Quinn Cook Will Start on Saturday

Golden State Warriors point guard Quinn Cook will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Stephen Curry (groin) has been ruled out for this game, but his MRI results were encouraging. The Warriors are likely going to be cautious with Curry, so Cook could see a handful of starts. Shaun Livingston […]

Draymond Green Won't Play on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Green is reportedly targeting a return for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Nikola Mirotic is Questionable for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Pelicans are not too worried about Mirotic, but he did have an ankle brace on during Friday's practice. Solomon Hill and Darius Miller would see increased playing time if Mirotic is forced to the sidelines. Neither player is […]

Carmelo Anthony Plays Poorly In Return To OKC

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony spent last year with the Thunder, and on Thursday he had a chance for a revenge game against his former team. Instead, Anthony was abysmal for the Rockets, scoring two points on 1-for-11 shooting and grabbing five rebounds. Anthony should play better on Saturday against the Spurs, but with lows […]

Houston faces San […]

Andrew Harrison Will Make Cavs Debut on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Andrew Harrison practiced with the team on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

C.J. Miles Practiced on Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (hip) practiced on Friday and is expected to play against the Knicks on Saturday. Miles did not play on Wednesday due to his hip issue.

Devin Harris Uncertain for Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (hamstring) practiced with the team on Friday, but it's uncertain if he'll actually suit up for the game against OKC. Harris has been sidelined since the regular season opener, but has been getting closer to a return. Regardless, Harris isn't going to be a big part of the Mavs rotation. […]

Jimmy Butler Scheduled to Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (soreness) is scheduled to play in Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It sounds like the Wolves will continue to rest Butler in back-to-back sets. It's safe to assume that Butler will suit up for Friday's contest. However, Butler is growing increasingly frustrated with the Wolves lack of success. Fantasy […]

Lance Thomas is Out At Least Four Weeks

New York Knicks forward Lance Thomas (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Thomas started the first five games for the Knicks.

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He left Wednesday's game after landing awkwardly when coming down for a rebound.

Dwyane Wade is Out on Friday

Kyrie Irving Won't Play on Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't play in Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Irving is attending his grandfather's memorial.

Goran Dragic Ruled Out Against Pacers

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Dragic did not play in Wednesday's game after being listed as questionable for that one.

Kevin Huerter Expected to Play on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (personal) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He did not play in Wednesday's contest against the Knicks, but is not listed on the injury report anymore. He's averaging 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists this season. He's buried on the depth chart, so he […]

Shaun Livingston Could Return Soon

Golden State Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston (foot) could return in the near future. Livingston has been sidelined since October 26, but head coach Steve Kerr said he was improving. Usually Livingston is fairly useless in terms of fantasy production. However, Stephen Curry (groin) could be looking at missing some time. That means the fantasy […]

Timetable for Stephen Curry is Unclear

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (groin) said that he was unsure how much time he was going to miss. Curry suffered a groin injury during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry is set for an MRI on Friday, so more information should be known later. Quinn Cook could see his fantasy value […]
