Mike McDaniel Agrees To Become Dolphins Head Coach

San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has agreed to be the new head coach of the Dolphins. The 38-year-old spent the last five seasons with the Niners, serving as the run game coordinator before spending his final year in his most recent position. He will certainly have his work cut out for him as […]

Lauri Markkanen To Miss Another Game On Sunday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) won't play against the Indiana Pacers. Markkanen has missed his previous six games because of a sprained right ankle. His next chance to return will come on Wednesday versus San Antion, and with Darius Garland (back) also out, Evan Mobley, Kevin Love, and Jarrett Allen are the favorites to […]

Darius Garland Won't Play Versus Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) isn't available on Sunday against Indiana, marking his fourth consecutive absence. Garland continues to be sidelined by lower back soreness, although it's unknown how severe the issue is. Nevertheless, his next chance to make it back will come on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. However, in the meantime, […]

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Out With Achilles Issue

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) won't play against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brogdon continues to deal with right Achilles soreness and missed his previous nine games. He's also appeared in only three games since December 15th, so it doesn't appear he's on track to make it back anytime soon. Nonetheless, without Brogdon, Domantas Sabonis is […]

Goga Bitadze Will Play Versus Cleveland

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) will return on Sunday evening against Cleveland. The 22-year-old missed his last four games because of soreness in his right foot. However, with Domantas Sabonis available after sitting out three games while adhering to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Bitadze's ceiling will be somewhat restricted. As a result, he's […]

Domantas Sabonis To Return On Sunday Night

Indiana Pacers center Domantas Sabonis will return for Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland. Sabonis missed his previous three games while adhering to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. With Caris LeVert getting traded on Sunday to the Cavaliers, the team will undoubtedly welcome the big man back with open arms. He is a must-start in all formats […]

Ricky Rubio On The Move

The Pacers are trading guard Caris LeVert and a 2022 second-round pick (via Miami) to the Cavaliers. In exchange, Cleveland will be sending Ricky Rubio (knee), a 2022 first-round pick (lottery-protected), a 2022 second-round pick (via Houston), and a 2027 second-round pick (via Utah) back to Indiana. After Collin Sexton (knee) was lost for the […]

Caris LeVert Traded To Cavaliers

The Pacers are trading guard Caris LeVert and a 2022 second-round pick (via Miami) to the Cavaliers. In exchange, Cleveland will be sending Ricky Rubio, a 2022 first-round pick (lottery-protected), a 2022 second-round pick (via Houston), and a 2027 second-round pick (via Utah) back to Indiana. The Cavaliers have been red-hot this season, currently holding […]

Furkan Korkmaz Now Playing On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) is now playing on Sunday versus Chicago. Korkmaz sat during the Sixers' previous three games because of left knee soreness and was reportedly in line to miss his fourth straight outing. However, he is now good to go, and with Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) out of the mix, he should […]

Rudy Gobert Returns To Practice

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) returned to practice on Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity. However, it's still good news, primarily since it appears as if the 29-year-old is nearing a return after being sidelined by a left calf strain. Gobert has missed six games already, but there is a chance he could be […]

Maxi Kleber Downgraded To Out

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Hawks. The 30-year-old is currently plagued by fluid in his left knee, and with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) not playing as well. Dwight Powell should get some additional run. Powell had 14 points, five boards, and three steals against the 76ers on Friday, so […]

Bradley Beal To Be Re-Evaluated On Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (wrist) will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, according to head coach Wes Unseld Jr. The veteran has missed his previous three games because of a left wrist sprain and won't be in the lineup on Monday against the Heat either. Nevertheless, with the All-Star break on the horizon, there's a good […]

Furkan Korkmaz Won't Play Against Short-Handed Bulls

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus Chicago. Korkmaz will now miss his fourth straight game as he continues to be sidelined by a sore left knee. Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) remains questionable, but if he can't go either, Danny Green and Isaiah Joe should see a hearty increase in playing […]

Zach LaVine Out Versus Philly

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) won't play during Sunday's matchup against the 76ers. LaVine will now miss his second consecutive contest because of back spasms. With Lonzo Ball (knee), Alex Caruso (wrist), and Derrick Jones Jr. already out as well as Coby White (hip) labeled a game-time decision, the Bulls will undoubtedly be short-handed. […]

D'Angelo Russell Active On Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) will return on Sunday versus the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old missed his previous four games because of a bruised left shin. Fortunately, Russell isn't expected to have a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers can start him with confidence against one of the worst teams in the league.

Paul Millsap Remains Out On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Paul Millsap (personal) won't play on Sunday in Denver, as expected. The veteran remains out while the team looks to move him ahead of the February 10th trade deadline, so it's likely he has already played his final game in Brooklyn. However, with LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) both out, […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Remains Out Versus Denver

Brooklyn Nets forward LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) won't play versus the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. Aldridge injured his left ankle during the first outing of the team's five-game road trip, although head coach Steve Nash remains optimistic he may return before the All-Star break. Nevertheless, Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is also out, so Day'Ron Sharpe, James Johnson, […]

Nicolas Claxton Out With A Hamstring Issue Against Denver

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) isn't available for Sunday's contest versus the Denver Nuggets. Claxton tweaked his left hamstring during Friday's bout in Utah, relegating him to only five minutes of action. With the Nets also down Paul Millsap (personal) and LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle), Day'Ron Sharpe, James Johnson, and Blake Griffin should handle things […]

James Harden Won't Play For Final Game Of Nets Road Trip

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. The former MVP continues to deal with nagging left hamstring tightness, an injury that's caused him problems since last season. He most recently sat out on Friday evening in Utah, and with Brooklyn ending its five-game road trip, his next chance […]

James Wiseman Begins Practicing With Teammates

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) began practicing with his teammates on Saturday. The sophomore hasn't played this season as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. While Wiseman hasn't been cleared for contact, it's a step in the right direction. Nonetheless, it's unknown how much […]

Ivica Zubac Questionable Against The Defending Champs

Los Angeles Lakers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable for Sunday's meeting against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's missed his previous two games with right calf soreness, so if he can't go, Serge Ibaka will likely see an increase in playing time and possibly production. Ibaka had 20 points and eight boards against the Lakers on […]

Maxi Kleber Could Miss Second Consecutive Outing

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) has been labeled as questionable moving toward Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Kleber is currently dealing with fluid in his left knee, an ailment that forced him to miss a game already. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) already ruled out, Dwight Powell, who had 14 points, five rebounds, and […]

Furkan Korkmaz Questionable Ahead Of Meeting With Chicago

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's showdown with the Bulls. Korkmaz has missed his previous three games because of left knee soreness. Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is also questionable, so if neither man can give it a go against Chicago, Danny Green will surely see an uptick in playing time (and […]

Matisse Thybulle Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup in Chicago. He's currently dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, and with Furkan Korkmaz (knee) carrying the same designation, Danny Green and Isaiah Joe may see some more work against the Bulls, although Green should be the preferred fantasy option between the […]

Austin Rivers Expected To Play On Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers (hip) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, although it doesn't appear to be too serious. Nonetheless, Rivers is averaging only 6.4 points this season, so his presence likely won't mean much or impact […]

Isaiah Jackson Out On Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland. Jackson tweaked his right ankle during Wednesday's bout against the Orlando Magic and could miss more time moving forward. Nonetheless, if Domantas Sabonis can return from his stint in health and safety protocols and Goga Bitadze (foot) can make it back from […]

Aaron Gordon To Return On Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is expected to return on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran has missed his previous two games because of left hamstring tightness, allowing Zeke Nnaji to get some additional work. Nnaji has logged at least 29 minutes while Gordon has been away, totaling 16 points, 14 rebounds, and […]

Goga Bitadze Questionable Versus Cleveland

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man has missed his previous four games because of right foot soreness. With Isaiah Jackson (ankle) out and uncertainty surrounding Domantas Sabonis' availability after he's been in health and safety protocols, Terry Taylor could continue to benefit. Taylor […]

Kawhi Leonard Not Expected Back This Season

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) may not play this season, according to head coach Ty Lue. "We know Kawhi is probably not going to come back," Lue said during a recent interview, although certainly, there remains a chance he could make it back, primarily if L.A. can advance deep into the playoffs. However, […]

De'Aaron Fox Out On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Thunder. Fox will now miss his eighth straight game because of left ankle soreness, so Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to handle most of the work out of the backcourt. Both men should be strongly considered for DFS contests as well […]
