Russell Westbrook Officially Ruled Out Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) will not make his return Wednesday night against the New York Knicks. Westbrook was already listed as out, but participated in Wednesday's shootaround so there was speculation he may be a surprise active. However, Westbrook will get another night off as he recovers from his sprained ankle. […]

Serge Ibaka A Late Scratch Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) is a late scratch from Wednesday night's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Ibaka was reported to be dealing with some knee soreness and will get the day off. In Ibaka's absence, Jonas Valanciunas will start and get most of the minutes at the five. Valanciunas should be a popular […]

Cedi Osman Will Return Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) will play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Osman has missed his last two games with back spasms, but after returning to practice, he feels ready enough to get back onto the court. The Cavs will bring Osman off the bench Wednesday in an attempt to limit his minutes. […]

Jarrett Allen Remains Out With Illness

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (illness) will remain out Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. Allen missed Monday's contest with the illness and still feels too under the weather to return to game action. In Allen's absence, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will likely remain the starting five as the Nets go small ball. Ed Davis will also […]

Damian Lillard is Probable for Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) is considered probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He sat out of Tuesday's practice, but said he hopes to play on Wednesday. This injury doesn't sounds serious, so Lillard should be able to play through a little discomfort. Fantasy owners should expect him to play, […]

Wesley Matthews is Probable on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Matthews was unable to suit up for Monday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Dorian Finney-Smith would return to the bench and be irrelevant in fantasy basketball if Matthews returns on Wednesday.

Jeff Teague Remains Questionable for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He played 35 minutes as a starter on Monday, but was limping around at times. It appears that maybe Teague has not fully recovered yet. Derrick Rose would likely draw the start if Teague sits out. Fantasy owners should […]

Jarrett Allen is Questionable on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Allen missed Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson drew the start at center with Ed Davis seeing extended playing time. That will likely be the Nets plan once again if Allen is unable to play. Fantasy owners should […]

Cedi Osman Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He returned to practice on Monday, but didn't play in Tuesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. It's fairly safe to assume that if he didn't play Tuesday, then he probably won't be ready for Wednesday. Kyle Korver (foot) has already […]

Elfrid Payton Remains Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton has missed the last eight games with an ankle issue. Most likely Payton would be dealing with a minutes limit, assuming he's able to play. Having a minutes limit would kill off any DFS value that Payton might've […]

Nikola Mirotic Will Play on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mirotic shouldn't be facing a minutes limit after only missing two games with a minor ankle issue. Julius Randle should head back to the bench and see his value take a hit. E'Twaun Moore is expected to lose some […]

Kyle Korver Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game. He didn't practice on Monday and missed Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It's unclear how serious this issue is at the moment, but the Cavs are really banged up. Rodney Hood, J.R. Smith, and Jordan Clarkson will see more minutes in […]

Avery Bradley is Questionable Against Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Bradley has missed the last four games, but has a chance to return on Thursday. It's unclear if Bradley will be under a minutes limit, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken over the starting spot anyway. It's unlikely that […]

Luc Mbah a Moute is Questionable for Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's been out since October 23, but head coach Doc Rivers continues to hint that Mbah a Moute is close. He'll likely have a minutes limit once he returns and it's already unclear when that will […]

Tyson Chandler Isn't Interested in Starting Spot

Los Angeles Lakers center Tyson Chandler reportedly isn't interested in taking over the starting center spot. "It's not about me and him. I not here to take anybody's job," said Chandler. Lakers starting center JaVale McGee didn't seem excited when discussing the addition of Chandler. However, Chandler is saying the right things and it appears […]

Jamal Murray Efficient Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored 15 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He added five assists and a steal as well. Murray hasn't broken 20 points since his 48-point outburst against the Celtics, and he's shooting 14.3 percent from three in that stretch, but the third-year guard has shown […]

Jonathan Isaac Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will be working under a minutes limit because he's missed the last six games. Wes Iwundu will lose a significant amount of playing time with the return of Isaac. Terrence Ross could lose some value as well, but he's […]

Gary Harris Gets Out Of Shooting Slump Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was shooting under 30 percent from the field and from three over four games before Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but Harris started to emerge from his cocoon, scoring 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting and hitting three of his six attempts from downtown. He had four steals as well. Harris […]

Nikola Jokic Records Double-Double Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Tuesday's loss to Houston. He also grabbed 12 rebounds and added in seven assists and a pair of steals. Jokic continues to have an effective season for fantasy owners, and should be in a good position for success on Thursday against a Hawks […]

Chris Paul Scores 21 Points Against Denver

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 21 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He was 3-for-7 from three-point range and also dished out four assists while adding five rebounds and a pair of steals. Paul has had some struggles scoring the basketball, but has now posted his two most […]

Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (soreness) and guard/forward Evan Fournier (soreness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Steve Cifford said both players are dealing with minor injuries, but will play through them. The Magic have played seven games in 11 days, so it makes sense why some players are dealing […]

James Ennis Effective Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets forward James Ennis scored 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds and a pair of blocks. Ennis has been wildly inconsistent with his scoring output for the Rockets this season, and coming into Tuesday's game had scored a combined seven points over his […]

Markelle Fultz Heads to The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will come off the bench versus the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The addition of Jimmy Butler might've killed off all hopes of Fultz returning to the starting lineup this season. J.J. Redick makes more sense with alongside Butler, so that's what head coach Brett Brown is going to use for […]

Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler and Joel Embiid in the starting five. This is likely going to be the starting lineup that the Sixers continue to roll with for the foreseeable future. Butler is a safe […]

Derrick Jones is Questionable on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) didn't participate in shootaround and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been inconsistent all season, meaning DFS players should stay away regardless of his status. Justise Winslow should see a few extra minutes if Jones sits out. More information should be known closer to […]

Kevin Durant Scores 29 Points Without Draymond Green

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant scored 29 points during Tuesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. Durant hit nine of 23 shots and 11 of 11 free throws to go along with six rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 37 minutes. Not a bad showing after Monday's tumultuous display between him and […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Joins Starting Five on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay will join the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Frank Nitlikina will head to the bench after logging in just six minutes last game. Head coach David Fizdale is shaking up his lineup, but that doesn't mean this is a long term move. Nitlikina should […]

Kevin Knox Will Start on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Damyean Dotson will head to the bench and that will likely be the case for the foreseeable future. Knox has scored 17 points over his last two games, so the Knicks will ride his hot […]

Clint Capela Efficient Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 24 points on 11-for-15 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also grabbed nine rebounds and added two assists and a block. It was Capela's third game of the year with 20 or more points, but he also was held to under 10 rebounds for the third […]

Quinn Cook Rebounds On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook was able to recover from Monday night's seven-point outing with 18 points, four rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes on Tuesday. The Warriors play five times this week and don't appear to be in any rush to get Stephen Curry (groin) back. Golden State plans to give an […]
