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 […]

Drew Eubanks Out Against New York

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (back) is out against New York due to back spasms. With Jusuf Nurkic healthy and in the lineup, Eubanks likely wouldn't have received enough action to keep him relevant in any format. That said, Trendon Watford, who has averaged only 4.9 points in 2022-23, will see more minutes. While […]

Derrick Rose Sitting Again On Friday Evening

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (foot) won't play against Portland. The veteran will miss his second consecutive game on Friday night while dealing with a sore right foot (and a sore right toe). Cam Reddish (groin) is also out, so Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley should provide value for managers in all formats.

Max Strus Not Available Against The Wizards

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) won't play against Washington. Strus has played well this season, averaging 15.3 points in 34.1 minutes per game this season. However, he'll join Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines, so Caleb Martin (illness) and Tyler Herro (ankle) could benefit from a production standpoint. Yet, if […]

Duncan Robinson Absent Against Washington

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't suit up against the Wizards, marking his second straight absence because of a sprained left ankle. The 28-year-old has averaged only 8.3 points in 17.6 minutes per game this season. However, with so many of Miami's players on the injury report ahead of Friday's game, including Jimmy Butler […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again On Friday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) won't be available on Friday against Philadelphia. The 23-year-old has been burdened by a right plantar fascia strain, with the injury limiting him to only one appearance in the last four games. Mo Bamba, who had 15 points in Wednesday's loss to Indiana, should continue to replace Carter […]

Gordon Hayward Out Against Minnesota

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) won't suit up on Friday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder contusion. As a result, Jalen McDaniels will replace him in the lineup. The 24-year-old has averaged 9.1 points this season. However, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, McDaniels could be more productive.

LaMelo Ball Remains Out Against Minnesota

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out ahead of Friday's meeting with Minnesota. The 21-year-old has dealt with a sprained ankle for most of the year, so fantasy managers hope he's nearing a return. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, Terry Rozier will handle the point guard duties while receiving a boost in […]

Rudy Gobert Will Suit Up Versus Charlotte

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will play on Friday in Charlotte. The defensive specialist had been questionable heading into this one due to a sprained ankle. However, it seemingly wasn't too severe, so he should see his usual workload. That said, the Hornets have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing centers […]

Jordan McLaughlin Out Again On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Friday against Charlotte, marking his second-straight absence. Austin Rivers received some extra work on Wednesday versus Indiana. However, Rivers only scored six points in 20 minutes, so he's not likely to provide any value on the fantasy end.

Jimmy Butler Expected Back During Road Trip

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected back for the team's upcoming contests in Boston, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The 33-year-old has already missed the previous four games because of right knee soreness, so he'll sit out a few more before he's finally ready to return. In the meantime, […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 12 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Isiah Pacheco, Kenneth Walker III, Jeff Wilson Jr., Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins

Week 12 began with a three-game Thanksgiving showdown, although the day didn't go exactly as planned for many DFS participants. While most had expected the Bills to take down the Lions easily, Detroit kept things close for the entire contest. In the end, Buffalo managed to squeak out a victory courtesy of a Tyler Bass field […]

Tyler Herro Plans To Play Versus Washington

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) plans to play against Washington, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He's missed the last eight games due to a sprained left ankle, although it's unknown if he'll be limited. That said, Herro has averaged 19.6 points while shooting 37.5% from deep this season, so he […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Playing On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Denver. The 20-year-old didn't play against the Knicks on Monday because of a sprained left ankle, but it appears as if the injury isn't as bad as initially believed. Pokusevski has averaged 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks this season, […]
