Phillip Lindsay - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay should see more opportunities in a Week 8 matchup with the Rams. Lindsay has amazingly compiled just 97 rushing yards on 38 attempts, as he has gone almost nowhere on the ground this year. However, the Texans traded their leading rusher, Mark Ingram II, to the Saints, meaning Lindsay […]

David Johnson - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back David Johnson could have some sleeper appeal in PPR formats against the Rams defense. With Mark Ingram II now in New Orleans, Johnson figures to see a larger slice of the opportunity pie alongside Phillip Lindsay- though the latter has been rather unimpressive this year. The 29-year-old Johnson has seen four […]

Draymond Green Fills Up The Box Score

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green did a little bit of everything for his team in Thursday's loss to the Grizzlies. Green scored only four points but found other ways to affect the game, chipping in 12 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks, and three steals in 38 minutes. The low scoring numbers certainly hurt his […]

Ja Morant Excels On Both Ends In Victory Over Warriors

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant delivered a fine effort on both ends of the floor in Thursday's victory over Golden State. Morant paced the Grizzlies with 30 points on efficient 11-for-22 shooting- though he struggled to find his shot from beyond the arc. The budding star drained all six of his free throws, while adding […]

Stephen Curry Scores Game-High 36 Points With Seven Threes

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry poured in a game-high 36 points in Thursday's loss to Memphis.

The superstar guard chipped in […]

Anthony Davis Probable, LeBron James Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is probable for Friday's game against Cleveland. Forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for the contest against his former team. Davis- no stranger to the injury report- should be expected to suit up for the tilt against the Cavaliers after logging a whopping 78 minutes during his team's […]

Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry Probable For Friday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and Kyle Lowry (elbow), listed as probable, are expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Hornets. Both Adebayo and Lowry should be out there, though the team could opt to sit one or both of them, as it is the first leg of a back-to-back. Adebayo has […]

Zach LaVine To Tough It Out Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thumb), listed as questionable, will suit up for Thursday's game against the Knicks. LaVine suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb but has opted to play through the ailment- with head coach Billy Donovan noting that the team will have to adjust on the fly depending on how well […]

Cade Cunningham Set To Practice Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) will practice with the team Friday. Detroit has yet to see what their 2021 first-round pick is capable of, as Cunningham suffered an ankle injury during training camp. General manager Troy Weaver had said that the rookie could make his debut on Saturday against Orlando- though head coach Dwane […]

Jerami Grant Available Thursday Against 76ers

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (elbow), dealing with an infection in his left elbow, will suit up for Thursday's game against Philadelphia. Grant missed Thursday's practice and was considered a game-time call- but appears to be healthy enough to suit up after being sidelined for just one contest. The 27-year-old has been excellent on the […]

Joel Embiid, Shake Milton Suiting Up Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee), who was questionable, will play Thursday against the Pistons. Guard Shake Milton (ankle), who has yet to play this year, will also suit up. Embiid has been battling a sore knee, but it has yet to cost him any game action. Still, the talented big man has been affected […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Lou Williams Available Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shin) and guard Kevin Huerter (ankle), both listed as probable, are available for Thursday's game against the Wizards. Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and Lou Williams (ankle) will also play. There was little doubt that these four would be able to suit up, so it's not particularly surprising to see that they'll […]

Daniel Gafford Day-To-Day, To Miss Thursday's Contest

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (quad) will miss Thursday's contest against the Hawks. Gafford injured his quad during Wednesday's game against the Celtics after he collided with Jaylen Brown. Fortunately, he suffered no structural damage to his leg, with the team calling him day-to-day with a bruised right quad. Gafford should be considered questionable for […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back), listed as questionable, has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Spurs. Porzingis played just 20 minutes in Wednesday's win over Houston after sustaining a back injury- and the team is opting for the careful approach with their oft-injured star. Porzingis has played limited minutes this year as […]

Jusuf Nurkic Fills Up The Box Score In Wednesday's Win

The veteran shooting guard rounded out his productive night with six boards, two assists, […]

Ja Morant Falls Just Shy Of Triple-Double

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant fell one rebound shy of a triple-double in Wednesday's loss to Portland. Morant totaled 17 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds in 32 minutes- though his nine turnovers certainly didn't help his value. The star guard struggled a bit with his shot for the first time this season, but it's […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Nabs Second Double-Double Of Year

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. put together one of his better efforts of the year in Wednesday's loss to the Hornets. Carter scored 20 points with 10 rebounds, picking up his second double-double of the year. The 22-year-old big man added two assists, two triples, and a steal in 33 minutes of action. The […]

Gordon Hayward Fills Up The Box Score In Win Over Magic

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward did a little bit of everything in Wednesday's win over the Magic.

The 31-year-old forward was a […]

Miles Bridges Continues Red-Hot Start

No Structural Damage To Nikola Jokic's Knee

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (knee) suffered an injury in Tuesday's loss to the Jazz. Jokic exited the game after banging knees with Rudy Gobert, but an MRI confirmed no structural damage to the knee, though the star center is sore. Jokic, who scored 24 points with six rebounds and six assists in just 15 […]

Pat Connaughton Starting Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton will rejoin the starting five for Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves. Connaughton came off the bench Monday- but still played 32 minutes, contributing 13 points, seven boards, and three triples in a win over Indiana. The 28-year-old should have some DFS appeal with added shot opportunities available in the absence […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Enters Starting Five

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. Vanderbilt had been playing a bench role for Minnesota- though he appears to have impressed enough in his limited minutes to earn starter's status for at least one night. The 22-year-old is averaging 1.7 steals in just 12 minutes […]

Norman Powell Ruled Out Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell (knee), listed as questionable, won't play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. Powell is dealing with a left knee injury and remains without a timetable for return, with his next chance to take the court coming on Friday versus the Clippers.

The star center shot just 41.7 percent from the field but made up for it by […]

Fred VanVleet Hands Out Career-High 17 Assists

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet had an excellent night as a playmaker in Monday's loss to the Bulls.
