D.J. Augustin Won't Play Thursday

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Augustin had an MRI taken of his knee on Wednesday, but the results haven't been revealed yet. Markelle Fultz will continue to see increased value and minutes with the Magic banged up. He's looking like a solid […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Play Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's unclear when Towns is going to get back on the court.

Jeff Teague, Treveon Graham Traded to Hawks

Minnesota Timberwolves guards Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham have been traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Allen Crabbe. The change of scenery might be nice for Teague, but won't do much to help his fantasy value. He'll likely be backing up Trae Young off the bench. Deandre Bembry and Kevin Huerter could lose […]

Ricky Rubio Will Play on Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (personal) will play in Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He missed their last game due to the birth of his child. Rubio is back with the team and isn't expected to be limited at all. Elie Okobo will head back to the second unit and won't have as […]

Derrick Favors Will Play on Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (hamstring) said he will play in Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's dealing with a right hamstring strain, but it will cost him two games.

Reggie Bullock is Downgraded to Questionable

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (neck) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as probable, but might have tweaked his neck at shootaround. Marcus Morris (neck) isn't expected to play, so Kevin Knox could be asked to start on Thursday. Knox could be worth a look […]

Jaylen Brown is Questionable Against Bucks

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered a sprained right thumb during Wednesday's contest. Marcus Smart will likely be asked to jump into the starting five if Brown is unable to play. Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, and Gordon Hayward would be asked to […]

Jayson Tatum is Removed from Injury Report

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Wednesday's game due to a minor knee issue.

Steven Adams Doesn't Practice Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's dealing with a bruised right knee and will be re-evaluated on Friday. The Thunder play on Friday, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect Adams to suit up for that one. Nerlens Noel (ankle) is banged up as well, so Mike […]

Gary Harris is Ruled Out Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is the second game in a row that Harris has missed due to a groin issue. It's unclear how long Harris is going to be sidelined. Torrey Craig and Michael Porter Jr. should see increased minutes […]

Paul Millsap Will Sit Out Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the fifth game in a row that Millsap has missed due to a left knee issue. Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee will see increased time without Millsap available. Grant is worth owning in most formats […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Questionable on Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Porzingis did not play in Wednesday's game due to soreness in his right knee. The Mavs are going to continue to be cautious with Porzingis, so we'll see if he plays on Friday. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight […]

Jacob Evans is Out Indefinitely

Golden State Warriors guard Jacob Evans (head) is out indefinitely as he enters the NBA's concussion protocol. He's been diagnosed with a concussion and broken nose.

Gorgui Dieng Logs Double-Double, Attempts Season-High 15 Shots

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng may not remain a fantasy commodity for much longer with All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns likely to return sooner rather than later, but Dieng again proved Wednesday that he has legitimate fantasy upside when given the chance to log consistent starters minutes. During his 29 minutes in a defeat to the […]

Malcolm Brogdon Packs Stat Sheet In 21-Point Effort

Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon collected 21 points in a second consecutive outing during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Any concerns of how quickly Brogdon would re-acclimate to the mix following his five-game absence have been quickly squelched, as he added six rebounds and six assists in addition to his 9-for-18 shooting performance. […]

Domantas Sabonis Ties Season High With 29 Points

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Domantas Sabonis was virtually unstoppable during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, compiling a season-high-tying 29 points on 13-for-17 shooting, while collecting 13 rebounds to record his fifth consecutive double-double.
