Kevin Durant Out For Rest Of Friday's Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant has been ruled out of the remainder of Friday's game against the Raptors due to the league's health and safety protocols. Durant missed the beginning of the game but was cleared to return and did. Now, he's back out. It's a confusing situation that seems to make no sense -- […]

Rudy Gay Off Saturday's Injury Report

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (hip) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. Gay missed San Antonio's last game and has played under 20 minutes in three of his last four appearances, making it tough to usually trust him in DFS. But with Lonnie Walker IV (illness) already […]

Devonte' Graham Questionable To Return

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (groin) is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Graham had 11 points before exiting. The Hornets had just gotten Terry Rozier back, so if there was ever a time for them to be able to weather a possible Graham injury, this would be the time. Malik […]

Frank Kaminsky Starting Over Cameron Johnson

Phoenix Suns center/forward Frank Kaminsky will start Friday against the Pistons, with forward Cameron Johnson moving to the bench. Starting two centers is a strange move for the Suns, but against a Pistons team that tends to play big, it makes slightly more sense. Kaminsky is averaging 5.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in […]

Saddiq Bey Starting On Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey gets the start on Friday against the Phoenix Suns with Wayne Ellington (calf) ruled out. Bey hasn't been the most consistent player as a rookie, but he does have a double-double earlier in the season. He won't be a slam-dunk play in DFS, but if you're looking for a value […]

Jonas Valanciunas Not On Saturday's Injury Report

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jonas Valanciunas is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Pelicans. Valanciunas hasn't played since Jan. 16 due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he is averaging 14.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game this year. His return will mean reduced minutes for both Xavier Tillman […]

Lauri Markkanen Goes To The Locker Room On Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen has gone to the locker room with a shoulder injury during Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Denzel Valentine checked in for Markkanen and would likely see the largest boost in stats if Markkanen is forced to miss times. With the Bulls already down multiple forwards due to injury, this […]

Abdel Nader Available Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Abdel Nader (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. With Jae Crowder (foot) out, Nader could see 20 minutes or so off the bench. He's not on the fantasy radar in season-long leagues, but there's some appeal as a super-cheap DFS punt play on the […]

Paul George Ruled Out For Friday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. With Patrick Beverley (knee) still out as well, the Clips will be a little undermanned against Boston. While Luke Kennard could see more minutes, the real fantasy winner of this is probably guard Reggie Jackson, who has […]

Kevin Durant Cleared To Play Friday

Updating a previous report, Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant has been cleared from the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and can play Friday against the Raptors. However, with the game already started, fantasy managers can't really do much about this, as Durant was either in your lineups or on your benches. Bruce Brown started […]

Bruce Brown Starting On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown is starting Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors after Kevin Durant was scratched from the starting lineup due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's worth nothing Durant wasn't ruled out and could still be cleared to play, which puts a pretty big damper on Brown's DFS upside. If […]

Kevin Durant Won't Start Due To Health and Safety Protocols

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will not start for the Nets on Friday against Toronto due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's unclear if Durant will play at all, as it appears the team is awaiting further updates to see if he's available. It's a really tough situation, as fantasy managers won't know […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out, Wayne Ellington Unlikely To Play

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (rest) won't play on Friday against the Phoenix Suns, while guard/forward Wayne Ellington (calf) is unlikely to play. With Rose out, there a few options for players who might see more playing time, but the most likely two are Rodney McGruder and Saddiq Bey. Neither has been doing a ton […]

LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier Both In Starting Five

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is back for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz, but that doesn't mean rookie guard LaMelo Ball is heading to the bench. Charlotte will start both players plus Devonte' Graham in what's essentially a three point guard lineup. It's a weird look, but should help the Hornets spread the […]

Jae Crowder Ruled Out Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (foot) will not play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Crowder was doubtful with foot soreness so this does not come as a surprise, but appears like a short-term injury. Head coach Monty Williams noted Crowder is more of a "day-to-day, game-to-game" type of situation right now. While Crowder is out […]
