Scottie Barnes Removed From Injury Report

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He was rested on Saturday, but Barnes should be back in action here. His return should push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Precious Achiuwa won't have as big of a role with […]

Jerami Grant Likely To Miss Road Trip

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (thumb) is unlikely to return to the team during their four-game road trip. Grant was assigned to the Pistons G-League affiliate on Monday. He will continue to rehab there after undergoing right thumb surgery earlier in the season. Once Grant returns, Hamidou Diallo is expected to shift back to the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Will Attempt To Play

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) will warm up and see if he can play against the Miami Heat on Monday. He has missed each of the last four games due to a left ankle issue. The Raptors could certainly use Trent back on the floor, but fantasy managers will have to wait and […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He tweaked his ankle on Sunday and was unable to return to action. The Suns are going to take the cautious approach here and let Ayton rest. His next chance to get on the court will be […]

Cameron Johnson Likely Returning Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are expected to ease him back into his role. That being said, it's unlikely that Johnson has much fantasy appeal […]

Bam Adebayo Hopeful For Monday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Adebayo has been targeting Monday as his return date after a lengthy absence. In fact, Adebayo has been sidelined since November 29 due to a thumb injury. Fantasy managers should expect Adebayo to be on a minutes limit […]

Norman Powell Not Available Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has cleared from the league's health and safety protocols. However, Powell needs to regain his conditioning, so he'll sit out at least one more game. That means that Ben McLemore and Nassir Little should carry plenty of […]

Hassan Whiteside Won't Play On Monday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside will not suit up for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been sidelined due January 10 due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when he'll get back on the court, but he didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway. Robert Gobert is […]

George Hill Starting Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's not exactly the most attractive DFS option, but is worth a look on Monday. The Bucks don't have a ton of options, so Hill should play minutes into the 30s versus Atlanta. He could be a […]

Onyeka Okongwu Starts On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Clint Capela (ankle) remains sidelined, so Okongwu gets a shot in the starting lineup. He should be worth snagging in most formats as a streaming option right now. Okongwu will play roughly 30 minutes or so with […]

Cam Reddish Out Against Charlotte

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (ankle) won't play on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 22-year-old has yet to make an appearance for his new team after being acquired from the Atlanta Hawks during the week. Additionally, head coach Tom Thibodeau recently indicated that Reddish might be out for "a while" as he continues […]

Nerlens Noel To Miss Monday's Game

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) won't play during Monday's matinee against the visiting Hornets. Noel didn't suit up on Saturday because of left knee soreness, and he has now only played in one game since December 23. Mitchell Robinson should receive some additional minutes in the middle. However, Taj Gibson may continue see […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Out For Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. remains listed as out ahead of Monday's matchup in New York. The veteran has missed his previous three games while adhering to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. His next chance to make it back will come on Wednesday in Boston. However, in the meantime, Cody Martin could […]

Marcus Smart Out On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart won't play on Monday against New Orleans after entering COVID-19 health and safety protocols. The veteran has also been dealing with a thigh issue, and he is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive outing. As a result, Dennis Schroder will likely take his place once again, with the […]

Marvin Bagley III Out On Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) won't play on Sunday against the Rockets. He is dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, an unfortunate development considering how well he's played as of late. Luckily, the team will get Richaun Holmes back after he missed over a month due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, […]

Tyrese Haliburton Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Sunday. He won't play against the Rockets, and a few more absences are likely as well. The 21-year-old is averaging 13.7 points, 7.1 assists and 1.7 steals this season, so replacing him won't be easy. However, De'Aaron Fox will likely be […]

Richaun Holmes To Return On Sunday Night

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes will return on Sunday evening against the visiting Rockets. The big man hasn't played in over a month while navigating his way through COVID-19 protocols. However, he should get some meaningful work versus Houston, especially with Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) and Tristan Thompson (illness) both out.

Lonzo Ball To Miss Another Game Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) won't play on Monday during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee game against the Grizzlies. The 24-year-old is currently battling left knee soreness, an injury that forced him to miss Saturday's matchup versus the Boston Celtics. With Zach LaVine (knee) out as well, Coby White will likely fill […]

Zach LaVine Avoids Serious Injury

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) underwent an MRI on Saturday morning. Fortunately, the results were encouraging, showing no signs of structural damage. The veteran injured his left knee during the first quarter of Friday's blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors and will be re-evaluated in about a week. While LaVine isn't expected to […]

Marquese Chriss Inks Two-Year Deal With Mavs

Forward/center Marquese Chriss signed a two-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran has appeared in 13 games for the team already this season, averaging 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds throughout 11.3 minutes of work. However, unless Kristaps Porzingis or Maxi Kleber were to succumb to an injury at some point, Chriss doesn't possess much […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Waived By Mavs

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein has been waived. The 28-year-old big man hasn't played since late November because of personal reasons, though he was only averaging just under 10 minutes per game. The Mavs signed veteran Marquese Chriss, who has averaged 6.5 points and 3.7 boards throughout 13 games with the club this year to […]

Kevin Durant Out At Least A Month

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) will miss at least a month. The former MVP sustained a sprained left MCL during Saturday's win over New Orleans, and he will now be on the shelf for four-to-six weeks. The 33-year-old has played well this year, averaging 29.3 points, 7.4 boards, and 5.8 assists. However, his workload […]

Rudy Gobert Returns For Sunday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert will return for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gobert has missed each of the last four games while following the league's health and safety protocols. He has finally cleared protocols and can return to action against Nikola Jokic on Sunday. This is huge for the Jazz who desperately needed […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play Against Knicks

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. This is not a good sign with the Hawks already shorthanded for Saturday's game. Kevin Huerter, Danilo Gallinari (Achilles), and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will all see increased roles with Bogdanovic out. Gallinari is a little banged up, but […]

Derrick White Will Play Versus Clippers

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White will be available for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, so he'll be available on Saturday. Although, head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned White could come off the bench and have a minutes limit. That being said, he might not […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out Versus Knicks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Capela will miss his fourth game in a row due to an ankle issue. Onyeka Okongwu should move into the starting five again with Capela sidelined. He could have some deep league appeal, but hasn't […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Not Available On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is also sidelined, so the Nets are going to be shorthanded in the front court. Aldridge will miss his fifth straight game here and can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. […]

Kemba Walker Not Playing Against Hawks

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker is currently not with the organization due to his left knee soreness. Although, it's a one-game road trip, so possibly Walker returns next game. His next chance to play would be Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. […]

Kyrie Irving Unavailable For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't be available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Irving is ineligible to play home games due to his vaccination status. There are rumors that Irving could become a full-time player soon, but who knows when that will happen. Until then, James Harden and Kevin Durant will […]

Matisse Thybulle, Danny Green Ruled Out Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) and forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Thybulle took a fall during Friday's game and was forced out of that contest. As a result, Thybulle will miss at least Saturday's game. Green has been dealing with lingering hip pain for […]
