Deandre Ayton Ruled Out For Friday's Contest

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ayton continues to sit out due to a lingering right ankle sprain, but hopefully he can return soon. In the meantime, Bismack Biyombo will be asked to make the start and play heavy minutes without Ayton available. Fellow […]

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out Versus Grizzlies

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a left calf strain on Sunday and now will miss his third straight game because of it. His absence will mean Hassan Whiteside will get another start with Udoka Azubuike getting backup minutes. Whiteside has struggled […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has missed each of the last five games due to a concussion. Mitchell didn't travel with the team for Friday's contest, so the chances of him suiting up seem unlikely. Joe Ingles would shift back to the […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Doesn't Practice Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) did not participate during Thursday's practice. Despite that, head coach Stephen Silas expects Porter to be available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so possibly he feels better before game-time tomorrow. Jalen Green would do more of the […]

Patrick Beverley Unlikely To Play Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game, according to head coach Chris Finch. Fantasy managers should expect Beverley to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell should have increased roles against the Golden State Warriors on […]

Brandon Ingram Doesn't Practice Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) was unable to practice on Thursday. He has missed each of the last two games and could be looking at a third absence on Friday. Josh Hart (ankle) sat out of practice as well on Thursday. That means, Herbert Jones will continue to have strong streaming appeal until […]

Tobias Harris Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed shootaround while he deals with a non-COVID related illness. The organization is hopeful Harris plays, but the final decision will likely be made after pregame warmups. Joel Embiid and Seth Curry would be asked to […]

Anthony Davis Available On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as probable coming into this game, so he was likely on the injury report as a precaution. The Lakers are going to need a big performance from Davis with LeBron James (knee) out on Thursday. Both […]

LeBron James Ruled Out Against 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hopefully this is more of a rest day than anything else and James won't miss multiple games. Anthony Davis (knee) and Russell Westbrook will get a significant boost in value with James sidelined. Carmelo Anthony, Malik Monk, […]
