Cleveland Cavaliers guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland will start during the preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. In addition, Isaac Okoro, Jarrett Allen, and the debuting Evan Mobley, who was selected third overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, will join them. Still, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff plans to give minutes to all available players […]

Five Very Deep Forward Sleepers - Fantasy Basketball

Well just like that, NBA Media Day has come and gone in the blink of an eye, and while there was drama (cc. Ben Simmons and Kyrie Irving), seeing Russell Westbrook in a Lakers' jersey just felt official. If Media Day signaled one thing, it's this: The NBA regular season is fast approaching. And with […]

Fantasy Basketball Fallers at Center - 2020-21 Season Review

We're this close to the regular season, and while there is a ton of hype about the incoming rookies (check out all of our NBA Draft analysis here) we still need to reflect on the 2020-2021 season and what happened just a few months back in time. We had another short NBA offseason this year […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers at Center - 2020-21 Season Review

Below is our updated list of injured NBA players for October 5th, 2021. Only players on teams that are scheduled to play today will appear below […]

Nikola Jokic Out For Monday's Exhibition

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) won't suit up for Monday's preseason matchup against the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers. Joker remains away for personal reasons. However, he is expected to return to the team soon to begin practicing. In addition, Will Barton (ankle) is questionable, although he appears to be trending more toward out. In […]

Tobias Harris To Miss Preseason Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) won't be available for the preseason showdown in Toronto against the Raptors. The veteran is dealing with right knee soreness, although at the moment, it isn't anything that will force him to miss the start of the regular season. Philly will also be without Joel Embiid (rest) and Ben […]

Ben Simmons Remains Away From The Team

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (personal) won't play during the preseason opener against the Raptors. Simmons remains away from the team as a potential trade to another organization could be in the works. Still, team officials continue to hold out hope that he will return to Philly for the 2021 campaign. However, until that happens, […]

Zion Williamson Not In The Lineup Against Minnesota

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is out on Monday evening against Minnesota, as expected. Williamson had surgery to repair a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during the offseason. However, despite recently being spotted doing one-on-one work at practice, he is still in danger of not being ready for the […]

Clint Capela Sitting Against Miami

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) won't play on Monday evening against the Heat. The 27-year-old is in danger of missing the start of the regular season as he continues to work his way back from a chronic Achilles issue. A week ago, he received a platelet-rich plasma injection. Still, the team will remain cautious […]

Khem Birch, Gary Trent Jr. Won't Play Against Philly

Toronto Raptors center Khem Birch and guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup on Monday for the preseason opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. Birch remains away from the team while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19, while Trent has been plagued by lingering soreness in his left quad. […]

Joel Embiid Resting On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason matchup in Toronto. It's hardly surprising, mainly since he suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee during the team's postseason matchup against the Washington Wizards only a few months ago. Fortunately, Embiid didn't need surgery, but logically, holding him out for a meaningless […]

Chris Boucher Out For The Preseason Opener

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (finger) won't suit up for the preseason opener against the visiting 76ers. The big man dislocated his left middle finger, so the team will give him the night off and likely a few others heading toward the regular season while he recovers. Pascal Siakam (shoulder) is also rehabbing from surgery, […]

Five Very Deep Guard Sleepers - Fantasy Basketball

It's almost time! After three months with no basketball, the 2021-2022 NBA season is set to tip-off in late October. In the coming days, players and coaches should begin migrating back to their local markets - except for Ben Simmons of course (sorry Sixers fans) - in order to partake in training camp, preseason, and […]

NBA Rookies With The Best Landing Spots

There’s nothing worse than getting uber-excited about a newly-drafted rookie only to see him riding the bench behind some washed-up veteran, right? Well….some of the rookies below might find themselves dealing with a little of that early on in their careers, but be patient! The seven players below all landed in ideal spots for their […]

Tyrese Maxey Operating With First Unit

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was seen operating with the first unit in practice. This is too surprising considering Ben Simmons refuses to show up to camp or play for the Sixers again. It looks like head coach Doc Rivers is considering using Maxey as the starting point guard. Shake Milton should be in the […]

Coby White Gaining Strength In His Shoulder

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (shoulder) has been working on gaining strength in his surgically repaired shoulder. White will miss the beginning of the regular season while rehabbing. The hope is that White will be back on the court by mid-November. White put together a strong campaign in 2020. However, his value is going to […]
