Kevin Love Questionable Against Dallas

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against Dallas. The veteran will now miss another one as he continues to deal with a bruise on his left knee. Although the injury doesn't appear to be too serious, Love's career in Cleveland may be over after rumblings of a trade or buyout […]

Immanuel Quickley Doubtful On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 21-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained left ankle and wasn't in the lineup on Friday against Phoenix as a result. With Alec Burks also likely to sit, Reggie Bullock and Derrick Rose should benefit the […]

Alec Burks Expected To Sit Against The Clippers

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (knee) is listed as doubtful on Sunday against the Clippers. The veteran has been dealing with a bruised left knee, an ailment that caused him to miss the team's previous matchup against the scorching Phoenix Suns. With Immanuel Quickley (ankle) also expected to sit, Reggie Bullock and Derrick Rose […]

Robert Williams III Expected To Be In Uniform Against Miami

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) may suit up against Miami on Sunday. The 23-year-old was expected to be out longer due to turf toe, or at least that is how coach Brad Stevens made it sound, so his designation against the Heat is somewhat of a surprise. Nonetheless, his potential presence will likely […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable Against Miami

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Miami Heat. Brown has missed several games while working his way back from a sprained right ankle. If he returns to the lineup, Marcus Smart and Evan Fournier will both likely see a decrease in minutes.

Ljay Newsome Exits With Elbow Injury

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Ljay Newsome (elbow) exited Saturday's outing against Texas. The 24-year-old lasted only an inning and was pulled after suffering inflammation in his right elbow. The righty doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy managers likely won't lose any sleep if he ends up taking a trip to the 10-day injured […]

X-Rays On Ronald Acuna Jr. Negative

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (hand) is considered day-to-day. The 23-year-old took a pitch to his left hand during Saturday's outing against the Phillies, resulting in a bruised left pinky. Luckily, x-rays were negative, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him out of the lineup for the series finale against Philly on […]

Corbin Burnes Could Return Soon

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes could throw a bullpen session on Monday, and if all goes well, he could be back in the lineup by the end of next week. Burnes has missed time after landing on the COVID-19 injured list. The righty currently sits on a 1.53 ERA and a record of two […]

Brett Anderson May Be Removed From I.L. On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brett Anderson (hamstring) is likely to be removed from the injured list on Sunday. The veteran exited a matchup against the Cubs a few weeks ago, and fortunately for the team, an MRI revealed just a right hamstring strain. The southpaw is posting a 2.65 ERA along with two wins and […]

Cody Bellinger Ramping Up Activity

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Cody Bellinger (leg) has been running at 60 percent, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. The news is encouraging, especially after he has been out of the lineup since April 6 due to a fracture in his left leg. The 25-year-old is batting .211 this season to […]

Zach McKinstry Continues To Make Progress

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Zach McKinstry (oblique) continues to make progress toward a return. The 26-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain but is expected to be out a little longer, so the news is encouraging for those fantasy managers benefiting from his production this season. McKinstry is […]

Scott Alexander Not Expected To Be Out Long

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) shouldn't be out long, according to J.P. Hoornstra of the L.A. Daily News. The 31-year-old recently landed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 3, and should be ready to go when eligible to return. Alexander is sporting a decent 2.31 ERA throughout 11.2 innings this […]

Tony Gonsolin Working His Way Toward A Return

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) continues to make progress toward a return. The 26-year-old has been throwing bullpen sessions as of late after missing time due to shoulder soreness. Skipper Dave Roberts indicated that the righty could be back by the end of May or the beginning of June and has a good […]

Dan Winkler Making Progress

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Dan Winkler (triceps) was spotted playing catch recently. The veteran landed on the injured list a few days ago with tendinitis in his right triceps, so the latest news is promising. The 31-year-old has also missed time this season due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols and should remain on rosters […]

Chris Sale Throwing Off A Mound

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) has begun throwing off a mound. This is good news, primarily since this is the next step toward the veteran returning to the lineup after having Tommy John Surgery back in March of 2020. Although Sale's numbers haven't been the best over the last few years, fantasy […]

Kike Hernandez Lands On The Injured List

Boston Red Sox second baseman Kike Hernandez (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 29-year-old left Thursday's matchup against the Tigers due to right hamstring tightness and hasn't played since. Hernandez has played well during the 2021 campaign, sporting a .239 average to go along with 27 hits, with seven doubles and […]

Ketel Marte “Very Close” To Starting Rehab Assignment

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (hamstring) is "very close" to starting a rehab assignment. Marte had an MRI done on his injured right hamstring a few weeks ago, and it returned promising results that indicated healing. The 27-year-old hasn't played since suffering the ailment against the Rockies over a month ago. Still, fantasy managers […]

Mike Conley Out Again

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) remains out on Saturday against the Houston Rockets. The veteran continues to deal with right hamstring tightness, and with the team looking to advance deep into the playoffs, he may not be back until closer to the end of the regular season. Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is also out, so […]

Monte Morris Remains Out Against Brooklyn

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (hamstring) won't play on Saturday night. This isn't a surprise as Morris hasn't been seen in weeks while working his way back from a right hamstring strain. Will Barton (hamstring) and P.J. Dozier (hip) are also out again, so Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo should continue to see a potential […]

P.J. Dozier To Miss Another One

Denver Nuggets guard P.J. Dozier (hip) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. Dozier didn't play on Friday against Utah due to a right Adductor strain and is in danger of missing time until the end of the year. Will Barton (hamstring) and Monte Morris (hamstring) are also out, so Austin […]

Will Barton Out Again Versus Brooklyn

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) won't play on Saturday against the visiting Nets. The 30-year-old will now miss his ninth consecutive outing against Brooklyn, and with the team also down P.J. Dozier (hip) and Monte Morris (hamstring), the door is open for increased fantasy production from Facundo Campazzo, Austin Rivers, and Shaquille Harrison, although […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (5/8/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Monte Morris Out Again

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (hamstring) will sit out again on Friday night against Utah.

The 24-year-old isn't expected back anytime soon while dealing with a right Adductor strain and is in jeopardy of missing time heading into the postseason. With Will Barton (hamstring) and Monte Morris (hamstring) also out, Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo should […]

Norman Powell Expected To Play Against Lakers

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell (knee) is expected to be back in the lineup against the Lakers on Friday night. Powell sat out on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to Jumper's knee. Derrick Jones Jr. should see a reduction in minutes with the veteran available against Los Angeles.

Anthony Davis Dealing With Back Spasms

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (ankle/back) left Thursday's outing against the Clippers. After twisting his right ankle, the 28-year-old began to experience back spasms, which ultimately will likely cause him to miss Friday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. With LeBron James (ankle) and Dennis Schroder both out, Alex Caruso, Andre Drummond, Talen Horton-Tucker, […]

Terrence Ross Remains Out Against Charlotte

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) won't play again on Friday against Charlotte. The veteran has been dealing with back spasms and has missed his previous 10 games as a result. With the team looking toward next season, it wouldn't be a surprise if he is done for the year. Look for R.J. Hampton and […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) will sit out on Friday against the visiting Hornets. Carter is dealing with a cut around his left eye and didn't play against Boston the other night as a result. Without him, Mo Bamba should do most of the work in the middle, with the 22-year-old recording 19 […]

Victor Oladipo Won’t Play On Friday Night

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is out on Friday against Minnesota, as expected. Oladipo's status moving ahead is a mystery at the moment, but it is safe to assume that if he is to make it back this season, it likely won't be until the postseason. With Tyler Herro (foot) and Jimmy Butler (illness) […]

Tyler Herro Remains Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is questionable ahead of Friday's matchup against Minnesota. The 21-year-old has missed his previous six contests while dealing with soreness in his right foot. With Jimmy Butler (illness) also in danger of not suiting up, Goran Dragic, Trevor Ariza, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson could be in store for […]
