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 […]

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Marvin Bagley Will Be Limited on Monday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) is returning to the rotation for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's returning from an eight game absence due to a left foot issue.

Golden State Warriors forward Damion Lee is not expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Warriors aren't expected to sign him to his new deal until Wednesday due to cap reasons. Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III, and Jordan Poole should see more minutes until Lee is back.
