Jonathan Isaac To Be Re-Evaluated In 8-10 Weeks

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been diagnosed with a severe knee sprain and bone contusion and will be out indefinitely to be re-evaluated in eight to 10 weeks. This is a huge blow to Isaac, the Orlando Magic, fantasy owners and NBA fans as a whole. Isaac was solidifying himself as a defensive […]

Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns Remain Out Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) and center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will both sit Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Both Wiggins and Towns have missed multiple games with their respective ailments, but are both "getting close" to returning to the court. Jarrett Culver and Gorgui Dieng have been the main beneficiaries of the injuries […]

Bradley Beal is Questionable Against Blazers

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wizards play a back-to-back set starting Friday, so Beal is likely going to miss one of those games. He doesn't want his right leg injury to linger, so the team is going to be careful with […]

Malcolm Brogdon is Ruled Out for Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He returned from a three game absence on Tuesday, but left after eight minutes due to a back issue. Aaron Holiday should jump into the starting five and be a solid streaming option. T.J. McConnell should see more […]

Jaylen Brown is Expected to Play Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) was able to fully practice on Thursday. He's expected to be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Kemba Walker (illness) might sit out, so Brown could be looking at more shots coming his way. More information should be known after shootaround on Friday.

Kemba Walker Misses Practice on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's questionable for Friday's game after reportedly dealing with a 103-degree fever. Marcus Smart and Brad Wanamaker would be asked to fill in if Walker sits out. Smart would have decent streaming appeal if given extended minutes. Fantasy owners will have […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Ruled Out on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's the second game in a row that Porzingis has missed with knee soreness. Dwight Powell and Maximilian Kleber should see increased minutes without Porzingis available. Kleber played very well last game and should be worth looking at […]

Luka Doncic Should Play on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist, thigh) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He fell during Sunday's game and suffered minor back and wrist issues. However, he played through the issues on Sunday, so there's a good chance that he plays on Thursday. Fantasy owners should double check before tip-off […]

Karl-Anthony Towns is Questionable Against Warriors

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Towns has been sidelined since December 18 due to a knee issue. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wolves won't have a shootaround on Thursday. Gorgui Dieng will continue to see increased fantasy […]

Andrew Wiggins Might Sit Out on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's missed each of the last three games with an illness. Kelan Martin would return to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal if Wiggins is back. The Wolves won't have a shootaround on Thursday, […]

Elfrid Payton Could Miss Friday's Game

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (personal) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's unclear what personal issues Payton is dealing with, but fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off for better information. Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is questionable as well for this one. Frank Ntilikina could be looking […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Might Sit Out on Friday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is questionable to suit up for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's been banged up this season, but he hasn't been a great source of fantasy points when he's on the court. Elfrid Payton (personal) and Frank Ntilikina will see increased minutes if Smith sits out. […]

Jeff Teague is Doubtful for Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There's a good chance that Teague is going to miss multiple games because of his right knee sprain. Jarrett Culver will continue to see increased playing time with the Wolves banged up. He's worth looking at as […]

Joel Embiid Practices on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was able to get through a full practice on Thursday. He missed Tuesday's game due to knee soreness, but was able to get into Thursday's practice. There's a good chance that Embiid will be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Fantasy owners will have […]

Eric Gordon Will Play Around 25 Minutes Friday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will play around 25 minutes during Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Gordon recently returned after having knee surgery, so the Rockets are going to ease him back into action. The team will slowly increase his minutes, but he should play at least 20 minutes each game. Gordon hasn't […]

Gorgui Dieng Continues Strong Stretch With 15-Point Outing

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward/center Gorgui Dieng remained in the starting five in place of Karl-Anthony Towns for Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and logged 15 points despite a 4-for-14 shooting effort. Dieng was limited to just 24 minutes, which should bode well for his playing time in the second leg of the team's back-to-back […]

Shabazz Napier Buries Four Triples Amid 22-Point Outing

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier led his team in scoring for the second consecutive game with 22 points during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Without Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins or Jeff Teague active, Napier stepped into starting duties once again and finished 7-for-13 from the field overall and tied his season high with […]

Brook Lopez Swats Six Shots To Kick Off New Year

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez has reinvented himself before to remain an impact player in the league, and he appears to have done so again in 2019-20, as he notched six blocked shots during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. On pace to set a new career high with 2.5 blocks per game, Lopez has […]

Jaylen Nowell, Naz Reid Shine In Reserve Roles

With injuries tearing through the Minnesota roster, the rookie duo of Jaylen Nowell and Naz Reid combined to provide some offensive thump during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. For Nowell, it was the best outing of his career to this point, dropping a career-high 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting in just 16 minutes. Reid, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Notches Dominant Double-Double

Milwaukee Bucks small/power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo swatted away a last-second shot to seal his team’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Antetokounmpo has made a habit of posting monstrous double-double numbers this season, with his outing versus Minnesota no different; he accrued 32 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 31 minutes […]

Devin Booker Scores 30-Plus For Fourth Straight Game

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker poured in 32 points, seven assists, two rebounds, a triple, and a steal in a 117-107 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Booker has now made 24 of 25 free throws in his last two games and has been on a scoring binge lately. While he's struggled to connect from […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Stays Hot With 26 Points Against Lakers

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 26 points with six rebounds, three assists, three triples, and three steals in a 117-107 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Oubre has broken out this year, with career-highs in darn near every category- but he's been on fire in his last three games. The 24-year-old has averaged 25 PPG, 8.7 […]
