Unfortunately, he has averaged 10.0 points and shooting a career-low 32.7 points this season, so his expected availability for the Christmas meeting with Philly won't mean much for many fantasy […]

In all fairness, the Steelers defense had one of its best games of […]

Andrew Wiggins Might Miss Another Game

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.

As a result, Trayce Jackson-Davis got more work, logging 25 minutes, and finished with 15 rebounds, 10 points, and one […]

Mark Williams Still Out On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) remains out for Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets. The 22-year-old has missed his last six games (and seven of his previous eight) because of a low back contusion, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be back on the floor. As a result, Nick Richards will remain in the starting […]

Zion Williamson Will Play On Saturday Evening

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) will play on Saturday night against the Houston Rockets. Williamson was listed as questionable because of a non-COVID-related illness, but he's good to go. The oft-injured 23-year-old has averaged a career-low 22 points throughout the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's a must-start for fantasy purposes.

The reigning MVP tweaked his right ankle during Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors, although he still finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks, and two steals. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Christmas versus the Miami Heat. But if Embiid […]
