Kyle Lowry Misses Monday's Practice

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) sat out during Monday's practice. He exited Saturday's game due to a right ankle issue. It sounds like the Raptors are just being cautious, so Lowry isn't in danger of missing much time. Lowry should be considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Fantasy owners should check […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. It sounds like the issue isn't serious, but the Pacers want to be cautious and give Oladipo some rest. There is a good chance that Tyreke Evans jumps into the starting five with Oladipo sidelined. Darren Collison, Cory […]

Avery Bradley Should Return on Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is expected to return for Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Head coach Doc Rivers said he was hopeful that Bradley can return after a six-game absence. He will likely be dealing with a minutes limit and doesn't hold much fantasy value right now. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken […]

Taurean Prince is Probable on Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (Achilles) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He reportedly looked good at shootaround and has been upgraded to probable for Monday's matchup. Kevin Huerter should return to the bench and Deandre Bembry will lose playing time with Prince back in the rotation. Fantasy owners […]

Elfrid Payton Expected to Miss Six Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (hand) will undergo surgery to repair his fractured left pinky and is expected to miss six weeks. Payton is scheduled to have the surgery on Tuesday, so he should be back in January. There is not enough value here to warrant stashing Payton in fantasy leagues. Wesley Johnson should […]

Wesley Matthews is Doubtful on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies will have Matthews go through his pregame routine before making a decision. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners should prepare to be without Matthews. Dorian Finney-Smith would continue to start without Matthews […]

J.J. Barea Won't Play Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This sounds like an issue that is going to sideline Barea for multiple games. Jalen Brunson and Devin Harris should see a few extra minutes with Barea sidelined. Dennis Smith Jr. might be able to get around 30 […]

Dwight Powell Ruled Out on Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played through his knee issue on Saturday, but clearly he suffered some kind of setback. Maxi Kleber should benefit the most from the absence of Powell, but that doesn't mean much in terms of fantasy basketball.

Trevor Ariza Will Start on Monday

Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza (personal) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed two games due to a personal issue, so there won't be any limits on him. Mikal Bridges who was starting for Ariza will head back to the bench. He should see his minutes reduced […]

Goran Dragic Will Miss Next Three Games

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) will sit out the next three games after having his right knee drained. It wasn't a serious injury, but the Heat and Dragic knew that this was something that needed to happen. Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington will see more playing time with Dragic sidelined. Josh Richardson should see […]

Donte DiVincenzo is Out Next Three Games

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (quad) has been ruled out for at least the next three games. DiVincenzo suffered a minor left quadriceps strain during Wednesday's contest. He's been solid off the bench for the Bucks this season. He's averaging 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.1 minutes per game this season. Pat […]

Russell Westbrook Practiced on Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) practiced on Friday, but there is no clear indication whether or not he'll play on Saturday. He's missed the last five games, but did participate in shootaround on Wednesday. It sounds like Westbrook is making progress, but who knows if he'll be ready for game action by […]

Luka Doncic is Expected to Play on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (shoulder) went through full practice on Friday, but is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Doncic had an X-ray on Wednesday and the results came back clean, so he's expected to play on Saturday. Fantasy owners should check back for an update on Saturday.

Wesley Matthews Listed as Out for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He returned on Wednesday, but aggravated his hamstring. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Matthews miss a few games. Dorian Finney-Smith should start in his place, but he doesn't […]

Dwight Powell is Questionable for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Powell was dealing with a knee issue during the preseason, but hasn't missed a regular season game yet. Maxi Kleber would likely gain Powell's minutes if he's forced to sit out. Fantasy owners should check back later […]

Torrey Craig is Questionable on Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Torrey Craig (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He left Thursday's game due to hamstring tightness and was unable to return. He doesn't have much fantasy value since he's only averaging 8.5 minutes per game. The other forwards should gain a few minutes if Craig […]

Trevor Ariza Ruled Out for Saturday

Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The details about his absence are unclear, but he hasn't been with the team since Wednesday's contest. Mikal Bridges and Josh Jackson should split up the minutes like they did on Wednesday. Bridges will likely draw the […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Remains Questionable on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He briefly exited the game on Wednesday, but it appears to be nothing serious. DeMarre Carroll and Kenneth Faried would see extended playing time if RHJ sits out. Fantasy owners should check back later for more information.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Won't Play on Saturday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be his second straight game on the sidelines after not being able to practice on Thursday or Friday. Miles Bridges will be the backup power forward, while Cody Zeller and Willy Hernangomez will see some extra […]

Avery Bradley Could Be Back Soon

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) looked "really good" in practice and "will probably be back in the next couple of games," according to head coach Doc Rivers. Bradley has been sidelined the last five games, but has been struggling all season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken over the starting role, so Bradley could be […]

Serge Ibaka Will Play Against Celtics

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Ibaka was forced to sit out of Wednesday's game, but is not listed on the injury report anymore. He's been exceeding expectations this season, averaging 17.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 26.6 minutes. Fantasy owners should be safe […]

Danny Green Will Play on Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Danny Green (back) will play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Green left Wednesday's game due to back stiffness and did not return to that contest. Both Norman Powell (shoulder) and C.J. Miles (groin) are sidelined for this contest. Green should see plenty of extra playing time, assuming he's healthy enough […]

C.J. Miles Ruled Out Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. This was expected after it was announced on Thursday that Miles was likely going to miss four games. Danny Green (back) and OG Anunoby will see increased playing time with Miles sidelined.

Elfrid Payton Remains Questionable on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) said he felt good at shootaround, but remains questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. On Thursday, head coach Alvin Gentry said Payton was "really close" to returning. Wesley Johnson would move back to the bench, assuming Payton returns on Friday. Johnson would go back to […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Play on Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Robinson tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's contest, but was able to return to the game. He's been a great source of blocks this season, but isn't doing much besides that. However, he'll remain in the starting lineup for […]

John Henson Will Miss 12 Weeks

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (wrist) is expected to miss a minimum of 12 weeks following surgery on a torn left wrist ligament. Henson reportedly injured his wrist on Nov. 6, but played the next three games. He said that he was dealing with additional discomfort following Wednesday's game and now is scheduled to have […]

Derrick Jones is Upgraded to Probable on Friday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jones was unable to play in Wednesday's game, but is heading in the right direction. However, he's not someone worth adding in anything fantasy leagues. His return could mean a few less minutes for Justise Winslow.

Allonzo Trier Will Start on Friday

New York Knicks forward Allonzo Trier will jump into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Noah Vonleh will head to the bench after averaging 7.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 blocks over the last 10 games. Vonleh should see his value and minutes drop with the move to […]

Sammy Watkins Has WR2 Upside

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) practiced on Thursday and is expected to play against the Rams in Week 11. He was forced to miss last week with a foot issue, but the fact that Watkins was able to practice is a good sign. Watkins is heading into a matchup against the Rams […]

Travis Kelce Expected to Rebound in Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught six of his seven targets for 46 yards against the Cardinals last week. He wasn't able to get much going after the catch, but was able to haul in his opportunities. Kelce has been one of the best tight end options all season, so there is no […]
