Kawhi Leonard Will Play Against Warriors

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will start Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Head coach Ty Lue said Leonard was feeling good and wanted to play in more games this season. This is a huge development for fantasy managers, as Leonard is a first-round talent, but likely slipped in drafts due to concerns over […]

Tyrese Haliburton Will Play Against Chicago

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) will play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Haliburton has missed the past two games with a bone bruise in his left wrist. Thankfully, this is not his shooting wrist, but the breakout rookie could still see some shooting regression if the injury still persists. Haliburton has been a great […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable Against Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is questionable Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Caldwell-Pope has missed two straight games with an ankle sprain, but could return Thursday. The Lakers are in entering a back-to-back set, so Caldwell-Pope should be considered questionable for both. If Caldwell-Pope returns, Kyle Kuzma will likely return to the […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) and forward/center Anthony Davis (groin) are questionable to play Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. James has been a common reoccurrence on the injury report, but has not missed a game this season. Davis, on the other hand, is popping up with a right adductor strain and this […]

Suns-Raptors Game Could Be Postponed

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul and Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry met on Wednesday to discuss whether or not to move forward with Wednesday night's match up in Phoenix.

Josh Jackson Inactive Against Bucks

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Josh Jackson (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson suffered an ankle injury Sunday, but there was optimism he would suit up Wednesday. That, unfortunately, was not the case and he will miss his second-straight game with the injury. Wayne Ellington is getting another start and is a threes […]

Markelle Fultz Leaves Game With Serious Knee Injury

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) left Wednesday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and will not return. Fultz landed on his knee awkwardly and had trouble walking, clutching his left knee almost immediately after landing. Hopefully it looked worse than it actually was, but this could be a serious knee injury for Fultz, who […]

Reggie Bullock Good To Go Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (knee) was in danger of missing Wednesday's contest against the Utah Jazz, but he will play and start. Bullock has some soreness in his knee, but not enough where it will cost him a game. Bullock has been starting in the absence of Alec Burks (ankle), who is out […]

Maurice Harkless Inactive Versus Boston

Miami Heat forward Maurice Harkless (forearm) will not suit up Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. Harkless started the season opener, but has since be well outside the normal rotation. His injury will not impact much, but Kelly Olynyk will get his second-straight start and is looking like a speculative in add in season-long leagues. Olynyk […]

Dennis Smith Jr. And Omari Spellman Active Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (quad) and forward Omari Spellman (quad) are active Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Smith has played in one game this season and will likely make his return Wednesday, but Austin Rivers and Immanuel Quickley have both been playing well off the bench behind Elfrid Payton. As for Spellman, […]

The Houston Rockets are starting forward David Nwaba again for the injured Danuel House Jr. (back) on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. House with miss his second-straight game with a back injury and Nwaba is slated to grab his second-straight start. Nwaba started off the year hot with numerous players out due to medical and […]

Christian Wood Out Wednesday Against Indiana

Houston Rockets forward/center Christian Wood (knee) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Wood was a game-time decision coming into the contest, but looks like the knee issue is enough to have him sit. DeMarcus Cousins, who has been disappointing thus far, will grab the spot start without Woods. Cousins could be worth […]

Marcus Smart In, Jeff Teague Out Wednesday Night

The Boston Celtics will be without guard Jeff Teague (ankle) again Wednesday against the Miami Heat, but will get guard Marcus Smart (thumb) back after a one-game absence. Smart's return will likely push Tremont Waters back to the bench who will take a huge hit in fantasy value. Teague, missing his second straight, should give […]

Kawhi Leonard Not Listed On Injury Report Despite Back-To-Back

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. As you may know, Leonard, who played 37 minutes on Tuesday, typically sits one of the back-to-back sets. In fact, if Leonard suits up, this would be the first time he plays both […]

Marcus Morris And Paul George Questionable Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Marcus Morris (knee) and Paul George (ankle) are questionable to play Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors.
