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, […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Will Suit Up Against Boston

Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's meeting with Boston after riding a questionable tag because of left shoulder soreness. The 29-year-old has averaged 17.1 points and 5.1 assists while shooting an efficient 40.7% from deep in 2022-23, so he's certainly been productive. Without any indication of a minutes cap versus the […]

Justise Winslow Starting Against Cleveland

Portland Trail Blazers guard Justise Winslow will start on Wednesday versus Cleveland. Shaedon Sharpe replaced Damian Lillard (calf) during Monday's meeting in Milwaukee. However, after Sharpe scored two points in 26 minutes in that one, head coach Chauncey Billups will make the swap. Winslow has averaged 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in four […]

Jayson Tatum Will Play Against Dallas

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play on Wednesday against Dallas. The 24-year-old was listed on the injury report because of a sprained left ankle, although it's not severe enough to keep him out of the lineup. With ESPN's Tim Bontemps also reporting Tatum won't have a minutes restriction, fantasy managers can safely insert […]

Dean Wade Returning Versus Portland

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) will return on Wednesday against Portland after missing his previous six games due to knee soreness. With Caris LeVert (ankle) and Kevin Love (thumb) out, extra minutes will be up for grabs. However, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, Wade won't see a full workload, so fantasy managers should […]

Jordan McLaughlin Sidelined On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the Pacers due to a left calf strain. The update came from head coach Chris Finch, who may now lean on Austin Rivers or Bryn Forbes to replace McLaughlin from off the bench. However, neither man likely won't see enough action to justify adding […]

Mike Conley Out Again Versus Detroit

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is out against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 35-year-old strained the Popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he picked up during Saturday's meeting in Portland. As a result, Collin Sexton, who had 10 points in 28 minutes against the Trail Blazers, may remain in the starting lineup […]

Paul George Remains Out Versus Golden State

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (hamstring) won't play against the Warriors on Wednesday. George will miss his second consecutive game because of a strained hamstring (and right knee soreness) after getting injured during the meeting with the Spurs. Kawhi Leonard (ankle) won't be available either, so Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell, who combined for […]

Kawhi Leonard Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out on Wednesday against the Warriors due to a sprained right ankle. Joining Leonard on the shelf are Paul George (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (calf), so L.A. will be without its primary scoring options. As a result, Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell, who combined for 57 points […]

Jayson Tatum Questionable Against The Mavs

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable against the Mavericks on Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. Samuel Hauser may replace Tatum in the lineup. However, Joe Mazzulla could shuffle around some of his players to get Malcolm Brogdon or Derrick White into the starting unit. That said, all three of those guys […]

Dalano Banton Questionable For Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Dalano Banton (illness) is questionable against the Nets. Banton didn't suit up for Saturday's meeting with Atlanta due to a sprained ankle. However, he's now burdened by a non-COVID-related sickness, jeopardizing his availability. With Pascal Siakam (adductor), Precious Achiuwa (foot), Scottie Barnes (knee), and Otto Porter Jr. (toe) on the injury report, […]

Scottie Barnes Dealing With A Left Knee Sprain

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is questionable heading into Wednesday's meeting with Brooklyn. Barnes has a sprained left knee, so if he can't play, he'll join Precious Achiuwa (ankle), Pascal Siakam (adductor), and Otto Porter Jr. (toe) on the shelf. As a result, OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet may be the featured options on […]

Josh Hart Probable On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (ankle) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Cleveland. The 27-year-old has a sprained left ankle. However, it's not expected to keep him out for this one. Hart has averaged 9.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. Yet, with Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Hart should […]

Damian Lillard Won't Play On Wednesday, As Expected

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't play on Wednesday against Cleveland. The veteran re-strained his right calf during the meeting with Utah and is expected to be out for up to two weeks. Lillard has averaged 26.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season, so replacing him will be nearly impossible. However, […]

Dean Wade Likely To Return On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) is expected to return on Wednesday against Portland after missing the last six games with a sore right knee. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.3 points while shooting 50% from deep in 22.8 minutes per game this season. However, with Caris LeVert (ankle) out and Kevin Love (thumb) questionable, Wade […]

Kevin Love Questionable Against Portland

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (thumb) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Portland. The veteran has a hairline fracture in his right thumb, an injury he picked up on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Love logged only 12 minutes on Sunday night against Atlanta, so he may not see much work even if he […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (ankle) is out for Wednesday's meeting with Portland. This will mark LeVert's second straight absence due to a sprained left ankle. Without him, Cedi Osman, who had 23 points on Sunday versus Atlanta, should consume most of the minutes. Fantasy managers should certainly look in Osman's direction, especially if Kevin […]

Andrew Nembhard Questionable Against Minnesota

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) is questionable ahead of the meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 8.7 points and 1.3 steals in six appearances in the starting lineup. Nembhard didn't play on Monday because of a bruised left knee, allowing Aaron Nesmith to replace him in the […]

Chris Paul Remains Out With Heel Soreness

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) is out ahead of Tuesday's meeting with the Lakers. The 37-year-old injured his right heel during the November 7 meeting with Philadelphia and has missed his last six games due to soreness. Cameron Payne, who has averaged 20.2 points, 6.3 assists, and shot 45.5% from deep in six starts […]

Ish Smith Questionable Against On Tuesday Evening

Denver Nuggets guard Ish Smith (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Pistons. The 34-year-old journeyman has missed his previous nine games with right calf tightness, so it wouldn't be surprising if he misses another one. With Jamal Murray doubtful due to health and safety protocols, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who has averaged 12.1 points off […]

Jeff Green Sidelined Versus Visiting Pistons

Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (knee) won't play on Tuesday against Detroit. He suffered a right knee contusion in Sunday's meeting with Dallas, ending his night after only five minutes of work. With Aaron Gordon (illness) questionable and Nikola Jokic doubtful due to health and safety protocols, Denver may be shorthanded underneath the basket. As […]

Yuta Watanabe Out Against Philly

Brooklyn Nets forward Yuta Watanabe (hamstring) won't play against the 76ers. The former Raptor has been fantastic recently, averaging 15 points and shooting 66% from deep in the last three games. However, he has a tight hamstring, so Markieff Morris, who had eight points, seven rebounds, and a steal against Memphis on Sunday, may be […]

Ben Simmons Starting Against Former Team

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Ben Simmons will start on Tuesday in Philadelphia. Nicolas Claxton (illness) will return after missing Sunday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. However, with Simmons coming off a season-high 22-point effort in that one, he will remain in the starting lineup against his former team. The 26-year-old is seemingly returning to form, scoring […]

Keenan Allen Intends To Play On Sunday Night

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) stated he intends to play on Sunday night against the Chiefs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The wideout has appeared in only two games this season due to a nagging hamstring ailment, which has also caused Justin Herbert to struggle. With that said, Allen's official designation may […]

Mark Andrews Expected To Play Against Carolina

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) is likely to play versus Carolina, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Andrews didn't suit up for the Week 9 meeting with the Saints and didn't play well in the previous two games leading up to that one. However, as expected, the 27-year-old remains a top […]

Paul George Exits Saturday's Meeting With The Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (knee) didn't return to Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. The 32-year-old scored 21 points in just 15 minutes, draining five of his eight tries from deep. It's another unfortunate development for the Clippers, who have seen Kawhi Leonard ramp up his workload as of late. However, there's a chance […]
