T.J. Warren Expects to Start Friday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (back) is expected to rejoin the starting lineup on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. He practiced on Wednesday and is on track to return after a two-game absence. Marquese Chriss will not play and has been ruled out of action for Friday. Josh Jackson will lose some minutes and […]

Marquese Chriss Ruled Out Friday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark the fourth straight game without Chriss, and it's unclear when he'll be back on the court. Owners should try hanging onto him because he does have promising upside when healthy. Dragan Bender figures to draw […]

Lance Stephenson is Questionable Against Blazers

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (illness) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. He was left at the team hotel during shootaround and is likely headed towards a game-time decision against the Blazers. Stephenson has been more of an option in deeper leagues but has put together multiple double-double performances over […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Smart and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday and are both questionable heading into Thursday's contest with the Sixers. The Celtics could be thin at guard if both of them are unable to play. Terry Rozier, Shane […]

Kyrie Irving Questionable Against Sixers

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He did not practice on Wednesday and also played a season-high 41 minutes in Tuesday's loss to New Orleans. Irving has a 35.4 field goal percentagge over his last five games, so a night off wouldn't be the worst […]

Nene Hilario Expected to Return Thursday

Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario (knee) is expected to return against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. He's missed the last six games with a knee issue, but has a good chance of returning against the Wolves. There should be official confirmation closer to game time, but Nene doesn't offer much value in fantasy hoops. His […]

James Harden Will Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Head coach Mike D'Antoni expects Harden to play 24-25 minutes. Harden missed seven games and hasn't played since December 31, so it's not surprising to see him with a minutes limit. Gerald Green will be serving […]

Derrick Rose is Probable on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is probable to play against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. Rose believes he'll be able to play on Thursday, but wants to test his ankle in shootaround before making a final decision. Guard Iman Shumpert (knee) has been ruled out, but that won't benefit Rose too much. As […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Green says his shoulder feels fine, so expect him to be ready to play on Saturday against the Houston Rockets. Jordan Bell is expected to draw the start on Wednesday. Green being sidelined means more minutes for […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Expected to Return Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Jeff Hornacek hinted on Tuesday that THJ could be returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday. Lance Thomas would head back to the second unit with THJ returning to the lineup. Michael […]

Frank Kaminsky is Probable Against Wizards

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He tweaked his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Detroit Pistons. It looks like he might not need to miss any time, but owners should check back closer to game time. If Kaminsky […]

DeAndre Jordan is Questionable on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. He's missed two games in a row and is likely headed towards another game on the sidelines. Head coach Doc Rivers said he'd be surprised to see Jordan return before the weekend. Backup center Willie Reed […]

T.J. Warren and Marquese Chriss Ruled Out

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (back) and forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) have been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both players were listed as questionable heading into Tuesday but will be sidelined for the contest. Josh Jackson is expected to start for Warren and will be a solid DFS option […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Russell did not practice on Tuesday, but will participate in Wednesday's shootaround. He's close to getting back on the court, and his next chance to play will be Friday against the Miami Heat. Allen Crabbe may […]

Frank Kaminsky Questionable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky (ankle) is questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. He sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Pistons. It wouldn't be surprising to see Kaminsky sit out on Wednesday, but more information should be known after Wednesday's shootaround. If Kaminsky is sidelined, Marvin […]

Brandon Ingram is Questionable Against OKC

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is listed as questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Ingram was able to practice with the team on Tuesday and said he was "confident" he'd be able to play Wednesday. He was "a little sore" after Monday's loss to Memphis, but it doesn't sound […]

Lonzo Ball is Doubtful for Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is doubtful to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. The MRI came back clean, but Ball was unable to play in Monday's contest against Memphis. Head coach Luke Walton doesn't expect Ball to play in Wednesday's contest with OKC. Owners can wait until official confirmation […]

Avery Bradley is Questionable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) is questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He did not practice on Tuesday and was sidelined for seven games earlier in the season with a right groin strain. This could be the organization just giving Bradley a rest day, but we'll have to wait until head […]

Tyler Johnson Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. According to Tom D'Angelo, the Heat will likely be without Johnson "for at least the short term." Originally the organization feared a much more serious injury when Johnson fell to the ground clutching his knee during Monday's contest. However, […]

Josh Jackson Questionable Against Blazers

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (groin) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game as well and started in place of T.J. Warren (back) in that one. Jackson scored a career-high 21 points in 30 minutes during Sunday's contest. Over the last four games, […]

T.J. Warren Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (back) is listed as questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Josh Jackson (groin) started for Warren in Sunday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. He scored a career-high 21 points in 30 minutes. He would likely get the start if Warren is unable to play, but […]

Marquese Chriss Doubtful on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) is doubtful to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. He's missed each of the last two games and is likely going to be on the sidelines again Tuesday. Dragan Bender is expected to start if Chriss is unable to suit up. Bender scored zero points on 0-for-7 […]

Myles Turner Likely Out for Road Trip

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) is likely looking at four more games on the sidelines. Head coach Nate McMillan said he couldn't guarantee that Turner returns during the Pacers' current road trip. Turner has been ruled out of Tuesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. His next chance to play would be Thursday versus the […]

Zach LaVine Will Play About 20 Minutes Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will play about 20 minutes in Monday's contest against the Miami Heat. LaVine made his season debut Saturday, scoring 14 points with two assists in 19 minutes. Once again, the Bulls aren't going to let LaVine play in the fourth quarter. Denzel Valentine will lose some minutes and value […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out On Monday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Leonard's shoulder seemed fine in Saturday's contest, but now he's being bothered by a quad issue. This quad problem has been a lingering issue since the offseason. Monday's contest against the Hawks should be an easy win […]

Jayson Tatum Probable for Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is probable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. The good news is Tatum's test results came back fine, so it's not a long-term issue. Tatum is dealing with a minor knee tweak and went through most of Monday's practice. He should be able to play on […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out on Monday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) will not play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. He scored 25 points with five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 33 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The Knicks will rest THJ on Monday since it's the second game of a back-to-back set. […]

Tyler Zeller Will Start Against Knicks

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Tyler Zeller (hip) will start against the New York Knicks on Monday. He missed Saturday's game with a hip issue, but should be ready to play his normal minutes Monday. Zeller's return will move Quincy Acy back to the bench. The Nets have too many centers and not enough minutes to go […]

Kyle Lowry Will Start on Monday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (tailbone) will start against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. He's back after a three-game absence and shouldn't be under a minutes limit. Delon Wright will head back to the bench, but he was playing fantastic in the three games without Lowry. Fred VanVleet will lose the most value and […]

Quincy Acy Will Start At Center

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Quincy Acy will make the start at center on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. He played 27 minutes on Friday with nine points and seven rebounds in the victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Tyler Zeller (hip) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest, which has opened up more playing time for Acy. […]
