Jalen Brunson Records First Double-Double Of Season

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard Jalen Brunson rejoined the starting five for Monday’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks and recorded his first double-double of 2019-20.

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. nearly grabbed a double-double on Monday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder but fell one rebound shy. Carter Jr.'s 12 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one steal still made for a great box score, but couldn't get the coveted tenth rebound. He already has 13 double-doubles […]

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris had one of his best outings of the season with 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting to go with six rebounds and three assists. This marks his third straight outing in double-figures, although it certainly helped Morris that both Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond were on the mend for this game. […]

Washington Wizards point guard Isaiah Thomas returned from a calf injury with seemingly no lingering issues by dropping 23 points on 9-for-12 shooting, with six assists. IT had missed the previous five games but came out on a mission, dropping five three-pointers in the win as well. Washington is a fantasy-friendly environment as one of […]

Davis Bertans Continues Hot Shooting Against The Pistons

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans was once again stellar from beyond the arc against Detroit Monday night, shooting 3-for-6 from the three-point line to finish with 17 points. A Dec. 14 outing against Memphis aside, Bertans has hit multiple three-pointers in 14 of Washington's last 15 games. His 3.8 makes per game rank third in […]

Isaiah Thomas Will Play Monday

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (calf) will play in Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Thomas has missed the last five games due to a left calf strain. He'll be back in the starting five on Monday, according to head coach Scott Brooks. Ish Smith will lose most of his streaming appeal, while Troy Brown's […]

Andre Drummond is Available for Monday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is available for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He didn't play on Saturday, but it appears Drummond feels well enough to suit up here. Blake Griffin (knee) won't suit up, so Drummond will be asked to carry the load. Christian Wood and Markieff Morris will fill in for […]

Blake Griffin is Out on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Griffin had an MRI on his left knee on Sunday, so fantasy owners will have to wait for those results to be revealed. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood will see increased playing time with Griffin sidelined. Wood is […]

Fred Vanvleet is Doubtful Against Cavs

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's been sidelined for about a week due to a right knee contusion. He'll likely test out his knee during warmups, so fantasy owners will have to wait until then. Norman Powell has seen an increased role with […]

Austin Rivers is Probable for Monday

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (finger) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He recently returned from an illness, but Rivers is dealing with a sprained left finger now. It sounds like he'll be fine for Monday, but Ben McLemore would get more minutes if Rivers sits. McLemore is looking […]

Kevin Huerter is Questionable for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He left Sunday's game due to a left shoulder contusion and didn't return. It's possible that the Hawks were just being cautious and it's a minor issue. More information should be known on Tuesday, so fantasy owners […]

Isaiah Thomas Might Play on Monday

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was able to go through shootaround, so there's a chance he returns for this one after missing five straight games. Ish Smith would lose most of his streaming appeal with Thomas back in the rotation. Troy Brown might lose […]

Robert Williams is Out Three Weeks

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) is going to be sidelined for at least the next three weeks. He's been diagnosed with a bone edema in his left hip and will be re-evaluated in three weeks. Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter will be asked to split up the minutes at center. Theis has more fantasy […]

Jae Crowder is Expected to Play on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He's dealing with left ankle soreness, but should be out there unless he suffers a setback during warmups. Kyle Anderson would see increased minutes if Crowder is unable to play. However, Anderson hasn't been impressive this season […]

Marcus Smart Misses Practice on Monday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) was unable to suit up for practice on Monday. He's missed three games in a row due to a left eye infection. It has reportedly spread to his right eye, so his status for Wednesday's game is trending in the wrong direction. Brad Wanamaker and Semi Ojeleye have seen […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Travel for Road Trip

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) won't travel with the organization for their upcoming two game road trip. Fantasy owners can go ahead and rule out Irving for Tuesday vs New Orleans and Thursday against the Spurs. The Nets don't have a timetable for his return, so it's unclear when Irving will take the court […]

Devin Booker is Questionable for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) is questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was able to get up some shots on Sunday, so the Suns are going to wait and see how Booker feels closer to tip-off. Mikal Bridges is the best bet for fantasy leagues if Booker is out. Fantasy […]

Marvin Williams is Probable for Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams should see more playing time coming his way with PJ Washington (finger) sidelined. The Hornets have been reportedly shopping Williams on the trade market. He's going to carry decent fantasy value while Washington is out.

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 9)

Two things I wanted to address in this intro and they both revolve around the same narrative. The Suns have been pretty spectacular given they lost on of their better players early in the season, but that suspension is over and is going to immediately impact fantasy scoring. While Deandre Ayton controls the paint like […]

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center Cody Zeller rejoined the starting lineup for Sunday’s defeat to the Indiana Pacers and notched his second consecutive double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds to his credit.
