Anthony Davis Posts Double-Double Against Boston

In a team-high 39 minutes, he collected 32 points on 3-for-5 shooting from deep along with 13 rebounds and two blocks. But, it was quite an inefficient outing for him overall. Davis turned the […]

Kyle Kuzma Provides Scoring Off The Bench Against Celtics

Kuzma scored 16 points on 6-for-13 accuracy from the field and grabbed four rebounds in 27 minutes off the pine. He played the second-most minutes out of […]

Daniel Theis Enjoys Strong Performance Versus Lakers

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) suffered a knee contusion and is doubtful to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

Norman Powell Remains Out on Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He remains sidelined with a left finger issue that has cost him three weeks of playing time. The team has not announced a timetable for his return, so it's unclear when Powell is going to get back on […]

Ben Simmons Ruled Out for Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Simmons left after five minutes during Saturday's game due to back soreness. The team will have Simmons undergo an MRI to determine how long he's going to be sidelined. Fantasy owners should expect the Sixers to be careful […]

Draymond Green Won't Play Versus Pelicans

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (pelvis) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Marquese Chriss (calf) is listed as questionable for this one, so the Warriors could be thin at center. Eric Paschall, Kevon Looney, and recently signed Dragan Bender could be asked to step up. Paschall is the […]

Marquese Chriss is Questionable for Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Marquese Chriss (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Draymond Green (pelvis) has already been ruled out, so the Warriors could be thin here.

Kemba Walker Won't Suit Up Versus Lakers

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks his second game in a row that he has missed due to a lingering left knee issue.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is Out 2 Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is going to be sidelined at least two weeks after suffering an injury during Friday's game. He left after 16 minutes on Friday due to a sprained left knee. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks, but the Grizzlies are likely to be cautious with their young forward. Brandon […]

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed Friday's game and was unable to practice on Saturday. Frank Ntilikina (groin) started on Friday, but is listed as questionable for this game as well. Ntilikina is expected to start again if he's cleared to […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) left after just a few minutes during Saturday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored five points in five minutes before exiting the game and not returning. He'll undergo an MRI on Sunday, but Adrian Wojnarowski believes there is some concern surrounding the injury. Simmons missed Thursday's game due […]

Maxi Kleber (PF/C, DAL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: I think Maximilian Kleber's ownership is a little too high at least for standard, 12-team leagues. Other than that, though, it makes sense to find him at 40% in deeper tournaments and structures. Keep in mind this stat: Kleber is averaging 25 […]

Coby White (PG, CHI): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Coby White hasn't started a single game for the Bulls in his rookie season, at least he's taking baby steps toward improving his overall game steadily. Chicago has been giving White more chances lately by ramping up his minutes (under 24 […]

Frank Ntilikina Might Sit Out on Monday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He drew the start during Friday's game because Elfrid Payton (ankle) was sidelined. It doesn't sound like Payton is going to play on Monday, so Ntilikina would get another start if he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Dennis […]

Jae Crowder (SF/PF, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm making an exception here going over the 40% ownership threshold, but Jae Crowder totally merits it. The chances are lower you will find him still available for free in your league, sure, but if you do you shouldn't hesitate to add him […]

Markelle Fultz Practices on Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (calf) was able to participate in Sunday's practice without any issues. He played 25 minutes during Friday's game, but was held out of the fourth quarter due to a left calf issue. However, Fultz feels better now and has been cleared for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Fantasy owners […]

Dragan Bender is Available for Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Dragan Bender has been officially signed by the organization on Sunday. He'll be available for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He could be thrown into the fire with the team banged up here. Draymond Green (pelvis) is out, while Marquese Chriss (calf) is listed as questionable for this one. […]

Kent Bazemore (SG/SF, SAC): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm starting to think everybody around Sacramento performs better off the bench than in a starter role. The Kings moved Buddy Hield to the pine and he's thrived since. Back in late January they acquired Kent Bazemore from Portland, sit him on the […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're bordering the 40% ownership rate with Josh Hart and for good reason. While only a top-65 player on the season, Hart's past month of play has been so good that he's ranking as a top-35 performer in the past 30 days. In […]
