Marcus Smart Will Return on Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) will return for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's been sidelined since early December due to an eye infection that spread into both of his eyes. It doesn't sound like he's going to be limited on Saturday, which means less playing time for Brad Wanamaker. Gordon Hayward might […]

Clint Capela Won't Play Against Nets

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as doubtful on Friday and will sit this game out due to a right heel contusion. Capela was able to play through it on Monday and Wednesday, but will sit this one out. Tyson Chandler […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Listed as Out for Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's set to miss his second game in a row after suffering a back injury earlier in the week. Ersan Ilyasova is expected to draw the start and he was great in his last game. Donte Divincenzo, D.J. […]

Tobias Harris is Questionable for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He looked good during Friday's game, but tweaked his right hip in the process. Furkan Korkmaz, James Ennis, and possibly Mike Scott would see increased playing time if Harris sits out. None of those players are reliable streaming […]

Kevin Love is Ruled Out for Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He reportedly injured his right hip during their last game and will sit this one out. Larry Nance Jr. should slide into the starting five, while John Henson could see a few extra minutes. Nance has been a […]

Darius Garland Could Sit Out on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He likely suffered the right ankle issue during their last contest, but hopefully it's only a minor issue. Kevin Porter Jr. would benefit the most if Garland is forced out of this contest. He'd be worth looking at […]

LeBron James is Uncertain for Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) remains questionable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's going to depend on how James feels after shootaround, according to head coach Frank Vogel. He's listed as questionable, but James has only sat out one game all season. Fantasy owners should expect him out there, but […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Suit Up on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was able to go through practice on Thursday, but the Suns are going to be cautious with their star center. Aron Baynes should get another start, while Frank Kaminsky and Dario Saric get some extra playing time […]

Devin Booker is Probable for Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (thumb) is probable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He looked fine during Friday's game versus the Warriors where he dropped 34 points. Fantasy owners shouldn't be worried about Booker sitting despite the probable tag. Check back before tip-off just in case something cases closer to game time.

Andrew Wiggins is Questionable Against Cavs

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wiggins is under the weather, so he'll likely be a game time decision for this one. Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie would be asked to play big minutes if Wiggins sits out. Both could be deep league streaming […]

Paul Millsap Ruled Out for Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Millsap suffered a left knee contusion last week, so the Nuggets might just being playing it safe here with their veteran forward. Mason Plumlee will draw the start, which means Jerami Grant will come off the bench. Plumlee […]

Aaron Holiday Falls Short of Double-Double In Loss

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday extended his streak of productive performances in Friday's 113-112 loss to the Heat, as the 23-year-old finished with 17 points, nine assists, three rebounds and one three-pointer made on 7-for-15 shooting from the field.
