Stephen Curry Will Return on Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) will return to the court for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. This was his expected return date, but it appears Curry is actually going to make his timetable. There should be some restrictions on Curry, but he should be owned in all fantasy formats going forward. Ky […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out for Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was able to get some shots up at shootaround, but didn't feel good enough to take the court here. Aaron Holiday and Justin Holiday will see increased playing time for the second straight game. Fantasy owners should […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Might Sit Out on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's reportedly dealing with left knee soreness, so the Pistons may elect to take the cautious approach here. The Pistons season isn't going anywhere, so there is no need to push Brown if he's not 100 percent […]

Ben Simmons Will Be Evaluated in Two Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is battling a nerve impingement in his lower back and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Sixers haven't given an exact timetable for his return, but he could very well miss more time than two weeks. Fantasy owners should hold Simmons for now and hope for the best. […]

Eric Gordon is Questionable Against Grizzlies

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He received the start for Russell Westbrook (thumb) on Monday, but left after 28 minutes due to right knee soreness. Westbrook has been cleared to return on Wednesday, so Gordon will see his minutes and usage reduced back […]

Russell Westbrook Will Play on Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (thumb) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Westbrook did not play in Monday's game after attending the memorial service of the late Kobe Bryant. It appears he's healthy and ready to play on Wednesday, so James Harden won't see as […]

Kemba Walker Might Suit Up on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has a chance to play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. It sounds like the Celtics are taking it slow and letting Walker get back to full speed. Fantasy owners should check back on […]

Brook Lopez is Probable for Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sat out of Monday's game against the Washington Wizards due to back soreness. Robin Lopez would head back to the second unit, but fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off for more information. The Raptors are […]

Frank Ntilikina is Doubtful Versus Charlotte

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He did not play in Monday's game due to a lingering groin issue. Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as probable, so he should see a bulk of the playing time if Ntilikina is unable to play. Dennis […]

Elfrid Payton is Expected to Return on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed each of the last two games due to right ankle soreness. He was playing very well before the All-Star break, so hopefully that continues when he returns to the court. Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed […]

Luke Kennard Could Return After Road Trip

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (knee) might be able to get back on the court after the team's current road trip, according to head coach Dwane Casey. Kennard is expected to miss at least three more games, but will hopefully be back by the beginning of March. There's a good chance that he'll be limited […]

Damian Lillard Will Sit Versus Celtics

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This marks the third game in a row that Lillard has missed due to a groin issue. There's a good chance that he sits out of Thursday's contest as well. C.J. McCollum will be asked to do […]

Wilson Chandler is Questionable Versus Wizards

Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler (personal) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Fantasy owners should have a better idea about his status following Wednesday's shootaround. Rodions Kurucs and Garrett Temple should be more involved if Chandler is unable to play. Neither player is much of a fantasy option in any […]

Hunter Harvey Recovering From Flu, Spring Debut Unknown

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Hunter Harvey is still recovering from the flu but has been able to throw in the bullpen, per MASNSports.com's Roch Kubatko. He is still recovering from congestion and does not have a timetable for his spring debut. The 25-year-old has long been one of the O's higher-valued prospects but has been […]

Rowdy Tellez Launches Spring Homer

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Rowdy Tellez cranked his first homer of the spring off of Phillies right-hander Jake Arrieta on Tuesday.

Luis Severino Needs Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow) needs Tommy John surgery. Severino came into spring training with forearm discomfort and elbow issues, and the pitcher got bad news upon further evaluation.

New York Mets infielder/outfielder J.D. Davis (shoulder) will undergo an MRI exam on his left shoulder Wednesday, the result of a jammed left shoulder suffered in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

Nate Pearson Dominates In Spring Debut

Toronto Blue Jays starter Nate Pearson flashed his potential big-league promise in his first taste of Grapefruit League action against the Yankees on Tuesday. He struck out all three batters he faced in an impressive 12-pitch frame, including one looking and two via the whiff. Ranked as MLB's eighth overall prospect, Pearson has intriguing dynasty […]

Rafael Devers Could Make Spring Training Debut on Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers could potentially make his Grapefruit League debut on Friday against the Twins. The 23-year-old arrived late at spring training camp because of the birth of his second daughter in the Dominican Republic, causing him to miss the start of the Red Sox exhibition schedule. Devers is coming off […]

Austin Gomber Throws Two Innings on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Austin Gomber got the start for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Washington Nationals.

David Fletcher Hears Praise From Joe Maddon

Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder David Fletcher has earned early praise from his new manager Joe Maddon. Fletcher enjoyed a solid season last year, hitting .290 while playing excellent infield defense and appearing in a career-high 154 games. Now Maddon wants to utilize him in the outfield. "I want to get him in the game as […]

Brandon Marsh Injures Elbow

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brandon Marsh (elbow) suffered a left elbow strain and could be on the shelf for the rest of the spring. The 22-year-old prospect suffered the injury attempting a diving catch in the outfield and his timetable to return is unknown at this time. The Angels were hoping that Marsh could compete for […]

Lewis Brinson Hits a Home Run on Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson went 2-for-2 with a home run in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros. Brinson is fighting for a job, as the Marlins brought in plenty of competition for the former top prospect. Brinson has been legitimately awful since joining the Marlins, but his perceived upside may grant him […]

Brandon Kintzler Pitches a Scoreless Inning on Tuesday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher and likely closer Brandon Kintzler made his Marlins debut on Tuesday, pitching a perfect inning. Kintzler came in to pitch the third inning against the Houston Astros and retired the side in order. For now, it looks like Kintzler is in the lead for the ninth inning role in Miami, and […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Nearing Return To Game Action

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (elbow) will throw a live bullpen session on Tuesday with hopes of returning to the mound in the next few days.

Jose Urena Allows Just One Hit in Two Innings of Work

Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Urena got the start in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game and tossed two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out one. Urena's role has yet to be determined, although the fact that he threw every pitch from the stretch may be telling us that he's destined for the bullpen. Urena […]
