Richaun Holmes Listed As Out On Official Injury Report
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (knee) is listed as out on the league's official injury report. While some reports have surfaced that he will test things out before opening tip against the Heat, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss his second-straight contest. With Holmes out, Marvin Bagley III will see some time in […]

Goran Dragic Out Again On Thursday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) is out for Thursday's matchup against the Kings. The veteran didn't travel with the team for its West Coast road trip, so his absence was expected all along. Without Dragic in the lineup, the team will continue to roll with Kendrick Nunn at the one, opening the door for […]

LeBron James Probable Against Nets
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is considered probable for Thursday's meeting against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran has been dealing with the ailment for quite some time but has still managed to play, so his designation shouldn't come as a surprise. With Brooklyn giving up points at historic levels, the former MVP should […]

Mike Conley Remains Questionable
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for Friday night’s matchup against the Clippers. The veteran has been dealing with tightness in the area and has missed his previous six contests as a result. If he remains out, Donovan Mitchell should continue to see a bump in usage running things at the point, with […]

Nicolas Batum Questionable On Friday Night
Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's meeting against Utah. The veteran has missed his previous two outings, opening the door for Serge Ibaka and Marcus Morris to see a dramatic increase in minutes. Batum is averaging 9.7 points, 1.4 steals, and shooting 45.6 percent from deep during the […]

Draymond Green Questionable Against Orlando
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Magic. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his right ankle, an injury that forced him to miss Wednesday's encounter with the Miami Heat. If he is ruled out again, look for Eric Paschall and Kent Bazemore to potentially see […]

Ben Simmons Likely To Suit Up On Friday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) is likely to play on Friday night against the Bulls. The 24-year-old missed Wednesday's game against the visiting Rockets while dealing with the flu, which opened the door for added production from Seth Curry, Tobias Harris, and Danny Green. With Simmons potentially back in the lineup, look for Matisse […]

Kyle Lowry Out At Least Two Games
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) will miss the team's next two games against the Bucks and Timberwolves and could miss more action beyond that, according to head coach Nick Nurse. With the veteran out of the equation, look for Fred Vanvleet to potentially slide to the one spot, likely resulting in a noticeable bump […]

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Cleared To Play On Thursday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) is available to play on Thursday against the Lakers. The 25-year-old has dealt with soreness in his right knee, but he has managed to play through it. However, with an average of just over seven points per outing and a potential minutes cap, he should be considered a dart […]

Kyrie Irving Officially Active Against Lakers
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (back) will play on Thursday night against the Lakers. The veteran had the night off on Tuesday while he dealt with tightness in his lower back, which opened the door for James Harden to monopolize the offense against the Suns. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) still out of the equation, Irving […]

Lauri Markkanen Dealing With Discomfort
Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) has been doing some conditioning, but mentioned he is also dealing with discomfort. It was announced in early February that Markkanen would miss possibly a month of action due to a shoulder issue. It's not shocking that he is dealing with discomfort, but the Bulls might bring him along […]

Kevon Looney Could Return Soon
Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (ankle) could return to the rotation by the end of the current road trip, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Looney has been sidelined since early February, but has been making progress during practice. He doesn't offer much fantasy value, but is much-needed depth for the Warriors. James Wiseman […]

Paul Millsap Remains Sidelined
Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (knee) could be in danger of missing more playing time. Head coach Mike Malone mentioned that the team is still awaiting results from tests before they determine how long Millsap will be sidelined. He has missed each of the last two games and is likely going to be out even […]

Shake Milton Appears To Be Making Progress
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (ankle) was able to go through an on-court workout before Wednesday's contest. He sat out that contest, which was his fourth straight game on the sideline. It sounds like Milton is making progress, but the team has not given a timetable for his return. There hasn't been a huge winner […]

James Ennis Expected To Play Friday
Orlando Magic forward James Ennis (groin) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He has missed each of the last two games, but will hopefully be available for this one. His return would mean less playing time for Dwayne Bacon. However, neither of […]

Evan Fournier Probable Versus Warriors
Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has missed 14 games this season due to back spasms, but was able to suit up on Wednesday. He played 31 minutes in the win over the Knicks, so hopefully Fournier can get out there on […]

Kyle Lowry Could Miss Thursday's Contest
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle, thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered a sprained ankle on Tuesday and also injured his thumb on his non-shooting hand. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors take the cautious approach here. That being said, Fred Vanvleet would see his […]

Taurean Prince Remains Out Of Practice
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) has missed each of the last two practices due to injury. That puts him in danger of sitting out of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Cavs have not released their injury report yet, but the fact Prince has missed two straight practices isn't a good sign. Cedi […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Gets In Some Practice
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) has been able to go through portions of practices, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. The team has not given many updates on Jackson, so this is better than nothing. He still remains without a timetable and is not expected back until at least after the All-Star break. […]

Covington filled up the box score with 12 points, eight rebounds, four blocks, two steals, two triples, and an assist in 38 minutes of action against the Pelicans.

The Fantasy Basketball Drop List: Week 9
Normally I'd talk about basketball here, but I'll be honest: I haven't watched basketball over the past few days because my power has been intermittent here in Texas. I've got a nice window of having power right now so I can write this, but I can't really tell you much about what's going on in […]
