Derrick Favors, Jrue Holiday And Brandon Ingram Out Monday

The New Orleans Pelicans will be without forward/center Derrick Favors (hamstring), guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) and guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) Monday against the Detroit Pistons. J.J. Redick (hamstring) was already ruled out so New Orleans will be severely undermanned in this one. The Pelicans are running a starting lineup of Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, E'Twaun […]

Morgan Rielly Out At Least Eight Weeks With Injury

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly will miss at least the next eight weeks of action after fracturing his foot in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old had collected an assist, three shots and two blocks in 21:03 of ice time in the contest. The news comes as a big blow to […]

John Klingberg Likely To Play On Tuesday

Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg will likely re-enter the lineup as his team faces off versus the Colorado Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. The 27-year-old, who injured his knee cap while blocking a shot in the Winter Classic, skated in his usual spot on the Stars' top pair alongside blueliner Esa Lindell in practice on […]

Trae Young Could Sit Out on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He aggravated his hamstring at practice on Saturday and didn't play in Sunday's game. The Hawks will have a better idea after shootaround on Tuesday. Deandre Bembry and Brian Goodwin would see more minutes if Young is out […]

Daniel Theis is Ruled Out for Monday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Vincent Poirier (finger) and Enes Kanter are going to get plenty of run in this one. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams should get involved as well, but Kanter is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He's […]

Jrue Holiday is Unlikely to Play Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is unlikely to suit up for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He continues to deal with a left elbow strain, but has a better chance of playing on Thursday. J.J. Redick (hamstring) is out and Brandon Ingram (knee) is listed as questionable. The Pelicans will likely be […]

Clint Capela, P.J. Tucker Are Active Tuesday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) and forward P.J. Tucker (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Isaiah Hartenstein will lose most of his streaming appeal with Capela returning. However, there's a chance Capela sits out on Wednesday, but we'll see what happens. Tucker hasn't been great this season, but has some […]

Russell Westbrook is Resting on Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Rockets have a back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday, so it's not surprising to see Westbrook sitting out in the front end. James Harden and Eric Gordon will see increased usage while Westbrook is resting.

Daniel Gafford is Probable for Monday

Chicago Bulls center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's expected to join the starting five, while Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is sidelined. Gafford had 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes last game. He appears to be a reliable […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee, illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He appears to be getting closer to a return, but won't play yet. There's a chance that he does suit up for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Gorgui Dieng will continue to have reliable fantasy […]

J.J. Redick is Ruled Out for Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with a left hamstring strain and will sit this one out. E'Twaun Moore, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Frank Jackson, and Josh Hart will see more minutes coming their way. Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable, while Jrue Holiday […]

Brandon Ingram is Questionable on Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with right knee soreness and it's worth noting it's the same knee that sidelined him earlier in the season. E'Twaun Moore, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Josh Hart could see a higher usage without Ingram on the […]

Frank Ntilikina is Probable for Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's been battling a lingering groin issue for awhile now. There's a good chance that he plays through the discomfort on Tuesday. He'll split up the point guard minutes with Elfrid Payton. Ntilikina will likely only have […]

Marcus Morris Remains Out on Tuesday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. That marks five games in a row that Morris will be sidelined due to a sore neck. The Knicks have been cautious here, so it's unclear when Morris will get back on the court. Reggie Bullock and […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Likely Out Next Two Games

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee, illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Golden State and Wednesday against the Kings. He was able to practice on Monday, but head coach Rick Carlisle said Porzingis remains under the weather. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight Powell will continue to have increased value until Porzingis is back. The Mavs […]

Aaron Gordon Might Play Versus Kings

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was limited during Sunday's practice due to left calf tightness. Fantasy owners are going to have to wait until closer to tip-off for more information. Khem Birch wouldn't be worth looking at as a streaming […]

D.J. Augustin Could Sit Out on Monday

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was unable to play last game, but his left knee is reportedly feeling better. Markelle Fultz will return to his normal role if Augustin is back on Monday.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/13/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Zion Williamson Could Make Season Debut Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (knee) is planning to make his season debut against the Utah Jazz on Thursday.
