LeBron James Will Return on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will return to the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll return to the lineup here after missing last game. Rajon Rondo will head back to the bench and see reduced minutes. Kyle Kuzma will see less minutes and reduced usage here. Fantasy owners and […]

Eric Gordon is Expected to Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Rockets have been cautious with Gordon lately, but it sounds like he's actually ready to play now. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Danuel House would lose playing time if Gordon returns here. House would be the best […]

Draymond Green Could Sit Against Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was added to the injury report on Saturday with left knee soreness. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries all season long, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out here. Eric Paschall would […]

Victor Oladipo is Listed as Questionable for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wasn't on the injury report earlier, but has now popped up with a left ankle sprain. Oladipo has been having trouble staying on the court this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out […]

Andrew Wiggins is Available Against Suns

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Both Jordan Poole (ankle) and Ky Bowman (ankle) are sidelined, so Wiggins should get plenty of run here. He should be the main ball handler going forward until Stephen Curry (hand) gets back on the court. Fantasy owners can […]

Caris LeVert is Available for Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable for this one with a right hand issue, but it appears he feels good enough to play in this one. He should see plenty of run against the Heat, so DFS players should take a […]

There are a ton of options tonight, and even though Ricky Rubio's price is a little steep, this seems like a trap game for value plays. Jevon Carter, and a few other […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 20 (Mar 2 - Mar 8)

Fantasy basketball season is in full swing. Most of us are either fighting for playoff berth/seeding, or are already in the playoffs and are in full win-now mode. These circumstances give streaming even more importance, as many players become expendable if they're not going to give us enough games next week. Their place can be […]

Lauri Markkanen is Almost Ready to Return

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) is close to being cleared to return to contact work, according to head coach Jim Boylen. He is currently five weeks into a four-to-six week timetable, so hopefully he'll get back on the court soon. Markkanen could be worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Placed in Concussion Protocol

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (head) has been placed into concussion protocol and will miss at least two games. He has already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls, but he's going to miss Monday's game as well. Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina will split up the extra playing time […]

Tristan Thompson is Ruled Out for Saturday's Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has started each of the last two games with Andre Drummond (calf) sidelined for those contests. Drummond is listed as probable here, so the Cavs will take the cautious approach and rest Thompson due to a left […]

Andre Drummond is Expected to Return Versus Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left calf strain. It appears Drummond is feeling well enough to get back into the starting five here. Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out, so […]

Caris LeVert is Questionable on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a right hand contusion, but he's been on fire lately, so losing him would really hurt the Nets rotation. Garrett Temple may slide into the starting five, but he wouldn't be worth using in […]

Luka Doncic is Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Doncic was battling through the left thumb issue on Friday, so the Mavs might take the cautious approach and rest him here. Seth Curry, Delon Wright, and J.J. Barea would see increased roles if Doncic is unable to […]

Cameron Johnson is Questionable for Saturday

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (back, hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He fell on the court during Friday's game and suffered a left contusion along with a lower back issue. The X-rays came back negative, so it sounds like Johnson will be fine for this one. However, […]

Deandre Ayton Might Not Play on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Ayton has been reliable when he's on the court, but he's been hit with injuries and a 25-game suspension this season. Aron Baynes (rib) would likely get the start and have some streaming appeal if Ayton is […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Upgraded to Probable

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, but it appears Carter is feeling good enough to play here. He is expected to be on a minutes limit while he works his way back to […]

Fred Vanvleet Could Sit Out Against Nuggets

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He suffered a left shoulder injury on Tuesday and wasn't able to suit up for Friday's game. Norman Powell returned on Friday, so he'll likely get another start if Vanvleet is unable to play. Terence Davis and Patrick […]

Serge Ibaka Might Sit Versus Nuggets

Toronto Raptors forward Serge Ibaka (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Ibaka is dealing with right knee soreness and wasn't able to play in Friday's contest. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson joined the first unit, but wasn't able to do much damage during his 28 minutes. Chris Boucher saw 16 minutes off […]

Stephen Curry Won't Return on Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) was expected to return for Sunday's contest, but it appears the team is going to delay his return. Head coach Steve Kerr has ruled out Curry for their upcoming game versus the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. The Warriors announced that Curry needs more time to practice before returning […]

Bradley Beal Continues Scoring Tear

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal has been lighting up the NBA as of late. In his last 10 outings, he is averaging 36.4 points per game, and his performance against the Jazz on Friday was similarly spectacular. In a team-high 41 minutes of play, Beal scored 42 points on 17-for-33 shooting from the field and […]

Jordan Clarkson Provides Spark Off Bench

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson's offensive production helped the team end a four-game skid with a win against the Wizards. In 23 minutes off the pine, he scored 20 points on 9-for-17 from the field, and he converted on two of his four three-point attempts. Clarkson also chipped in eight rebounds, two dimes and came […]

Donovan Mitchell Scores Team-High 30 Points For Jazz

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell's performance against the Wizards on Friday allowed his team to end a losing streak which spanned four games. In 33 minutes, he collected 30 points, eight rebounds and three assists in a 129-119 victory for Utah. Mitchell shot 9-for-21 from the field, 4-for-6 from three-point range and sinked eight of […]

Davis Bertans Goes Ice-Cold From Deep

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans is enjoying a career year in 2019-20, but he was a non-factor against the Jazz on Friday. In 28 minutes of action, he mustered only seven points and five rebounds. Only one of his eight three-point attempts found the bottom of the net. His lackluster play was partly responsible for […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Enjoys Bounce-Back Game Versus Wizards

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic bounced back nicely from tallying a season-low three points versus the Celtics on Wednesday. In a 129-119 victory for the Jazz against the Wizards, he scored 21 points on an efficient 4-for-9 shooting from beyond the arc. Bogdanovic also connected on all three of his free-throw attempts and dished out […]
