OG Anunoby Expected to Return on Monday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) did not play on Friday and missed practice on Sunday. However, Anunoby is expected to be ready for Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Anunoby is a solid defensive player, but can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Fred VanVleet Practices on Sunday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet (toe) went through a limited practice on Sunday. He is considered questionable for Monday's game. VanVleet was listed as probable on Friday, but sat out of that contest. Delon Wright would see increased playing time if VanVleet is unable to suit up.

Dillon Brooks is Available Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) will be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Kyle Anderson is in the starting lineup, but his early struggles could mean more minutes for Brooks. However, it's unlikely that Brooks gets enough minutes to be valuable in fantasy leagues.

Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Will Play Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are both available for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ellington will make his season debut, but Rodney McGruder has been playing well, so it'll be interesting to see how the minutes are distributed. Jones has been playing power forward this season, so […]

Anthony Davis Sitting Out on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (elbow) will not play in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He suffered the issue during Friday's game and it reportedly didn't bother him until after the game. Julius Randle (foot) will move into the starting lineup for this one. He's a fairly decent option for DFS contests. Cheick […]

Marc Gasol Will Play on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (neck) will play against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Gasol has been dealing with neck soreness, but did return to practice on Friday without any setbacks. Gasol has a strong matchup against the weak Suns defense. He should be a reliable option for fantasy leagues on Saturday.

Dillon Brooks Listed as Probable on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was called doubtful for Wednesday's game and still played 14 minutes. Brooks will likely be limited again as he continues to deal with right foot soreness. Kyle Anderson should see more minutes, but he's been struggling this […]

Markieff Morris Misses Practice on Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (illness) did not practice on Saturday. He looked fine against the Kings on Friday, but hopefully this is nothing serious. The Wizards play the Clippers on Sunday, so Morris is going to need to get over this illness quickly. Jeff Green and Kelly Oubre would see increased roles if Morris […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) rolled his ankle in practice and is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Embiid has been playing nearly 36 minutes per game, so they may decide to be cautious with him. This report was announced on Friday, so there has been no update on Embiid's current status. […]

Rodions Kurucs Sitting Out on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) is sitting out of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kurucs will sit out about a week after tweaking his ankle last weekend. He had a great preseason, so hopefully he's able to get healthy and contribute in the Nets rotation. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is going to take a […]

Darius Miller Won't Play on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Darius Miller (quad) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Miller suffered a right quad contusion during Friday's contest. This isn't a huge blow to the Pelicans because Miller has not done much of anything all season. Wesley Johnson and Solomon Hill should see increased playing time […]

Luc Mbah a Moute is Questionable for Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. He did not play on Friday due to a lingering knee issue. He has not done much when he does play, so he belongs on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues. Montrezl Harrell has been fantastic, averaging […]

Lonzo Ball Will Start on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball will remain in the starting lineup against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. The Lakers have played their two best games of the season with Ball as the starter. Rajon Rondo (suspension) is returning on Saturday, but will come off the bench. This is great news for Ball's […]

Russell Westbrook Doesn't Practice on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (shoulder) did not practice on Saturday and his status for Sunday's game is unclear. He missed the first two games of the season while recovering from knee surgery. It's unknown how Westbrook picked up this shoulder issue. Dennis Schroder would start and be a popular DFS candidate, assuming […]

James Johnson Ruled Out on Saturday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (groin) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Johnson has been practicing this week, but has not been cleared to play yet. It sounds like the Heat are going to be cautious and wait until Johnson is 100 percent before letting him on the court. […]

Reggie Bullock is Probable Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Reggie Bullock (shoulder) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock is dealing with a left shoulder sprain, but it does not appear to be serious. Luke Kennard (shoulder) is sidelined currently and Stanley Johnson has been awful. Bullock is going to see big minutes right now, but […]

Julius Randle Listed as Probable on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Randle is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Randle scored 14 points with seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks on Friday. This issue is something that can really only be healed by […]

Elfrid Payton Expected to Play on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (leg) is expected to play on Saturday and is not on the injury report against the Utah Jazz. Payton experienced some cramping on Friday, but it does not seem like anything serious. He's been hot to start the season and appears fine for Saturday's contest. Fantasy owners shouldn't […]

Justise Winslow Remains Probable Against Blazers

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Derrick Jones (foot) and Wayne Ellington (ankle) are also listed as probable for this one. However, Winslow was probable last game and was not able to play because his hamstring tightened up on him. It's unclear if […]

Derrick Jones Remains Probable on Saturday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jones did not play on Wednesday, but is expected to suit up for this contest. Both Justise Winslow (hamstring) and Wayne Ellington (ankle) are listed as probable on Saturday. Jones is going to see his playing time […]

Wayne Ellington is Probable on Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This would be his season debut, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback before tip off. Ellington is going to have competition with Dwayne Wade and Rodney McGruder fighting for the same minutes. Ellington has some fantasy value, but mostly […]

Tyreke Evans Won't Play Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (personal) won't play in Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Evans reportedly violated team rules by missing practice, so he'll be forced to sit out a game. Head coach Nate McMillan didn't offer many details about the situation. Darren Collison and Cory Joseph will see increased minutes and usage on […]

Iman Shumpert Remains Questionable on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sat out on Wednesday after being listed as questionable for that contest as well. Justin Jackson could be looking at a bigger role in the rotation without Shumpert around. However, owners will likely have to wait until closer to […]

Ian Mahinmi Remains Questionable on Friday

Washington Wizards center Ian Mahinmi (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He missed Wednesday's contest and did not go through shootaround on Friday. Jason Smith would likely draw the start if Mahinmi is forced to the sideline. Jeff Green and Kelly Oubre could get more involved as well without Mahinmi in […]

Bradley Beal is Questionable on Friday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (chest) did not go through shootaround and is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He took a hit to the chest on Wednesday, but the X-rays came back clean. Beal sitting out for shootaround is not a good sign. Austin Rivers and Kelly Oubre would be […]

Julius Randle is Probable for Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been on the injury report a few times, but has not missed a game yet. Randle has plantar fasciitis which is an issue that has a tendency to linger. Rest is really the only way to heal this […]

Andrew Wiggins Sitting Out on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Wiggins and Jimmy Butler (illness) were listed as questionable heading into this one. Butler is starting, but Wiggins is not able to play just yet. Josh Okogie will draw the start for Wiggins on Friday.

Jimmy Butler Remains Questionable on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (illness) remains questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's unclear whether Butler is actually sick or if the Wolves are just holding him out for trade reasons. Andrew Wiggins (thigh) has been ruled out for this one. Josh Okogie and Derrick Rose should see extended playing time on Friday.

Fred VanVleet Ruled Out on Friday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was downgraded from probable to questionable earlier today, so seeing him sit out isn't surprising. Kyle Lowry is going to see all the minutes he can handle on Friday. Norman Powell and Danny Green should benefit […]

Harrison Barnes Will Play on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. It sounds like he's going to see less minutes than usual as the Mavs ease him back into action. He's too risky to use in DFS contests on Friday. Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber should lose value and playing time with […]
