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.

Corey Brewer and Landry Shamet and will see increased playing time without Butler in the rotation. […]

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. Joe Harris and Shabazz Napier will see increased playing time in the absence of Dinwiddie. Both players should be fairly solid fantasy options on the banged […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is Questionable on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He left Wednesday's game early with a left shoulder strain. 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 […]

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat.

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.

Rajon Rondo is Uncertain for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (finger) is headed towards a game time decision for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He went through practice on Wednesday and is expected to play in Thursday's contest. Rondo should be looking at minutes nearly the 30s with Lonzo Ball (ankle) sidelined. 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.

Mudiay suffered a left shoulder injury on Wednesday and was unable to practice on Thursday. Fantasy owners will need to check back on Friday after shootaround for an update on Mudiay.

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.

Darius Miller and Solomon Hill will […]

E'Twaun Moore Won't Play on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (rest) will not play in Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play in Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ayton wasn't able to participate in shootaround and continues to be bothered by an ankle issue. The Suns play again on Friday, so Ayton should be considered questionable for that one. Dragan Bender is in line to play […]

Damian Lillard Will Play on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (hand) says he will play in Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Blazers are facing the worst team in the West, but Lillard doesn't want to sit out. His hand might be bothering him a little, but Lillard should be fine to plug into fantasy lineups on Thursday.

Davis Bertans Won't Play on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Davis Bertans (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's unclear how long Bertans will be out due to these personal reasons.

Marc Gasol is Questionable for Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gasol played well on Monday, but appears he's still dealing with back soreness. The Grizzlies may decide to give him a break and rest him for this contest. JaMychal Green would likely jump into the starting five and […]

Ish Smith is Doubtful for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Smith is fighting a right adductor issue and it appears he's going to be sidelined for his third straight game. Jose Calderon should see more minutes coming his way, but he's not a fantasy option.

Aaron Gordon Plans to Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was able to practice on Tuesday and said he'd play on Wednesday. Jonathon Simmons would return to the bench if Gordon returns for this contest. Fantasy owners need to check back for more information closer to tip-off.

Garrett Temple is Probable for Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Garrett Temple (heel) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Temple is dealing with a sore right heel, but should be fine by game time. He's expected to play around 30 minutes and is someone worth adding in deep leagues. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Irving is dealing with flu-like symptoms, so the Celtics have decided to rest him for this one. Terry Rozier will get the start and will be a popular DFS option for Wednesday.
