Deandre Ayton Out On Saturday Night

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) won't play on Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers. The 24-year-old is under the weather, meaning Bismack Biyombo will take his place in the lineup. Biyombo has averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks in six starts this season. However, he probably won't see much more than 20 […]

Hayden Hurst Not An Ideal Fantasy Option Against the Bills

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst caught four of his six targets for 45 yards in the wild-card victory over Baltimore. The 29-year-old disappointed many fantasy managers throughout the 2022-23 campaign, finishing with 52 catches for 414 yards and two touchdowns. However, his lack of production shouldn't be a surprise to fantasy managers, especially with […]

Tyler Boyd An Unpredictable Fantasy Option On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd had a miserable showing during the wild-card win over Baltimore, finishing with only three catches for 26 yards. The 29-year-old ended the regular season with only 762 yards, his lowest total since the 2017-2018 campaign. However, he found the end zone five times, tying his mark from last year. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable Against the Cavs

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's missed the last four games, allowing Bobby Portis to enter the starting lineup. Portis has played well this season as a starter or off the bench, so he'll continue to be a viable fantasy option if Antetokounmpo plays. However, […]

Gordon Hayward Expected To Play Against Atlanta

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting in Atlanta. The veteran missed the last eight games with hamstring soreness, so he may not log his usual workload. However, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) likely out for this one, Hayward could see a substantial bump in fantasy production.

LaMelo Ball Doubtful Against The Hawks

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Hawks. The 21-year-old injured his left ankle during Wednesday's showdown with the Houston Rockets, requiring assistance to the locker room. Ball has already missed 24 games this season for the same ailment, so he may be out for an extended period. […]

Jayson Tatum Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (wrist) is out for Saturday's meeting against the Raptors. Tatum had a big game during the overtime win over Golden State on Thursday, finishing with 34 points and 19 rebounds. He also played 48 minutes, so his absence is likely for a much-needed night off. Fantasy managers may see Tatum […]

Tee Higgins Remains Top Fantasy Option Versus Buffalo

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins entered Week 18 against Baltimore by scoring a touchdown in four consecutive games. However, he cooled off in the regular season finale, catching just one of his seven targets for seven yards. The 24-year-old didn't play much better the following week in the rematch with the Ravens, bringing in […]

Joe Mixon Remains A Volatile Option Versus Buffalo

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had another underwhelming performance in the wild-card win over the Ravens. He finished that one with only 39 yards off 11 attempts while adding three receptions for 17 yards. However, considering Mixon's struggles on the ground this season, his lack of production against Baltimore wasn't a surprise. With a […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looks To Stay Hot On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been on a roll. The 22-year-old has drawn double-digit targets in each of his last five games while finding the end zone four times during that span. Despite the tough matchup ahead against the Buffalo Bills, Chase should continue to get more than enough attention from Joe Burrow, […]

Joe Burrow Aims To Bring Cincy Back To AFC Title Game

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will look to lead his squad to a second straight AFC Championship appearance. However, Burrow and company will first need to get through Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The signal-caller didn't offer much on the fantasy end over the last two weeks during consecutive meetings with the […]

LaMelo Ball Considered Day-To-Day

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is considered day-to-day. He injured his left ankle during Wednesday's meeting with the Rockets, requiring assistance to the locker room. The 21-year-old has missed 24 games in total throughout the 2022-23 campaign after tweaking the ankle on two separate occasions. Charlotte doesn't play again until Saturday night versus the […]

Christian Wood To Be Re-evaluated Next Week

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Christian Wood (thumb) suffered a fractured left thumb during Wednesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He is expected to miss some time but will be reevaluated next week. The 27-year-old has played well this season, averaging 18.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks while shooting an efficient 38.5% from deep. Fortunately, the […]

Kenyan Drake Inactive Against Cincinnati

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake is inactive ahead of Sunday's wild-card showdown against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins didn't suit up in Week 18 for the first of consecutive meetings with Cincinnati, allowing Drake to finish with 60 yards and a touchdown off 16 carries. However, with Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill good to […]

Sean Payton To Interview With Carolina

The Panthers have received permission to interview former Saints head coach Sean Payton. The list continues to grow, with Denver, Houston, and Arizona already inquiring about Payton's services. Of course, New Orleans will look for compensation from any club that eventually lands the Super Bowl-winning coach, with the price tag rumored to be at least […]

Aaron Donald Considering Retirement?

Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald has reportedly considered retiring from the National Football League this offseason. While there hasn't been an official update on Donald's plans, many began to speculate after the veteran changed his Twitter bio to "former NFL D Linemen for the Rams #99." However, he has since removed the update […]

Zach LaVine Probable Against Golden State

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (hand) is expected to play against the Warriors. The 27-year-old carried the same designation heading into Friday's meeting with OKC, so barring a setback, he should be out there on Sunday. LaVine has been on a roll, scoring 36 or more points in three of his last five games. He […]

DeMar DeRozan Questionable On Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with Golden State. The 33-year-old has missed his last two games with a right quad strain. However, he appears to be moving in the right direction. If DeRozan can't suit up, Patrick Williams, who had 19 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Doubtful On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) isn't expected to play against the Rockets. The 33-year-old is dealing with a left knee contusion, so he'll likely join Paul George (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (calf) on the sidelines. John Wall (abdomen) isn't anticipated to play either, meaning Terance Mann, Norman Powell, Nicolas Batum, and Robert […]

John Wall Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is not expected to play against the Houston Rockets. The veteran logged 29 minutes on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. However, he's now dealing with abdominal soreness, so he's on track to join Luke Kennard (calf) and Paul George (hamstring) on […]

Luke Kennard Out Again Versus Houston

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) won't play against the Rockets, marking his fourth straight absence. Paul George (hamstring) will also miss this one, so Kennard won't be available on Sunday for a potential spot start. Instead, Terance Mann, who's averaged 11.6 points, 4.7 boards, and 2.4 assists while shooting 39.6% from deep in […]

Paul George Sitting Again On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets. The veteran is battling hamstring soreness, so he'll miss his fifth consecutive game. Luke Kennard (calf) also won't suit up, meaning Terance Mann would remain with the first five. The 26-year-old has averaged 11.6 points and 4.7 rebounds […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Unlikely To Play Against The Clippers

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) is doubtful ahead of the meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 22-year-old is on track to miss his second consecutive game because of a foot contusion, which should keep Kenyon Martin Jr. in the starting lineup. Martin has averaged 12.6 points and 5.8 boards in nine starts […]

Isaiah Stewart Expected To Return Against New York

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Knicks. Detroit has been shorthanded underneath the rim, with Stewart missing the previous three games while Jalen Duren (ankle) has sat out the last four. However, with Duren out again on Sunday, Stewart will likely slide over to the five spot. […]

Jalen Duren Remains Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play against the Knicks. The rookie is currently nursing right ankle soreness, so he'll miss his fifth consecutive outing on Sunday. Fortunately, Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is probable and will likely take Duren's spot at the five. At the same time, Nerlens Noel, who had been starting, would presumably […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Uncertain For Sunday's Game

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (non-COVID-illness) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Knicks. The veteran recently scored 22 points in Friday's loss to New Orleans. However, he went 1-for-7 from deep. If Bogdanovic doesn't suit up versus New York, Saddiq Bey would be the favorite to lead the way on the scoring end. […]

Derrick White Suffers Neck Injury On Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) was injured during the win over the Charlotte Hornets. The former Spur logged only four minutes before suffering a neck strain resulting from a collision with Marcus Smart. It's certainly possible White may miss some games because of the ailment, which wouldn't be ideal considering the C's have also […]

Rudy Gobert Exits Win Over Cavs With Groin Soreness

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) didn't return to Saturday's win over Cleveland because of right groin soreness. He finished the game with only six points, four rebounds, and one steal in 13 minutes of action. It's possible Gobert could miss time, beginning with Monday's matchup against his former team, the Utah Jazz. Karl-Anthony Towns […]
