Draymond Green To Be Evaluated Again On Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (ankle) has recently participated in individual workouts. The 33-year-old, who agreed to a four-year, $100 million deal this past offseason to remain in Golden State, isn't the player he once was. He averaged 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 73 games last season, his most […]

Khris Middleton Happy To Embrace New Role

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is ready to step aside and allow Damian Lillard to remain a top-scoring threat for the team this season. Lillard is undoubtedly one of the best offensive producers in the National Basketball Association, so Middleton was already expected to see fewer chances on the scoring end. However, now that […]

Jonathan Kuminga Getting Praise For Recent Play

According to C.J. Holmes of The San Francisco Chronicle, the Golden State Warriors are pleased with the play of forward Jonathan Kuminga during the preseason thus far.

Naji Marshall Out At Least A Few Weeks

According to a press release by the team, New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (knee) underwent an MRI after exiting Saturday night's preseason matchup against Atlanta.

Clippers Not Looking To Add More For James Harden

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Enquirer, the Clippers haven't budged on sweetening the trade package proposed for 76ers guard James Harden.

However, outside of some picks and expiring contracts, Los Angeles doesn't appear willing to add anyone else, including the highly-coveted Terance Mann. With the […]

Andrew Wiggins Has High Expectations For Year Ahead

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins aspires to do big things this season. "I would love to be an All-Star," Wiggins declared during a recent interview.

Zion Williamson Scores 16 Points In Preseason Loss

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson scored 16 points in Saturday's preseason loss to Atlanta. He added five assists and two boards, although he turned the ball over three times.

Dennis Smith Jr. To Miss "At Least A Week"

According to Brooklyn Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn, guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will be sidelined for "at least a week."

Cameron Johnson Might Miss Remainder Of The Preseason

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hamstring) could miss the remainder of the preseason. He continues to battle a hamstring issue, with head coach Jacque Vaughn indicating he plans to be "extremely cautious" with the former Sun. Johnson appeared in 25 games for Brooklyn last season after being acquired from Phoenix as part of the Kevin […]

Anyone who faced Ja'Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill, or DJ Moore in Week 5 is likely coming off a loss. While all three are talented wideouts, it's safe to say they all exceeded expectations in a big way. Unfortunately, significant performances weren't the only things happening in Week 5, as several teams will be without their […]

LeBron James Logs 18 Minutes On Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James had 12 points in the exhibition loss to Golden State on Friday night. He added five assists and two boards. The 38-year-old has been active during the preseason, a terrific sign, considering he missed time last season due to a foot injury. Even at his advanced NBA age, James […]

Anthony Davis Has Another Productive Preseason Showing

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis scored 13 points in Friday's loss to the Warriors. He added six rebounds, four assists, and a steal. The 30-year-old went 3-for-8 from the field in this one. However, outside of that, he has played well during his three preseason appearances. Davis is coming off a terrific 2022-23 campaign, […]

Stephen Curry Scores 18 Points In Preseason Loss

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry finished with 18 points in the preseason victory over the Lakers on Friday night. The multi-time All-Star looked good in this one, going 5-for-8 from the field and 2-for-4 from deep.

Trenton Irwin A Potential Flex Play On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin looked good in the Week 5 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. With Tee Higgins (ribs) sidelined for that one, most had assumed Tyler Boyd would get Ja'Marr Chase's leftovers. But that's not what happened, as Irwin finished as the second-best wideout on the team by catching eight of his […]

Tyler Boyd Not An Ideal Fantasy Option In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd entered the Week 5 meeting with Arizona as the No. 2 option on the depth chart. Tee Higgins (ribs) didn't play, so Boyd had a chance to benefit from an increase in attention from Joe Burrow. While Ja'Marr Chase thrived, the former Pittsburgh Panther had just 39 yards off […]

Ja'Marr Chase A Top Option In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase didn't score a touchdown through the first four games of the year. Without question, Joe Burrow's disappointing play during that span negatively impacted his former collegiate teammate. In all fairness, the 23-year-old wasn't terrible. However, fantasy managers were hoping for more. But Chase finally got back on track in […]

Joe Mixon Just A Flex Option In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't had a terrible season through five weeks. On the other hand, the former Oklahoma Sooner has been far from impressive. He's carried the ball 84 times, amassing 328 yards for a subpar 3.9 yards per carry. Even worse, Mixon has just one touchdown and hasn't surpassed the 100-yard […]

Joe Burrow Hopes For Duplicate Outing In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was quiet through the first four weeks of the 2023-24 campaign. During that span, the signal-caller threw two touchdowns, although both occurred in Week 2 against Baltimore. Unquestionably, Burrow's calf injury suffered during training camp limited his production. However, he finally got it together in the Week 5 win over […]

Thomas Bryant Disappears On Friday

Miami Heat center Thomas Bryant scored four points in Friday's loss to the Spurs. He added five rebounds and turned the ball over three times.

The 23-year-old started 65 games last season and averaged 12.9 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.3 steals. Unfortunately, Jones isn't a lock to remain in […]

Devin Vassell Shines On Friday Night

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell played well in Friday's preseason win over Miami. The 2020 No. 11 overall pick logged 22 minutes and finished with 21 points, two points behind Victor Wembanyama, who had a team-high 23. Vassell also had three assists, one steal, and one block. But most impressively, he went 6-for-7 from […]

Victor Wembanyama Has Another Impressive Showing

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama finished with a team-high 23 points in Friday's preseason victory over the Miami Heat. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick was efficient from the field, going 10-for-15, while adding four rebounds and three blocks. Wembanyama has scored at least 20 points in his first two exhibitions, so fantasy managers […]

Aaron Rodgers Sheds Crutches

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was recently observed walking without crutches. The veteran signal-caller tore his Achilles during the Week 1 AFC East meeting with the Buffalo Bills and was expected to miss the season. However, after having a "Speed Bridge" procedure to repair the tear, Rodgers has remained optimistic about returning in […]

Frank Clark Might Return To Kansas City

Free-agent defensive end Frank Clark can sign with a new team as of Saturday. The veteran, who inked a deal with the Broncos this offseason, appeared in just two games for the franchise, totaling two tackles. Without a doubt, his short-lived tenure in Denver wasn't a success. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Clark returning […]

Elijah Mitchell Trending Toward Playing In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) appears on track to return on Sunday against the Browns. He sat out a few games because of a knee injury. But head coach Kyle Shanahan seemed optimistic the 25-year-old would be back by indicating he was a "full-go" in practice on Friday. For now, Mitchell officially […]

Justin Watson Could Return "Sooner Rather Than Later"

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson (elbow) "should be back sooner rather than later" after an MRI revealed "no significant damage."
