Goran Dragic Remains Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the sixth game in a row that Dragic has missed due to a groin issue. It doesn't sound like he's made much progress, so the Heat could be without him for a few more games. […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed three weeks earlier in the season due to a concussion.

Andre Drummond is Questionable on Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Wood is a better streaming option […]

Jusuf Nurkic Could Return Around All-Star Break

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (leg) is looking to get back on the court around the All-Star break in February.

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's been dealing with left hand discomfort since the beginning of December.

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Against Bulls

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington will see increased playing time, especially with Nicolas Batum (hand) doubtful for Friday as well.

Ja Morant Will Sit Versus Bucks

Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Melton is the better […]

Brandon Clarke Ruled Out for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Brandon Clarke (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to return on Wednesday, but the Grizzlies don't want to push him too hard. Jonas Valanciunas, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Bruno Caboclo will split up the extra minutes. Valanciunas is the best fantasy option out […]
