Todd Gurley Will Continue to be Unstoppable

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed for over 200 yards last week and he might just do it again in Week 7. Gurley has scored 11 total touchdowns this season and he'll likely add to that this week. The 49ers run defense has been below average and should have a difficult time trying […]

Jared Goff Should Rebound Against 49ers

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been shaky over the last two games. He's only thrown one touchdown while throwing three interceptions over the last two weeks. Luckily, Goff is heading into a matchup against the 49ers defense that is allowing two passing touchdowns per game this season. This is the perfect spot for […]

Dwyane Wade Expected to Play on Thursday

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade (rest) is expected to play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game in a back-to-back set, so usually a veteran like Wade would rest. However, the Heat are banged up and need all the help they can get right now. Wade should see minutes in […]

Delon Wright is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice and remains questionable for Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics. It would be surprising to see Wright back on the court this quick. Fred Vanvleet should see minutes in the 20-25 range if Wright sits out again.

Allen Crabbe Could Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. There haven't been any reports about Crabbe practicing, so this is surprising news. His return should decrease the playing time of guys like Joe Harris. Crabbe is really only worth a look in deeper leagues at the moment.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (personal) did not practice on Thursday, but is probable for Friday's contest. RHJ recently became a father, so his status for Friday is still unknown. Most likely he'll be able to return, but there is a chance he does miss Friday's game. He didn't play in the preseason due to […]

Julius Randle Expected to Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Randle is dealing with left foot plantar fasciitis, which basically only heals with rest. He remains listed as probable for the moment, but fantasy owners are just going to have to wait and see.

JaMychal Green is Probable for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Green was reportedly dealing with a sore shoulder, but the knee injury is new. He's listed as probable, so this likely isn't a serious issue. Jaren Jackson Jr. is going to eat away at Green's minutes all season […]

Denzel Valentine Ruled Out on Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Valentine has been unable to get through a full practice. He won't be able to get back into game action until he can fully practice. Justin Holiday should see plenty of playing time in this one. Valentine is […]

Cameron Payne Will Start on Thursday

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start at point guard against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Kris Dunn (personal) is not available for this one, so Payne will get the emergency start. Payne could be a cheap DFS option, but he didn't play overly well last season. Zach LaVine is likely the […]

Dion Waiters, James Johnson Will Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) and forward James Johnson (hernia) will both remain on the sideline for Thursday's game. There have not been any reports of Waiters increasing activity at practice. His timetable remains a question mark at the moment. Johnson should return to action shortly. He could be back in the rotation as […]

Justise Winslow is Doubtful on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. This is the second game of a back-to-back set and Winslow sat out on Wednesday. It's highly unlikely that Winslow is ready to play without any practice time beforehand. Rodney McGruder and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased playing time, […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ellington was forced to miss all of the preseason and the first game of the season due to a sore left ankle. The Heat have multiple players likely watching from the sidelines on Thursday. Josh Richardson should see […]

Omari Spellman is Doubtful for Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Spellman scored seven points with three rebounds, one steal and one block in Wednesday's season opener. Miles Plumlee and Alex Poythress should gain some playing time if Spellman is forced to sit out.

Dwight Howard Will Sit Out on Thursday

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (back) will sit out of Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Howard reportedly still needs to get in more practice time before he's ready to return to the court. Ian Mahinmi should see plenty of minutes coming his way. Markieff Morris will likely see some playing time at center as […]

Wayne Ellington, Justise Winslow Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) are listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Ellington was able to practice on Monday, but it doesn't seem likely that he'll be ready for game action. Winslow has been limited in practice, so his status remains doubtful for Wednesday as […]

Stanley Johnson is Still Questionable on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Johnson is still bothered by a toe issue he suffered during the preseason. This could be the type of issue that lingers around and forces him out of action every now and then. There isn't really a single […]

Jahlil Okafor Remains Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. His status is still up in the air, so nothing will likely be confirmed until closer to game time. Anthony Davis is active and starting, so Okafor does not have much fantasy value. Cheick Diallo could grab some extra […]

Mike Muscala is Doubtful for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Muscala (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed Tuesday's contest and could be sidelined once again on Thursday. T.J. McConnell and Amir Johnson would see increased playing time with Muscala out. McConnell is the better fantasy option here. Johnson does not make much of an impact […]

Wilson Chandler Will Not Play on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Head coach Brett Brown said Chandler is still "a ways away" from returning to the court. He should be considered out indefinitely. Jerryd Bayless (knee) and Zhaire Smith (foot) will join Chandler on the sideline against Chicago. T.J. McConnell […]

Larry Nance Jr. Won't Play on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's season opener against the Raptors. This injury could sideline Nance for a couple of games, but nothing long-term, hopefully. He is considered questionable for Friday's game at the moment. Tristan Thompson will get the start at center and should see big minutes against […]

Marquese Chriss is Doubtful for Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Marquese Chriss (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's season opener against the New Orleans Pelicans. It sounds unlikely that Chriss is going to be healthy enough to play in this one. He has plenty of talent, but has not put in all together yet. Most fantasy owners can go ahead and […]

Dwight Howard Practices on Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (back) went through practice for the third straight day on Wednesday. Howard remains questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Heat, but is heading in a positive direction. There should be more information about whether or not he'll be available after shootaround on Thursday. This sounds like a minor issue, […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler will play on Wednesday in the season opener against the Spurs. Wolves owner Glen Taylor said he's committed to finding a trade partner for Butler. It sounds like Butler is going to continue to practice and play in games until he's traded. Fantasy owners don't have anything to worry about […]

J.R. Smith Ruled Out for Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Toronto Raptors. He was already doubtful heading into this one, so it's not surprising to see him officially ruled out. Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood should see extended run without Smith in the rotation. Smith isn't worth owning in […]

Cory Joseph Will Play on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers point guard Cory Joseph (knee) will be available to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Grizzlies. Joseph suffered a minor knee injury during the preseason, but appears to have recovered. However, Joseph is not too high on the depth chart, so his minutes are going to be limited with the starting guards […]

Myles Turner Will Play on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (ankle) will play in Wednesday's season opener against the Grizzlies. Turner tweaked his ankle during practice on Monday. However, the Pacers expected Turner to be ready by Wednesday. He should see plenty of run in this one, but staying on the court has been difficult for Turner at times. Fantasy […]

Cristiano Felicio, Denzel Valentine Questionable for Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Cristiano Da Silva Felicio (ankle) and guard/forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) are questionable for Thursday's season opener against the 76ers. Felicio is not practicing on Wednesday, so it sounds unlikely that he will be ready. Felicio is buried in the depth chart, so there is no guarantee he'd play healthy. Valentine missed the […]

Jabari Parker Will Come Off Bench

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker will come off the bench with the second unit in Thursday's season opener against the 76ers. Parker signed a two-year $40 million deal with Chicago over the offseason. He'll be the sixth man off the bench, but should still see plenty of playing time. Bobby Portis will operate as the […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Start on Thursday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will draw the start at center in Thursday's regular season opener against the 76ers. It didn't take long at all for Carter to take over as the starting center in Chicago. It'll be interesting to see how to minutes are split up between Carter and Robin Lopez. He'll be […]
