Jabari Parker is Doubtful for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (throat) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. John Collins (back) is doubtful as well, so the Hawks depth is going to need to step up. Alex Len is likely going to be asked to jump into the starting five. Bruno Fernando, De'Andre Hunter, and Cam […]

John Collins is Doubtful for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He fell awkwardly during Friday's game and limped to the locker room afterward. He was ruled out shortly after that, so it's not surprising that he'll likely sit here. Jabari Parker (throat) is doubtful as well, so Alex […]

Kemba Walker Won't Play on Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) isn't traveling with the team and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed Friday's game due to an illness and it sounds like it's going to cost him both games of the back-to-back set. Marcus Smart started in his place on Friday and […]

Delon Wright is Probable for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Delon Wright (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was listed as questionable on Friday, so it appears he's making progress. He's been playing better lately, but won't see a high usage while Luka Doncic is healthy. Wright is only worth looking at in deep leagues.

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Sit Out on Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to go through an extended shooting drill on Saturday. Towns is making progress, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out at least one more game. Gorgui Dieng is looking like a reliable […]

Bradley Beal is Questionable on Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out of Friday's contest after he re-aggravated his leg issue on Wednesday. The Wizards are going to be cautious with their star guard, so he'll likely sit unless he's 100 percent. Troy Brown will continue to […]

Caris LeVert is Available on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thumb) is available for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's finally back after missing two months due to thumb surgery. However, it sounds like LeVert is going to come off the bench with the second unit. That shouldn't make a huge impact to his fantasy value and he should […]

Elfrid Payton Might Sit Out on Sunday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He left to be with his wife for the birth of his daughter, but did return in time to play on Friday. It sounds like Payton should be good to go for Sunday, but Frank Ntilikina […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable for Sunday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's been banged up since late December, so it's not surprising to see him on the injury report. He doesn't have great fantasy appeal even when he's healthy. Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina are healthy, […]

Elfrid Payton Plays Well Despite Late Arrival

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton put together a good 15-6-5 line in Friday's loss to Phoenix despite arriving in town only a couple of hours before tip-off after his wife gave birth to a daughter. His struggles from the line continued with a 3-for-8 performance, but the former Sun shot a good 6-for-10 […]

Marcus Morris Leads Team With 25 Points Friday Night

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris finished Friday's matchup against the Suns with a team-high 25 points.

Sadly, he couldn't produce much […]

Deandre Ayton Cruises Towards Double-Double
