Ben Simmons is Probable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with a minor illness, but is expected to suit up for this game. He'll likely see his usage dip back down to normal with Joel Embiid (hand) back in the rotation. Fantasy owners should check back […]

Patrick Beverley Should Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It sounds like both Beverley and Paul George (hamstring) are going to be back for this game. Lou Williams might lose a few minutes, while Landry Shamet and Maurice Harkless will lose most of their streaming appeal. […]

Paul George is Probable Versus Kings

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has been sidelined for each of the last nine games due to a left hamstring issue. Landry Shamet and Maurice Harkless would lose most of their streaming appeal with George back in the mix. Fantasy owners […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. is Questionable for Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Luka Doncic (ankle) has already been ruled out, so losing Hardaway would hurt. Fantasy owners should have a better idea about his status after shootaround on Friday. Delon Wright, Seth Curry, and Jalen Brunson could be asked […]

Mike Conley is Ruled Out for Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Jazz are playing it safe and letting Conley rest. Donovan Mitchell will see an increase in usage without Conley on the court. He should be back next game, […]

Luka Doncic Won't Play Against Rockets

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't travel with the team for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He tweaked his ankle during practice on Thursday and will have an MRI on Friday. The Mavs may decide to rest Doncic until after the All-Star break if his injury is severe. Fantasy owners will have to […]

Al Horford Won't Play on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Joel Embiid (hand) is back in the rotation, so it's not surprising that the Sixers are letting Horford rest here. Kyle O'Quinn and Mike Scott should be asked to play more without Horford in the rotation. Embiid could […]

Jayson Tatum Will Return on Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (groin) will return for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has missed each of the last three games due to a groin issue. Tatum will be back on Thursday, but he will be limited during this contest. He'll likely see around 20 minutes, but it depends on how […]

Enes Kanter is Ruled Out for Thursday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the fourth game in a row that Kanter has missed, but he's getting closer to returning, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Daniel Theis is going to benefit the most until Kanter returns. He'll likely […]

Bruno Fernando is Ruled Out for Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks will have little depth with Fernando and Alex Len (hip) both sidelined here. John Collins will be asked to start at center, while Damian Jones is asked to play more off the bench. Collins is expected […]

Justise Winslow is Without A Timetable

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) does not have a timetable for his return and is out indefinitely. Winslow hasn't been able to do any on-court work since going down with a back injury on January 8. He has only played in 11 games this season and it doesn't sound like he's going to play […]

Patrick McCaw is Upgraded to Probable

Toronto Raptors guard Patrick McCaw (nose) is upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was listed as questionable, but it appears McCaw is going to be back out there for this one. The Raptors won't host a shootaround, so fantasy owners will have to wait until closer to game time for […]
