Dragan Bender Lands Second 10-Day Deal

Golden State Warriors forward Dragan Bender has signed a second 10-day deal with the organization. Head coach Steve Kerr had positive things to say about Bender after his first deal expired earlier this week. Draymond Green (knee) remains banged up, so the Warriors could use Bender right now. He has been hit-or-miss most of the […]

Gordon Hayward Isn't Expected to Play on Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (knee) was able to get through some work during Thursday's practice.

Ish Smith is Ruled Out for Friday

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Smith will sit out due to a hamstring issue.

Evan Fournier is Doubtful for Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (elbow) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Marvin Bagley Remains Unable to Practice

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) remains unable to practice and it's unclear if he'll play again this season. Bagley will be re-evaluated next week, so fantasy owners will have a better idea after that. The Kings aren't playing for anything, so they have no incentive to push Bagley on the court if he's not […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returns to Practice on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (elbow) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last four games due to an elbow issue. Dedmon is expected to get back into the rotation for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's not expected to be limited after missing four games and should […]

Cam Reddish is Expected to Return on Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (back) is expected to return to the rotation for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to head coach Lloyd Pierce.

Dorian Finney-Smith Could Sit Out on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a hip injury during Wednesday's game, but Finney-Smith hasn't missed a game all season.

Luka Doncic Misses Thursday's Practice

Draymond Green (knee) […]

Deandre Ayton is Limited on Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) was limited to non-contact work during Thursday's practice. It sounds unlikely that Ayton is going to take the court for Friday's game. He continues to deal with a left ankle issue and has no timetable for his return. Fantasy owners should hold onto Ayton until the MRI results are […]
