Derrick Favors Will Start on Saturday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors will rejoin the starting lineup against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Jae Crowder will head to the bench and play with the second unit. Favors will see a few extra minutes as a starter, but his usage will take a decent hit because he's playing alongside the starters. Crowder shouldn't […]

Al Horford Won't Play on Saturday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is not surprising news after head coach Brad Stevens said he expects Horford to miss a few games. This will be Horford's fifth game on the sideline. That means more playing time for Aron Baynes, Daniel Theis, and Robert […]

Reggie Bullock Will Play on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's missed the last five games due to a left ankle sprain, but appears ready to rejoin the rotation. Stanley Johnson, Luke Kennard, and Langston Galloway will see their minutes reduced with Bullock back in the rotation.

Taj Gibson Won't Play on Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taj Gibson (personal) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Dario Saric is expected to make his first start as a member of the Timberwolves. Anthony Tolliver should see increased playing time off the bench as well. Saric has been fairly solid since joining Minnesota and is someone […]

Josh Jackson Will Play on Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (toe) will play in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was listed as questionable with a left great toe sprain, but played through it fine on Thursday. There is a good chance that Jackson jumps into the starting lineup with Trevor Ariza being traded. However, Jackson is inconsistent and […]

Devin Booker Has Good Chance of Playing Saturday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has a "very good chance" of playing in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Igor Kokoskov. Booker has missed the last six games, but reportedly looked good during shootaround on Saturday. De'Anthony Melton will move to the bench if Booker returns. Both Jamal Crawford […]

JaVale McGee is Questionable on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. McGee was unable to participate in shootaround, so it doesn't sound like something he can play through. Tyson Chandler is expected to draw the start at center, assuming McGee sits out. Chandler would be an interesting DFS option with […]

Kyle Anderson is Questionable on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Anderson injured his ankle during Friday's contest and was only able to play 16 minutes. Dillon Brooks and Wayne Seldon would see increased playing time if Anderson is unable to play on Saturday.

Zach LaVine Will Miss Next Two Games

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) will return to Chicago and miss the next two games after suffering a left ankle injury. LaVine hurt his ankle on Thursday, but downplayed the severity of the injury. It's unclear how serious this injury is, but he's returning to Chicago to have it examined. The Bulls will likely […]

Kelvin Benjamin Hauls in One Reception

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was basically non-existent in the 29-28 loss to the Chargers. Benjamin caught one of his two targets for 17 yards on Thursday. The Chiefs brought in Benjamin as depth after cutting Kareem Hunt and Sammy Watkins (foot) has been unable to play lately. It doesn't appear that Benjamin […]

Chris Conley is Quiet in Defeat

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has not been able to take advantage of his opportunity over the last two games. Conley was shut down by the Chargers on Thursday and has lost pretty much all his fantasy value. Conley caught two passes for 19 yards in the 29-28 loss to the Chargers. Conley […]

Tyreek Hill is Held in Check

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was held in check for his lowest amount of yards this season by the Chargers in Week 15. Hill caught four of his seven targets for 46 yards and was unable to find the end zone during the 29-28 loss. Hill could've had a 43-yard touchdown, but dropped […]

Travis Kelce Plays Well in Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce ended his touchdown streak at three games after failing to find the end zone in the loss to the Chargers on Thursday. Kelce caught seven of his nine targets for 61 yards in the 29-28 loss. It was not a bad day for Kelce, but he finished with […]

Damien Williams Scores Two Touchdowns on Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was the lead back for Thursday's game versus the Chargers because Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) was unable to play. Williams rushed 10 times for 49 yards and two touchdowns with six receptions for 74 yards through the air. Williams has scored three touchdowns in the last two games, […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Two TDs in Defeat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes pushed his multiple touchdown streak to nine games during Thursday's loss to the Chargers. Mahomes finished 24-for-34 with 243 passing yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. It was a fairly solid game for Mahomes, but he's clearly missing the production from Sammy Watkins and Kareem Hunt. The Chiefs […]

Gordon Hayward Expected to Be Available on Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) is not on the injury report and is expected to play in Friday's game. He's missed the last two games due to an illness, but it appears he's healthy enough to play. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time just to make sure.

Reggie Bullock Expected to Play on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock has missed five straight games due to a left ankle sprain. Stanley Johnson, Luke Kennard, and Langston Galloway will lose some playing time with Bullock likely returning.

Brandon Ingram Ruled Out for Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He injured his ankle on Wednesday and hasn't played since then. Kyle Kuzma has been on fire lately, so expect him to see increased playing time. Kuzma is a solid bet for fantasy formats while Ingram is […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is Expected to Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks, according to head coach James Borrego. MKG missed Wednesday's game, but it looks like he'll only miss one game. He's averaging just 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists this season. MKG is only worth a […]

Hassan Whiteside Will Return on Friday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) returned to the team and practiced on Thursday. He will play in Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after missing the last four games due to the birth of his child. He's expected to play his normal minutes and Bam Adebayo will move to the second unit. It's safe […]

Jeremy Lin is Available on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) is available for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's missed the last two games due to a back issue, but it appears that Lin is healthy enough to return to the court. Tyler Dorsey should see less playing time with Lin returning, but neither are reliable fantasy options.

Jabari Parker is Dropped From The Rotation

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker has been dropped from the Bulls rotation, according to Malika Andrews. Parker played just four minutes on Thursday and obviously wasn't able to do much with such limited playing time. Parker doesn't expect to be out of the rotation forever, but it's unclear when he'll return. The Bulls are finally […]

Damyean Dotson Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks guard Damyean Dotson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was listed as questionable on the injury report, but apparently he's been ruled out. The Knicks are banged up and will be shorthanded for this contest. Courtney Lee and Frank Ntilikina should see plenty of minutes […]

Dwyane Wade is Questionable on Friday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear how significant this illness is at the moment, so fantasy owners will likely have to wait until closer to game time. Wayne Ellington, Rodney McGruder, and Tyler Johnson (hip) would see extra minutes with Wade sidelined.

Justise Winslow is Expected to Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Winslow played on Wednesday, but finished with just nine points. However, Winslow was on fire before that contest, so hopefully he can stay hot. He'll be someone worth looking at as a cheap option in DFS contests.

Tyler Johnson is Probable on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Johnson drew the start for Goran Dragic (knee) on Wednesday, but scored just three points. Dragic won't play on Friday, so Johnson is in line for another start. However, Johnson has not been consistent, so he should be […]

Kawhi Leonard is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Leonard participated in Friday's shootaround, but remains questionable with a bruised right hip. He's missed two straight games and looks like he could sit out a third contest. Fred Vanvleet has started when Leonard is sidelined and played fairly […]

Maximilian Kleber is Questionable for Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He played 17 minutes on Wednesday, so it doesn't sound like the injury is too serious. However, the Mavs want to be cautious because of the fact it's a back-to-back set. Dirk Nowitzki is expected to play on Thursday, so […]

Trevor Ariza is Expected to Start on Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Trevor Ariza (personal) is expected to start in Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ariza sat out of Tuesday's game, but head coach Igor Kokoskov said it was a precautionary move. It sounds like Ariza will be fine for Thursday's contest.

Jonas Valanciunas Expected to Miss Weeks

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) has been diagnosed with a dislocated thumb and is expected to miss multiple weeks. There is no timetable for Valanciunas at the moment, but that should be available soon. Serge Ibaka and Greg Monroe will be asked to do more without Valanciunas available. Chris Boucher has been called up, […]
