Fred Vanvleet Upgraded To Questionable

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was able to practice on Tuesday after being sidelined recently due to COVID-19. It sounds like Vanvleet is getting closer to playing, but it's uncertain if he'll suit up for Wednesday. Norman Powell would gain the most […]

Victor Oladipo Won't Play Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see Oladipo sitting out. His absence will be more minutes for Kevin Porter Jr. and Sterling Brown. Porter is expected to see heavy minutes […]

Danuel House Jr., Ben McLemore Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) and guard Ben McLemore (ankle) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. House has missed five straight games, so another absence wouldn't be shocking. Jae'sean Tate and Kevin Porter Jr. would benefit the most, assuming House is out again. McLemore missed Tuesday's game, […]

Kemba Walker, Tristan Thompson Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) and center Tristan Thompson have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics continue to be cautious with Walker and Thompson is out due to the NBA's health and safety guidelines. Marcus Smart, Payton Pritchard, and Jeff Teague will be asked to split up the […]

Jimmy Butler Could Miss Wednesday's Contest

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Heat are already shorthanded, so losing Butler would be a significant hit to their rotation. Honestly, knowing Butler, he'll play through the pain if he can, but we'll see what happens. Tyler Herro, KZ Okpala, and Max […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Doubtful For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavs would likely ask Tim Hardaway Jr. to soak up a majority of the minutes if Finney-Smith cannot play. Hardaway has played well when he is in the starting five, so DFS players should take note […]

Terrence Ross Questionable Versus Knicks

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Losing Ross would be a shame considering he has dropped 59 points combined over his last two games. His absence would mean significant minutes for Dwayne Bacon and Michael Carter-Williams. Neither of them are reliable enough to […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Play On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Meyers Leonard Traded To Thunder

Miami Heat forward Meyers Leonard has reportedly been traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Miami will send Leonard and a 2027 second-round pick to OKC in exchange for veteran forward Trevor Ariza.
