Giannis Antetokounmpo Won't Play Versus The Bulls

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Bulls. Giannis is in the MVP conversation this season, averaging a career-high 32.7 points with 11.6 boards, 6.0 assists, and 1.5 blocks. However, he's missed the last three games. Without question, fantasy managers are hoping Antetokounmpo can get back on the floor on […]

Damian Lillard Will Return On Saturday Night

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf, illness) will return from a four-game absence for Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 34-year-old has played well this season, averaging 25.7 points, 7.5 assists, and 37.1% shooting from behind the arc. But with Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) sidelined, Lillard could be even more productive, giving him added value […]

Ayo Dosunmu Out At Least 10 Days

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) will miss time after suffering a calf strain in the December 23 matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll be re-evaluated in 10 days. Dosunmu is having the best season of his career, averaging 12.6 points and 4.8 assists. Without him, the team will look to Talen Horton-Tucker and Dalen […]

Jalen Brunson To Warm Up On Saturday Night

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) remains questionable for Saturday's game in Washington. He has a sore calf. However, the former Maverick will warm up, with a decision to be made shortly after regarding his availability. If Brunson is not on the floor, Cameron Payne and Miles McBride could be in line for added […]

Mark Williams Available Versus Oklahoma City

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) will play versus OKC on Saturday night. The 23-year-old missed the start of the 2024-25 campaign due to a sore foot. But he's played well enough since returning, averaging 11.0 points and 6.3 assists. Williams might be even more productive with LaMelo Ball (wrist, ankle), Cody Martin (knee), and […]

Brandon Miller Won't Face OKC

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Thunder. The 22-year-old missed the three games leading up to Thursday's clash with the Washington Wizards. While Miller was back on the floor for that one, finishing with 18 points and nine assists, he'll now miss another game. With LaMelo Ball (wrist, ankle) […]

LaMelo Ball Ruled Out On Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) won't play on Saturday against OKC. Melo has averaged a career-high 30.1 points during the 2024-25 campaign. However, as is the norm, Ball will miss another game. With Brandon Miller (ankle) and Cody Martin (knee) also out, Miles Bridges has a good chance to lead the Hornets in […]

Bruce Brown Questionable For Sunday

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran began last season with the Pacers before being traded to the Raptors ahead of the deadline. He wasn't productive in Toronto in 2023-24, averaging only 9.6 points. If Brown is back, it will be his first […]

Jalen Brunson Uncertain For Saturday Night

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The former Maverick has seen a dip in production this season. However, he's still having an All-Star-caliber year, averaging 24.5 points, 7.7 assists, and 41.8% shooting from behind the arc. Brunson is one of the most durable players in […]

P.J. Washington Out On Saturday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington will miss Saturday's meeting with the Trail Blazers. Fortunately, he isn't injured. However, he was involved in a physical altercation in Friday's game against Phoenix, resulting in Washington, forward Naji Marshall, and Suns center Jusuf Nurkic all getting ejected and suspended. With Marshall only sidelined for only one game, the […]

Naji Marshall To Miss Four Games Due To Suspension

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall has been suspended four games without pay, the league announced on Saturday. Marshall, along with P.J. Washington, was involved in a physical altercation with Suns center Jusuf Nurkic during Friday's meeting between the clubs, resulting in all three players getting ejected. The Mavs are down Luka Doncic (calf) for at […]

Jusuf Nurkic Suspended Three Games

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic will miss the next three games due to suspension, the league announced on Saturday. The veteran was involved in a physical altercation with Mavericks forwards Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington on Friday night, resulting in all three getting ejected. The Suns have been without Devin Booker (groin), so losing another […]

Onyeka Okongwu Still Out On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (knee) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He'll now miss his fifth consecutive contest because of left knee inflammation, so it's anyone's guess when he will be healthy enough to return. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) and Dyson Daniels (illness) also sidelined, the Hawks will need to go […]

Dyson Daniels Sick On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Heat. The 21-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 13.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.1 steals. Hopefully, the illness he's dealing with won't keep him off the floor moving ahead. However, with Onyeka Okongwu (knee) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) also […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Ruled Out Versus Miami

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) won't play in Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran has already missed 17 games this season, including the Hawks' previous two contests because of left lower leg contusion. Not only has he been plagued by various injuries this season, he's also averaging a career-low 11.3 points. But […]

Trae Young Will Play On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (heel) will play on Saturday versus Miami. Young has been plagued by various ailments during the season. However, he's only missed two games. The 26-year-old is averaging 22.0 points during the 2024-25 campaign, the second-worst mark of his career. Fortunately, he has averaged a career-high 12.1 assists. As such, Young […]

Drake Maye Questionable To Return On Saturday

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (head) is questionable to return to Saturday's clash with the Los Angeles Chargers. The signal-caller didn't last long before taking a hard shot, completing his only pass attempt for one yard. With the Patriots not going anywhere near the postseason, it may not make sense for Maye to return, […]

Week 17 FanDuel NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2024): Jayden Daniels, Brock Bowers, Bucky Irving, Brian Thomas Jr.

With three games already in the books, three more contests will be played on Saturday in Week 17. As is the norm at this point of the season, more than a few players won’t be available for one reason or another. However, their absences will at least provide some valuable opportunities for DFS participants.   […]

Aidan O'Connell Not A Good Choice For Fantasy Lineups In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell led his team to their third win of the 2024-25 campaign by defeating the Jaguars in Week 16. However, it still wasn't the best fantasy showing, with the 26-year-old throwing for 257 yards while not finding any of his receivers in the end zone. With the Saints on tap […]

Daniel Bellinger Still Not Worth Starting Versus The Colts

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger hasn't had a great year. He's appeared in 15 games, catching only 12 passes for 116 yards. The 24-year-old also hasn't found the end zone since his rookie campaign. With Malik Nabers (toe) questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, there's a good could be a few extra […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Could See More Action In Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has already had the best season of his career. He's appeared in 15 games, catching 78 passes for 585 yards and two touchdowns. While the wideout has improved, he still hasn't been a productive fantasy option. However, with Malik Nabers (toe) questionable, Robinson may be in line for […]

Darius Slayton May Be Worth Starting In Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has had a down year. In 14 appearances, he has 38 catches for 541 yards and one touchdown. However, with Malik Nabers (toe) questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Colts, there's a good chance Slayton could get more involved. Nabers missed two games this season back in October. […]

Devin Singletary Not A Safe Bet Versus The Colts

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary began the year as the team's No. 1 option out of the backfield. However, as the season progressed, he found himself behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle). With Tracy moving in the right direction, at least it seems, for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, there may not be enough […]

Tim Patrick Not An Ideal Fantasy Option In Week 17

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick spent his entire career in Denver before injuries led him to his current team. While he was more productive with the Broncos, he has still played better than expected with the Lions. The 31-year-old has appeared in 14 games during the 2024-25 campaign, totaling 31 catches for 379 yards. […]

Dillon Brooks Sidelined Again On Friday Night

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his third-consecutive absence. The 28-year-old has had a decent season, averaging 13.6 points. However, his abilities on the defensive end are what Houston have missed the most. With Tari Eason (leg) questionable, the team could look to Cam Whitmore […]

Kristaps Porzingis Out Versus Indiana

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) won't suit up on Friday versus the Pacers. The veteran tweaked his ankle in the Christmas Day loss to the 76ers. He stayed in the game for a while after it happened, so there's a good chance the team is being overly cautious. In the meantime, Al Horford will […]

Jrue Holiday Out Against The Pacers

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will remain out on Friday against the Pacers. The 34-year-old is battling right shoulder impingement, although it's unknown how severe it is. With Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) also sidelined versus Indiana, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White could each receive a few more scoring opportunities. Sam Hauser, averaging 16.5 […]

Stephen Curry Resting On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (rest) won't play against the Clippers on Friday. The veteran is coming off a stellar Christmas Day performance against LeBron James and the Lakers, finishing with a game-high 38 points while shooting 8-for-15 from behind the arc. He'll likely be back on the floor on Saturday versus the Phoenix […]

Jrue Holiday Could Miss Another Game

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers. The veteran has a right shoulder injury, which kept him off the floor for the Christmas Day loss to the 76ers. Al Horford moved into the starting lineup, finishing with 17 points and shooting 5-for-10 from behind the arc. With Kristaps […]

Kristaps Porzingis Uncertain For Friday Night

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is considered questionable for Friday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The veteran tweaked his ankle in the Christmas Day loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, ending his day after only 13 minutes of work. As a result, Luke Kornet got more action than normal and finished with six points and […]
