Dejounte Murray, DeMar DeRozan Out On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (rest, knee) and forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) will be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This shouldn't come as a surprise given it's the front end of a back-to-back set. Lonnie Walker IV, Devin Vassell, and Patty Mills should see significant roles in the offense on Sunday. […]

Jakob Poeltl Sitting Out Versus Sixers

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Spurs will rest a handful of their starters. Drew Eubanks played extremely well last time Poeltl was sidelined, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect it to happen […]

Harrison Barnes, Chimezie Metu Ruled Out Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (groin) and center Chimezie Metu (back) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Barnes has been banged up lately, which has been resulting in more playing time for Metu. The Kings are shorthanded here with both of them sidelined on Sunday. Marvin Bagley III and Delon […]

Tristan Thompson Starting Versus Blazers

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson will move into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran center will get the starting nod over Robert Williams. This is likely a matchup move by head coach Brad Stevens, so expect both players to get plenty of minutes. Williams remains the better fantasy […]

LaMelo Ball Remains In Starting Five

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (rest) will remain in the starting five for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. The young guard recently returned from injury, so there was some thought that he'd sit this one out to rest. Despite it being a back-to-back set, Ball will be out there. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable […]

Kevin Durant Posts Another 42-Point Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant recorded a second consecutive 42-point outing on Sunday against Milwaukee, shooting 16-for-33 in a 117-114 loss. He finished 7-for-13 from downtown and 3-for-4 at the charity stripe with 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal. His line also included five turnovers in 40 minutes. The veteran scorer is making things […]

Khris Middleton Has 26-Point, 11-Rebound Double-Double

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton maneuvered his way to a nice double-double in Sunday's win over the Nets, shooting 11-for-21 from the field on his way to 28 points and grabbing 11 rebounds with six assists and two steals. He was 3-for-7 with the three-ball and didn't commit a single turnover in 36 minutes. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Scores Season-High 49 Points Versus Nets

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a season-high 49 points on 21-for-38 shooting in Sunday's 117-114 win over Brooklyn, adding eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal with one turnover in 38 minutes. It was a superb performance from the Greek Freak, who finished 4-for-8 from downtown and dominated on both ends of […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable Versus Blazers

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This team cannot afford to lose Brown with Kemba Walker (oblique) already sidelined for this game. Jayson Tatum would be a must-have DFS option without Brown or Walker on the court. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier, and Aaron […]

Kemba Walker Remains Sidelined Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll miss his fourth game in a row, but the team continues to call him day-to-day. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier, and Payton Pritchard will see more minutes on Sunday. Smart is the best fantasy option out of […]

Devonte' Graham Could Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He was a late scratch from Saturday's contest due to a knee issue. It sounds like he'll test it out pregame and see whether or not he can give it a go. LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk would […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so this is likely just the Mavs giving their veteran a day off. Fantasy managers should expect Hardaway to be fine going forward. Josh Richardson, Jalen Brunson, and Trey […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Questionable Against Suns

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He sat out on Saturday due to a bruised knee and very well could miss this game too. The Thunder have been cautious with injuries, while they tank for draft position. It's hard to imagine anyone on […]

Bobby Portis Late Scratch On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (illness) is a late scratch from Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is unfortunate since Portis has been a decent streaming option lately. It sounds like this is a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully it'll be just a one game absence for Portis. P.J. Tucker will see more minutes […]

Fred VanVleet Scores 30 Points Against Jazz

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet finished with 30 points, seven assists, six rebounds and two steals on 11-for-25 shooting from the field and 4-for-11 from deep in Saturday's 106-102 loss against the Jazz. VanVleet led the way with Kyle Lowry (rest) out of the lineup, while bouncing back from a pair of poor performances against […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Scores 34 Points Against Raptors

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored a team-high 34 points on 12-for-22 shooting from the field, 6-for-11 from three-point range and 4-for-4 from the free throw line in Saturday's 106-102 victory against the Raptors. Bogdanovic added four rebounds and four assists in the contest, while falling one three-pointer short of his season-high of seven that […]

Nikola Jokic Scores 30 Points Against Clippers

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic finished with 30 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and one block on 9-for-17 shooting from the field, 2-for-6 from three-point range and 10-for-10 from the free throw line in Saturday's 110-104 victory against the Clippers. The 26-year-old has scored 30-plus points 19 times on the season, while going a perfect […]

Luka Doncic Records 30-20-10 Line In Victory

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic joined an exclusive list in Saturday's 125-124 victory against the Wizards, as the 22-year-old finished with 31 points, a season-high 20 assists, 12 rebounds, one made three-pointer and just one turnover on 12-for-23 shooting from field goal range in the contest. Doncic's performance helped him join a short list of […]

Zion Williamson Leads Pelicans To Victory

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson played a season-high 41:54 minutes as he finished with 37 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, seven turnovers, one steal and one block in Saturday's 140-136 overtime victory against the Timberwolves. The-20-year-old recorded his fourth-highest single game point total in the contest, while his 82.4% shooting percentage (14-for-17 from the […]

Stephen Curry Scores 30 Points In Blowout Victory

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry finished with 30 points, six rebounds, five assists and one steal on 9-for-23 shooting from the field and 7-for-17 from three-point range in Saturday's 113-87 victory against the Rockets. Curry began the month of May in similar fashion to how he performed all throughout April, where the 33-year-old put […]

The NBA schedule has seven games on the main slate for Sunday night. You'll have a reasonable number of players to choose from and matchups to target. One matchup you should be particularly keen on is the Portland Trailblazers versus the Boston Celtics. Here are three tips on how to attack the overall slate when assembling lineups. […]

Harrison Barnes Likely To Miss Another one

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (hip) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran has been dealing with left Adductor tightness, an injury that will now cause him to miss his third contest in a row. With Chimezie Metu (back) also doubtful, the recently-returned Marvin Bagley III could be in line […]

Darius Garland Doesn’t Suit Up On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) didn't play on Saturday against Miami. The 21-year-old sprained his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Wizards and was replaced against the Heat by Cedi Osman, who finished with a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double. If Garland doesn't suit up on Tuesday against Phoenix, which is possible considering how much […]

Nikola Vucevic Sits Out Against Atlanta

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) did not play on Saturday against the Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with tightness in his right Adductor, an injury that puts him in jeopardy to miss Monday's encounter with Philadelphia. If Vucevic does sit again, look for Daniel Theis to slide back into the starting rotation, with […]

Cameron Johnson Likely To Suit Up On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (wrist) is listed as probable for Sunday's outing against the Thunder. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained right wrist, an ailment that landed him on the league's latest injury report. Johnson is averaging just under 10 points during the 2021 campaign, although that number could be elevated in […]
