Jimmy Butler Wants Reduced Playing Time

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler is going to speak with head coach Tom Thibodeau about having reduced minutes going forward. Butler believes he's logging in too many minutes and it should be spread around more evenly. He's currently playing over 40 minutes per game, but a reduced role would obviously hurt some of his fantasy […]

Devin Harris is Favorable to Play Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (hamstring) is favorable to play in Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Harris hasn't played since the regular season opener. He practice on Friday and appears ready for game action. J.J. Barea and Jalen Brunson will lose some playing time once Harris returns […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Rest on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) will sit out of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so that is why Bogdanovic is sitting out. He's expected to return versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. It sounds like the Kings just don't want to overwork their players […]

Russell Westbrook Listed as Out on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Westbrook rolled his ankle on Monday and was walking with a limp at Thursday's contest. The Thunder may decide to play it safe and let Westbrook get to 100 percent before letting him back on the […]

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable for Wednesday's game as well, but sat out. Payton has been out since October 27, but is reportedly heading in the right direction. Ian Clark and Tim Frazier will continue to see increased playing […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Osman was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game and was unable to return. The Cavs are already without George Hill (shoulder), Kevin Love (foot), and Sam Dekker (knee). The Cavs are expected to use a committee approach […]

Lonzo Ball Tweaks Ankle on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) left early during Friday's practice after tweaking his ankle. Head coach Luke Walton said he is hopeful that Ball can play in Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers may decide to take the cautious approach with their young guard. Josh Hart, Rajon Rondo, and Kentavious […]

Quinn Cook Will Start on Saturday

Golden State Warriors point guard Quinn Cook will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Stephen Curry (groin) has been ruled out for this game, but his MRI results were encouraging. The Warriors are likely going to be cautious with Curry, so Cook could see a handful of starts. Shaun Livingston […]

Draymond Green Won't Play on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Green is reportedly targeting a return for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It will be Jordan Bell, Kevon Looney, Alfonzo McKinnie, and Damian Jones seeing extended playing time with Green sidelined. All four players have […]

Nikola Mirotic is Questionable for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Pelicans are not too worried about Mirotic, but he did have an ankle brace on during Friday's practice. Solomon Hill and Darius Miller would see increased playing time if Mirotic is forced to the sidelines. Neither player is […]

Andrew Harrison Will Make Cavs Debut on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Andrew Harrison practiced with the team on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Cavs are looking for depth with George Hill (shoulder) out at least two weeks. Collin Sexton will start at point guard and see pretty much all the minutes he can handle. […]

C.J. Miles Practiced on Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (hip) practiced on Friday and is expected to play against the Knicks on Saturday. Miles did not play on Wednesday due to his hip issue. The fact he was able to practice on Friday is a good sign. He should be ready to go, but doesn't offer much to fantasy […]

Devin Harris Uncertain for Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (hamstring) practiced with the team on Friday, but it's uncertain if he'll actually suit up for the game against OKC. Harris has been sidelined since the regular season opener, but has been getting closer to a return. Regardless, Harris isn't going to be a big part of the Mavs rotation. […]

Jimmy Butler Scheduled to Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (soreness) is scheduled to play in Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It sounds like the Wolves will continue to rest Butler in back-to-back sets. It's safe to assume that Butler will suit up for Friday's contest. However, Butler is growing increasingly frustrated with the Wolves lack of success. Fantasy […]

Robert Woods is A WR2 Against Seahawks

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods is heading into a matchup against the Seahawks where he dropped five receptions for 92 yards on in Week 5. The Seahawks don't seem to be able to stop the passing attack lately. The Rams receivers should all be in for a good games this week. Woods should […]

Cooper Kupp is Great Option Against Seattle

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp returned last week after a two week absence and didn't miss a beat. Kupp caught five receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown against the Saints. He's heading into a matchup with the Seahawks who have been torched by wide receivers since Week 5. Kupp should easily be […]

Brandin Cooks is Borderline WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks had a solid bounce back game against the Saints in Week 9. Cooks caught six receptions for 114 yards and one touchdown. Cooks has seen eight targets the last two games. He's clearly a focal point of the Rams passing attack. He's heading into a game against the […]

Lance Thomas is Out At Least Four Weeks

New York Knicks forward Lance Thomas (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Thomas started the first five games for the Knicks. He averaged just 4.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in 11.1 minutes over his last 11 games. The Knicks appear committed to the rebuild, so Thomas […]

Derrick Jones Ruled Out on Friday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He left Wednesday's game after landing awkwardly when coming down for a rebound. He went straight to the locker room and did not return to Wednesday's contest. It's unclear how significant this knee issue is at the moment. […]

Dwyane Wade is Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Wade is celebrating the birth of his daughter. It's unclear at the moment whether or not he'll be back in time for Saturday's contest. Goran Dragic (knee) will be sidelined for this game as well. Tyler Johnson and […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Play on Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't play in Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Irving is attending his grandfather's memorial. Irving is expected to be back in time for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Terry Rozier will most likely slide into the starting lineup for this one. Rozier played fantastic in […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out Against Pacers

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Dragic did not play in Wednesday's game after being listed as questionable for that one. Dragic had an MRI earlier in the week and the results came back clean. It sounds like Dragic is just day-to-day, so […]

O.J. Howard is Elite Option in Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has five touchdowns on the season and has scored three of them in the last two weeks. Howard has quickly turned himself into one of the most productive fantasy tight ends. He's heading into a matchup against the Redskins who rank average in terms of passing defense. Howard […]

Peyton Barber is Shaky RB2 Against Redskins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) has been limited in practice this week, but is fully expected to play in Sunday's game against the Redskins. However, Barber has not done much of anything this season. He has 422 yards from scrimmage and is almost impossible to trust in fantasy leagues. The Bucs main […]

Kevin Huerter Expected to Play on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (personal) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He did not play in Wednesday's contest against the Knicks, but is not listed on the injury report anymore. He's averaging 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists this season. He's buried on the depth chart, so he […]

Shaun Livingston Could Return Soon

Golden State Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston (foot) could return in the near future. Livingston has been sidelined since October 26, but head coach Steve Kerr said he was improving. Usually Livingston is fairly useless in terms of fantasy production. However, Stephen Curry (groin) could be looking at missing some time. That means the fantasy […]

Timetable for Stephen Curry is Unclear

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (groin) said that he was unsure how much time he was going to miss. Curry suffered a groin injury during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry is set for an MRI on Friday, so more information should be known later. Quinn Cook could see his fantasy value […]

Shaun Livingston Will Sit Out on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (foot) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He did not practice on Wednesday and there is no timetable for his return. Livingston has basically no fantasy value as the backup to Stephen Curry. Quinn Cook will continue to see the backup guard minutes until […]

John Henson is Questionable on Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Henson is dealing with left wrist soreness, but it's unclear how he suffered the injury. The Bucks don't believe it's too serious, so it might be just a one game absence. Brook Lopez and Thon Maker would […]

Eric Gordon Remains Questionable on Thursday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (groin) remains questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was able to practice on Wednesday, which is a good sign. It sounds like the Rockets are going to wait until right before tip-off to decide Gordon's status. Carmelo Anthony and Gerald Green would lose value if […]
