John Ross Anticipated To Go Against Carolina

New York Giants wide receiver John Ross (hamstring) is likely to suit up for Sunday's outing against the Panthers.

The former Bengal received an uptick in […]

Dak Prescott Should Be Ready For Week 8

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) has been progressing in the right direction after being injured during the Week 6 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Saquon Barkley Doubtful For Week 8 As Well

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is out for Week 7 versus the Panthers.

With Andre Drummond (ankle) trending in the wrong direction after being […]

Andre Drummond Unlikely To Play Against OKC

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (ankle) is unlikely to be in the lineup against Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Danilo Gallinari Will Be Absent Against The Cavs

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) is out against the Cavaliers on Saturday, marking his second-straight absence.

[…]

Kyle Lowry A Game-Time Call Against Visiting Pacers

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is considered a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers.

He also shot an abysmal 1-for-8 from the floor, and he finished with just five points during […]

Jrue Holiday Available Versus San Antonio

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (heel) is available for Sunday's contest in San Antonio. The veteran sustained a bruised heel during the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets and was held out of action during the blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday.

Terry Rozier Could Miss Sunday's Matchup Against Nets

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's clash against the Nets. Rozier didn't play on opening night because of a sprained right ankle.

Garland sprained his left ankle on opening night, and he subsequently missed Friday's bout against the Hornets as a result.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/23/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It was a fantastic Friday night throughout the association. Kevin Durant, James Harden, and the Nets went into enemy territory and overcame a fourth-quarter deficit, defeating the 76ers at the Wells Fargo Arena. In the end, Durant would go on to finish as arguably the top fantasy option on the slate by amassing a decisive […]

Justin Holiday Tweaks Ankle Against Wizards

Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday (ankle) was injured during Friday's one-point loss to Washington. The 32-year-old veteran tweaked his left ankle, causing him to miss the fourth quarter and overtime.

Mitchell Robinson Injures Hamstring During Win Over Magic

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hamstring) was injured during Friday's 121-96 win over the Orlando Magic.

Nicolas Batum Not Listed On Latest Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (personal) was not listed on the league's official injury report on Friday night.

Kendrick Nunn Expected To Have Stable Role Upon Return

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) may not return for another two or three weeks, according to head coach Frank Vogel.

Kyle Lowry In Danger Of Sitting Against Indiana

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into Saturday's matchup in Indiana.

Danilo Gallinari Questionable On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) is deemed questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran wasn't in the lineup on Wednesday during the season opener against the Mavericks as he continues to be bothered by left shoulder soreness. His absence allowed Solomon Hill to see some additional minutes on the floor, although he […]

Joel Embiid Playing Against Brooklyn

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Friday against the visiting Nets. Embiid continues to deal with right knee soreness after he tore his meniscus during the postseason over the Summer. It's unknown how many minutes Embiid will log, so DFS managers may want to consider other options. However, he remains a must-start […]

Scottie Barnes Getting Another Start On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against Boston. This will mark the rookie's second-straight start. He played relatively well against the Wizards during his league debut, finishing with 12 points and nine boards, one rebound shy of a double-double. He did have six turnovers, which was an issue, […]

Precious Achiuwa Starting Again On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Precious Achiuwa will start during Friday's matchup against the Celtics. Achiuwa was in the starting rotation during the team's opener against the Wizards on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has a "50/50" chance to play during Friday's Atlantic Division clash against the visiting Nets.

Embiid suffered a meniscus tear during the postseason, […]

Darius Garland Won't Play Against Charlotte

Updating an earlier report, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) has been downgraded to out against the Hornets on Friday night.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) remains questionable against the visiting Pacers on Friday evening.

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is classified as questionable heading into the Friday night clash in Cleveland.

If he does sit out again, Kelly […]

Dean Wade Doubtful On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (ankle) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's opener in Memphis. Wade is more realistically day-to-day as he continues to work his way back from a sprained right ankle. However, he isn't expected to have a significant role in the rotation this season, at least right now, so there likely aren't too […]

Shake Milton Out Against Pelicans

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (ankle) will not play during Wednesday's opener against the Pelicans. This isn't a surprise, primarily since a right ankle sprain has plagued him since the preseason. With Ben Simmons (suspension) also not in the equation after getting thrown out of practice on Tuesday, Philly will be short-handed in the backcourt. […]

Terry Rozier Downgraded To Questionable

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's opener against the Pacers. Rozier is currently dealing with a sprained left ankle and was initially listed as probable earlier in the day.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) isn't anticipated to participate in full-contact practices until November, at the earliest. The veteran is working his way back from a torn right Achilles, and although there have been rumblings he may be back for the Christmas Day meeting against the Phoenix Suns, the team will undoubtedly continue […]
