RJ Barrett, Reggie Bullock Cleared To Suit Up Thursday

The New York Knicks will welcome back standout rookie point/shooting guard RJ Barrett for Thursday’s contest versus the Orlando Magic, while also having the services of Reggie Bullock, who previously had his status up in the air due to an illness. Barrett, who has missed the team’s last nine outings, will be coming off the […]

Daniel Gafford, Denzel Valentine To Miss Thursday’s Contest

The Chicago Bulls will be without both center Daniel Gafford and shooting guard/small forward Denzel Valentine for Thursday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gafford is returning to the sidelines due to a right ankle sprain after making an appearance Sunday following a nine-game absence, while Valentine is out due to a tight left hamstring. […]

Victor Oladipo, T.J. Warren Questionable For Friday’s Game

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo and small/power forward T.J. Warren have both been given questionable tags ahead of Friday’s contest versus the Toronto Raptors. Oladipo has played in each of the team’s four games since his return, with the organization considering resting him for one of the two legs of the team’s back-to-back; Warren […]

Jonas Valanciunas Questionable To Suit Up Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas has again earned a questionable designation ahead of Friday’s contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Valanciunas had a similar tag ahead of Wednesday’s outing, after which he ultimately started and logged 28 minutes, so it may not be surprising if the Grizzlies are merely being cautious with their big man. Even […]

Derrick Rose, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk To Miss Friday’s Contest

The Detroit Pistons will be severely short-handed Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder with both point/shooting guard Derrick Rose and shooting guard/small forward Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk set to miss their third consecutive game due to respective ailments. In addition to the trade of Andre Drummond to Cleveland, power forward/center Markieff Morris will also remain out, forcing […]

George Hill Ruled Out For Thursday’s Contest

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard George Hill will be held out of Thursday’s game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to a hamstring strain that will now cost him his fourth consecutive outing. Milwaukee has reallocated his minutes in the second unit to Donte Divincenzo and Pat Connaughton, although the team’s overall depth has managed without Hill […]

Richaun Holmes Limited At Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) said he was sore after Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday. Holmes was only able to do non-contact work during Thursday's practice. The Kings are hopeful that Holmes will be back in the rotation for their next game, but we'll see. He's worth owning in all formats going […]

De'Andre Hunter Should Be Fine for Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's been dealing with a left ankle issue, but was able to play in Wednesday's contest. Cam Reddish (head) remains out with a concussion, so Hunter is expected to see around 30 minutes on Friday. He's worth rostering […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/6/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

With the trade deadline ending within 12 hours, there is no more need to worry about what unfortunately happened tonight. As many saw coming, Andre Iguodala is being traded. While not many can say they knew it would be to the Heat, alongside Jae Crowder and a few other Grizzlies, Iguodala is nonetheless on his […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Thursday night NBA action will be the first post trade deadline DFS slate of the season.  The slate will feature five games and begin 30 minutes later than usual with a start time of 7:30 p.m. ET. At the time of this writing, the deadline is rapidly approaching the cut-off time of 3:00 p.m. ET.  […]

Brad Wanamaker Should Play Versus Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The injury report is loaded for this one, so fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after Friday's shootaround for better information. Kemba Walker (knee) is questionable, but if he plays, Wanamaker will lose most […]

Jaylen Brown Might Sit Out on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It sounds like he tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He should be able to get out there, but fantasy owners should check back after Friday's shootaround for more information. Marcus Smart (quad) and […]

Kemba Walker Might Return Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Walker has missed each of the last three games due to left knee soreness. He's downplayed the injury, but the Celtics are going to remain cautious going forward. Marcus Smart (quad), Brad Wanamaker (ankle), and Romeo Langford would […]

Gordon Hayward is Questionable for Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with left foot soreness, so the Celtics might decide to take the cautious approach and rest Hayward. The Celtics are fairly banged up right now, so they'd likely use a committee approach to fill the void. […]

Russell Westbrook Will Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (thumb) will play in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was unable to play in Tuesday's game versus Charlotte due to a left thumb sprain. The Rockets plan on having Westbrook play in this game and sit out the following night against the Phoenix Suns. Ben McLemore, Austin […]

Isaiah Thomas Gets Waived by Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Isaiah Thomas will be waived by the organization shortly after he was acquired in a three-team trade. The Clippers have Patrick Beverley, Landry Shamet, and Lou Williams, so it appears Thomas would've been lost in the shuffle. Thomas will likely sign with a contending team. Fantasy owners should keep their eyes […]

Tristan Thompson is Expected to Come Off The Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson was not dealt during Thursday's trade deadline and won't be bought out by the organization. Andre Drummond is headed to Cleveland, so he'll immediately join the starting five. Kevin Love is at the power forward spot, so Thompson is the odd man out. His fantasy value is going to take […]

Shea Weber Placed On Injured Reserve

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber will be out of action for at least the next week after sustaining a lower-body injury in his team's 5-4 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday. It is believed that the injury occurred late in the contest as the Canadiens captain logged 24:50 of ice time in […]

Mika Zibanejad Remains Hot In Victory

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad registered a goal and added an assist as his team defeated the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. The Swedish native helped lead the way for his squad in the bounce-back win, also posting a plus-two rating and six shots on goal in 20:56 […]

Titans Will Go Without Defensive Coordinator In 2020

The Tennessee Titans hired Jim Haslett to be their inside linebackers coach, but the team will go without a true defensive coordinator for the 2020 season. Head coach Mike Vrabel, who is defensive-minded, will be heavily involved in the defense and is a good bet to call most of the plays on that side of […]

Marcus Morris Gets Dealt to Clippers

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a three-team trade. The Clippers will send forward Maurice Harkless and a 2020 first-round pick to New York. Guard Jerome Robinson goes to the Washington Wizards in exchange for veteran guard Isaiah Thomas who goes to LA. The […]

Eric Weddle Announces Retirement

Los Angeles Rams safety Eric Weddle announced his retirement from football on his social media on Thursday. The 35-year-old played 13 seasons for the Chargers, Ravens and Rams. He just recently underwent his first surgery of his career this month, a meniscus trim in his knee. In 210 career games, Weddle made six Pro Bowls, […]

Auston Matthews Scores Twice In Wednesday's Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews potted a pair of goals in his team's 5-3 road loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday. In addition to registering his 38th and 39th marker of the campaign, the 22-year-old logged a team-high four shots on goal and a takeaway in 20:33 of ice time in the […]

James Ennis Gets Traded for Draft Pick

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward James Ennis has been traded to the Orlando Magic for a second-round pick. He wasn't a big part of the rotation and they needed to clear roster spots with Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III joining the roster. Ennis is going to be lost in the shuffle while battling Evan Fournier, Terrence […]

Jordan McRae Acquired by Nuggets

Washington Wizards guard Jordan McRae has been acquired by the Denver Nuggets in exchange for guard Shabazz Napier. This is a solid move for Denver, but it's going to hurt McRae's fantasy value. He saw plenty of chances with the tanking Wizards, but will fight for his time off the bench in Denver. McRae could […]

Gorgui Dieng Goes to the Grizzlies

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng has been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for forward James Johnson. Dieng saw significant minutes for the 'Wolves when Karl-Anthony Towns was injured, but didn't make a huge impact with the second unit. Dieng is going to compete with newly acquired Jordan Bell for playing time off the bench. Dieng's […]

Andre Drummond Acquired by Cavaliers

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for guard Brandon Knight, center John Henson, and a second-round pick. It's a quite shocking move by the Cavs who aren't in the playoff race and aren't expected to be competitive the rest of the way. Drummond is able to opt […]

Skal Labissiere Goes to Atlanta

Portland Trail Blazers forward Skal Labissiere (knee) has been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for cash. Labissiere is sidelined due to a left knee issue right now, but this isn't an ideal landing spot for him. The Hawks have Clint Capela, John Collins, Dewayne Dedmon, Bruno Fernando, and Damian Jones at the power […]

Jordan Bell Gets Traded Again

Houston Rockets forward Jordan Bell has been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Bruno Caboclo. This is the second time that Bell has been moved in the last two days. Bell isn't expected to see much playing time while Jonas Valanciunas is healthy. Caboclo is someone that can play multiple positions, but will […]

Trent Williams In Redskins Plans

The Washington Redskins under new head coach Ron Rivera firmly have left tackle Trent Williams in their plans for the 2020 season. They are not intent on trading him like the previous regime was. But it's unclear what Williams' intentions are after he held out in 2019 and didn't get paid. One thing to note […]
