BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Celtics are lacking big men, and that's why they signed Tristan Thompson this past offseason to bolster their rotation of in-the-paint bodies for the 2021 season.

Coby White Kept In Check During Seesaw Outing

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Bobby Portis notched his second double-double of the year during Friday's win over Chicago, racking up 13 points and 12 rebounds versus his former team.

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo may have played just 28 minutes during Friday's win over the Bulls, but he utilized his time on the floor for the best. Antetokounmpo finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and two blocks, setting the tone for a clobbering of Chicago that allowed him to […]

Jamal Murray Expected To Play Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (elbow) is expected to play Friday against the Phoenix Suns. Murray was a late scratch Tuesday after experiencing some elbow soreness during warm ups and was questionable coming into Friday. However, it appears there was nothing serious in the injury as head coach Michael Malone said he would "be shocked" […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) is active and will play Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. James is still dealing with ankle soreness after suffering a minor ankle sprain earlier this season, but will play through it.

Dario Saric Won't Play Versus Nuggets

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been dealing with quad soreness, so Saric is going to sit this one out. The team is probably just being cautious, so Saric should be good to go for next game. Jae Crowder and Cameron Johnson […]

Michael Porter Jr. Could Miss Multiple Games

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's out due to health and safety protocols, so he could very well miss more games going forward. This is obviously frustrating for fantasy managers since Porter was off to a hot start. Expect both Paul Millsap […]

Lauri Markkanen Won't Play Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned on Thursday that none of the Bulls players who are quarantined will be available for this game. Otto Porter and Thaddeus Young will be the biggest winners without Markkanen available. Both players have […]

Tomas Satoransky Out Versus Bucks

Chicago Bulls guard Tomas Satoransky (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll be joined by Lauri Markkanen, Ryan Arcidiacano and Chandler Hutchison who are all quarantined.

Marcus Morris Won't Play Against Jazz

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Nicolas Batum will […]

De'Andre Hunter Expected To Suit Up

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was previously listed as questionable, but it sounds like he'll be ready to go here. Both Hunter and Cam Reddish should see plenty of minutes in this game. Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out, so Hunter […]

Russell Westbrook Will Rest Friday

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (rest) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This doesn't come as shocking news considering it's the second game of a back-to-back set. Head coach Scott Brooks hinted that this was likely coming, so expect the team to continue doing this going forward. Bradley Beal will […]

Terrence Ross Should Play On Saturday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (hamstring) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is dealing with minor hamstring soreness, but it sounds like it'll only cost him one game. Ross has been lights out off the bench for the Magic early in the season. He needs to be rostered […]

Eric Gordon Expected To Suit Up Versus Kings

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He made his season debut on Thursday, but it reportedly dealing with minor knee soreness. The Rockets might limit Gordon somewhat due to his injury history. Regardless, he'll be a low-end fantasy option without much upside.

Alec Burks Questionable Versus Pacers

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team currently has Burks listed as day-to-day. He has missed two games in a row, but the team is hopeful he'll get back out there on Saturday. Burks has been one of the top offensive weapons […]

Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned that Quickley is getting better each and every day. The Knicks were impressed with what they saw from Quickley during the preseason. He isn't an immediate pick up in fantasy leagues, but […]
