Anthony Davis’ Status For Friday’s Contest Remains Murky

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has his status for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies up in the air as he continues to battle right Achilles soreness. Davis has missed the team's past two contests due to the injury, with Kyle Kuzma reaping the benefits of an increased workload. Davis' status appears as […]

Bradley Beal Will Miss Friday’s Game

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (rest) will be absent from Friday's contest against the Knicks due to rest purposes, marking the first time this season that the league's leading scorer has been absent without an injury designation. The move is certainly a curious one with a back-to-back scheduled for Sunday/Monday for the Wizards, which […]

Maurice Harkless Cleared To Suit Up Thursday

Miami Heat small/power forward Maurice Harkless (thigh) has been given the thumbs up to play in Thursday's game against the Rockets, marking a return to action for the first time since Jan. 23. Harkless has combined for just 12 points across his first nine contests, an indication of the minimal role that he has played […]

OG Anunoby, Yuta Watanabe Remain Out Thursday

Toronto Raptors small/power forwards OG Anunoby (calf) and Yuta Watanabe (ankle) have both been ruled out for Thursday's contest versus the Celtics. Anunoby appears to be progressing toward a return in the near future, as he has joined the team on its road trip, but Toronto will remain thin on the wing for at least […]

James Wiseman Remains Out For Thursday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will not suit up for Thursday's game versus the Magic as he continues to work his way back from a left wrist sprain. Wiseman has not played since Jan. 30, leaving the Warriors fraughtfully thin in the frontcourt, with Draymond Green and Eric Paschall playing the role of […]

Bryn Forbes Draws Second Straight Start Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Bryn Forbes remains among the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Phoenix, taking the place of Jrue Holiday, who is in the league's health and safety protocols. Forbes, who has never been known as a high-volume assist contributor, has dished out just .5 dimes per game this year, an indication that […]

Oklahoma City Returns Kenrich Williams To Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard/small forward Kenrich Williams has been elevated back to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to the team's sheer lack of depth in the backcourt. Williams' minutes have skyrocketed as of late, having averaged 8.7 points and 7.0 boards over 32.1 minutes in his last three contests. […]

Shake Milton Unlikely To Play In Thursday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers point/shooting guard Shake Milton (ankle) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Thursday's game versus Portland due to a sprained left ankle. After the Seth Curry faux pas, it appears the doubtful tag was aimed for Milton, although the duo are both dealing with the same ailment. Having served as the primary […]

Abdel Nader Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Phoenix Suns small forward Abdel Nader (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest versus the Bucks due to a persistent ankle injury. Nader will have now missed three games in a row, with E'Twaun Moore a candidate to potentially snag extra minutes in Nader's absence. Despite having been aggressively offensively during his run with […]

Seth Curry Now Available For Thursday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) appears to have healed rather quickly, going from doubtful to available for Thursday's contest against Portland in under an hour. The left ankle sprain that he sustained will not keep him out of game action on the heels of a 22-point showing in his most recent outing. A […]

Frank Jackson Picks Up Doubtful Designation For Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Frank Jackson (illness) has been listed as doubtful to take the floor for Thursday's game versus Indiana due to an illness. Jackson hasn't seen game action since Friday, having played extremely scarcely with the second unit this season. While there was reason to believe that Jackson could crack the rotation upon […]

Jarrett Allen Remains Among Starting Five Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will draw his second consecutive start Wednesday against Denver, with his spot in the starting group seemingly a long-term commitment from head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. Allen played 34 minutes Monday, but snagged just five rebounds, a casualty of playing alongside Andre Drummond, who is second in the league with 14.2 […]

Nassir Little Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Nassir Little (knee) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Thursday's game versus Philadelphia as he works through a sprained left knee. Little has missed each of the team's past four contests due to the ailment, having scored a career-high 30 points in his most recent outing on […]

Seth Curry Unlikely To Suit Up Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been deemed doubtful to play in Thursday's contest against the Trail Blazers due to a sprained left ankle. Curry has been snared by the injury bug coming off of a 22-point performance, which raised his shooting from behind the arc to 50.7 percent, the second-highest mark in […]

Bruce Brown Jumps Back Into Starting Five Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Bruce Brown is among the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest versus Indiana, taking the place of Kevin Durant, who remains out due to the league's health and safety protocols. Brown started the second half of Tuesday's game and finished just a rebound shy of a double-double, indicating the upside that […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Makes Return To Action Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus the Clippers. Towns has been out since Jan. 13 following a positive COVID-19 test, which has come during a season that was already thrown off track by a wrist injury. Having appeared in just four games this year, it's not likely […]

Anthony Davis Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, marking his second consecutive absence due to a sore Achilles. Markieff Morris drew the start in his place Monday and will carry added DFS appeal, but Kyle Kuzma was able to log a double-double for the second […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Cleared To Make Pistons Debut Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, which will mark his team debut. Smith was acquired in the deal that sent Derrick Rose to the Knicks, giving the fourth-year guard an opportunity at playing time that he was unlikely […]

Jahlil Okafor Will Miss Next 6-8 Weeks After Surgery

Detroit Pistons center Jahlil Okafor (knee) underwent surgery on his left meniscus, a procedure that will keep him out of action for at least the next six to eight weeks. Okafor has been used sparingly off the bench this season for Detroit, ceding minutes to Isaiah Stewart in the role of backing up Mason Plumlee. […]

Patrick Beverley Returns To Action Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, reclaiming his spot among the starting five. With it being his first outing since Jan. 24, Beverley will be on an unspecified minutes limit, which figures to cut into his DFS appeal. […]

Evan Fournier, Al-Farouq Aminu Questionable For Thursday

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) and power forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Thursday's contest versus Golden State. Fournier continues to work through back spasms, which have derailed his production and allowed Dwayne Bacon to take on a starting role. Aminu returned for the first time […]

Danilo Gallinari Sees Minutes Cap Increased For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks small/power forward Danilo Gallinari has had his minutes restriction increased to 30 for Wednesday's contest versus the Mavericks, which essentially means that he has no cap whatsoever, considering his current season high is 25. With De'Andre Hunter sidelined for the next 2-3 months, Gallinari is expected to see an increased offensive role. Known […]

Goran Dragic Will Miss Third Straight Contest Thursday

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to an ankle sprain. Dragic did not travel with the team to kick-off their road trip, which certainly doesn't bode well for an imminent return. Kendrick Nunn is in line to continue to see an increased workload […]

OG Anunoby, Yuta Watanabe Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors small/power forwards OG Anunoby (calf) and Yuta Watanabe (ankle) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest versus the Wizards. For Anunoby, it'll mark his eighth consecutive absence, paving the way for Norman Powell to remain among the starting five, thereby making him a near must-roster asset in all season-long formats. Watanabe, who […]

Kyle Lowry Cleared To Suit Up Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (back) has received the green light to take the floor for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, getting back in action after playing just eight minutes Monday due to back issues. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Lowry would be monitored, but he did not designate a minutes limit for […]

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) will miss Wednesday's contest versus the Clippers as he continues to deal with a sore left leg. The ailment forced Russell from the team's most recent outing, allowing Ricky Rubio to see a sizable minutes increase, a role that he figures to reprise Wednesday. Without Russell in the […]

Mike Muscala Set To Return For Wednesday’s Contest

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Mike Muscala (concussion) has been listed as available on the team's latest injury report, an indication that he has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will take the floor for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. Despite significant absences in their backcourt (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Theo Maledon), OKC should be well-stocked in […]

Welcome to Wednesday, where the NBA DFS slate is always sure to throw a curveball into the mix. Across the nine games on the slate, we have the two teams most relevantly affected by players dealing with the league’s health and safety protocols (Bucks, Thunder), as well as three of the teams that have been […]

DaQuan Jeffries Nears Return, Will Enter Rotation

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Daquan Jeffries (ankle) is reportedly approaching a return to game action, per head coach Luke Walton. Jeffries is yet to suit up this season after having sustained a significant ankle sprain, which has kept him from being a key contributor with the team's second unit. Walton mentioned that upon his return, […]

Rajon Rondo Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (back) will miss Wednesday's contest versus Dallas due to lower back pain. Rondo has scuffled mightily offensively over his last three games, combining for just two points on 1-for-14 shooting in 51 minutes. While Trae Young could see a handful of additional minutes, Brandon Goodwin figures to see a […]
