Tyreek Hill Should Be Reliable

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill went from boom or bust to one of the most trustworthy WRs in fantasy. In his last six contests, Hill caught at least four receptions for 40 yards or more. He caught three touchdowns during that span and had two games with 100 yards or more. Hill will […]

Kareem Hunt is RB1 Against Titans

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt capped off his rookie campaign with the NFL rushing title. He rushed for 35 yards in Week 17 and finished with 1,327 yards and eight rushing touchdowns on the season. He heads into Saturday with five touchdowns in his last four games. The Chiefs will likely lean on […]

Alex Smith is A Safe Option

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith heads into a playoff game against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. Smith finished the season with an impressive 26:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio on the season. He didn't throw an interception until Week 9 and is one of the main reasons the Chiefs are in the playoffs. He's a safe option […]

Omri Casspi is Questionable Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Omri Casspi (back) is considered questionable to play against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He was held out on Wednesday, but the Warriors will need him with Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined Thursday. Casspi has started for Durant in the past, so there is a good chance he does again if he's […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He's dealing with a right calf strain that he suffered during the first quarter of Wednesday's game. Durant still played 38 minutes, recording 25 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and four blocks. The Warriors are likely just being cautious since it's […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The good news is Winslow did return to practice on Thursday. It was non-contact work but a good sign moving forward. Winslow hasn't played since Dec. 13, but there is a chance he returns next week. There […]

Stanley Johnson is Doubtful for Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) is considered doubtful to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. He's still not practicing and is on the verge of missing his third straight game. He's averaging 7.5 points, 3.7 boards and 1.2 steals per game on 35.3 percent shooting, so he wasn't a good fantasy option even […]

Andre Drummond Misses Practice Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (ribs) missed practice on Thursday and is a game-time decision for Friday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Stan Van Gundy said the injury was about pain tolerance, so it's likely just a day-to-day issue. Boban Marjanovic dropped 15 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 […]

Austin Rivers is Questionable on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (Achilles) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Rivers has been working out the past couple of days and dealt with discomfort in his foot. Head coach Doc Rivers is considering sending him to another physician to get Rivers re-evaluated. The Clippers listed Rivers as questionable […]

Caris LeVert is Out on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. This will mark the first game of the season that LeVert has been inactive. Sadly, it's coming when he's the hottest, averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists over his last four contests. Allen Crabbe, Joe Harris, and Nik […]

Will Barton Questionable Against Suns

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (illness) is considered questionable to play versus the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Lately, Barton has been dealing with a back issue, but he popped up on the injury report Wednesday due to illness. Gary Harris and Jamal Murray have seen their production and usage rates increase in games without Barton. […]

Draymond Green Questionable Versus Mavs

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is considered questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. He tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's practice, but is likely headed towards a game-time decision. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, but against the 13-win Mavs, the Warriors may elect to rest Green and let […]

Kyle Kuzma is Available Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (quadriceps) is available to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. He's been dealing with a lingering quad issue since last week but has yet to miss any time on the court. After an incredible start to the season, Kuzma has come back down to earth. Over the […]

Brook Lopez Will Return Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez (ankle) will be available to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. This will be the first time Lopez has played since he sprained his ankle on Dec. 18. Lopez will have a minutes limit and hasn't lived up to the expectations in LA. Both Julius Randle and […]

Andre Iguodala Out On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (back) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's not surprising to see Iggy on the sidelines against the 13-win Mavericks. Omri Casspi (back) will get the night off as well, but both are expected to be able […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Kawhi Leonard (rest) and Tony Parker (rest) will also be on the sidelines, but Green is dealing with an actual injury. Head coach Gregg Popovich hinted after Tuesday's victory that Green could be "shut down for a while." With […]

Stanley Johnson Ruled Out Against Heat

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Miami Heat. This will be Johnson's second straight game on the sidelines. That means more minutes for both Luke Kennard and Reggie Bullock. Both have been playing well lately but could see reduced roles with Avery Bradley returning from injury. […]

Avery Bradley Will Play Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) will play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Bradley has missed the last seven games with a groin issue. It's safe to assume that Bradley will be working with some sort of minutes limit on Wednesday. Anthony Tolliver is expected to head back to the bench and play with […]

James Johnson Questionable Against Pistons

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Johnson was a full participant at shootaround and is likely headed towards a game-time decision. He's missed six of the last seven contests due to an ankle issue. Making it through shootaround is a good sign that he'll be […]

Isaiah Thomas Won't Play on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas (rest) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Thomas made his season debut on Tuesday, scoring 17 points ( six of 12 field goals, two of four free throws) in his Cleveland debut. He added three assists, three triples and two turnovers in 19 minutes against the Blazers. He will […]

Joel Embiid Remains Doubtful on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (hand) is doubtful to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He did not participate in shootaround, and is likely going to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest. If Embiid sits, Ben Simmons will benefit the most and should see a spike in usage. Richaun Holmes will see […]

Nikola Mirotic is Probable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (ribs) is probable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was listed as questionable in the game notes but has now been upgraded to probable. It's always tough to trust the game notes, so owners will need to wait until head coach Fred Hoiberg addresses the media prior […]

Ron Baker Ruled Out on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Ron Baker (eye) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Baker suffered the injury when trying to contest a dunk by Anthony Davis in Saturday's victory over the Pelicans. He'll be fitted for a mask, and he's considered day-to-day. Clint Capela only missed two games with […]

Draymond Green Questionable for Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Green tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's practice and is now considered questionable against the Mavs. Wednesday is the beginning of a back-to-back set, which features the Rockets on Thursday. The Warriors could elect to rest Green against the […]

Frank Mason Expected to Miss One Week

Sacramento Kings point guard Frank Mason III (heel) is expected to miss roughly one week. That means Mason has been ruled out of Tuesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, and could be out longer than one week. The Kings don't have much of a reason to rush Mason back to the court. George Hill and […]

Kawhi Leonard is Probable on Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) is probable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Tuesday's game is the first of a back-to-back set for the Spurs. That means if Leonard does play on Tuesday, he'll likely be sitting out Wednesday's contest against the 76ers. Leonard hasn't been cleared to play in back-to-back […]

De'Aaron Fox is Available on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (quadriceps) is available to play against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. Fox isn't guaranteed to be out there, but he will be available and has a decent chance of getting on the court Tuesday night. Frank Mason III (heel) is out, which makes Sacramento thin at the point guard […]

Joel Embiid is Doubtful for Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The X-rays on Embiid's hand came back negative, but it sounds like his hand has swelled up since Sunday. The Sixers tend to handle Embiid carefully, so it's likely he watches Wednesday's game from the sidelines. If […]

Markelle Fultz in Final Stages of His Return

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz (shoulder) is in the final stages of his return-to-play program. Fultz will ramp up his activities at practice and his conditioning work will increase. The Sixers have not yet announced a timetable, but Fultz is getting close. T.J. McConnell and Jerryd Bayless will lose playing time and value once Fultz […]

Andre Roberson Out At Least Three Games

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson (knee) will not play during the upcoming three-game road trip (Tuesday verus the Lakers, Wednesday versus the Clippers or Sunday versus the Suns). The next chance Roberson will get is next Tuesday against the Blazers. Josh Huestis started on Sunday night but failed to score a single point and […]
