Bogdan Bogdanovic Diagnosed With Avulsion Fracture In Knee

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been diagnosed with an avulsion fracture in his right knee. It has also been reported his knee has some soft tissue inflammation and a bone bruise while there is no timetable for his return. This is a huge blow for the Hawks who are in the midst of […]

Lou Williams Shows Signs Of Life

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams has had a disappointing start to the season, but he played an important part in Sunday's 130-127 win over Chicago, notching 21 points off the bench on 6-for-10 shooting. Williams, who went 8-for-9 at the line, played a major role defensively as well with four steals, one of which […]

Wesley Matthews Out Sunday With Achilles Soreness

Los Angeles Lakers guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) will not play Sunday against the Houston Rockets. Matthews had surgery on his left Achilles before, but this is only soreness in his right Achilles and there is nothing suggesting this is more than a rest day. Matthews will look to get back on the court Tuesday while […]

Josh Okogie Will Play On A Minutes Limit Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will come off the bench Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Okogie has missed the past six games with the injury and will have a strict minutes limit Sunday in his return. Okogie can be avoided for now, but he did have back-to-back 30 minute games to start the […]

Kawhi Leonard Scores Season-High 35 Points In Sunday's Win

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 35 points on 14-for-22 shooting on Sunday, helping the team to a 130-127 victory over Chicago. He had a spectacular performance from three-point range with a 7-for-9 record while adding four assists, three steals, and two rebounds. Paul George nailed some clutch free throws to […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) will not play Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Towns returned to action Saturday and played 37 minutes after missing a few games with a dislocated wrist, but will rest Sunday on the second night of a back-to-back. The team stressed this was expected as a part of their […]

Richaun Holmes And Buddy Hield Questionable For Monday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Richaun Holmes (ankle) and guard Buddy Hield (ankle) are both questionable Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Hield picked up the injury in Saturday night's thrashing by the Portland Trail Blazers while Holmes was a late scratch just before the game. The Kings went small Saturday without Holmes, shifting Marvin Bagley III to […]

Jerami Grant Continues To Impress

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant continues to exceed expectations for his team in the early part of this season. Grant dropped 28 points in a losing effort to the Jazz, adding four rebounds, four assists, three triples, and a block. The 26-year-old has scored at least 25 points in six of 10 contests and has […]

Rudy Gobert Pulls Down 19 Rebounds, Swats Four Shots

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert was a non-factor as a scorer in Sunday's win over the Pistons, though he found other ways to make an impact on the contest. Gobert scored just 4 points but notched a season-high 19 rebounds with four blocks and an assist in 34 minutes. The French big man has been […]

Donovan Mitchell Stays Hot In Win Over Pistons

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell scored 28 points with four triples, three assists, two rebounds, and a block in a 96-86 win over Detroit. Mitchell started slow with his shooting but has righted the ship in January, as he's averaged slightly more points per game than December, with an increase in field goal percentage from […]

Onyeka Okongwu Could Play Within A Week

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (foot) could be available within the next week, according to head coach Lloyd Pierce. The first round pick has not played yet this season due to a foot injury. The Hawks have high hopes for Okongwu, but it's unlikely he makes a significant impact in fantasy leagues. Atlanta has plenty […]

Ben McLemore Available Against Lakers

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday's game, but appears healthy enough to suit up here. Danuel House (back) won't suit up, so McLemore will see more minutes coming his way. He has been playing well recently, so […]

Avery Bradley Won't Suit Up Against Celtics

Miami Heat guard Avery Bradley (rest) will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. The veteran guard is sidelined due to health and safety protocols. Although, Bradley did play 19 minutes during Saturday's game. It's unclear how long Bradley is going to be sidelined. However, he wasn't much of a fantasy option […]

Goran Dragic Questionable Against Celtics

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Dragic sitting out. He dropped 21 points in 20 minutes on Saturday, so his absence would be significant. Kendrick Nunn stands to […]

Meyers Leonard Could Be Sidelined On Sunday

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a left shoulder strain during Saturday's game, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Leonard sit out here. Kelly Olynyk (groin) and Precious Achiuwa are ahead of Leonard on the depth chart anyway. Leonard can remain […]

Kelly Olynyk Might Sit Out Sunday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. Olynyk has been dealing with a groin contusion, but was able to play 32 minutes on Saturday. Possibly, the Heat decide to rest him here out of caution. Precious Achiuwa and Maurice Harkless stand to gain the most […]

Garrett Temple Joins Starting Five

Chicago Bulls forward Garrett Temple will slide into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Otto Porter (back) will be sidelined after only playing six minutes during Friday's contest. This will be Temple's first start of the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited. Temple doesn't have much streaming appeal […]

Otto Porter Out Versus Clippers

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was only able to play six minutes on Friday before exiting with back spasms. The veteran forward will rest here while Patrick Williams and Thaddeus Young will split up the minutes. Both players are worth rostering […]

Jaylen Brown Sidelined Versus Heat

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (rest) will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Brown along with plenty of other Celtic players will be sidelined due to health and safety protocols. Marcus Smart, Payton Pritchard and Carsen Edwards should see all the minutes they can handle with the Celtics being shorthanded. Smart […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out For Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard will join rookie Killian Hayes (hip) on the sideline for this one. Rose is dealing with left knee soreness, so it's not surprising he is resting here given his injury history. Delon Wright, Saben Lee […]
