Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Josh Richardson went a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line on his way to 29 points on Thursday. In the 76ers 109-98 win over the Boston Celtics, Richardson led the team in points while chipping in seven assists and three rebounds. It was the second-highest scoring output of the season for […]

Al Horford Scores 17 Points On Thursday

In Philadelphia's first game since All-Star center Joel Embiid was declared out indefinitely, Al Horford helped his team gut out a win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. Horford had 17 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal. It is the first time Horford has scored 15-plus points since Dec. 2, […]

Jayson Tatum Tallies Fifth Double-Double Of The Season

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was held to 15 points on Thursday night but was still able to record his fifth double-double of the season. Tatum added 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block to his box score in 36 minutes. The Celtics ultimately lost the game to the Philadelphia 76ers, but it […]

Kemba Walker Scores 26 Points Despite Injury Scare

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (thumb) suffered an injury scare on Thursday night but returned to have an effective evening on the box score. Walker had 26 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes. He shot 10-for-20 from the field and 5-for-11 from behind the arc. In the second quarter, he attempted […]

Marcus Smart Scores Season-High 24 Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart came off the bench and scored a season-high 24 points on Thursday night. In the 109-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Smart was one of the few bright spots for the Celtics. Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for only 29 points, so Smart picked up the slack for […]

Paul George Ruled Out Friday With Hamstring Strain

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) will not play Friday against the Golden State Warriors. George missed their game on January 4th with the same hamstring injury, but it was originally diagnosed as tightness. The team is now calling this a strain which calls for a little more concern, especially considering their last game […]

Eric Gordon Will Not Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Gordon warmed up, but was not expected to play given he just came back from knee surgery and this is the second night of a back-to-back set. In Gordon's absence, Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers will likely receive increased […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Thursday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (calf) will play against the Houston Rockets Thursday night. Gallinari was inactive, then upgraded to questionable before being able to play after missing one game with the injury. Gallinari should return to the starting lineup, pushing Darius Bazley back to the bench where he will lose mostly all his […]

Hassan Whiteside Available To Play Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (illness) will play Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Whiteside was dealing with an upper respiratory illness, but seems to have recovered enough to play Thursday. There is no report of any restrictions, so he should be good to go with his normal role. He faces the Timberwolves who are […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Will Sit Yet Again

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will not play Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Towns continues to creep towards a return after going through practice and being listed as a game-time decision. However, it appears Towns will still need more time to recover. Gorgui Dieng could feast against Portland with Hassan Whiteside (illness) possibly […]

Joel Embiid To Be Re-Evaluated In 1-2 Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hand) will undergo surgery on his left hand Friday and will be re-evaluated in one to two weeks. Embiid went viral after suffering a gruesome dislocated finger on Tuesday. After further evaluation, it was revealed Embiid tore a ligament in his left hand and will undergo the surgery Friday. With […]

Julius Randle is Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He didn't play in Wednesday's game and will sit out his second straight contest here. It's unclear why he's away from the team, so fantasy owners should consider him questionable for Sunday. Kevin Knox and RJ […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the third game in a row that Holiday has sat out due to a left elbow issue. There's a good chance that Holiday sits out of Saturday's contest as well. Josh Hart and Lonzo […]

Kevin Porter Jr. is Likely Out A Month

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks. He suffered a left knee sprain and the team said he'd be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Cavs have pushed back that timetable, which makes it tough to hold Porter in most formats. Dante Exum, Cedi Osman, and Brandon […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Play on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Towns has been sidelined since December 13 due to a left knee issue. He'd be under a minutes limit if he does manage to play. Fantasy owners will have to check back closer to tip-off […]

Hassan Whiteside Misses Shootaround on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (illness) was unable to get through Thursday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Blazers will likely wait until after warm ups to make a decision on Whiteside. Anthony Tolliver would be pushed into a bigger role on Thursday. He could make for […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss Weekend Set

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for the upcoming back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. The Mavs are going to continue to take the cautious approach on his sore right knee. There's a chance that he gets out there against the Warriors on Tuesday. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight Powell will continue […]

Matisse Thybulle is Back on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed nearly three weeks of action due to a right knee issue. He'll most likely be under a minutes limit for his first game back. Furkan Korkmaz and James Ennis will see less minutes going forward. Thybulle has some […]

Eric Gordon Might Sit Out on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's the same knee that Gordon had a procedure on earlier in the season. Most likely the Rockets are going to take the cautious approach and have Gordon sit out here. Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore should […]

Davis Bertans is Available on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's been sidelined since December 21 due to a right quad issue. Bertans is most likely going to be under a minutes limit for his first game back. Anzejs Pasecniks will see less minutes coming his way. Bertans probably won't […]

Danilo Gallinari is Questionable for Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was listed as out on the injury report, but something must have changed during shootaround. Darius Bazely would head back to the bench and lose his streaming appeal if Gallinari plays. Fantasy owners will need to […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Expected to Miss Weeks

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. An MRI confirmed that Carter has a high ankle sprain, so he's likely going to miss multiple weeks. Thaddeus Young and Daniel Gafford should have fantasy value while Carter is sidelined. Both are worth looking at, but Young is […]

Marvin Bagley Practices on Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) was able to fully practice on Thursday. Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is expected to miss at least one more game. He didn't practice on Thursday, so Bagley could slide into a bigger role on Friday. More information should be known after Friday's shootaround. Bagley should be a decent fantasy option […]

Richaun Holmes Sits Out of Practice

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He downplayed the injury, but sat out of Tuesday's game. He didn't practice on Thursday, which means he likely won't play on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Harry Giles and Dewayne Dedmon should soak up the extra minutes. Neither player has […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Unable to Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He did get up some shots after practice, but was reportedly unable to jump. It seems unlikely that Bogdanovic will be out there for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Trevor Ariza should continue to absorb extra playing time. He's worth […]

Avery Bradley Might Sit On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bradley was not able to finish Thursday's practice after experiencing a fever. He will travel with the team, but we'll see if Bradley actually plays. Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see more minutes if […]

Stephen Curry Should Be Re-Evaluated in January

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) was able to go through some shooting drills on Thursday. It's good news, but the Warriors aren't in any rush to bring Curry back to the court. He's expected to be re-evaluated in two or three weeks. There's a chance that Curry gets back on the court around […]

Marvin Williams Might Play on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's missed each of the last two games after undergoing a procedure to repair his broken nose. There's a chance that he wears a mask, but he shouldn't be sidelined any longer. Fantasy owners should check back on […]

D'Angelo Russell Returns to Practice

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He hasn't played since December 28 due to a bruised right shoulder. Russell is traveling with the team for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. It's unclear whether or not Russell would be on a minutes limit […]

Draymond Green Doesn't Practice Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Green is dealing with a minor ankle injury, but shouldn't be sidelined for too long. Eric Paschall and Willie Cauley-Stein would likely benefit the most if Green is […]
