Shane Larkin Ruled Out Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the third straight game that Larkin has been forced to miss. Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) has also been ruled out for this contest. Terry Rozier is expected to start and play all the minutes he […]

Marcus Morris Won't Play on Friday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (hip) will not play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. He crashed down on his hip during Wednesday's victory and was helped off the floor. He did not return to the game, so it is not surprising to see him ruled out for this contest. Jayson Tatum and Semi Ojeleye […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) has been ruled out against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. It was predictable after Irving was forced to miss Wednesday's contest. The Celtics are hosting the worst team in the NBA in the Hawks, so there's no need to rush Irving back to the court. Shane Larkin (knee) has […]

Cody Zeller is Probable Against Pacers

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) is probable for Friday's contest against the Indiana Pacers. He's been out for almost two months, so expect some heavy minutes limits going forward. Zeller was averaging 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 19.9 minutes before the injury. He was the backup to Dwight Howard prior to […]

Dennis Schroder is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics. He will likely be a game-time decision but is on track to play. He injured his shoulder in the first half of Wednesday's game but was able to play through it. Malcolm Delaney and Isaiah Taylor would […]

Nikola Mirotic Won't Be Available on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic will not be available for Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is expected to make his Pelicans debut on Saturday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mirotic was posting career highs before he was traded from Chicago. He's averaging 16.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 triples in 24.9 minutes. […]

Jabari Parker Expected to Play on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker (knee) is expected to make his season debut against the New York Knicks on Friday. Parker said he expects to play 15 minutes, but there is no official word on his minutes restrictions yet. He is going to be on minutes limits for at least the next couple of weeks. […]

Malcolm Brogdon is Doubtful on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (quadriceps) is doubtful to play against the New York Knicks on Friday. He played in just 10 minutes of Thursday's contest and left the locker room on crutches. He is almost certainly going to miss time, but the Bucks still have seven games before the All-Star break. There is no […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is questionable to play against the New York Knicks on Friday. He twisted his ankle pretty badly in Thursday's contest and was unable to put any weight on it after the game. Jabari Parker (knee) is expected to play, but it won't make up for the loss of Giannis. […]

C.J. Miles is Questionable on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He did not go through shootaround and has been experiencing some knee soreness. Norman Powell filled in nicely for Miles on Tuesday. He's expected to do the same if Miles is forced to the sidelines again. Powell is not worth […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) will not play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The Hornets have ruled him out early for the second game in a row. He could be out for additional time and is reportedly on the trade block. Frank Kaminsky started on Wednesday, but Treveon Graham saw the increase in […]

Eric Bledsoe Ruled Out Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was listed as doubtful but never really had much of a chance to play in this contest. Owners should prepare to be without Bledsoe for Friday's game against the Knicks as well. Malcolm Brogdon, Matthew Dellavedova and […]

Mario Chalmers Ruled Out Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (hamstring) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. Deyonta Davis (knee), James Ennis (illness) and JaMychal Green (ankle) are all questionable for this contest. Andrew Harrison logged heavy minutes as the starting point guard on Wednesday. Wayne Selden scored 24 points with six triples in the loss on Wednesday. […]

JaMychal Green is Questionable on Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. He's missed five games in a row but was expected to return this week. Green is expected to play on Sunday if he does sit out on Thursday. Jarell Martin will lose most of his fantasy appeal once Green […]

Eric Gordon Not Expected to Play Thursday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) is not expected to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Gordon has dealt with back issues since 2011, so it is not surprising the injury has crept up on him again. Gerald Green is expected to slide into Gordon's role if he's sidelined. Luc Mbah a […]

Chris Paul Plans to Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (groin) plans to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. He did not play on Tuesday due to a minor groin issue. The Rockets decided to be careful, but Paul downplayed the groin injury himself. There is little reason to believe that Paul would be limited on Thursday, […]

Mason Plumlee Could Be Out 2-4 Weeks

Denver Nuggets forward/center Mason Plumlee (calf) could be out for the next two to four weeks. It's not an official timetable, but it sounds like Plumlee is targeting a return after the All-Star break. Paul Millsap (wrist) is expected to return before that. Trey Lyles is worth owning in the short term while Millsap and […]

Gary Harris is Probable on Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is the first time we're hearing about an ankle issue, but it does not sound too serious at the moment. He's fully expected to start on Thursday, but owners should check back just in case before […]

Blake Griffin Will Start on Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Blake Griffin will make his first appearance with the Pistons in Thursday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll be joined by Ish Smith, Reggie Bullock, Stanley Johnson and Andre Drummond in the starting five. Head coach Stan Van Gundy wants at least Griffin or Drummond on the floor at all times. That […]

Myles Turner is Questionable for Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's played in three straight contests and was finally getting back to full speed. The injuries continue to pile up for Turner. He's now experienced the following injuries this season; knee, elbow, thigh, calf and concussion. Domantas Sabonis […]

Fred VanVleet Ruled Out Thursday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (personal) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. VanVleet played 21 minutes on Tuesday after his wife gave birth on Sunday. It's assumed VanVleet is out on Thursday due to family matters. Delon Wright will see increased minutes as the backup guard. Norman Powell is […]

Lance Stephenson is Questionable on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. It is not that big of an issue, so if he does sit on Wednesday, it'll likely just be a one-game absence. Bojan Bogdanovic and Cory Joseph would split the majority of the minutes if Stephenson is out. […]

Devin Booker Questionable Against Mavs

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ribs) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The X-rays came back negative, but it would not be too surprising if Booker sat out one more game. Marquese Chriss (ankle) is also listed as questionable for this contest. Isaiah Canaan and Dragan Bender would get another chance […]

JaMychal Green is Doubtful Against Pacers

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. It looks like Green will most likely be spending his fifth game in a row on the sidelines. Jarell Martin will see more minutes if Green does not play on Wednesday. Green has not been very good this season, […]

Dillon Brooks is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (knee) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. He tweaked his knee on Monday, and it would not be surprising if the Grizzlies decide to give him the night off. If Brooks is out, Jarell Martin, Wayne Selden and Kobi Simmons would see increased minutes and usage. […]

Paul Zipser Will Start on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser will draw the start against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Lauri Markkanen (personal) has been ruled out, which gives Zipser the rare start. Zipser is not expected to see many minutes on the floor. Nikola Mirotic (leg) is expected to be available, but might not play due to trade […]

Nikola Mirotic Will Be Available on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (leg) said he will be available against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. The trade rumors continue to heat up surrounding Mirotic. He just wants to play and not deal with the trade talk. He's going to be an extremely risky option right now because of all the trade talk. […]

Alex Len Won't Play Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Alex Len (ankle) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Len is dealing with an ankle injury and has missed three of the last four contests. Greg Monroe will head back into the rotation and could see big minutes on Wednesday. Dragan Bender will be mixed in as well, and […]

Shane Larkin Questionable on Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. His playing status is usually irrelevant, but Marcus Smart (hand) and Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) have been ruled out Wednesday. Terry Rozier will be looking at heavy minutes if Larkin is unavailable as well. Otherwise, the two […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Against Knicks

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He'll join Marcus Smart (hand) on the sidelines, which could mean heavy minutes for Terry Rozier. The absence of Irving will make Rozier a favorable target in DFS. Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will see […]
