De'Andre Hunter Will Not Return Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will not return Friday against the Washington Wizards. Hunter is dealing with knee "discomfort" and has been dealing with knee issues for the past week, but has only missed one game with the ailment. If Hunter is leaving games due to discomfort, we could see him sidelined in the […]

Naz Reid Ruled Out Friday Against Philadelphia

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) will not play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Reid's absence is yet another blow to Minnesota who are still missing Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) and Juan Hernangomez (COVID-19). Ed Davis will most likely start while Jarred Vanderbilt could see extra minutes as a small-ball five. Reid was playing extremely well […]

Devin Booker Remains Out Saturday Against Dallas

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. There was some hope Booker would return as early as Thursday, but it is looking like he will miss at least a week with the hamstring injury. Jae Crowder and Cameron Johnson should continue to have added value in the starting […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Officially Starting Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will play and start Friday against the Orlando Magic. Both players were not listed on the injury report, but they are both officially good to go for Friday after two-game absences due to COVID-19. Terance Mann and Luke Kennard will most likely be pushed to the bench and […]

Lonzo Ball Starting With No Restrictions Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) will start Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball had tweaked his ankle Wednesday after just 16 minutes of play time and never returned to the game. Ball was also a game-time decision for Friday, but felt good enough in the warm ups to play his usual minutes. Nickeil […]

Larry Nance Jr. Will Start Friday Against Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) will play and start Friday against the New York Knicks. Nance is returning after a two-game absence with a wrist injury and could be limited in terms of his shooting, but should be good to go on his conditioning. Nance's return will push Cedi Osman to the bench. […]

Derrick White Out Friday; May Return Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out Friday against the Denver Nuggets. However, White is expected to return Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. White has been out almost a month with a fractured toe and was originally expected to miss at least four-to-six weeks. White has miraculously been cleared to play, […]

Avery Bradley And Andre Iguodala Ruled Out Thursday

News keeps getting worse for the Miami Heat as guard Avery Bradley (knee) and forward Andre Iguodala (neck) were ruled out Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat are already without Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Goran Dragic (groin) so they will be heavily depleted on the wing. The good news is […]

Tyler Herro Expected To Play Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Herro has been dealing with neck spasms and will return to the court after a 7-game absence. Herro's return could not come soon enough as the Heat are still missing Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and have lost four straight […]

Duncan Robinson Available Thursday Against Clippers

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (quad) will be available Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Robinson played 36 minutes Wednesday, but popped up on the injury report as questionable with a quad injury. Despite the injury, Robinson should see his normal allocation of minutes against the Clippers who are without Paul George (health and safety […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out Again Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) will not play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dragic missed Wednesday's contest with a groin injury and will remain sidelined in the second leg of a back-to-back. With Dragic (and a ton of other players) out, Kendrick Nunn will likely start and has been a solid scorer in […]

George Hill Will Sit Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill (thumb) will not play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Hill was a game-time decision, but will ultimately miss his second straight game with the injury. Theo Maledon will pick up another spot start, but there are much better options on the wire and for DFS.

Raul Neto Starting Wednesday Against Pelicans

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Washington will be without regular starting point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) as he sits the second night of a back-to-back. However, there was concern Neto might miss as well, dealing with a groin injury. It appears the injury […]

Derrick Favors Downgraded To Out Against Dallas

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (back) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Favors was questionable with back soreness before being downgraded to out. Favors has been playing limited minutes off the bench for the Jazz, but Utah is already without Donovan Mitchell (concussion). Georges Niang will probably get more run in the second […]

Kemba Walker Will Have Minutes Restriction In Near Future

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens noted that point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will not be playing more than 30 minutes in a game "anytime soon." It was also reported that Walker would not play in both legs of any back-to-back games this year, so Boston is being overly cautious with their point guard's injury. […]

Derrick White Could Return This Weekend

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich stated that the team is waiting for one of the games this weekend for guard Derrick White (toe) to make his return. White fractured his toe in the beginning of January and was expected to miss four to six weeks. A return this weekend would be just before […]

Pascal Siakam Starting Wednesday Against Bucks

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Siakam was a game-time decision after dealing with a groin injury for the past few days, but seems good to go for this contest. The Raptors will need him with OG Anunoby (calf) out and facing the Bucks, the reigning […]

Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler All Out Wednesday

The Miami Heat will be severely short-handed with point guard Goran Dragic (groin), guard Tyler Herro (neck) and guard/forward Jimmy Butler out Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Herro and Butler have missed several games with their ailments, but Dragic's injury is new, and the team might be resting him during the first game of a back-to-back. […]

Larry Nance Jr. Out Against Pistons

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) will not play Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. Nance was upgraded to questionable after missing Monday, but is still on the shelf with an injury to his right wrist. Cedi Osman will get another start and is averaging 17.4 points over his past five games. Darius Garland will […]

Rajon Rondo Ruled Out With Ankle Sprain

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (ankle) will not play Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Rondo was a game-time decision with an ankle injury, but was not cleared to play. Rondo has been a solid source of assists behind Trae Young this year, but has really struggled staying on the court. Young should see […]

Cam Reddish Available Wednesday Against Brooklyn

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) will be available against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Reddish has missed four of the past six games with Achilles soreness, but appears on track to play Wednesday after missing Tuesday. Reddish was able to play 28 minutes last time he was active, so he may have missed Tuesday […]

Domantas Sabonis Will Play Wednesday Against Charlotte

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Sabonis banged knees and left Monday's game after just 11 minutes, but an MRI revealed the injury was just a bruise. Thankfully for Indiana and fantasy managers, it looks like Sabonis will not miss any time with the injury. Should Sabonis aggravate […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Second Night Of Back-To-Back

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Gallinari has been in and out of the lineup all year due to a nagging ankle injury and there was concern he would miss the second night of a back-to-back. However, Gallinari is playing, though there has not been any minutes restriction […]

Clint Capela Will Play Wednesday Against Nets

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) will play and start Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Capela is coming off a 13-point, 18-rebound performance on Tuesday and there were some question marks surrounding his availability the second night of a back-to-back. Those questions should be answered as Capela is good to go and should continue his […]

OG Anunoby Ruled Out Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Anunoby was questionable to play with a calf injury, but ultimately could not feel good about playing. With Anunoby out, Chris Boucher should see an extended amount of minutes, especially with Pascal Siakam (groin) banged up. Norman Powell should also see […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 6

We have gotten to the point where you most likely know where your team stacks up in your league and hopefully you can pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses by streaming. This week, we only have one game postponement so far with the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies game postponed on Monday. Obviously, a lot can […]

Trae Young And Clint Capela Ruled Out Sunday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (back) and center Clint Capela (hand) are both ruled out Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Young has been playing through some back tightness, but it looks like it is finally affecting his availability after being a game-time decision on Sunday before being ruled out. Young's absence should leave more […]

Derrick Rose Will Not Play Monday With Knee Soreness

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) is out Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rose missed Saturday's game against Philadelphia, but it was the second half of a back-to-back so it was expected. This, however, suggests Rose is dealing with discomfort in his knee which is a bad sign for someone who has had knee problems […]

Jayson Tatum Out Sunday, Expected To Play On Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he is expected to play on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Tatum has not played since January 8th, but barring any setbacks, he will make his return from quarantine on Monday. Tatum will likely see some sort of minutes restriction […]

Raul Neto Ruled Out Against Spurs

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will not play Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. In the Wizards first game in quite awhile, Neto will be sidelined with a groin injury. In Neto's absence, Russell Westbrook is returning from a quad injury, but will be limited to about 25 minutes on Sunday. Ish Smith […]
