Will Barton Could Sit Out on Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (personal) was excused from shootaround and is questionable for Thursday's game. It's unclear why Barton left shootaround, but there's a chance he's not ready by game time. That would likely mean more minutes for Torrey Craig. Fantasy owners should check back later in the day for an update.

Jamal Crawford is Questionable for Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. De'Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo would play more if Crawford is forced to the sideline. Devin Booker is back in action, so Crawford is losing playing time anyway. The Suns are likely going to elect using younger players […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Upgraded to Doubtful on Thursday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) has been upgraded from out to doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Carter was reportedly able to get through shootaround without any pain. Bobby Portis would likely jump into the starting five if Carter is unable to play. Robin Lopez and Jabari Parker would see increased […]

OG Anunoby Won't Play on Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) won't play in Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the second game in a row that Anunoby has missed due to personal reasons. Kawhi Leonard (rest) is out of the lineup as well, so Norman Powell is going to see significant minutes on Thursday. Powell is going […]

Kyle Lowry Will Rest on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's the second day of a back-to-back set and Toronto is facing the 11 win Suns, so they can afford to rest their veterans. Fred Vanvleet will draw the start and Delon Wright will see increased playing time […]

Kawhi Leonard Won't Play on Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play in Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's a back-to-back contest, so it's not surprising to see Leonard sitting this one out. Leonard has played 81 minutes over the last two games, so he's earned a day off. Norman Powell could be looking at heavy minutes […]

Mitchell Robinson is Available on Thursday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (groin) will be available for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Robinson was able to fully practice on Wednesday and looked fine at shootaround. Head coach David Fizdale is going to ease Robinson back into things after he missed a month of action. Luke Kornet is going to see […]

Gary Harris is Questionable for Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game. Head coach Mike Malone said he's going to be cautious with Harris, so it'd be surprising to see him out there on Thursday. "I thought he’d be back after a few games, but obviously it’s not where he or our medical staff […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tyson Chandler Should Start Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and center Tyson Chandler are expected to rejoin the starting five once again for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. KCP and Chandler replaced Josh Hart and JaVale McGee on Tuesday and the Lakers won that contest. Head coach Luke Walton is going to stick with what is […]

Wilson Chandler is Questionable on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Chandler missed a few games earlier in the month due to an upper respiratory infection. Joel Embiid (back) is also questionable for this contest, so Amir Johnson and Mike Muscala could be looking at heavy minutes. Fantasy owners should check […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's unclear how Embiid suffered this injury, but it appears minor, so fantasy owners shouldn't have to worry. Mike Muscala would draw the start and play heavy minutes without Embiid. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game […]

Damian Lillard is Questionable for Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lillard is dealing with a right hand strain and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Blazers play it safe here. Nik Stauskas, Seth Curry, and Wade Baldwin would see more minutes if Lillard is forced to sit out. […]

Rudy Gay, Marco Belinelli Will Play on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (hand) and guard/forward Marco Belinelli (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both players reportedly looked fine at shootaround and will suit up for this contest. Dante Cunningham, Quincy Pondexter and Davis Bertans will all lose minutes from these two returning. Gay is not expected to […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. is Questionable on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's been dealing with a sore left hamstring, but had four days to rest up. Damyean Dotson would draw another start if Hardaway is unable to play. Kevin Knox and Emmanuel Mudiay would be asked to […]

George Hill is Probable for Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (ribs) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hill has seen a regular role off the bench with Milwaukee, but not enough to warrant owning in standard leagues. He's seeing minutes in the mid-20s, but is only worth considering in deep leagues.

LeBron James Will Miss Next Two Games

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will miss at least two more games, according to ESPN. He will not travel with the team for their road trip and will miss 13 straight games for the first time in his career. There's a chance he returns after these two games, but that depends on the […]

Eric Gordon Could Play on Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) could play in Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He is listed as questionable for this contest, but there should be a better idea after shootaround. He's missed the last eight games, but appears very close to a return. Austin Rivers and Gerald Green will lose minutes and usage […]

Fred VanVleet Will Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hip/thigh) will play in Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed one game, but apparently it's a minor issue and he'll be good to go for this game. VanVleet has seen his workload decrease with Kyle Lowry back healthy. Delon Wright will see less minutes with both guards healthy […]

Maurice Harkless is Questionable on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harkless has missed the last four games for the Blazers due to a left knee issue. Jake Layman has been drawing starts and Evan Turner has seen increased playing time with Harkless sidelined.

Aron Baynes Should Be Available on Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (hand) should be back in action versus the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. It's unclear whether or not Baynes would have a minutes limit on Wednesday. Daniel Theis and Robert Williams are going to lose playing time with Baynes returning. None of these players are reliable fantasy option in most formats.

Marcus Smart is Probable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Monday's game due to an illness, but is set to return on Wednesday. Jaylen Brown would head back to the bench and see his minutes reduced.

Rudy Gay is Expected to Play on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's missed the last five games, but is listed as probable for this contest. Davis Bertans would lose playing time with Gay returning. Either Pau Gasol or Derrick White would head to the bench. Fantasy owners should […]

Marco Belinelli Gets Up Shots At Shootaround

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Marco Belinelli (knee) was able to get up some shots during Wednesday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Quincy Pondexter and Dante Cunningham would lose playing time if Belinelli is able to return.

Kyrie Irving Will Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quad) will play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Irving was unable to suit up for Monday's contest due to a quad issue. However, it appears to be a minor issue and he'll be fine for Wednesday. Terry Rozier will head back to the bench with Irving returning.

Mohamed Bamba is Questionable for Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Steve Clifford said on Tuesday that he didn't expect Bamba to be ready for Wednesday. Khem Birch has seen increased playing time with Bamba sidelined. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off since this is […]

Rudy Gay is Probable for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's missed the last five games due to a sprained left wrist, but sounds like he'll be ready for Wednesday. Most likely either Derrick White or Pau Gasol heads to the bench once Gay returns. Davis Bertans […]

Marco Belinelli is Questionable for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Marco Belinelli (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed Monday's game due to a left knee issue, but it might be just a one game absence for him. Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter would split up the minutes if Belinelli is unable to play. However, neither […]

Fred VanVleet Could Sit Out on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hip/thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed Sunday's game, but he's seen his playing time decrease with Kyle Lowry back healthy. Delon Wright would serve as the main backup point guard if VanVleet is unable to play.

Mohamed Bamba Likely Out on Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) is likely going to sit out of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons, according to head coach Steve Clifford. Bamba is dealing with a sore left foot and said he expects to play. It sounds like the Magic want to rest him one more game. Khem Birch will see […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Spurs

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's missed the last three games due to back soreness, but now is reportedly dealing with an illness. The trade rumors are heating up, so this could be the Mavs just resting him until they find a trade […]
