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.

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.

Andre Drummond Will Be Available on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (illness) will be available to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.

Rodions Kurucs Won't Play on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

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.

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.

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.

Jonas Valanciunas is Losing Playing Time

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas has watched his playing time decrease this season. He averaged 12.7 points and 8.6 rebounds in 22.4 minutes per game last season. This season he's averaging 8.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in just 18.0 minutes. Head coach Nick Nurse is playing Valanciunas off the bench more often which has led […]

Mario Hezonja Expected to See Increased Role

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja is expected to see an increased role in the rotation going forward. Kevin Knox (ankle) is sidelined, so Hezonja should benefit from that. Knox could be out as long as a month, so Hezonja could have some short-term fantasy value. Hezonja has not done much with the Knicks this […]

Mike Muscala Practices on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice. He is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Muscala has not played this season, but he does appear close to returning. Joel Embiid and Dario Saric are going to see most of the minutes, so Muscala won't […]

Andre Drummond is Questionable for Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Drummond is currently dealing with the flu and missed Monday's practice because of it. His status for Tuesday is uncertain, but that depends on how he's feeling come tip-off. The Pistons likely aren't going to make a final decision on […]

Kris Dunn Will Play on Monday

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn (personal) is expected to return and start against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Dunn is back after missing time due to the birth of his child. He reportedly missed Monday's shootaround, but is expected to be ready by tip-off. Cameron Payne will head back to the bench and Ryan […]

Aron Baynes Has Been Ruled Out on Monday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (hamstring) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Baynes could be sidelined for a bit. Daniel Theis should see an increased workload with Baynes out on Monday. However, Theis shouldn't get enough minutes to make him valuable in […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable on Monday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Morris finished with 16 points, six rebounds, two assists and two treys in 26 minutes on Saturday versus the Knicks. Jayson Tatum, Semi Ojeleye, and Daniel Theis would see increased playing time if Morris is forced to sit out.

Marquese Chriss is Not Close to Returning

Houston Rockets forward Marquese Chriss (ankle) did not play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Chriss continues to deal with a left ankle injury that could force him to miss significant time. There have been no reports about Chriss even being close to returning to action. It appears the Rockets are fine with Chriss […]

Courtney Lee Will Undergo Tests on Monday

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) will undergo tests on Monday in an attempt to determine what is causing his neck pain. Lee has not played this season and has already been ruled out on Monday. The rebuilding Knicks don't have a lot of room for Lee even if he was healthy. Fantasy owners […]

Rodions Kurucs Appears to be Fine

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) appears to be fine after suffering a sprained ankle during Saturday's contest. Kurucs was helped off the court during Saturday's loss to the Pacers. The X-rays came back negative, so it appears to be just a sprain for Kurucs. However, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (personal, groin) is expected to return on […]
