Tristan Thompson To Play In "Small Bursts" Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson will play in "short bursts" on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Thompson is returning to play after sitting since March 14, and head coach Brad Stevens does not want to push the veteran big man in his return. Thompson is nothing more than a rebounding streamer at this point with […]

Rui Hachimura Available To Play Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (shoulder) is good to go for Wednesday's game against Orlando. Hachimura missed the last two games with right shoulder tightness but was given the green light to return to the court. He should be on his normal minutes' count, which would be good news for his fantasy value, given that […]

Brandon Ingram, Kira Lewis Jr. Out Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) and forward Brandon Ingram (foot) are both out Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Ingram appears closer to making a return, but will miss his fifth-straight game while Lewis will miss his second straight. The Pelicans have lost three of the past four games without Ingram and are […]

Bradley Beal A Game-Time Decision Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest with the Magic. Beal has been a game-time call the past few games and has missed each of them. He'll likely test out his hip in the pregame shootarounds, though don't be surprised if he's forced to miss another one. Russell Westbrook […]

Malcolm Brogdon To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brogdon is still dealing with a hip injury and does not have a concrete timetable to return, but it should be sooner rather than later. Brogdon's absence has opened the door for Edmond Sumner to start, but T.J. […]

Myles Turner And Domantas Sabonis Out Against T-Wolves

Indiana Pacers big men Myles Turner (ankle) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will both sit Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sabonis will miss his second straight game with an ankle sprain and has not practiced since suffering the injury. Turner also suffered an ankle sprain Tuesday night and will miss his first game with the ailment. […]

Zach LaVine, Coby White, Lauri Markkanen Probable Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) and guard Coby White (neck) are considered probable for Thursday's contest with the Raptors. Forward Lauri Markkanen (leg) is also probable. All three have been able to play through their respective ailments- and should be expected to do so again on Thursday. LaVine and White have struggled with their […]

Jeremy Lamb Available To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (toe) will play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lamb was questionable on the second leg of a back-to-back, but appears good to go after testing his toe out before tip-off. Lamb is coming off a 15-points and career-high six steals performance in 25 minutes on Tuesday and should get around […]

Larry Nance Jr. Out Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Thunder. Nance has missed the team's recent road trip as he battles a non-COVID illness, which has caused him to lose weight. The 28-year-old may have to miss a couple of more games as he works to get his […]

Paul Millsap Resting On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (rest) will not play on Wednesday against the Spurs. Millsap is being rested for the second half of the team's back-to-back. With the veteran forward sidelined, expect some heavy minutes for Aaron Gordon and added opportunities off the bench for JaMychal Green. Gordon becomes a slightly more appealing DFS play- […]

Clint Capela Questionable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Capela has yet to miss a game as he deals with a sore left Achilles, though the team could opt to play it safe on the second night of a back-to-back. If Capela is out, Onyeka Okongwu and Bruno […]

Dejounte Murray Available To Play Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (foot) is available for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets. Murray missed one game, but his ability to get through Wednesday morning's shootaround setback-free was a great sign for his availability. It's a fairly tough matchup against Denver, though Murray has played well lately, particularly on the defensive end, and […]

Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Risers - Week 15

We’re in the final weeks of the regular season in most fantasy leagues. Hopefully, you’re still in the fight. If not, it’s always good practice to make sure to stay tuned to the trends to prepare yourself for next year. Two of the four players featured this week were major beneficiaries from the trade deadline […]

Danilo Gallinari Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is a shame considering Gallinari has been playing really well lately. Sadly, the injuries continue to pile up for Gallinari and hinder his fantasy value. His absence would likely mean more playing time for Tony Snell and […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play Against Minnesota

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was able to practice on Monday, but was held out of Tuesday's contest. Possibly, the Pacers were just being cautious and didn't want Brogdon to play in both games. Indiana has a handful of players that are […]

Myles Turner Could Sit Out Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He left Tuesday's game due to an ankle issue and was unable to return. The Pacers have a handful of players banged up heading into this contest. Goga Bitadze and Jakarr Sampson could become favorable streaming options, assuming […]

John Wall Expects To Play On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) said that he expects to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He sounded confident after shootaround that he'd be ready to play in this game. Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to lose a considerable amount of playing time with Wall back. It's worth noting that Wall […]

De'Anthony Melton Sitting Out Versus Hawks

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton (leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He will now miss both games of the back-to-back set due to leg soreness. His absence will mean more playing time for Desmond Bone and Grayson Allen. Neither of them are reliable streaming choices, but Bone is the […]

Brandon Ingram Questionable Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last four games due to foot soreness. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Pelicans give Ingram another game off in a tough matchup versus Kevin Durant. His absence would likely […]

Michael Carter-Williams, Cole Anthony Returning On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guards Michael Carter-Williams (illness) and Cole Anthony (ribs) are both available for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Carter-Williams has missed each of the last three games due to a non-COVID related illness. Anthony has not played in over two months, but is expected to suit up here. It's unclear if either player […]

Brandon Clarke Remains Out Versus Hawks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He will miss both games of the back-to-back set due to calf soreness. Xavier Tillman, Kyle Anderson, and Jonas Valanciunas will be asked to split up the playing time. Valanciunas has the most upside out of the three, […]

Khem Birch Available Versus Wizards

Orlando Magic forward Khem Birch (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. However, the arrival of Wendell Carter Jr. has killed any momentum for Birch in Orlando. The team is likely going to stick with the young […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (4/7/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

There has to be some type of rebound from yesterday's contests with nine games Wednesday. The Warriors close win over the Bucks semi-salvaged what was an otherwise boring night of blowouts across the slate, not to mention five teams are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The way things have been going, unpredictability has […]

Jrue Holiday Leads Bucks With 29 Points In Tuesday's Loss

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday led his team with 29 points scored in a losing effort to the Warriors on Tuesday night. Holiday added five assists, four triples, three boards, and a steal in 34 minutes of action. He did have a season-high eight turnovers but made up for it to some extent with his […]

Khris Middleton Drops 28 Points With Seven Dimes

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton bounced back on the offensive end of the floor in Tuesday's 122-121 loss to the Warriors. Middleton scored 28 points with seven assists, two rebounds, two triples, and a steal in 37 minutes. After struggling to just 4-for-16 shooting from the field in his last outing- Middleton was a model […]

Jimmy Butler Scores Very Efficient 28 Points

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler missed only five of 16 shots during a 28-point performance in Tuesday's home loss against Memphis. He was 5-for-6 with his free throws and added five assists, three rebounds, and two steals to his line with one turnover in 35 minutes. Butler's efficiency from the field was poor at […]

Stephen Curry Goes Off For 41 Points And Five Threes

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry stayed red-hot in Tuesday's win over the Bucks. Curry poured in a game-high 41 points on 14-for-21 shooting from the field and 5 of 10 shooting from distance while sinking 8 of 9 free throws. He added six boards and four assists in 38 minutes. It was a nice […]

Jonas Valanciunas Continues To Rack Up Double-Doubles

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas had a 20-10 game in Tuesday's win over Miami, notching his 28th double-double of the season. He made his only attempt from outside and shot 7-for-9 overall from the field and 5-for-5 at the charity stripe. Valanciunas also collected one steal. The big Lithuanian puts an 11-game double-double streak on […]
