serge Ibaka is Probable for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Ibaka has missed the last four games due to a knee issue, but is on track to play on Wednesday. OG Anunoby would return to the second unit and Greg Monroe would lose some minutes with Ibaka back […]

Derrick Rose is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is most likely going to play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Rose should draw another start and could be in for a big game against his former team. Tyus Jones would return to the bench with Rose back in the starting five. Rose would be a solid […]

Gary Harris, Paul Millsap Limited in Shootaround

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) and forward Paul Millsap (foot) were limited during Wednesday's shootaround. Neither player is going to play on Wednesday, but it sounds like both of them are nearing a return. Torrey Craig and Monte Morris will benefit without Harris on the court. Although, Morris is the better fantasy option out […]

Tyreke Evans is Questionable for Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Evans was able to practice on Monday, but is a game-time decision for this contest. Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday would lose minutes if Evans does play.

Zach LaVine is A Game-Time Decision for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It sounds like LaVine is going to test out his ankle before the game and see how it feels. Jim Boylen said LaVine would come off the bench on Wednesday if he's cleared to play. That means he's […]

Wesley Matthews is Questionable for Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was able to play through the foot issue last game, so he should be fine for Wednesday. Fantasy owners should check back for another update closer to game time.

J.J. Barea, Dirk Nowitzki Probable on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (hamstring) and forward Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) are listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Barea tweaked his hamstring on Sunday, but was able to finish the game. He's expected to be fine for this game and should see roughly 20 minutes. Nowitzki sat out last game […]

Marvin Bagley Ruled Out for Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Bagley is dealing with a left knee bone bruise and there has been no word of him practicing. Nemanja Bjelica will continue to play roughly 30 minutes per contest until Bagley is able to return. Justin Jackson […]

James Harden is Questionable for Thursday

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden still managed to play 39 minutes on Tuesday despite dealing with a bruised left calf. Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers would be asked to do the heavy lifting at the guard positions with Chris Paul (hamstring) […]

LeBron James Ruled Out for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. James is dealing with a left groin injury and it would be surprising to see him playing against the Clippers on Friday. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope or Josh Hart would be the most likely candidates to join the starting […]

Kevin Durant is Probable Versus Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant tweaked his ankle on Sunday, but still managed to play 38 minutes in that contest. He's expected to play despite having a minor ankle issue. Fantasy owners shouldn't have to worry about Durant sitting out […]

JaVale McGee Ruled Out for Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. McGee has been battling pneumonia and spent three days in the hospital. Ivica Zubac is expected to draw the start at center and has played well over the last two games. However, the Warriors are a […]

Derrick Rose Practiced on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) was able to practice on Monday. Rose left Friday's game due to a left ankle issue and missed Sunday's contest against Oklahoma City. Jeff Teague (ankle) has been sidelined, so Rose has seen an uptick in playing time and usage lately. Fantasy owners will need to check back on […]

Tyreke Evans is A Game-Time Decision for Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Evans has been dealing with a bruised right knee, but was able to practice on Monday. Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday will lose playing time once Evans returns.

Wilson Chandler is Questionable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (quad) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Chandler was forced to miss Saturday's game due to a left quad contusion. Mike Muscala and Furkan Korkmaz should see extra playing time if Chandler is unable to play on Tuesday.

Allonzo Trier is Probable on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Allonzo Trier (hamstring) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It appears that Trier has been cleared for the Christmas Day game, but he'll only play limited minutes. The Knicks want to get Trier involved as much as possible, so he's worth adding in deep leagues right […]

Tyreke Evans Practices on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) returned to practice on Monday after missing the last two games. Evan is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Evans is dealing with a bruised right knee, but isn't much of a fantasy option when he's healthy. Evans can be ignored in standard leagues and […]

Austin Rivers Will Debut on Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers will make his team debut with the Rockets on Wednesday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Chris Paul (hamstring) is expected to miss a couple of weeks. Rivers should get a decent amount of minutes, but James Harden is going to run most of the offense. Rivers is only worth a […]

JaVale McGee is Doubtful for Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. McGee was in the hospital over the weekend and was discharged on Saturday. Tyson Chandler (back) is listed as questionable for this one. Ivica Zubac would be a favorable DFS option with both McGee and Chandler […]

Chris Conley is Quiet Once Again

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has collected a total of seven receptions over the last three weeks. Conley has been filling in for Sammy Watkins (foot), but he's done basically nothing over the last few weeks. Conley caught three of his five targets for 54 yards in the loss to the Seahawks. Fantasy […]

Travis Kelce Grabs Five Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was not the best fantasy option this week and was held in check fairly well by the Seahawks defense. Kelce caught five of his nine targets for 54 yards and he did not have a touchdown. Kelce broke his four game streak of having at least 60 receiving […]
