Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton (illness) is active for Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns. Barton was a game-time decision with an illness, but feels good to go after going through warmups. Season-long owners can feel confident activating Barton, however, he may be a risky option in DFS. If Barton is limited at all […]

Tyson Chandler Resting, Greg Monroe Will Start

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (rest) is out Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets. The Suns are on the second night of a back-to-back and will give the veteran Chandler a day off.

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (ankle) stated he will play in Wednesday night's game against the Detroit Pistons. Miami has yet to give an official ruling for Johnson, but he seems ready to return from his three-game absence. Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra already named Kelly Olynyk starting power forward, so Johnson will most likely […]

Joel Embiid Officially Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Sixers center Joel Embiid (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday night's contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

Caris LeVert is Out on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. This will mark the first game of the season that LeVert has been inactive.

Kyle Kuzma is Available Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (quadriceps) is available to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. He's been dealing with a lingering quad issue since last week but has yet to miss any time on the court. After an incredible start to the season, Kuzma has come back down to earth. Over the […]

Brook Lopez Will Return Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez (ankle) will be available to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

Andre Iguodala Out On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (back) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

Omri Casspi (back) will get the night off as well, but both are expected to be able […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Miami Heat. This will be Johnson's second straight game on the sidelines.

Avery Bradley Will Play Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) will play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Bradley has missed the last seven games with a groin issue. It's safe to assume that Bradley will be working with some sort of minutes limit on Wednesday. Anthony Tolliver is expected to head back to the bench and play with […]

James Johnson Questionable Against Pistons

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Johnson was a full participant at shootaround and is likely headed towards a game-time decision. He's missed six of the last seven contests due to an ankle issue.

Joel Embiid Remains Doubtful on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (hand) is doubtful to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He did not participate in shootaround, and is likely going to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest. If Embiid sits, Ben Simmons will benefit the most and should see a spike in usage. Richaun Holmes will see […]

Nikola Mirotic is Probable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (ribs) is probable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was listed as questionable in the game notes but has now been upgraded to probable. It's always tough to trust the game notes, so owners will need to wait until head coach Fred Hoiberg addresses the media prior […]

Kent Bazemore Delivers 20 Points Against Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks forward Kent Bazemore exceeded expectations against the Suns on Tuesday night. Bazemore had 20 points on an accurate 7-for-8 from the field and 4-for-5 from deep.

Taurean Prince Has a Night to Forget

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince played horrendously in the loss to the Phoenix Suns. Prince shot 2-for-14 from the field, coming away with only nine points, and was also cold from behind the arc, going 1-for-7 on the night. Though he is outperforming his numbers from last season by far, his inconsistent nature is enough […]

Atlanta Hawks power forward Ersan Ilyasova led his team in scoring despite narrowly losing to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Ilyasova was efficient, scoring 21 points on 7-for-15 from the field and 3-for-7 from behind the arc. He was also busy on the glass, pulling down nine rebounds, leaving him just short of a […]
