Yuta Watanabe Won't Play On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Yuta Watanabe (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against Portland. The 28-year-old has missed the last two games because of a right hamstring strain, although he may be nearing a return. Watanabe has played well this season, averaging a career-high 8.1 points and shooting 57.1% from deep, so the Nets are certainly missing […]

Chris Paul Out Again On Saturday Evening

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) is out for Saturday's contest against Utah, marking his nine-consecutive absence due to right heel soreness. Without a definitive return date for Paul, Cameron Payne should continue to replace him. The 28-year-old has averaged 18.5 points, 6.9 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting an efficient 42.9% from deep in […]

Alperen Sengun Upgraded For Meeting With OKC

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) is probable for Saturday's meeting with Oklahoma City. The 20-year-old didn't play on Friday night versus Atlanta because of a groin issue, allowing Bruno Fernando to get the start and finish with seven points, three rebounds, and one block. The Rockets will certainly be happy to get Sengun back […]

Bruno Fernando Out On Saturday

Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando (knee) is out on Saturday versus OKC for maintenance purposes. The 24-year-old played on Friday night against Atlanta for the first time in over a month after being sidelined with a knee injury. Alperen Sengun (groin) didn't suit up for that one, so Fernando got the start and finished with […]

Josh Richardson Remains Out Versus The Lakers

San Antonio Spurs guard Josh Richardson (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Lakers, marking his third-straight absence because of a sprained ankle. Keita Bates-Diop (ankle) is also out, so Romeo Langford, Zach Collins, and Malaki Branham should see the most work from off the bench. However, none of the three are reliable fantasy producers.

Keita Bates-Diop Out On Saturday Night

San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop (ankle) won't suit up on Saturday against the Lakers. The 26-year-old seemingly sprained his left ankle on Friday in the first of back-to-back meetings with Los Angeles, ending his night after only three minutes on the court. Bates-Diop has averaged only 7.4 points, although he's doubled that in his […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Versus San Antonio

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is questionable for Saturday's rematch against the Spurs. With LeBron James (adductor) returning on Friday following a five-game layoff, it's possible Davis gets the night off to finally get some rest. That said, if A.D. isn't available, Wenyen Gabriel may replace him in the lineup. Gabriel has averaged […]

LeBron James Probable For Rematch With Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (adductor) is expected to play on Saturday for the second of consecutive meetings with the Spurs. The multi-time MVP returned on Friday night following a five-game absence. He logged 33 minutes in that one, finishing with 21 points, eight rebounds, three steals, and a block. James did have nine […]

Bears Could Hold Justin Fields Out To Avoid Long-Term Damage

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (shoulder) remains questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Jets. The signal-caller has a separated shoulder but is willing to play through pain moving ahead. However, with Chicago unlikely to make the postseason, the team could keep him out if it means avoiding "long-term damage," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The […]

David Bakhtiari Questionable For Week 12

Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) remains questionable for the Week 12 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran dealt with the same issue heading into the Week 11 matchup against Tennessee but managed to suit up. He also practiced in full on Friday, so it would be surprising if he wasn't available […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Expected To Play Until Late December

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) isn't expected to play before the end of December, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The wideout has several visits with teams on the horizon, specifically with the Giants, Bills, and Cowboys. While many fantasy managers have already stashed Beckham on their roster, he realistically may not be […]

Ja'Marr Chase Officially Out On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip, shoulder) won't play on Sunday against the Titans. The wideout had been riding a questionable tag heading into Week 12 after missing time because of a hairline fracture in his hip and a torn labrum. However, Chase isn't ready to return, although the team remains hopeful he will […]

Deebo Samuel Dealing With "Different" Hamstring Issue

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Saints. The wideout didn't play in the Week 8 win over the Rams because of a hamstring injury, leading most to assume he's still dealing with the lingering effects. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan provided an update, reporting that […]

Anthony Davis Posts Double-Double On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis finished with a game-high 25 points during the win over the Spurs. LeBron James (groin) returned from a five-game absence. However, Davis wasn't messing around on Friday, as he went 10-for-13 from the field while adding 15 rebounds, three blocks, and a steal. The 29-year-old was once again listed […]

LeBron James Logs 33 Minutes In Return

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) logged 33 minutes in Friday's win over San Antonio. James missed his previous five games with a strained groin. However, he looked decent in his return, finishing the night with 21 points off 8-for-17 shooting from the field while adding eight boards, five assists, three steals, and a […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Injures Right Knee On Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (knee) was injured late in the loss to Phoenix. Torrey Craig stepped on Bogdanovic's foot in the fourth quarter, causing the veteran to twist his knee. He hit the floor in obvious pain and walked off the court with a noticeable limp. Fortunately, he reported postgame that the injury wasn't […]

Jaden Ivey Dealing With Knee Soreness

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) didn't play in Friday's loss to the Suns. The rookie is currently plagued by right knee soreness, so his status for Sunday's showdown against Cleveland is up in the air. With Cade Cunningham (shin) out for the foreseeable future, the Pistons may be shorthanded versus the Cavs if Ivey […]

Jarrett Allen Exited Friday's Game Against Milwaukee

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (hip) exited Friday's game against Milwaukee with a right hip injury. He didn't return. The 24-year-old has already missed time this year due to injury, and it's likely he may sit out some more moving ahead because of his latest ailment. If that's the case, Evan Mobley will likely slide […]

Gordon Hayward Out Indefinitely

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) is out indefinitely due to a fracture in his left shoulder. He missed Friday's game against Minnesota with what was believed to be a contusion. However, the news is much worse, so Hayward will have further examinations to determine his options. The 32-year-old has averaged 16.3 points, 4.4 assists, […]

Pascal Siakam Moving Closer Toward Returning

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam (adductor) is cleared to resume contact and practiced in full on Friday. However, he'll remain out for Saturday's game against Dallas. The 28-year-old has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in nine games. Although it may take Siakam a game or two […]

Dalano Banton Questionable Against Dallas

Toronto Raptors guard Dalano Banton (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's encounter with the visiting Mavericks. With Fred VanVleet (illness) also questionable, Banton should be in line for more work. The 23-year-old has played well this season. However, he's averaged 16.0 points, 2.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks in two starts. If VanVleet remains out, Banton should […]

Fred VanVleet Questionable For Saturday's Meeting With Mavs

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 28-year-old didn't play on Wednesday versus Brooklyn due to a non-COVID-related illness, and neither did Dalano Banton (ankle). As a result, Malachi Flynn got the start but finished with only eight points on a rough 3-for-12 shooting effort. […]

Scottie Barnes Out On Saturday Versus The Mavs

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) will miss his second straight game on Saturday versus the Mavericks. Pascal Siakam (adductor) is also out, while Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable. As a result, Gary Trent Jr., Malachi Flynn, and OG Anunoby may remain the primary contributors on the scoring end against Dallas.

Maxi Kleber Expected To Play Against The Raptors

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting in Toronto. The 30-year-old has averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 24 minutes per game this season. As a result, Kleber's return won't send shockwaves through the Mavs' rotation, although Dwight Powell and Christian Wood may see fewer minutes. However, […]

Tyler Boyd Looking To Rebound Against Tennessee

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd had a horrendous showing against the Steelers in Week 11. He finished with only two catches for 42 yards, leaving many fantasy managers disappointed. On a positive note, the wideout was targeted seven times in that one, so it was evident Joe Burrow was looking to get him involved. […]

Tee Higgins Looks To Build Off Solid Week 11 Showing

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins exploded during the Week 11 win over the AFC North rival Steelers, finishing with a game-high 148 yards off nine catches. Although the wideout didn't find the end zone, fantasy managers were thrilled with the performance, primarily since he hadn't surpassed the 100-yard receiving mark since Week 4. With […]

Samaje Perine Has Massive Upside In Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine had four catches for 52 yards and three touchdowns in Week 11 versus the Steelers. While he had trouble making noise on the run, his receiving prowess was still beneficial for the small number of fantasy managers who had him in the lineup. With Joe Mixon (concussion) out for […]

Joe Burrow Aiming To Keep Cincy In Wild-Card Hunt

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow aims to keep his team in the playoff hunt in Week 12. Despite throwing two picks in Cincy's previous matchup against the Steelers, the signal-caller still amassed 355 yards and four touchdowns. With a win in the books, Burrow will look to keep things moving in the right direction versus […]

Heat Bringing Back Dru Smith

Free-agent guard Dru Smith has agreed to a two-way contract with Miami. The 24-year-old made one appearance for the Heat in October before being waived, logging six minutes and finishing with two points and a steal versus Portland. With the Heat dealing with an abundance of injuries versus Washington, Smith will be available on Friday, […]

Bam Adebayo Cleared For Action Versus Wizards

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will play against Washington on Friday. Adebayo was questionable heading into this one because of a left knee bruise. However, it's a good thing he's available, as Miami will at least be without Jimmy Butler (knee), Duncan Robinson (ankle), Max Strus (shoulder). Tyler Herro (ankle) remains questionable. Yet, if […]
