Lou Williams Will Play Against Dallas

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) will play Thursday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

Justise Winslow Will Not Play Thursday Night

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (ankle) will be active, but not suit up Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Winslow will join teammates Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters on the bench for Thursday's contest. Tyler Johnson jumps into the starting lineup and should see a large amount of minutes, justifying him as a solid DFS […]

Maximilian Kleber No Longer Listed On Thursday's Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (toe) will play Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns. Despite playing 17 minutes Wednesday, Kleber was originally questionable Thursday on the second night of a back-to-back. Seems like there have been no setbacks for Kleber, but his fantasy value will be low with Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) nearing a return.

Aaron Baynes Starting Against Wizards

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) will play and start Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Baynes is still recovering from an ankle sprain he suffered last week and will see limited action Wednesday, but the fact he is starting is encouraging. Daniel Theis will move back to the bench and lose most of his […]

Reggie Bullock Remains Out While Stanley Johnson Is Active

The Detroit Pistons will be without guard Reggie Bullock (ankle) again Wednesday night, but will have guard/forward Stanley Johnson (knee) in the lineup against the Charlotte Hornets. Bullock will miss fifth straight game as the Detroit medical staff is taking his rehab slowly and could miss more time. Johnson will return after a three-game absence […]

Jeff Green Will Start For Otto Porter Against Celtics

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (knee) will sit out Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics. Porter has been day-to-day with a bone bruise he suffered Monday and does not feel good enough to go Wednesday.

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (groin) will sit out Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Butler was doubtful to play in this one after missing Tuesday's practice and is considered day-to-day per Coach Brett Brown.

E'Twaun Moore Will Sit Wednesday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard E'Twaun Moore (leg) will not play Wednesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Moore will miss his second straight game after being ruled questionable, leaving the Pelicans thin without Elfrid Payton (finger) and Nikola Mirotic (ankle) Wednesday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo A Late Scratch Monday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (neck) is ruled out Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Antetokounmpo was a late scratch due to neck soreness he experienced before tip-off.

Jordan Clarkson Will Play Against Milwaukee

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson (back) will play Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Clarkson was dealing with some back pain coming into the contest and was in noticeable discomfort during shootaround. Despite this, Clarkson will give it a go Monday and resume his bench role, but may be limited. Clarkson should approached with caution […]

Evan Fournier Not With Team Monday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (personal) went back home and will not play Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. While the reasons are unclear, it is urgent enough for Fournier to leave before tip-off Monday. Coach Steve Clifford has not decided on a replacement starter, but Terrence Ross and Jonathan Simmons figure to benefit the […]

Gordon Hayward Inactive Monday Night

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) will not play Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hayward was doubtful to play in this contest, so this comes as no surprise.

Al Horford Ruled Out Monday Night

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) will not suit up Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Horford has been dealing with a knee issue and was expected to miss this match up after being listed as doubtful. Daniel Theis, who dominated the Chicago Bulls Saturday, draws another start. Despite going up against Anthony Davis […]

C.J. McCollum Ruled Out Thursday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (ankle) will not play Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns. McCollum logged 40 minutes against the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday, but must have picked up an ankle sprain somewhere along the way and is still dealing with discomfort. McCollum's absence leaves a ton of minutes up for grabs, which will […]

Klay Thompson Finally Cools Off Wednesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson had a poor shooting night Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers after a hot streak.

Osman scored 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting while adding three three-pointers, three rebounds, and two steals in 33 minutes. Osman has really struggled shooting this season, shooting just […]

Tristan Thompson Grabs 19 Rebounds Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson posted his fourth straight double-double against the Golden State Warriors Wednesday. Thompson grabbed 19 rebounds while adding 14 points and three assists in 30 minutes.

Collin Sexton Scores 21 Points Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton led the team in scoring Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Sexton scored 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting including three three-pointers in 35 minutes, but not much else.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. posted a solid all-around stat line against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Nance finished with 11 points on 4-for-4 shooting from the field, eight rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in just 24 minutes. Nance has been relegated to the bench with George Hill back […]

Khris Middleton Ruled Out Wednesday For Personal Reasons

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (personal) is not with the team Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. There was report of Middleton being on the injury report so this comes as a surprise.

Omari Spellman A Late Scratch Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman (hip) will not play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards.

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out Wednesday With Wrist Injury

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) will not play Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Smith has been dealing with a sore wrist over the past week and was questionable coming into Wednesday, but does not feel healthy enough to go. With Smith out, Dorian Finney-Smith figures to rejoin the starting lineup while […]

Nikola Mirotic Will Miss Second Straight Game Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) will sit out again Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Mirotic will miss his second straight game while he remains under the weather with an undisclosed illness. Julius Randle will start in place of Mirotic and is a great DFS option while Mirotic is on the shelf. Randle […]

Jeff Green Will Not Play Wednesday Against Atlanta

Washington Wizards forward Jeff Green (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Green has been dealing with back spasms which held him out of Saturday's game and limited him to just 15 minutes on Monday. It appears a setback occurred and he should be considered questionable for their […]

Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova (concussion) will not play Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. Ilyasova was doubtful coming into the contest as he still needs to clear the NBA's concussion protocol.
