Tristan Thompson Delivers Double-Double In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson rebounded with a strong performance during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 13 points and 12 rebounds. His 11th double-double of the season comes on the heels of his season-low two-rebound performance Wednesday, gaining back the trust of owners with his fifth double-double in the last six games. […]

Marcus Morris Scores 15 Points In Victory

Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris scored 15 points while drawing his fourth start of the season during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Morris went 2-for-4 from deep, bringing his mark up to 43.4 percent overall on the season, which would be far and away a new career high. In many ways, the move […]

Marcus Smart Fills Stat Sheet In Start

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart was all over the board during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 12 points, seven assists, three rebounds and three steals, even adding a pair of triples as he drew the start in place of the injured Jaylen Brown. While he didn’t see the same 40-minute workload […]

Jayson Tatum Logs Just 20 Minutes In Win

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum scored 13 points and snatched four rebounds during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Tatum was aggressive to the tune of 12 shot attempts, he played just 20 minutes in the blowout win, severely hampering his fantasy evening. His performance Friday was emblematic of the plight that comes […]

Gordon Hayward Scores 14 Points Off Bench

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward led his bench unit with 14 points during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also added four rebounds and four assists for solid contributions, but even with Jaylen Brown absent Friday, he played fewer than 30 minutes for the third consecutive game. Leading the Boston bench unit seems […]

Aron Baynes Nearly Posts Double-Double In Start

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes moved into the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and finished with 10 points and nine rebounds across 23 minutes. Baynes became a golden DFS play with Al Horford out due to rest, but even with his strong performance against Cleveland, it’s probably best to leave Baynes […]

Kyrie Irving Pours In 29 Points In 27 Minutes

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving filled up the scoring column during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 29 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including five made threes, across just 27 minutes of action. The slight minutes dip can be attributed to the convincing victory Boston delivered, but that didn’t seem to affect Irving’s […]

Elie Okobo To Replace Devin Booker In Starting Lineup

Phoenix Suns rookie point guard Elie Okobo will start Friday night's contest against the Magic, as shooting guard Devin Booker (toe) will not be available. Okobo playing for the first time in eight contests scored a career-high 19 points as he made eight of 12 shots against the Clippers on Wednesday. With Isaiah Canaan no […]

Aaron Gordon and Jonathon Simmons Will Play

The Orlando Magic announced that power forward Aaron Gordon (back) and small forward Jonathon Simmons (flu) will play on Friday night against the Suns. Gordon suffered the injury during the third quarter of Monday's loss to the Warriors and did not play on Wednesday. With Gordon's return, Jonathan Isaac will once again come off the […]

Cody Zeller Questionable To Return To Game

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (ribs) left Friday night's game against the Jazz with a rib contusion in the second quarter and is questionable to return to the game. Frank Kaminsky and Willy Hernangomez will likely share time at center in the second half if Zeller is unable to return.

Hamidou Diallo Will Be Available Versus Hawks

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Hamidou Diallo (ankle) will be available for coach Billy Donovan against the Hawks on Friday. The 20-year-old missed three straight games after suffering the injury in the second half of the game on Nov. 21. Diallo had been playing better before the injury, but it is unlikely that he sees […]

Spencer Dinwiddie In Starting Lineup

Brooklyn Nets point guard/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie will get the start in place of Joe Harris against the Grizzlies on Friday. The 25-year-old has played well lately, averaging 20.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists while shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from beyond the arc over the last five games. He […]

Joe Harris Has Been Ruled Out For Friday

Brooklyn Nets small forward Joe Harris (groin) will not play against the Grizzlies on Friday. This will be Harris' first absence of the season as he is dealing with tightness in his adductor muscle. With the 27-year-old out, DeMarre Carroll, Shabazz Napier, and Allen Crabbe all get a boost. However, none of those three are […]

Marc Gasol To Play On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies coach JB Bickerstaff announced during his pregame news conference that center Marc Gasol (ankle) is "good to go" against the Nets on Friday. Gasol, who has tallied 27 points in each of his last three games, has an outstanding matchup against a Nets defense that is giving up the fourth most points and […]

Chris Paul Expected To Be In The Lineup On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) is expected to play versus the Spurs on Friday. Paul has missed the last three games, so expect the Rockets to limit his minutes a little. Since this will be the first of back-to-back contests, it is possible that the 33-year-old will sit out Saturday's game against […]

Victor Oladipo Out Indefinitely

Indiana Pacers shooting guard/point guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is out indefinitely as his sore right knee still hampers him. The Pacers released an official announcement and only added that "further updates will be provided when warranted." Oladipo went through a 4-on-4 workout on Thursday and apparently felt some discomfort from the exercise as he did […]

Gary Harris Still Questionable for Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (ankle) did participate in shootaround, but remains questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Most likely Harris is going to be a game-time decision, so fantasy owners will have to wait until later for a better idea on his status. Torrey Craig would return to the bench if […]

Chris Paul Remains Questionable for Friday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) remains listed as questionable for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets may decide to take the cautious approach here. It sounds like Paul is closer to doubtful than actually questionable for this contest. Expect Eric Gordon […]

Kyle Korver Will Make Jazz Debut on Friday

Utah Jazz shooting guard Kyle Korver will make his debut with his new team on Friday versus the Charlotte Hornets. However, Korver will be battling for minutes behind Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles. He's a great three point specialist, but if you don't need that then leave Korver on the waiver wire.

George Hill Unlikely to Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's been sidelined since Nov. 7, but continues to make progress. Hill shouldn't be out for too much longer, but Collin Sexton is playing well as the starter. It's unclear what kind of role Hill is going to […]

Maximilian Kleber is Questionable on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join Dwight Powell (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) on the injury report. The Mavs are banged up, so Dorian Finney-Smith and Harrison Barnes could be looking at extra minutes on Friday. Fantasy owners should […]

Otto Porter Has Been Ruled Out on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's unclear why Porter is not going to play, but hopefully this is just a one game absence. Jeff Green (back) is listed as questionable, so the Wizards could be thin at forward. Markieff Morris and Kelly Oubre […]

Jeff Green is Questionable for Friday

Washington Wizards forward Jeff Green (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Green has been reliable this season, but is currently dealing with some lower back tightness. Otto Porter (personal) has already been ruled out, so the Wizards could be thin at forward. Markieff Morris could be looking at heavy […]

Alec Burks Will Play Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Alec Burks is expected to play in Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics. Burks was acquired in the deal that sent Kyle Korver to Utah earlier this week. Burks is expected to split time with Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood. It doesn't sound like Burks is going to play enough to have […]

Dwight Howard Likely Sidelined for Two Months

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (back) will undergo a surgery to alleviate pain from a gluteal injury, according to Shams Charania. Howard is expected to be sidelined at least two months. Thomas Bryant has been starting at center without Howard in the rotation. Although, Bryant hasn't done much of anything with his playing time. Markieff […]

Justise Winslow Will Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (knee) went through shootaround and will play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Winslow has been coming off the bench lately for the Heat. That's what he's done the last four games and it looks like he'll continue to do that. He […]

Derrick Jones Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jones already lost his starting gig, but now he could be sidelined for multiple games. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger and Jones wasn't a big part of the rotation anyway. He belongs on the waiver […]

Jonathon Simmons is Questionable for Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (illness) missed shootaround and is in danger of missing Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross could be looking at heavy roles in the offense with Aaron Gordon (back) questionable as well. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for more information.

Jeremy Lin is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He did not play on Wednesday and is dealing with a left ankle issue. Kevin Huerter saw more minutes without Lin in the rotation on Wednesday. Deandre Bembry was able to see more action off the bench while Justin […]

Dewayne Dedmon is Available on Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is available and will play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Dedmon was listed as questionable because he's dealing with a minor left ankle issue. He's been decent during his five starts this season, but continues to battle Alex Len for playing time. This situation should be […]
