Patrick Williams Available For Friday's Contest

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He injured his shoulder while diving for a loose ball during Wednesday's season opener. Williams is not expected to be limited at all and should be in the starting lineup for this one. He tallied just six points and […]

Terry Rozier Likely To Suit Up On Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) mentioned he is 98 percent sure he'll play during Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed Wednesday's season opener due to a left ankle sprain. However, it sounds like Rozier is progressing well and should suit up for this game. His return would mean less minutes for Kelly […]

Danuel House Jr. Removed From Injury Report

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He missed Wednesday's contest following the birth of his daughter. Despite missing the season opener, it sounds like House will be ready to play on Friday. His return should mean less minutes […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 10/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

The NBA season doesn't officially start until some unpredictable nonsense happens, and Thursday night we had two examples. The defending champions, albeit, missing a few players, were trounced by the Miami Heat and Steph Curry dropped 45 points on the Los Angeles Clippers. Not many people saw the Warriors beating both the Lakers and Clippers […]

Stephen Curry Scores 45 Points In Win Over Clippers

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was scorching hot in the team's 115-113 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.

Luka Doncic Has Mediocre Start To The Season

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic stayed quiet in the team's season opener on Thursday, finishing a 113-87 loss to the Hawks with 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. These would be very good numbers for most people not named Luka Doncic, but the Mavs star is capable of so much more in 35 […]

Clint Capela Gets A Double-Double In Just 21 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela needed only 21 minutes of action to record a nice 12-point, 13-rebound double-double in Thursday's 113-87 win over Dallas. He also had a pair of blocks, while committing one turnover and shooting a perfect 6-or-6 from the field. Capela is coming back from an Achilles injury and his minutes are […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returns To Play After Injury

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) briefly left Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but returned to play. Dedmon got a little banged up during the game, but was initially ruled as probable to return so there should not be much worry about the injury itself. Dedmon is the primary backup to Bam Adebayo and […]

Kyle Lowry Returns To The Game Thursday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) has returned to the game Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lowry briefly went to the locker room after turning his ankle on the ankle of Grayson Allen. Lowry did not miss much time and is good to go for the remainder of the game. It remains to be […]

Kyle Lowry Briefly Leaves Game Thursday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) went to the locker room during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but has returned to the bench. Lowry twisted his ankle on a drive and immediately limped off into the locker room. The good news is Lowry did not stay for long and was quickly back on […]

Maurice Harkless Questionable Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Maurice Harkless (hip) is questionable to play against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Harkless started in the season opener on Wednesday and likely got banged up in his 22 minutes of play. Harkless does not have much fantasy appeal, even as a starter, but his absence would likely pave the way to […]

Josh Richardson May Make Boston Debut Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Josh Richardson (migraine) is listed as probable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Richardson missed the season opener on Wednesday due to the migraine, but all signs point to him making his debut in green on Friday. The Celtics has put a lot of trust into Richardson by giving him a […]

Marcus Smart Probable To Play Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) is probable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Smart was a little banged up after the double overtime thriller against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, but looks like he will be able to play through any soreness. If Smart is limited or has a setback, Payton Pritchard […]

Josh Hart Questionable To Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Josh Hart (quad) is questionable to play Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Hart left Wednesday's game with what appeared to be a knee injury in just 10 minutes of play. Hart was diagnosed with tendonitis in his right quad and is now in danger of missing Friday's game. If Hart is […]

Ben Simmons Doubtful For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (personal) is being listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Simmons saga continues as the Sixers look to trade him somewhere. GM Daryl Morey is looking for a "difference maker" in return for Simmons which will be difficult given the latest drama. Simmons is likely going […]

Taj Gibson May Miss Friday

New York Knicks forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) is listed as questionable for Friday against the Orlando Magic. Gibson missed the season opener due to personal reasons, but has a chance to return to the team in time for Friday's game. The Knicks are thin at center with Nerlens Noel (knee) out and mostly used Julius […]

Justin Holiday Questionable Again Friday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Justin Holiday (ankle) is questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Friday. Holiday was also questionable to play on Wednesday and ended up playing 26 minutes as a starter. Holiday is likely more probable than questionable for this one, unless he suffered a setback. If he ends up being limited or […]

Rui Hachimura Ruled Out Friday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) will miss Friday's game against the Pacers due to a personal issue. Hachimura, away from the team since the start of training camp, is without a clear timetable for return. Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Deni Avdija should all continue to see added minutes while Hachimura is absent. Kuzma, […]

Darius Garland Listed As Questionable Against Hornets Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's tilt against the Hornets. Garland briefly limped off the court with an ankle injury during Wednesday's game but was able to play 32 minutes while putting up a team-high 15 shots and dishing out 12 dimes. Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio would be […]
