Maxi Kleber, Reggie Bullock Active On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (knee) and guard Reggie Bullock (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. However, neither player is expected to bring much to the table in this game. Kristaps Porzingis is back, which means Kleber won't be a recommended streaming option. Bullock normally gets significant playing time, but doesn't […]

CJ Elleby, Dennis Smith Jr. Available On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guards CJ Elleby (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The Blazers are finally getting healthy, so neither of these players have too much value. Elleby is likely only going to play minutes in the teens going forward. Smith has shown flashes during […]

Tyus Jones Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Tyus Jones has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Milwaukee.

Devonte' Graham Uncertain For Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He hasn't looked the same lately and continues struggling with his shot. Graham has been dealing with left ankle soreness, so possibly that's why he is struggling from the floor. His absence would likely be filled […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Play Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to get through Wednesday's practice, so the team has ruled him out a full day in advance. JaVale McGee should be asked to make another start with Bismack Biyombo getting more playing time. Right now, […]

Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball Will Miss Next Four Games

Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Zach LaVine (knee) and point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) have been ruled out for the team's upcoming four-contest stretch due to respective knee ailments.

Rudy Gay Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Utah Jazz small/power forward Rudy Gay (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right heel soreness. Gay's absence figures to open up more offensive usage among the second unit for Jordan Clarkson and Eric Paschall, although Utah's rotations stand to be in flux with Donovan Mitchell (concussion) also missing […]

Kelly Olynyk Likely To Play Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is expected to play during Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has not suited up for a game since November 10, so there could be some rust. It'll be interesting to see how Olynyk fits back into the rotation after all this time. Trey Lyles has been playing […]

Killian Hayes Doubtful For Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hip) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a right hip contusion during Tuesday's contest.

Nicolas Batum Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

LA Clippers power forward Nicolas Batum was placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Denver.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Gets Green Light To Play Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's contest vs. Boston, stemming his absence under the league's health and safety protocols at four games.

Alex Caruso Returns To Action For Wednesday’s Contest

Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Alex Caruso has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's game vs. Cleveland, marking his first game action since Dec. 20.

Norman Powell Remains Unavailable For Wednesday’s Game

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Miami due to personal reasons, marking his sixth consecutive absence.

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Jalen Suggs has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest vs. the 76ers, marking his first start since Nov. 29.

Robert Williams III, Marcus Smart Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) and point guard Marcus Smart have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. Charlotte. Williams' absence will mark his second in a row, paving the way for Grant Williams to stick with the starting five and serve as an upside DFS option. Smart's absence has now climbed to five […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Remains Unavailable For Wednesday’s Game

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Philadelphia, marking his seventh straight absence due to a sore left hamstring. It sounds as if Carter is progressing toward a return, but without him in the frontcourt, DFS managers can eye Moritz Wagner as a GPP option. Carter […]

Tyler Herro Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Portland.

Marcus Smart, Aaron Nesmith Questionable To Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart and small forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Hornets. Smart has missed the past four outings under the league's health and safety protocols, but he could be ready for a return to game action, which would strengthen Boston's backcourt. Getting […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Portland due to personal reasons. Lowry's absence is his second in a row, paving the way for Gabe Vincent to see increased run and Jimmy Butler to enjoy elevated assists upside. Lowry has been an assist dynamo in his own […]

Donovan Mitchell Lands In Concussion Protocol, Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Houston after having been placed in the league's concussion protocol Tuesday. The blow in question reportedly happened just prior to halftime of the team's loss to the Lakers on Monday, although Mitchell finished the outing, albeit shooting 6-for-19 overall, including […]

Jrue Holiday Draws Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest vs. Memphis due to a sore left ankle.

Kemba Walker Returns For Tuesday’s Game, Will Start

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Tuesday's contest vs. the Timberwolves.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) and point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) have been ruled inactive ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Minnesota.

Nerlens Noel Remains Unavailable For Tuesday’s Game

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. Minnesota as he continues to battle a sore left knee.

Desmond Bane, Kyle Anderson Land In COVID-19 Protocols

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Desmond Bane and small/power forward Kyle Anderson have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely. Bane has been a breakout sensation in his second season, with his scoring average climbing up to 17.7 PPG in addition to shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc. Anderson […]

Myles Turner Will Miss At Least Two Weeks Of Action

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (foot) will be shut down for at least the next two weeks as he deals with a stress reaction in his left foot. The move comes at a particularly inopportune time for both the team and Turner ahead of the Trade Deadline, with the big man's league-leading 2.8 blocks per […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Available On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Trent attempted to warm up for this contest, but the swelling in his left ankle continues to bother him. That means, Trent will miss his fifth straight game, but seems closer to a return. Fred VanVleet and […]

Duncan Robinson Moves Into Starting Lineup

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kyle Lowry (personal) will be unavailable for this contest, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. His absence should mean more minutes for Robinson, Strus, and possibly Caleb Martin. Robinson is a shaky fantasy option due […]

Bam Adebayo Will Play Against Raptors

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) will make his return to the court on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. He has been sidelined since November 29 due to a right thumb injury. It's uncertain if the Heat plan to ease Adebayo back into action. Regardless, fantasy managers in season long formats can go ahead and […]
