Anfernee Simons is Unlikely to Play on Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (head) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He left Friday's game due to a concussion, and he needs to pass the NBA's concussion protocol before being allowed to play. It's highly unlikely that it happens before tip-off, so fantasy owners should expect Simons to […]

Hassan Whiteside is Probable for Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (leg) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He sat out of Friday's game due to a left leg contusion, but it appears he's going to play here. Caleb Swanigan should head back to the second unit and lose most of his streaming appeal going […]

Jaylen Brown is Likely to Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although, the Celtics injury report has Brown closer to probable than questionable for this one. The team is likely going to wait and see how he feels closer to tip-off. The Celtics have used a committee approach […]

Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III Listed as Out for Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Alec Burks and forward Glenn Robinson III are listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Both players still have yet to complete their physicals required to complete the trade. There's a chance they get them finished before tip-off, but both players will take significant hits in fantasy value with […]

Al Horford is Questionable Versus Chicago

Philadelphia 76ers forward Al Horford (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Horford is dealing with left Achilles soreness, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Sixers give him the day off. Joel Embiid (neck) is listed as questionable, but is expected to suit up here. Kyle O'Quinn (personal) […]

Patrick Beverley is Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He aggravated his groin on Wednesday and hasn't been able to suit up since then. Landry Shamet and Lou Williams should benefit the most with Beverley sidelined. Shamet has been playing well lately and should remain a […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Cavs

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is not surprising news as Leonard played 28 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Marcus Morris is expected to make his team debut and should see plenty of minutes without Leonard available. DFS […]

Marvin Bagley is Out Until After All-Star Break

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) has been ruled out until at least after the All-Star break. He'll be re-evaluated after the break, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play again this season. He's dealing with left foot soreness and the Kings are going to take the cautious approach. They won't let Bagley […]

Joel Embiid Will Play Against Bulls

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (neck) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as questionable with neck stiffness, but it appears he's going to play here. It doesn't sound like he's going to be limited at all for this one. He could get more looks with Al Horford (Achilles) […]

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Talk about an impactful trade! The Warriors flipped D'Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and the winner was... Marquese Chriss!?
