Ricky Rubio is Ruled Out for Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to play 29 minutes on Friday, but will sit this one out due to right ankle soreness. Elie Okobo will jump into the starting five with Rubio sidelined here. Tyler Johnson (knee) and Jevon Carter […]

George Hill, Frank Mason III Out on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guards George Hill (hamstring) and Frank Mason III (oblique) will be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Hill is expected to miss a few games due to a left hamstring strain. The Bucks might be cautious since hamstring issues sometimes take longer than expected to heal. Eric Bledsoe will absorb some […]

Michael Carter-Williams (PG, ORL): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make something clear before we keep discussing MCW: this is a bench player, full stop. Michael Carter-Williams should only be a target for fantasy owners playing deep leagues given his playing time (around 17 minutes per game) and a limited role on […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He returned from a one game absence on Friday after missing a game due to a shoulder issue. It sounds like a suffered a minor hamstring issue in the process, but will be fine for Sunday's contest. Fantasy owners shouldn't […]

Donte DiVincenzo Will Suit Up for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (ankle) has been removed from the injury report and is available for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He tweaked his left ankle during Tuesday's game and was unable to play on Friday. The Bucks basically used a committee approach to fill the void, so there won't be much change […]

Sekou Doumbouya Will Start on Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya will jump into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Doumbouya didn't play at all during Friday's game, but will get back into the rotation here. Markieff Morris (hip) is going to sit this one out, so Doumbouya should get plenty of run in Sunday's contest. He'll […]

Barclay Goodrow Off to Slow Start in First Line Audition

San Jose Sharks forward Barclay Goodrow was tapped to play on San Jose's top line between Evander Kane and Timo Meier after Tomas Hertl was injured two games ago, but has just five shots and no points to show for it. He is getting more than 19 minutes of time on ice in those two […]

Danuel House Jr. (SG/SF, HOU): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: It makes sense to find House rostered in one out of every four leagues at the very least. Not only has he been putting on a show lately, but Danuel House Jr. has actually been a good player and top-80 player on the full […]

Mattise Thybulle (SG/SF, PHI): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: In the last bunch of WW pickups before the trade deadline goes past us, Mattise Thybulle might be one of the most interesting players out there not rostered in that many leagues. Philadelphia looks bad as an on-paper contender. The Sixers will need to […]

Malik Monk (PG/SG, CHA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone playing about 20 minutes nightly, it is surprising that only 9% of fantasy owners out there are rostering Malik Monk. No matter the production, Monk is a minute-eater every game the Hornets play and those have only ramped up lately: in […]

Jakob Poeltl (C, SA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm sorry for my friends because they must be tired of me telling them to go pick up Jakob Poeltl from waivers. Seriously, I've been reminding them for days now. Just in case you don't know Poeltl, he's the most Spursian of Spurs Poster […]

Austin Rivers (PG/SG, HOU): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Houston is trying to find help everywhere these days. Austin Rivers just happens to be another guy providing it, and not just in small amounts. It always amazes me how players that get a lot of minutes of playing time are rostered and owned […]

Michael Porter Jr. Won't Play on Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He suffered a right ankle injury on Friday, but he didn't seem too concerned about the issue. The Nuggets are going to be cautious and have Porter sit this one out. Malik Beasley and Torrey Craig should […]

Single Tally From Tyler Toffoli as Kings Fall to Ducks

Los Angeles Kings forward Tyler Toffoli pocketed a power-play goal on Saturday night, giving the Kings their only score in a 3-1 loss. Toffoli now has two goals and 16 shots in his last three games, with both markers coming on the power play. On pace to break 20 goals for the fourth time in […]

Gary Harris Will Play on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Harris missed each of the last two games, but will suit up for this one. Monte Morris and Torrey Craig are expected to lose some minutes and value with Harris returning. It doesn't sound […]
