Dwyane Wade Out, Tyler Johnson In Wednesday Night

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (sore knee) has been ruled out against his former team the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night. Wade was questionable with a sore knee, but given the veteran's mileage, a night off might be the best option. Wade's teammate, Tyler Johnson (sore calf) was also questionable, but will "give it a try" […]

Reggie Jackson Ties Season-High With 25 Points

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson went on the offensive Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson finished with a team-high 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting, five assists, three three-pointers, three rebounds and zero turnovers in 35 minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly recorded a triple-double in the win over the Detroit Pistons Tuesday night. Antetokounmpo finished with 21 points on 8-for-16 shooting and added 11 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes. Antetokounmpo continues to lead the much improved Bucks, returning consistent first-round fantasy value. Antetokounmpo will […]

Elfrid Payton A Late Scratch Tuesday Night

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) will not play Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets. Payton must have picked up the sprain in their last contest as he was a late addition to the injury report. It's also possible Payton is being held out for trade talks with the news surrounding Anthony Davis, […]

Steven Adams, Terrance Ferguson Both Out Tuesday Night

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be without the services of Steven Adams (ankle) and Terrance Ferguson (back) Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic. Both Adams and Ferguson were game-time decisions Tuesday and will get the night off. Nerlens Noel and Hamidou Diallo will get the spot starts. Both will popular value plays against the Orlando […]

Sam Dekker, Ian Mahinmi Both Available Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Sam Dekker (back) and center Ian Mahinmi (thumb) will play Tuesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both Dekker and Mahinmi missed Sunday's contest with their ailments, but seem to have recovered enough to take the court. Both players are not recommended fantasy options in standard leagues as they resume their bench roles.

Jamal Murray Ruled Out Against Pelicans

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been ruled out Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Murray has missed the past two contests with an ankle sprain and will miss a third on Wednesday. The fact Murray is being ruled out a day in advance is a little concerning, but he should be […]

DeMarcus Cousins Scores Season-High 22 Points Monday

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins continues to impress coming off a scary Achilles injury. Cousins scored 22 points on 7-for-12 shooting in 25 minutes Monday night in a blowout win against the Indiana Pacers. Cousins also contributed six rebounds, four assists and a three-pointer in the contest. Cousins is slowly ramping up his minutes […]

Darren Collison Continues Hot Streak Despite Loss

Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison has been playing well in the absence of Victor Oladipo (knee) and that continued Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. Collison finished with 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting from the field and eight assists in just 24 minutes. The Pacers let the game get away from them early, […]

Edmond Sumner Starting For Tyreke Evans Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyreke Evans (back) has been ruled out Monday and coach Nate McMillan has decided to start Edmond Sumner against the Golden State Warriors. Evans is having some lower back soreness but the injury is not supposed to be serious. Sumner getting the spot start is a bit of a surprise, but looks […]

Joe Harris Available Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (hip) will be available Monday night against the Boston Celtics. Harris was dealing with some hip soreness prior to Monday and was originally questionable. However, Harris will not miss any time with the minor ailment. Look for Harris to resume his regular role Monday night.

Rajon Rondo Returns To Starting Lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo (hand) will play and start Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rondo has missed almost a month with his hand injury, but will return to action Thursday with the Lakers in desperate need of ball-handling. Teammate Lonzo Ball (ankle) was designated with a Grade 3 ankle sprain and […]

T.J. Warren Will Be Shut Down For Next Two-To-Three Weeks

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) will be shut down from basketball activities for the next two-to-three weeks. Warren was originally ruled out Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers before the news of the shut down. With the Suns holding one of the worst records in the league, there's no reason to push Warren […]

Julius Randle Ruled Out Against Oklahoma City

New Orleans Pelicans forward Julius Randle (ankle) will not suit up for Thursday night's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Randle is suffering from a right ankle sprain and will join Anthony Davis (thumb) and Nikola Mirotic (calf) on the bench, leaving New Orleans very thin in the frontcourt. The Pelicans will likely rely on […]

Victor Oladipo Taken Out On Stretcher Wednesday Night

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) was taken off the court on a stretcher Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors. Oladipo was down on the court with an apparent knee injury as players and coaching staff surrounded him before the stretcher came out. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but it […]

Andre Drummond Will Not Suit Up Against Pelicans

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (concussion) is listed as out Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Drummond was questionable coming into the contest as he cleared the league's concussion protocol, but was ultimately not ready to take the court. Zaza Pachulia will start in Drummond's place but is not the best fantasy option despite […]

Aaron Gordon Starting Wednesday Night

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back), who missed his past two games with a back injury, will play and start Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Gordon was originally questionable with back spasms, but has recovered enough to rejoin the lineup. Jonathan Simmons will move back to the bench and lose most, if not all, […]

Jimmy Butler Remains Out Against San Antonio

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) will miss Wednesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Butler remains day-to-to with a sore wrist and underwent a cautionary MRI on Monday, but there was no serious concern with the injury. Corey Brewer will get another spot start and he played extremely well against the Houston Rockets […]

Kevin Huerter Will Not Play Wednesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (neck) will not suit up Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. Huerter is dealing with a sore neck and was originally designated as questionable coming into the contest. However, he was later downgraded to doubtful and will miss his second consecutive game. Taurean Prince will likely get the spot start, […]

Jeff Teague Out Tuesday Against Suns

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (foot) will not play Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Teague is experiencing left foot soreness and, given his unfortunate stint with injuries this season, the Wolves are wise to rest their starting point guard to avoid further injury. With Teague out, Derrick Rose will start and presumably play […]

De'Aaron Fox And Nemanja Bjelica Out Tuesday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (toe) and forward Nemanja Bjelica (back) are out Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors. Both Fox and Bjelica are banged up and experiencing soreness so this is more of a maintenance day than a serious injury concern. In Fox's absence, Frank Mason III and Yogi Ferrell will get a […]

Ricky Rubio Available To Play Monday Night

Updating a previous report, Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (hamstring) is available to play Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Rubio was originally a game-time decision, but will now be available in Monday's contest. Due to the lengthy absence of play, Rubio is expected to have a minutes restriction. Royce O'Neal will likely […]

Ricky Rubio Game-Time Decision Monday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (hamstring) is a game-time decision Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Rubio was expected to miss up to two weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered January 7th so this matches up with the initial diagnosis. However, there is still a chance Rubio remains sidelined as he seems […]

Joel Embiid Game-Time Decision Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) will be a game-time decision Monday night against the Houston Rockets. This is the third consecutive game Embiid has been questionable to play with back tightness, but he was able to tough it out and play both of the previous two games. It is assumed Embiid will go through […]

Jimmy Butler Will Sit Against Houston

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) will not play against the Houston Rockets Monday night. Butler was experiencing wrist soreness after Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and was diagnosed with a mild right wrist sprain. In Butler's absence, Furkan Korkmaz should be in line to start while the rest of the Sixers receive […]

Carmelo Anthony Traded To Chicago Bulls

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony has been traded to the Chicago Bulls for cash. Anthony, who has not played since November 8th, 2018, is not expected to actually play with the Bulls and will most likely be released once the trade is finalized. The Rockets had to make a roster spot for newly acquired Kenneth […]

Jeff Teague Cleared To Play Sunday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (illness) will play Sunday night against the Phoenix Suns. Teague was battling an illness earlier in the day, but ultimately decided he felt good enough to not miss any time. While Teague resumes his normal starting role, Derrick Rose still has value off the bench.

Lonzo Ball Out Four-To-Six Weeks With Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) will miss the next four-to-six weeks with a Grade left ankle sprain. Ball rolled his ankle Saturday night against the Houston Rockets and had to be carried off the court after being in visible pain. The second-year guard will now miss upwards of a month of play […]
