Jerami Grant Won't Play on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Grant was unable to play on Monday, so Patrick Patterson drew the start. Deonte Burton played much better than Patterson is that game, so he'll be the better fantasy option for Thursday.

Dennis Schroder Won't Play on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Schroder is still out after the birth of his child, so fantasy owners can expect him back after the All-Star break. Raymond Felton should soak up a majority of the backup guard minutes behind Russell Westbrook.

Kevin Huerter is Probable for Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He was able to play 25 minutes on Tuesday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. Fantasy owners should expect Huerter out there for this one, but should double check before tip-off.

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It sounds like head coach Alvin Gentry is leaning towards holding out Payton until after the All-Star break. Frank Jackson and Tim Frazier will see increased minutes without Payton on the court. Frazier is the better […]

Jaylen Adams is Probable on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jaylen Adams (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Jeremy Lin is now with the Toronto Raptors, so Adams should see around 20 minutes as the backup guard to Trae Young. However, Adams is not a must-add player in fantasy leagues right now.

Markelle Fultz Still Has No Timetable

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (shoulder) is still without a timetable and won't rush back to the court. Fultz was traded to Orlando at the deadline, and has been given a chance to hit the reset button. It's unclear whether or not Fultz will actually suit up for the Magic this season. He could be […]

Malik Monk Expected to Play on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk was in the G-League, but has been recalled and is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. Tony Parker (back) is not expected to play, so Monk should see minutes as the backup point guard to Kemba Walker.

Mario Hezonja is Doubtful for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja (leg) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Hezonja played just six minutes on Wednesday and is now on the injury report with a left leg contusion. Damyean Dotson is expected to jump into the starting five if Hezonja is unable to play. Fantasy owners should check […]

Rodions Kurucs Ruled Out on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kurucs is dealing with a left elbow sprain, but will get a full week off with the All-Star break approaching. Shabazz Napier or Allen Crabbe will likely be asked to jump into the starting five. Fantasy owners should […]

Kevin Love Will Sit on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Love said he wanted to play in the final game before the All-Star break, but the medical staff didn't clear him. Marquese Chriss will be asked to step up in the absence of Love on Wednesday.

Kawhi Leonard is Questionable on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Leonard is dealing with knee soreness and the Raptors have been careful with Leonard all season. It's likely that Leonard sits and Norman Powell gets the start in return. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game time.

Dwyane Wade Could Sit Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed shootaround, so that is not a good sign, but more information will be known closer to game time. Dion Waiters and Rodney McGruder would see increased minutes without Wade available. Waiters is the better fantasy option out of […]

Andrew Wiggins Participates in Shootaround

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) was able to participate in shootaround on Wednesday. However, Wiggins remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Luol Deng would return to the bench if Wiggins is able to get back on the court. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Terry Rozier is Doubtful for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Kyrie Irving (knee) has already been ruled out for this contest, so Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown stand to gain fantasy value. Brown is going to be a solid DFS option with Irving out and Rozier likely sidelined as well.

Kyrie Irving Won't Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Irving will miss the last two games before the All-Star break, but will return for the first game after the break. Terry Rozier (illness) is doubtful, so Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown should see increased playing time and […]

Jerami Grant is Doubtful for Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Billy Donovan hinted that Grant didn't looked too good, so there's a strong possibility of Grant sitting this one out. Patrick Patterson would get the start, but he won't offer much in terms of fantasy production.

Isaiah Thomas Will Play on Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) will make his debut with the Nuggets on Wednesday versus the Sacramento Kings. Thomas has not played in 11 months, so it's likely that the Nuggets take the cautious approach here. DFS players shouldn't bother with Thomas right away. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect much from him on Wednesday.

Mike Conley Will Play on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley (illness) has been removed from the injury report and will play on Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. He missed Tuesday's game due to an illness, but appears back on track to play in this one. Delon Wright will move back to the bench with Conley returning on Wednesday. Fantasy […]

Cedi Osman is Available on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as out on Tuesday, but it appears he's going to play after a four game absence. David Nwaba stands to lose some value with Osman returning on Wednesday.

Andre Iguodala Could Rest on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a back-to-back set for the Warriors, so they may decide to rest Iggy in this one. Alfonzo McKinnie would likely benefit the most if Iggy is unable to play on Wednesday.

Fred VanVleet Out Five Weeks

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (thumb) will undergo surgery for ligament damage in his left thumb and miss at least five weeks. Danny Green, Jeremy Lin, and Norman Powell will be asked to step up in the backup point guard role. Lin is worth a look in some leagues, while Green should be owned in […]

Jeremy Lin is Expected to Play Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Jeremy Lin is expected to make his debut for Toronto on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards. Fred Vanvleet (thumb) is down, so Lin would be able to make an impact right away in Toronto. He'd be looking at 20 minutes or more as the backup to Kyle Lowry. That would make Lin […]

Mike Conley is Questionable on Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The fact Conley is dealing with an illness makes it difficult to know whether or not he'll actually be able to play through it. It's really going to depend on how Conley is feeling at game time. […]

James Harden is Probable for Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Harden is dealing with soreness in his left shoulder, but still managed to play 36 minutes on Monday. Fantasy owners should check back on Wednesday, but it sounds like Harden should be fine.

DeMarre Carroll is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (knee) is feeling better and is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Carroll missed Monday's game, but it appears this is only going to be a one game absence for him. The Nets have plenty of depth with Caris Levert, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and Allen Crabbe all […]

T.J. Warren Out Until After All-Star Break

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is not surprising news that the Suns have decided to hold Warren out until after the All-Star break. Josh Jackson, Kelly Oubre and Mikal Bridges will continue seeing more minutes with Warren sidelined. However, Warren is […]

De'Anthony Melton Ruled Out for Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard De'Anthony Melton (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Melton is dealing with a sprained right ankle and was not expected to play until after the All-Star break anyway. Tyler Johnson and Elie Okobo are going to be competing with Melton for playing time. Most fantasy […]

Tyus Jones is Doubtful on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jones has been sidelined with a high ankle sprain and was not expected to play until after the All-Star break. Derrick Rose and Jeff Teague are healthy, so Jones would have a limited role regardless. He can be […]

Derrick Rose is Probable for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Rose returned on Monday after missing three contests prior to that. He looked fine, so fantasy owners shouldn't have anything to worry about. Rose could see his usage increase with Andrew Wiggins (illness) questionable for Wednesday.

Kris Dunn is Questionable for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (tailbone) was unable to practice on Tuesday and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Dunn was reportedly sore after falling on Monday, so the Bulls may sit him out on Wednesday since it's the last game before the All-Star break. Ryan Arcidiacono would likely jump into the […]
