Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear how Shumpert suffered the injury, but he could take the night off to rest. Yogi Ferrell would likely return to the starting five and Justin Jackson would see extra run as well. Neither player is a […]

Cameron Payne Will Start Against Hornets

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Kris Dunn (knee) is out four-to-six weeks, so it sounds like Payne is going to jump in that role. Payne is expected to split time with Ryan Arcidiacono. Tyler Ulis and Shaquille Harrison could get involved as well. This […]

Jabari Parker is Questionable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He didn't go through shootaround and could sit this one out due to an upper respiratory infection. Bobby Portis would see all the minutes he could handle if Parker does not play. Portis would be an excellent DFS option without […]

Alex Len is Starting Against Mavericks

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (elbow) will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Len was listed as probable with an elbow issue on Tuesday. Clearly it's nothing serious because he's in the starting five for this one. However, Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is back in the rotation, so Len is […]

Hassan Whiteside Will Play on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (groin) is not listed on the injury report and will play in Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Whiteside sat out of Monday's practice, but was never expected to miss any time. There is no official word that Whiteside is playing, but it's safe to assume he'll be good […]

Andrew Wiggins Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) is still questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wiggins felt better after shootaround, but his status still remains uncertain. Wiggins said he was planning to play on Wednesday after exiting early during Monday's contest. This is likely something that is going […]

Delon Wright Will Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) will make his regular season debut on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wright is likely going to be limited in his first game back. It's unclear what kind of role he's going to have once he's fully healthy. Wright could take away playing time from Fred Vanvleet and […]

Dewayne Dedmon Expected to Play 15 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is expected to play around 15 minutes in his season debut on Wednesday. The Hawks are going to ease Dedmon back into things, so Alex Len will remain in the starting five. Len has been inconsistent this season, so Dedmon should begin taking away Len's minutes soon. Dedmon will […]

Harrison Barnes is Hopeful to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) is hopeful that he'll be able to make his season debut against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Barnes has been heading in the right direction lately and should be good to go unless he suffers a setback. Dorian Finney-Smith would head to the bench when Barnes returns. It's unclear […]

Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are doubtful for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Jones missed practice on Monday and was limited on Tuesday. Ellington continues to work his way back from an ankle issue. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Ellington would need to get through a full practice […]

Justise Winslow is Available on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He's been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for roughly a month. He averaged 7.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists last season. He's most likely going to have his minutes limited during his first game back. Winslow […]

James Johnson Practices on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (groin) was able to practice on Tuesday, but has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Johnson has been able to practice two days in a row. However, he's not quite 100 percent yet, so the Heat are going to be cautious and hold him out of […]

Delon Wright is On Track to Play Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright (groin) is on track to play in Wednesday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Wright was able to practice on Tuesday, but it's still unclear if he'll be ready to go by tip-off on Wednesday. Fred Vanvleet is going to lose playing time and value […]

Wayne Ellington Remains Sidelined for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He still has not made his season debut, but did go through shootaround on Saturday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra wants Ellington to get through a full practice before letting him return to game action. It sounds like […]

Justise Winslow is Probable on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Winslow is set to make his season debut after dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. He averaged 7.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists last season. Winslow does not have much fantasy upside right now.

Hassan Whiteside Expected to Play on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (groin) is expected to play against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Whiteside did not practice on Monday, but his injury is apparently minor. The Heat might've just held Whiteside out of Monday's practice to be cautious. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after Wednesday's shootaround […]

Michael Carter-Williams Will Start Wednesday

Houston Rockets point guard Michael Carter-Williams will draw the start at point guard against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Chris Paul (suspended) and James Ennis (hamstring) are both sidelined for that contest. Carter-Williams has not done much of anything with his playing time this season. He's going to see at least 20-25 minutes on Wednesday, […]

Andre Drummond Will Be Available on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (illness) will be available to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. He missed Monday's practice with the flu, but appears to be doing better on Tuesday. He was getting up shots during shootaround, so that's a good sign for his status against the Sixers. Drummond has been fantastic this […]

Andrew Wiggins is Questionable for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He left Monday's game with a right quad contusion and was unable to return. Wiggins told reporters after the game that his injury isn't serious. More information should be known about his status after Wednesday's shootaround.

Rodions Kurucs Won't Play on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kurucs is dealing with a sprained left ankle and could be sidelined for Friday's game as well. Jared Dudley and Ed Davis should see increased playing time on Wednesday. Neither player will have much of an impact in terms of […]

Mike Muscala is Available to Play on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) is available to play against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. He was a full participant during Monday's practice and appears to have recovered from his left ankle issue. He'll bring some depth to the Sixers, but probably won't see enough playing time to make him worth owning in fantasy […]

Jamal Murray Expected to Play Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (leg) is not listed on the injury report and is expected to play on Tuesday versus the Sacramento Kings. Murray was able to play through a left tibia contusion on Sunday. The injury is not expected to be serious, so Murray should be in the starting lineup against the Kings. […]

Kris Dunn Likely Out At Least One Month

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (knee) has been diagnosed with a moderate left MCL sprain. Dunn is expected to miss four-to-six weeks of action. Cameron Payne and Ryan Arcidiacono are expected to see the biggest boost in minutes from Dunn's injury. Neither player is a great fantasy option. Zach LaVine is expected to spend more […]

Dewayne Dedmon Will Make Season Debut Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) will make his season debut against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. There is a good chance that the Hawks put Dedmon on a minutes limit in his first game back. Alex Len is going to be Dedmon's main competition, but regardless Dedmon should see decent playing time. He's worth […]

John Collins Expected to Miss Several Weeks

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) won't suit up for Wednesday's home opener and will reportedly be sidelined multiple weeks. Collins suffered his ankle injury in early October. He underwent an MRI which revealed mild inflammation and soreness in his left ankle. He was re-evaluated on October 22, but then afterwards it was announced he's […]

Brandon Knight Remains Without Timetable

Houston Rockets guard Brandon Knight (knee) says his rehab work is going well, but does not have a timetable for his return. Chris Paul (suspended) is out two games, so the Rockets could use Knight, but sadly he's not ready yet. Knight says he's taking it day-by-day and is unsure when he'll get back on […]

Ben Simmons is Doubtful for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) did not participate in shootaround and is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Simmons has been battling some back tightness, but the injury is not believed to be serious. T.J. McConnell and Markelle Fultz should both benefit if Simmons does sit out on Tuesday. McConnell would be […]

Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma Will Start In The Short Term

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball and forward Kyle Kuzma will be the starters going forward. Both Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo have been suspended following an altercation during Saturday's contest. Ingram has been suspended four games, while Rondo will be suspended three games. It's only a short amount of games, but it will […]

Hassan Whiteside Doesn't Practice on Monday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (groin) did not practice on Monday and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks. Whiteside was able to play 25 minutes on Saturday. The severity of the injury is still unclear which makes Whiteside's status up in the air for Wednesday. Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo would both […]

Domantas Sabonis Will Play on Monday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will play in Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sabonis was forced to sit out during Saturday's contest against the Nets. This appears to be just a one game absence for Sabonis which is great news for fantasy owners. He averaged 13.0 points and 14.0 rebounds through the first […]
