Chris Paul, Jae Crowder Headline Suns Questionable Wednesday

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (hamstring), small/power forward Jae Crowder (foot), and small forward Abdel Nader (ankle) have all been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus Milwaukee.

Jaylen Brown Will Suit Up For Tuesday’s Contest

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been cleared to return for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, stemming his absence due to knee soreness at two contests.

Jrue Holiday Won't Travel With Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday will not travel with the team for their upcoming matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

Kyrie Irving Probable For Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (finger) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Victor Oladipo Resting On Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Derrick White Resting On Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Spurs are giving White a routine rest day here after his rough shooting night on Monday. Fantasy managers should continue to hold him through this slump. Lonnie Walker IV (illness) and Patty Mills will both […]

Devonte' Graham Ruled Out For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He continues to be ruled out a day in advance, which means Graham is likely going to miss more time. LaMelo Ball has been outstanding since joining the starting five. He's a must-have fantasy option right now and […]
