Rudy Gay Unlikely To Suit Up Sunday

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Rudy Gay is on track to miss his second consecutive game Sunday versus the Miami Heat due to an illness. Without Gay in the mix, Trey Lyles is likely to see an increased role in the frontcourt. Gay has been a vital cog in the Spurs’ second unit this season, […]

Dejounte Murray Picks Up Questionable Tag For Sunday

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray has been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday’s contest versus the Miami Heat due to an illness. Should Murray ultimately be held out, the trio of Derrick White, Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills would all be in line for increased usage, which could be vital in a […]

Steven Adams Cleared To Suit Up For Saturday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams will be back in action for Saturday’s contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers following a one-game absence due to a right knee contusion. Adams’ return dampens the fantasy value of Nerlens Noel, who is likely to return to his role as a reserve. Without Danilo Gallinari available, Adams should […]

Michael Carter-Williams Cleared To Make Return Saturday

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams will return to action Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors following a 13-game absence due to an AC joint sprain. His return gives head coach Steve Clifford a true backup to point guard Markelle Fultz, although how many minutes Carter-Williams has been cleared for remains up in the air. […]

Anthony Davis To Miss Fifth Straight Contest Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis has been ruled out for Saturday’s game versus the Houston Rockets due to a back ailment. Davis landed hard on his tailbone nearly two weeks ago and has been absent from game action ever since, paving the way for Kyle Kuzma and Dwight Howard to see increased roles. […]

Tyler Herro Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro has been listed as questionable to participate in Sunday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs due to a left knee bruise. The ailment has kept Herro sidelined for each of the team’s previous two contests, paving the way for Kendrick Nunn to lead the team in scoring in both […]

Derrick Favors Shoots Perfectly In Double-Double Performance

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors enjoyed a perfect 10-for-10 shooting night during his double-double performance in Saturday's loss to the Clippers. He finished with 22 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, adding three assists and one steal to his line in 28 minutes. Favors has had some health issues, but he's quietly turned into […]

Glenn Robinson III To Miss Saturday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Glenn Robinson III will be held out of Saturday’s game versus the Orlando Magic due to a sprained right ankle. His absence paves the way for Eric Paschall to see a considerable role, especially with Draymond Green (finger) also out of the mix. Ky Bowman has been recalled from […]

Kent Bazemore, Trevor Ariza Swapped In Five-Player Trade

The Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings struck a deal Saturday that saw small/power forward Trevor Ariza sent to Portland, with shooting guard/small Kent Bazemore highlighting the package that went back to Sacramento. While both wings hold marginal fantasy value, Ariza enters the better situation due to Portland’s need for three-point shooting. Bazemore will have […]

Fred Vanvleet Cleared To Return Saturday

Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred Vanvleet will get back on the floor for Saturday’s game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves after a five-game absence due to a hamstring ailment. Despite his return to action, he is likely to be held around the 25-minute plateau as head coach Nick Nurse eases him back into action. Vanvleet’s return […]

Lonzo Ball Reaches Triple-Double In Saturday's Loss

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball was in triple-double form on Saturday, finishing a 133-130 loss to the Clippers with 18 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. He shot 7-for-16 from the field and 4-for-9 from deep, adding two steals and one block with six turnovers to his line as well. Ball posted a […]

Montrezl Harrell Enjoys 24-Point Outing Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers power forward Montrezl Harrell put together a nice 24-point outing in Saturday's win over the Pelicans, shooting 9-for-11 from the floor and 6-for-10 at the charity stripe. Sadly he didn't do much else in 25 minutes of action, but his performance was enough to squeeze out a three-point win. Harrell has now […]

Ante Zizic, Brandon Knight To Be Absent Saturday

The Cleveland Cavaliers second unit will be severely short-handed for Saturday’s game versus the Chicago Bulls with point/shooting guard Brandon Knight and centers Ante Zizic and John Henson unavailable due to injury. Knight will be missing his second consecutive game, while Zizic will be sidelined for the fourth straight outing with an illness. The frontcourt […]

Lou Williams Notches 32 Points Off The Pine

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams was the team's second-leading scorer in Saturday's win over the Pelicans, notching 32 points in 31 minutes off the bench. He shot 7-for-16 from the field and 4-for-7 from downtown, adding 14 points from the line with 15 attempts. Sweet Lou also found time to record five assists, four […]

Reggie Bullock Cleared To Return Saturday, Will Start

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock has been given the green light to play in Saturday’s game versus the Philadelphia 76ers after a one-game absence due to neck soreness. With RJ Barrett ruled out, Bullock will enter the starting five and likely see a considerable offensive workload, having averaged 9.9 points and five […]

Cameron Johnson To Miss Saturday’s Game

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Cameron Johnson has been ruled out for Saturday’s contest against the Boston Celtics due to a quad contusion. Johnson’s absence, when coupled with that of Kelly Oubre Jr.’s, should pave the way for Mikal Bridges to see a considerable workload on the wing. Johnson has become an integral member of Phoenix’s […]

Kemba Walker Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker will miss Saturday’s game versus the Phoenix Suns due to left knee soreness. His absence will pave the way for Marcus Smart to remain among the starting five and handle a significant amount of the ball-handling duties. Walker went for 40 points and a season-high 11 rebounds Thursday, as […]

Gary Harris Won't Play Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jamal Murray (ankle) and Paul Millsap (knee) will join him on the sidelines, so the Nuggets are a bit banged up right now. Malik Beasley, Torrey Craig, and Michael Porter Jr. will see increased minutes with the Nuggets […]

Kemba Walker is Questionable for Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's dealing with left knee soreness that he likely picked up during Thursday's contest. Jaylen Brown (thumb) is already ruled out for Saturday, so Marcus Smart (ankle) and Brad Wanamaker could be asked to do more on offense. […]

Jaylen Brown Has Been Ruled Out for Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He sprained his thumb on Wednesday and was unable to play in Thursday's contest. It sounds like the scan on his thumb came back clean, so Brown shouldn't be sidelined for long. Kemba Walker (knee) is questionable, so […]

Marcus Smart Will Play on Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He rolled his ankle during Thursday's contest, but seems to be fine. Jaylen Brown (thumb) has been ruled out, while Kemba Walker (knee) is questionable for this one. The Celtics could be thin on depth, meaning Smart would be a […]

Alex Len is Doubtful for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's missed each of the last two games due to lower back pain. Damian Jones would be asked to pick up some extra minutes if Len is out once again. Jones only has deep league value at the […]
