Marc Gasol To Miss 12th Straight Game Sunday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol will remain sidelined for Sunday’s game versus the San Antonio Spurs due to a left hamstring strain. He last suited up Dec. 16, with his absence likely to continue paving the way for Serge Ibaka to see significant minutes in the frontcourt. It has been a struggle in 2019-20 for […]

Pascal Siakam Will Return For Sunday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Pascal Siakam has been given the green light to return for Sunday’s game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Siakam has missed each of the team’s previous 11 contests due to a groin injury, with his return likely capping the fantasy value of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Serge Ibaka. Siakam is on pace […]

Trae Young Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has been ruled out for Sunday’s game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to a left hamstring strain. Young’s absence marks his fourth contest on the sidelines this season, paving the way for Brandon Goodwin to enter the starting five and see a significant DFS role. Young had been seeing […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon is reportedly dealing with strep throat and was unable to play on Friday. The Pacers are likely going to wait until later in the day on Monday to make their final decision. Aaron Holiday and T.J. McConnell […]

D'Angelo Russell is On Track to Play

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's been out since late December due to a bruised right shoulder. There's a good chance that Russell plays on Sunday, but fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off. Alec Burks won't see as many chances […]

Damion Lee is Ineligible to Play Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Damion Lee isn't eligible to play in Sunday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Lee has run out of two-way days, so the team must finalize a long term agreement with him. Marquese Chriss was waived earlier in the week to clear a roster spot for Lee. They should get this deal […]

Wilson Chandler, Garrett Temple Will Play Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) and guard Garrett Temple (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players missed Friday's game, but appear ready to roll on Sunday. Rodions Kurucs is expected to see less minutes with Temple and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) back in action. Both Chandler and Temple aren't […]

C.J. Miles is Waived by Wizards

Washington Wizards forward C.J. Miles (wrist) has been waived by the organization on Sunday. He might be out for the season after undergoing surgery on his left wrist. Anzejs Pasecniks has been playing well and the Wizards needed to clear a roster spot for him. He'll be on a full NBA contract, while Miles hopes […]

Domantas Sabonis is Questionable for Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's been dealing with left knee soreness, so he underwent an MRI on Saturday. The MRI results came back clean, so Sabonis shouldn't be sidelined for long. Myles Turner will likely benefit the most if Sabonis is unable […]

Julius Randle Has Rejoined the Team

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (personal) has rejoined the team and is available for Sunday's game versus the Miami Heat. He missed each of the last two games due to personal reasons. Bobby Portis should head back to the second unit, while Taj Gibson gets less chances with Randle back in action on Sunday.

Kyrie Irving is Available on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's expected to be back in action here after missing nearly two months due to a right shoulder issue. Irving is likely going to be somewhat limited, so he'll be a risky DFS option. It's unclear how much he's going […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Play on Sunday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He'll miss his ninth straight game, but has been able to go through portions of practice. Although, he's still experiencing discomfort in his oblique. Frank Ntilikina (groin) will join him on the sidelines for Sunday's contest. […]

Marcus Morris Will Sit Fourth Straight Game

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Morris continues to deal with a sore neck that will sideline him for his fourth straight game. Reggie Bullock, Kevin Knox, and RJ Barrett will split up the extra minutes. Barrett has the most fantasy value out […]

Frank Ntilikina is Sitting Versus Heat

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as probable on the injury report, but the Knicks are going to play it safe. Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) will join Ntilikina on the sidelines. Elfrid Payton will see a bulk of the minutes […]

Thomas Bryant is Back in Action on Sunday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (foot) will return to the rotation for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's been sidelined the last six weeks after suffering a stress reaction in his right foot. The Wizards are going to have him limited in his first game back. Ian Mahinmi is expected to remain in the […]

Bradley Beal is Returning on Sunday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) will be back in the starting five for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's returning after missing the last five games due to right leg soreness. Head coach Scott Brooks said that Beal won't play his usual minutes on Sunday. Jordan McRae and Gary Payton will lose most […]

Donovan Mitchell is Ruled Out for Sunday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the first game of the season that Mitchell has missed. He's feeling under the weather, so the team will give him a day off to rest. Emmanuel Mudiay and Jordan Clarkson will see big boosts in playing […]

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't even know what to make of these Pistons.

Kyle Kuzma Erupts For Season-High 36-Point Showing

Los Angeles Lakers small/power forward Kyle Kuzma made his second consecutive start during Saturday’s win over the Oklahoma City Thunder and took full advantage of many of his teammates missing the contest.

Luke Kornet Pours In Season-High 15 Points Off Bench

Chicago Bulls power forward/center Luke Kornet was thrust 25 minutes of playing time during Saturday’s win over the Detroit Pistons with Wendell Carter Jr. sidelined.

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Christian Wood took full advantage of Andre Drummond’s ejection early in the second half of Saturday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls, going on to set a new career high in rebounds with 14 amid his fifth double-double of the year.
