Bruce Brown Jr. Set To Suit Up Saturday

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Bruce Brown Jr. missed practice Friday, but isn’t in doubt of missing Saturday’s game versus the Golden State Warriors. Having shifted to a bench role in three of his last four appearances, Brown has actually seen more playing time as a reserve, having averaged 11 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists […]

Donte Divincenzo To Rest For Saturday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Donte Divincenzo has started each of Milwaukee’s past 10 games, but will be rested for Saturday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs. With Wesley Matthews not listed on the injury report, he appears the likely candidate to jump back into the starting five, even if his DFS prospects are capped […]

Blake Griffin, Markieff Morris Both Ruled Out For Saturday

The Detroit Pistons will once again be without the power-forward duo of Blake Griffin and Markieff Morris for Saturday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors. Griffin’s absence marks his third straight game sidelined due to a knee ailment, while Morris will miss his fourth game in a row due to a foot injury. Head coach […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic missed practice Friday and is officially tagged as doubtful to play in Saturday’s game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to a sore ankle. Bogdanovic has oscillated between questionable and active for the better part of a week and finally appears in line to miss a contest for […]

Andre Drummond On Track To Play Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond may have missed practice Friday, but that does not appear to be keeping him from suiting up Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors, as he is not listed on the team’s initial injury report. Trade rumors are swirling around Drummond ahead of Saturday’s contest, forcing owners to keep an eye […]

John Collins To Miss Remainder Of Friday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins has been ruled out for the final quarter and a half of Friday’s game versus the Boston Celtics due to a back contusion after landing hard earlier in the third quarter.

Dennis Smith Jr. To Miss Fourth Consecutive Contest

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. will be sidelined for Friday’s game versus the Phoenix Suns due to a strained left oblique. Smith’s absence marks his fourth straight contest out of the equation, paving the way for Elfrid Payton to continue seeing healthy minutes at the starting point guard slot. After some solid […]

Jae Crowder Listed As Questionable For Saturday’s Game

Memphis Grizzlies small/power forward Jae Crowder has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Saturday’s contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to left ankle soreness. Crowder was able to make his return from a one-game absence Thursday, so his inclusion on the injury report seems to be rather precautionary. The veteran tied his season […]

Paul George Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Paul George has been tagged as doubtful to play in Saturday’s game versus the Memphis Grizzlies due to left hamstring tightness. George has not missed a contest since making his season debut Nov. 14, but his absence should pave the way for Kawhi Leonard to take on a larger offensive […]

Elfrid Payton Will Arrive In Time To Start Friday

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton reportedly caught a flight that has allowed him to get to Phoenix in time for Friday’s game versus the Suns. Payton was questionable to play due to personal reasons, but he will retain his role in the starting five for the sixth consecutive contest. He has been dishing […]

Michael Carter-Williams To Miss Considerable Time

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams missed Friday’s game versus the Miami Heat due to a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, his sixth consecutive contest on the sidelines. Prior to tip-off, head coach Steve Clifford revealed that Carter-Williams’ absence is not close to ending, stating that the backup guard is “quite a ways away” […]

Chandler Hutchison On Track To Suit Up Saturday

Chicago Bulls small/power forward Chandler Hutchison will suit up in the G League on Friday night, clearing the way for him to return to the Bulls for Saturday’s game versus the Boston Celtics. Hutchison last suited up for Chicago on Nov. 27, having missed the team’s last 16 contests due to shoulder soreness. How quickly […]

Dejounte Murray To Miss Saturday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray has been ruled out for Saturday’s contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks due to personal reasons. Murray has started each of San Antonio’s nine previous games and averaged 12.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists in that stretch. His absence likely paves the way for Patty Mills, Bryn Forbes […]

Delon Wright Has Status Up In The Air For Saturday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard Delon Wright is questionable to suit up for Saturday’s contest versus the Charlotte Hornets due to foot soreness. Wright has averaged 7.8 points per contest primarily off the bench this season, on pace to shoot a new career-best 48.4 percent from the field overall. With his contributions across the stat sheet […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein has picked up a questionable designation for Saturday’s game versus the Detroit Pistons due to an illness. Cauley-Stein has been sidelined for each of Golden State’s past two games, with Marquese Chriss having entered the starting five and becoming a solid short-term fantasy asset. Despite having started 30 consecutive […]

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell will miss his third straight game Saturday versus the Detroit Pistons due to a shoulder contusion. Russell’s absence has paved the way for Alec Burks to take on a considerable offensive role, which should once again be the case versus the Pistons, even as others such as Glenn […]

Jabari Parker Cleared To Make Return Friday

Atlanta Hawks small/power forward Jabari Parker will get back onto the floor for Friday’s outing against the Boston Celtics following a three-game absence due to a throat infection. After becoming a fantasy commodity as a starter throughout November and early December, Parker has essentially lost all of his fantasy value with John Collins’ return to […]

Frank Kaminsky To Miss Third Straight Contest

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Frank Kaminsky has been ruled out for Friday’s game versus the New York Knicks due to knee soreness. Kaminsky’s absence marks his third consecutive game on the sidelines with Cameron Johnson and Cheick Diallo likely to continue absorbing his minutes, although neither presents a particularly appealing DFS option. After starting 13 […]

Aaron Gordon Cleared To Rejoin Starting Five Friday

Orlando Magic small/power forward Aaron Gordon has been given the green light to suit up for Friday’s game versus the Miami Heat, as he will reclaim his role in the starting five following a two-game absence due to an Achilles ailment. Gordon’s return is fortuitous for Orlando, who lost fellow frontcourt member Jonathan Isaac for […]

Jaylen Brown Should Play on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) was able to go through a full practice on Thursday. He's listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Kemba Walker (illness) has been ruled out, so Brown could see the ball in his hands more often. Fantasy owners should double check before tip-off, but Brown should […]

Ricky Rubio Should Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (hip) was able to go through shootaround on Friday. He's listed as probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He limped to the locker room during Wednesday's game, but his left hip seems better now. Rubio shouldn't be limited at all, but fantasy owners should check back closer […]

Bradley Beal is Ruled Out for Friday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wizards want to make sure that Beal is healthy and his leg injury doesn't linger. There's a chance that he suits up on Saturday, but fantasy owners will have to wait and see. Troy Brown should […]

Kemba Walker is Ruled Out Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He didn't practice on Thursday due to a 103-degree fever. Marcus Smart should jump into the starting five, while Brad Wanamaker gets extra minutes off the bench. Smart could make for an interesting DFS option, while Walker is […]

Aaron Gordon Might Play on Friday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (Achilles) was able to participate in shootaround and has a chance to play on Friday. Gordon has been banged up with an Achilles issue, but is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. It's unclear whether or not he'd be limited at all. He's sounding […]

Malcolm Brogdon Will Miss Next Two Games

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) was unable to get in any work during Friday's practice. He didn't play on Thursday and isn't traveling with the team for their upcoming two game road trip. The X-rays came back clean, so hopefully Brogdon will be back in action after Monday's game. Aaron Holiday should continue to […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Has Been Ruled Out for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the third game in a row that Hardaway has been sidelined due to a left hamstring issue. The team isn't going to rush him back, so he could be out for a few more games. […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Ruled Out for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's dealing with right knee soreness and was already expected to sit this game out. The Mavs are going to be cautious with their star center and haven't given a timetable for his return. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight […]

Alex Caruso Won't Play on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He exited early during Wednesday's game due to right calf tightness. Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should all see a few extra minutes coming their way. None of them are great fantasy assets, but […]
