Russell Westbrook Will Start Sunday With Minutes Restriction

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (quad) will play and start Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Westbrook has been sidelined for the past week, although the Wizards have not been able to play any games due to health and safety protocols. However, Westbrook is back in the starting lineup on Sunday and will be […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back/hip) will not play Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon is dealing with back and hip soreness, but this is also the first half of a back-to-back set so his absence could be precautionary. With Gordon out, Gary Clark will start at the four, but does not offer much upside […]

Nicolas Batum Out Friday Against Thunder

Los Angeles Clipper forward Nicolas Batum (personal) will not play Friday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Batum is home with his wife as they welcome their newborn tonight. With Batum out, Marcus Morris will be line to start and get a decent amount of run in the first unit. Morris has been a solid […]

Ricky Rubio Will Play And Come Off The Bench Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio will play and come off the bench Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Rubio has sat out the last two games for the Timberwolves after entering the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he is good to go for Friday. Rubio has not been a must-roster player this season and is more of […]

Darius Garland Will Come Off The Bench Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) will play and come off the bench Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Garland's return was imminent as he had several last-minute scratches before Friday, but will not see a return to the starting lineup just yet. The Cavaliers are likely being very cautious with the young guard and Garland […]

Pascal Siakam Will Play, Kyle Lowry Out Against Miami

The Toronto Raptors will be without point guard Kyle Lowry (foot), but will have forward Pascal Siakam (groin) against the Miami Heat on Friday. Lowry was reported to have an infection in his toe and likely picked up the ailment sometime between now and their game Wednesday against Miami. His absence will push Norman Powell […]

Michael Porter Jr. Will Play Friday Against Suns

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is active and will play Friday night against the Phoenix Suns. Porter has been sidelined since Dec. 29 due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he rejoined the team on Thursday and is good to go moving forward. Porter has been one of the biggest fantasy sleepers this year and […]

De'Andre Hunter And Cam Reddish Playing Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and guard Cam Reddish (knee) are active against the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday. Both Hunter and Reddish missed Wednesday's game and were questionable coming into Friday. It appears Hunter is fully healed as he does not have any minutes restrictions in this one. Reddish, on the other hand, has a […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Be Active Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will play Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Gallinari has not played since December 30th and is expected to have a 15 minutes restriction off the bench in Friday's game. Gallinari was upgraded from doubtful to questionable until being listed as active, so it seems he has finally recovered from […]

Hassan Whiteside Listed As Questionable Against Knicks

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (hip) is questionable to play Friday against the New York Knicks. Whiteside has missed the last three games with the hip injury and has not really been a factor in fantasy this season. Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley III will continue to get the bulk of the big man minutes […]

Tyler Herro Out The Next Three Games

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will not play Friday against the Toronto Raptors and will miss the rest of the team's road trip. Herro has been sidelined for almost a week with neck spasms and seems like the injury is more serious than originally thought. With Herro out, Gabe Vincent will most likely get […]

Myles Turner Available To Play Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hand) is available to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Turner is making his return after a two-game absence with a slight fracture in his right hand. Turner, who leads the league in blocks, does not have a reported minutes restriction, but it will be worth noting his shooting (primary […]

Seth Curry Listed As Probable Against Boston

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry is listed as probable to play Friday night against the Boston Celtics. Curry missed Wednesday against Boston despite not being listed on the injury report. The team reported Curry's conditioning was not up to speed after sitting due to COVID-19, which explains the unexpected absence. Curry will likely rejoin the starting […]

LeBron James And Anthony Davis Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) and forward/center Anthony Davis (ankle) are playing and starting Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both James and Davis have been listed on most, if not all, injury reports this season, but have been in no real danger of missing the contests. Expect James and Davis to see their […]

Cody Zeller Expected To Make Return Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (probable) is expected to play Friday night against the Chicago Bulls. Zeller fractured his left hand in the first game of the season and has been out ever since. Despite his first game back, Zeller is not expected to see any type of minutes restriction and the Hornets are finally […]

De'Andre Hunter And Cam Reddish Questionable Friday Night

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and guard Cam Reddish (knee) are both questionable Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both Hunter and Reddish missed Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons with knee issues and are probably closer to game-time decisions for Friday. If they both sit again, Kevin Huerter and Solomon Hill will likely get […]

Danilo Gallinari Listed As Doubtful Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) is doubtful and not expected to play Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Gallinari has had a rough start to his Atlanta campaign and only played in two games this year while dealing with an ankle injury. Gallinari will likely be eased back into the lineup whenever he is cleared […]

Alec Burks Probable To Play Thursday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as probable Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors. Burks has been out a few weeks after dealing with an ankle sprain, but stated he feels great and is expected to play. The tail end of his absences were due to conditioning so Burks should not […]

Killian Hayes To Be Re-Evaluated In Eight Weeks

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hip) will be re-evaluated in eight weeks after consulting with specialists about his hip injury. The specialists described the hip injury as a subluxation which will be treated with rest and rehab before being re-evaluated. If Hayes is able to return at the end of the eight weeks, he will […]

Tyler Herro Remains Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will not play Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Herro will miss his second straight game with neck spasms after not playing the second half of Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Heat are starting a four-game road trip and Herro is still with the team which bodes well […]

Collin Sexton Starting Wednesday, Darius Garland Still Out

The Cleveland Cavaliers will get guard Collin Sexton (ankle) back after an extended absence, but are still without guard Darius Garland (shoulder), who is out Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Sexton missed the past five games but was very close to returning, and the Cavs had their past two games postponed, so the return could […]

Myles Turner Out, Jeremy Lamb In Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hand) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, but guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) will be making his season debut. Turner's absence will push Domantas Sabonis over to the five and allow Doug McDermott to get more run in the starting lineup. It is yet to be seen if […]

Cam Reddish, De'Andre Hunter Both Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guards/forwards Cam Reddish (knee) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) will not suit up Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. Both players were game-time decisions ahead of the contest before being downgraded to doubtful and then out before tip-off. The Hawks will be extremely thin on the wing with Danilo Gallinari (ankle) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) […]

Myles Turner Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hand) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Turner is dealing with a slight fracture in his right hand, but the questionable tag, even if he doesn't play, indicates he is not that far from returning. If Turner is unable to go, Domantas Sabonis should get heavy minutes […]

Evan Fournier Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (back) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fournier participated in a non-contact practice Tuesday, but head coach Steve Clifford stated the players' participation does not necessarily mean they are slated to return. It is looking more like another absence for Fournier unless he can heal overnight. Dwayne […]

Joel Embiid And Seth Curry Not On Injury Report For Wednesday

The Philadelphia 76ers do not have either center Joel Embiid (knee) or guard Seth Curry listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Embiid missed the past two games with knee soreness but is expected to play after the absences were reportedly just a precaution. Curry, on the other hand, has […]

Jeremy Lamb Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Lamb tore his ACL back in February 2020, but has been fully practicing for a couple weeks now and could make his season debut Wednesday. The Pacers are without T.J. Warren (foot) and Caris Levert (kidney) indefinitely so Lamb would […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 5

Cheers to those who survived one of the craziest weeks in NBA history and somehow squeaked out a win. We knew this fantasy season would not be easy, but it has proven to be quite a challenge and we are only four weeks in. We saw a plethora of games suspended, included the entire week […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 4

Here we go again. This past week we have seen four teams with positive or inconclusive COVID-19 tests, leading to quite a few key players quarantine. We even saw the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics game postponed Sunday (even though the Denver Nuggets vs. Philadelphia 76ers game on Saturday should have also been postponed). Streaming […]

Trey Lyles Starting Sunday With DeMar DeRozan Out

The San Antonio Spurs will start forward Trey Lyles with guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) out Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. DeRozan has traveled home to tend to his ill father and will not be available for the contest. With DeRozan out, Lyles becomes a solid punt play for DFS in the spot start against a […]
