Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby filled in for C.J. Miles (knee) on Thursday, scoring 11 points in the starting lineup with three makes coming from deep.

Washington Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky was solid in the win over the Toronto Raptors Thursday night. Satoransky posted 10 points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes. Satoransky's numbers don't jump off the page, but he is distancing himself from backup Tim Frazier, who only played 17 minutes. With John Wall […]

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter posted a double-double against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday with 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting and 11 rebounds.

D'Angelo Russell Breaks Out For 22 Points Wednesday Night

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell erupted on Wednesday night in a winning effort over Atlantic division-rival Philadelphia.

On […]

The Houston Rockets will have their star point guard Chris Paul (groin) returning Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs, but Houston will be without shooting guard Eric Gordon (back). Gordon filled the starting gig for Paul, but Paul will re-enter the starting lineup without a minutes restriction. Gordon's minutes will likely be divided among […]

C.J. Miles Will Not Play Thursday Night

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) has been ruled out Thursday night against the Washington Wizards. This marks his second straight game out with knee soreness, though the injury is not considered serious. Norman Powell and Fred VanVleet will absorb the extra minutes again, with VanVleet being the better option for DFS contests against a […]

Rodney Hood Set To Miss Sixth Straight Game Friday

Utah Jazz shooting guard Rodney Hood (leg) has already been ruled out of Friday night's contest against the Phoenix Suns. This will mark Hood's sixth straight game missed with a lower leg contusion. Hood has been practicing in limited fashion, but being ruled out a full day before a game is a bit concerning. In […]

JaMychal Green And James Ennis Will Play Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies forwards JaMychal Green (ankle) and James Ennis (calf) will return to game action Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. Green has missed the past five games, while Ennis has missed the past seven. With Green's return, Jarell Martin will return to the bench and lose most of his already limited value. With Ennis […]

C.J. Miles is Questionable on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He did not go through shootaround and has been experiencing some knee soreness. Norman Powell filled in nicely for Miles on Tuesday. He's expected to do the same if Miles is forced to the sidelines again. Powell is not worth […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) will not play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The Hornets have ruled him out early for the second game in a row. He could be out for additional time and is reportedly on the trade block. Frank Kaminsky started on Wednesday, but Treveon Graham saw the increase in […]

Eric Bledsoe Ruled Out Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Malcolm Brogdon, Matthew Dellavedova and […]

Mario Chalmers Ruled Out Thursday

Wayne Selden scored 24 points with six triples in the loss on Wednesday. […]

JaMychal Green is Questionable on Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. He's missed five games in a row but was expected to return this week. Green is expected to play on Sunday if he does sit out on Thursday. Jarell Martin will lose most of his fantasy appeal once Green […]

Eric Gordon Not Expected to Play Thursday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) is not expected to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Gordon has dealt with back issues since 2011, so it is not surprising the injury has crept up on him again. Gerald Green is expected to slide into Gordon's role if he's sidelined. Luc Mbah a […]

Chris Paul Plans to Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (groin) plans to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. He did not play on Tuesday due to a minor groin issue. The Rockets decided to be careful, but Paul downplayed the groin injury himself. There is little reason to believe that Paul would be limited on Thursday, […]

Mason Plumlee Could Be Out 2-4 Weeks

Denver Nuggets forward/center Mason Plumlee (calf) could be out for the next two to four weeks. It's not an official timetable, but it sounds like Plumlee is targeting a return after the All-Star break. Paul Millsap (wrist) is expected to return before that. Trey Lyles is worth owning in the short term while Millsap and […]

Gary Harris is Probable on Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is the first time we're hearing about an ankle issue, but it does not sound too serious at the moment. He's fully expected to start on Thursday, but owners should check back just in case before […]

Blake Griffin Will Start on Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Blake Griffin will make his first appearance with the Pistons in Thursday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll be joined by Ish Smith, Reggie Bullock, Stanley Johnson and Andre Drummond in the starting five. Head coach Stan Van Gundy wants at least Griffin or Drummond on the floor at all times. That […]

Myles Turner is Questionable for Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's played in three straight contests and was finally getting back to full speed. The injuries continue to pile up for Turner. He's now experienced the following injuries this season; knee, elbow, thigh, calf and concussion. Domantas Sabonis […]

Fred VanVleet Ruled Out Thursday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (personal) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. VanVleet played 21 minutes on Tuesday after his wife gave birth on Sunday. It's assumed VanVleet is out on Thursday due to family matters. Delon Wright will see increased minutes as the backup guard. Norman Powell is […]

Nikola Mirotic Traded To Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans have acquired Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic in exchange for center Omer Asik and guards Tony Allen and Jameer Nelson as well as a first-round draft pick. For the Pelicans, this represents a win-now move in the wake of DeMarcus Cousins' season-ending Achilles injury. Mirotic will likely step into the starting lineup and […]

Taj Gibson Has Good Matchup Against Milwaukee

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taj Gibson should see plenty of fantasy points against the Bucks. Milwaukee has struggled around the rim this season, allowing 22 points and 11 boards to opposing power forwards this season. Gibson is having the best season of his career, posting 12 points and seven boards per contest in addition to shooting […]

Kyle Lowry Could See Strong Showing Against Wizards

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry has a favorable matchup against Washington. The Wizards have been one of the most inefficient teams against opposing point guards over the past five games, allowing 31 points, seven assists and 10 boards per 48 minutes. With a projected close and elevated score between the two clubs, Lowry could serve […]

Consider Russell Westbrook on Thursday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook could have a solid outing against Denver. With the matchup between the Thunder and Nuggets projected to be close in nature, high-scoring and fast-paced, Westbrook will be primed for an efficient night. Denver is allowing some of the worst numbers in the league to opposing playmakers over the past […]

Kyle Anderson Has a Favorable Matchup Against Houston

San Antonio Spurs forward Kyle Anderson could be in line for a solid game against the Rockets on Thursday. With the team missing forward Trevor Ariza (hamstring) and possibly guards Eric Gordon (back) and Chris Paul (groin), Anderson will likely be matched up initially with forward Luc Mbah a Moute, who is sporting a defensive […]

Elfrid Payton Bounces Back With Nice Stat Line

Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton filled up the stat sheet in a win against the Lakers on Wednesday. Payton scored 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting, but it was his contributions across the board that were noteworthy. He grabbed seven rebounds, dished out six assists, nabbed four steals and even recorded a block in the […]
