Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler and Joel Embiid in the starting five. This is likely going to be the starting lineup that the Sixers continue to roll with for the foreseeable future. Butler is a safe […]

Derrick Jones is Questionable on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) didn't participate in shootaround and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been inconsistent all season, meaning DFS players should stay away regardless of his status. Justise Winslow should see a few extra minutes if Jones sits out. More information should be known closer to […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Joins Starting Five on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay will join the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Frank Nitlikina will head to the bench after logging in just six minutes last game. Head coach David Fizdale is shaking up his lineup, but that doesn't mean this is a long term move. Nitlikina should […]

Kevin Knox Will Start on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Damyean Dotson will head to the bench and that will likely be the case for the foreseeable future. Knox has scored 17 points over his last two games, so the Knicks will ride his hot […]

Dario Saric, Robert Covington Will Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington will make their debuts with the Wolves on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't say whether they would start or not. Taj Gibson could continue drawing starts until Saric is up to speed, but regardless Saric should see plenty of minutes. DFS […]

Russell Westbrook Participates in Shootaround

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) participated in shootaround, but is listed as out for the Wednesday's contest. Teammate Paul George implied that Westbrook could take the court in this one. It sounds like Westbrook will be evaluated closer to tip-off, but he has a chance to play on Wednesday. Fantasy owners should […]

P.J. Tucker is Questionable on Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (illness) participated in shootaround but remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He played fairly well with a stomach virus on Sunday. It sounds like Tucker is able to play through the issue, but nothing is certain yet. Gary Clark would likely draw the start if Tucker is […]

Russell Westbrook Participates in Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) participated in Tuesday's practice. It was a fairly light practice where he was able to do some running and cutting. However, it's still unclear if he'll be ready for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. The Thunder should have a better idea about Westbrook's status after […]

Jonathan Isaac is Questionable for Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to make solid progress from his right ankle injury. The Magic will have a better idea about his status following Wednesday's shootaround. Assuming Isaac plays, Wesley Iwundu would return to the bench. Terrence Ross would see his value […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Plans to Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic said that he plans to play in back-to-back games this weekend. He's been on a minutes limit, but has saw his playing time increase from 20 to 25 minutes on Monday. He wants to play in both games this weekend, but that doesn't mean the Kings are going to let […]

76ers Are Showing Interest in Carmelo Anthony

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony has likely played his last game as a member of the Rockets. He is listed as out for Tuesday's game and multiple reporters have said his time in Houston will come to an end soon. The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly "kicking the tires" on the idea of bringing in Anthony, […]

Gerald Green Ruled Out on Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Green suffered a right ankle sprain on Saturday and was unable to play in Sunday's contests versus the Pacers. James Ennis and Eric Gordon should see additional playing time with Green sidelined.

J.R. Smith Will Play on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's practice due to an illness, but has been removed from the injury report. Cedi Osman (back) and Kyle Korver (foot) will be sidelined for this game. Smith should see some extra playing […]

Caris LeVert Expected to Return This Season

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (foot) suffered a horrifying foot/ankle injury during Monday's game. It was assumed by everyone that LeVert had suffered a season-ending injury after his foot/ankle was pointing the wrong way. However, LeVert has been diagnosed with a dislocated right foot that will not require surgery. This is still a major injury, […]

Courtney Lee is Progressing Well

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) is progressing well after missing all of the preseason and hasn't played in the regular season yet. He begin running on the court this week, but is still without a timetable. However, Lee is only going to see limited minutes off the bench even when he's healthy. The […]

Kyle Korver is Out on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was not able to practice on Monday as Korver continues to deal with right foot soreness. Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood will likely be forced into heavy minutes and could make interesting DFS options.

Luke Kennard Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (shoulder) will miss at least two more weeks. The team's medical staff announced they were pleased with how his shoulder is responding, but he's not quite ready yet. Glenn Robinson III, Stanley Johnson, Reggie Bullock, and Langston Galloway will continue seeing increased roles in Kennard's absence.

J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver Miss Monday's Practice

Cleveland Cavaliers guards J.R. Smith (illness) and Kyle Korver (foot) did not participate in Monday's practice. Both players are being considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Neither player is a reliable fantasy option, but should continue to see chances with the Cavs tanking. Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson and possibly David Nwaba should […]

Cedi Osman Ruled Out for Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He did return to practice on Monday, so possibly the Cavs are just being cautious. Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood should see all the minutes they can handle with the Cavs roster banged up at the moment.

Shaun Livingston Will Play on Monday

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (foot) will play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed seven straight games, but is finally back in the rotation. Stephen Curry (groin) is out at least the next two games. Quinn Cook is likely going to remain the starter with Curry sidelined. Livingston should see […]

Landry Shamet Moves Back to The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers guard Landry Shamet will move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He started on Saturday and played 43 minutes, but went 2-of-13 from the floor. It doesn't sound like newly acquired Jimmy Butler will be in Philly until Wednesday. Shamet would still be heavily involved off the bench […]

Mike Muscala is Available on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (nose) is available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He broke his nose on November 7, but appears ready to return. However, Wilson Chandler is going to draw the start at power forward instead of Muscala. Although, the Sixers are going to ease Chandler back into things after he […]

Wilson Chandler Will Start on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler will draw the start at power forward against the Miami Heat on Monday. That means Mike Muscala (nose) will come off the bench for this one. The Sixers are easing Chandler back into things after he missed several weeks with a hamstring issue. Chandler is expected to play around 20 […]

Elfrid Payton is Doubtful on Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's listed as questionable on the injury report, but head coach Alvin Gentry made it sound more doubtful than anything. Wesley Johnson has been benefiting the most with Payton sidelined. It's difficult to imagine Johnson being relevant […]

Jonathan Isaac Won't Play on Monday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will not play in Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's getting closer to a return and did participate in the last shootaround. Terrence Ross has been on fire with Isaac out of the lineup. He's worth starting in fantasy lineups until Isaac returns to the rotation.

Aaron Gordon is Questionable for Monday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sat out on Sunday versus the Knicks and is being considered day-to-day. Jarell Martin would draw another start if Gordon is forced to the sideline. Terrence Ross would likely benefit the most out of everyone if Gordon is unable […]

Nikola Mirotic Remains Questionable on Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Alvin Gentry called him probable, so that's a good sign. Mirotic said he was experiencing some soreness and that he'll test his ankle during warmups. Julius Randle would get another start if Mirotic is forced to the […]

Jeff Teague Could Return on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) was a full participant in Monday's shootaround. He was listed as out on Sunday, but after going through shootaround there is a good chance Teague suits up. Derrick Rose would likely lose significant minutes and value if Teague returns. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for […]

Andrew Wiggins is Likely Playing on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) was a full participant at Monday's shootaround. He was previously listed as questionable, but after going through shootaround it sounds like he is probable. Newly acquired Dario Saric and Robert Covington are likely sitting this one out. Wiggins is going to be heavily involved if he's able to suit […]

Wesley Matthews is Ruled Out on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as doubtful, but will officially sit this one out. Head coach Rick Carlisle is hopeful that Matthews will be able to return for Wednesday's contest. J.J. Barea, Devin Harris, and Dorian Finney-Smith will see increased […]
