Hassan Whiteside Bounces Back With Massive Performance

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside bounced back from arguably his worst performance of the season against Denver on Tuesday night to dominate the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Whiteside grabbed a season-low five rebounds against the Nuggets, so he decided to come back and tie his season-high with 23 boards against the Spurs. In […]

DeMar DeRozan Goes 9-for-9 From The Charity Stripe

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan cooled off from his red-hot run on Thursday night in a 125-117 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. In the 10 games before Thursday's loss, the former-Raptor was scoring at will averaging 25.4 points on 52.4 percent shooting from the field. Those numbers set the bar so high that […]

Trey Lyles Scores Season-High 23 Points Against Portland

San Antonio Spurs forward Trey Lyles had his best game of the season on Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. In the 125-117 loss, Lyles collected his first double-double of the campaign with a season-high 23 points on 9-for-11 shooting, 10 rebounds, and two steals in 34 minutes.

RJ Barrett, Reggie Bullock Cleared To Suit Up Thursday

The New York Knicks will welcome back standout rookie point/shooting guard RJ Barrett for Thursday’s contest versus the Orlando Magic, while also having the services of Reggie Bullock, who previously had his status up in the air due to an illness.

Daniel Gafford, Denzel Valentine To Miss Thursday’s Contest

The Chicago Bulls will be without both center Daniel Gafford and shooting guard/small forward Denzel Valentine for Thursday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo and small/power forward T.J. Warren have both been given questionable tags ahead of Friday’s contest versus the Toronto Raptors.

Jonas Valanciunas Questionable To Suit Up Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas has again earned a questionable designation ahead of Friday’s contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Valanciunas had a similar tag ahead of Wednesday’s outing, after which he ultimately started and logged 28 minutes, so it may not be surprising if the Grizzlies are merely being cautious with their big man. Even […]

Derrick Rose, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk To Miss Friday’s Contest

The Detroit Pistons will be severely short-handed Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder with both point/shooting guard Derrick Rose and shooting guard/small forward Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk set to miss their third consecutive game due to respective ailments.

George Hill Ruled Out For Thursday’s Contest

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard George Hill will be held out of Thursday’s game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to a hamstring strain that will now cost him his fourth consecutive outing. Milwaukee has reallocated his minutes in the second unit to Donte Divincenzo and Pat Connaughton, although the team’s overall depth has managed without Hill […]

Richaun Holmes Limited At Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) said he was sore after Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday. Holmes was only able to do non-contact work during Thursday's practice. The Kings are hopeful that Holmes will be back in the rotation for their next game, but we'll see. He's worth owning in all formats going […]

De'Andre Hunter Should Be Fine for Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's been dealing with a left ankle issue, but was able to play in Wednesday's contest. Cam Reddish (head) remains out with a concussion, so Hunter is expected to see around 30 minutes on Friday. He's worth rostering […]

Brad Wanamaker Should Play Versus Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The injury report is loaded for this one, so fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after Friday's shootaround for better information. Kemba Walker (knee) is questionable, but if he plays, Wanamaker will lose most […]

Jaylen Brown Might Sit Out on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It sounds like he tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He should be able to get out there, but fantasy owners should check back after Friday's shootaround for more information. Marcus Smart (quad) and […]

Kemba Walker Might Return Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker has missed each of the last three games due to left knee soreness. He's downplayed the injury, but the Celtics are going to remain cautious going forward. Marcus Smart (quad), Brad Wanamaker (ankle), and Romeo Langford would […]

Gordon Hayward is Questionable for Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with left foot soreness, so the Celtics might decide to take the cautious approach and rest Hayward. The Celtics are fairly banged up right now, so they'd likely use a committee approach to fill the void. […]

Russell Westbrook Will Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (thumb) will play in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was unable to play in Tuesday's game versus Charlotte due to a left thumb sprain. The Rockets plan on having Westbrook play in this game and sit out the following night against the Phoenix Suns. Ben McLemore, Austin […]

Isaiah Thomas Gets Waived by Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Isaiah Thomas will be waived by the organization shortly after he was acquired in a three-team trade. The Clippers have Patrick Beverley, Landry Shamet, and Lou Williams, so it appears Thomas would've been lost in the shuffle. Thomas will likely sign with a contending team. Fantasy owners should keep their eyes […]

Tristan Thompson is Expected to Come Off The Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson was not dealt during Thursday's trade deadline and won't be bought out by the organization. Andre Drummond is headed to Cleveland, so he'll immediately join the starting five. Kevin Love is at the power forward spot, so Thompson is the odd man out. His fantasy value is going to take […]

Marcus Morris Gets Dealt to Clippers

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a three-team trade. The Clippers will send forward Maurice Harkless and a 2020 first-round pick to New York. Guard Jerome Robinson goes to the Washington Wizards in exchange for veteran guard Isaiah Thomas who goes to LA. The […]

James Ennis Gets Traded for Draft Pick

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward James Ennis has been traded to the Orlando Magic for a second-round pick. He wasn't a big part of the rotation and they needed to clear roster spots with Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III joining the roster. Ennis is going to be lost in the shuffle while battling Evan Fournier, Terrence […]

Jordan McRae Acquired by Nuggets

Washington Wizards guard Jordan McRae has been acquired by the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Shabazz Napier. This is a solid move for Denver, but it's going to hurt McRae's fantasy value. He saw plenty of chances with the tanking Wizards, but will fight for his time off the bench in Denver. McRae could […]

Gorgui Dieng Goes to the Grizzlies

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng has been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for forward James Johnson. Dieng saw significant minutes for the 'Wolves when Karl-Anthony Towns was injured, but didn't make a huge impact with the second unit. Dieng is going to compete with newly acquired Jordan Bell for playing time off the bench. Dieng's […]

Andre Drummond Acquired by Cavaliers

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for guard Brandon Knight, center John Henson, and a second-round pick. It's a quite shocking move by the Cavs who aren't in the playoff race and aren't expected to be competitive the rest of the way. Drummond is able to opt […]

Skal Labissiere Goes to Atlanta

Portland Trail Blazers forward Skal Labissiere (knee) has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for cash. Labissiere is sidelined due to a left knee issue right now, but this isn't an ideal landing spot for him. The Hawks have Clint Capela, John Collins, Dewayne Dedmon, Bruno Fernando, and Damian Jones at the power […]

Jordan Bell Gets Traded Again

Houston Rockets forward Jordan Bell has been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Bruno Caboclo. This is the second time that Bell has been moved in the last two days. Bell isn't expected to see much playing time while Jonas Valanciunas is healthy. Caboclo is someone that can play multiple positions, but will […]
