James Harden is Questionable Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Rockets only play twice this week, so Houston might take the cautious approach and rest Harden in one of those games. Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, and Eric Gordon would benefit if Harden is ruled out. Gordon is […]

Jabari Parker is Ruled Out on Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the third game in a row that Parker has missed due to a right shoulder impingement. However, John Collins is back from his suspension and has killed most of Parker's fantasy value. Evan Turner and Vince […]

Jaylen Brown is Ruled Out for Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He wasn't able to practice on Monday and has been officially ruled out for this contest. Marcus Smart should return to the starting unit, while Gordon Hayward and Kemba Walker could see increased usage.

Gary Harris is Questionable Versus Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (shin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed Sunday's game due to a left shin issue, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Harris out again. Michael Porter Jr. would benefit the most if Harris is forced to sit out. He'd be worth looking […]

Deandre Ayton is Upgraded to Questionable

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is upgraded from out to questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last five games, so the Suns would love to have him back. It sounds like Ayton is going to go through shootaround before they make a final decision. Aron Baynes and Frank […]

Paul Millsap is Questionable for Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He's missed two straight games, but head coach Mike Malone did downplayed the injury. Mason Plumlee and Jerami Grant would continue to see increased playing time if Millsap is out. Grant has more fantasy value than Plumlee, but […]
