Giovani Bernard Logs Theoretical Limited Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard (hip, knee) would have been a limited practice participant Wednesday had the team gone through with an actual session. Bernard returned from injured reserve to log 13 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown during the team's Wild Card Round victory over Philadelphia last week. Bernard's performance was […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Will Start, Be Less Than 100 Percent Saturday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder, thumb) will be under center for the team's Divisional Round matchup vs. Green Bay on Saturday, but he will be far from completely healthy. Garoppolo has battled myriad injuries down the stretch, but he has remained the team's top option under center, even as first-round selection Trey Lance […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Unable To Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice due to a back injury that kept him limited Tuesday. Valdes-Scantling sustained the ailment during Week 18, but like his teammates, he received a week of rest during the Wild Card Round. With the announcement that Randall Cobb (groin) will be […]

Bryn Forbes Won't Make Team Debut On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Bryn Forbes will not be making his team debut against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Forbes was recently part of a three-team trade that sent him to Denver from the San Antonio Spurs. The trade was finalized on Wednesday, so it's just a matter of the Nuggets clearing Forbes. There should […]

Breshad Perriman A Projected Non-Participant Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hip, abdomen) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice, an indication of his injury status heading into Sunday's matchup vs. the Rams. Perriman played 49% of the team's offensive snaps during the Wild Card Round, logging just one catch for five yards on three targets while […]

LaMelo Ball Available Against Celtics

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was unable to play on Monday due to a non-COVID related illness. Kelly Oubre Jr. will rejoin the rotation as well on Wednesday. He has missed the last four games while following the league's health and safety guidelines. […]

Gary Trent Jr. Sitting Out Against Mavericks

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This marks the sixth game in a row that Trent has missed due to left ankle swelling. It's uncertain when Trent will be able to get back on the court. He has attempted to warm up pregame, […]

Ronald Jones II Would Have Missed Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) would not have taken the field for Wednesday's practice as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury that kept him sidelined during the Wild Card Round. When healthy, Jones stands to serve as Tampa's RB1, although Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Giovani Bernard were […]

Maxi Kleber, Reggie Bullock Active On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (knee) and guard Reggie Bullock (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. However, neither player is expected to bring much to the table in this game. Kristaps Porzingis is back, which means Kleber won't be a recommended streaming option. Bullock normally gets significant playing time, but doesn't […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Practices In Full Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was able to log a full practice session Wednesday, a huge positive when it comes to a potential return to action for Sunday's game. Jerick McKinnon served as the team's RB1 during its Wild Card Round victory, a role that he would likely cede to Edwards-Helaire should […]

CJ Elleby, Dennis Smith Jr. Available On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guards CJ Elleby (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The Blazers are finally getting healthy, so neither of these players have too much value. Elleby is likely only going to play minutes in the teens going forward. Smith has shown flashes during […]

Tyus Jones Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Tyus Jones has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Milwaukee. The absence will mark just the second of the season for Jones, who has been an invaluable member of the team's second unit (8.2 points, 4.2 assists per game), […]

Devonte' Graham Uncertain For Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He hasn't looked the same lately and continues struggling with his shot. Graham has been dealing with left ankle soreness, so possibly that's why he is struggling from the floor. His absence would likely be filled […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Play Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to get through Wednesday's practice, so the team has ruled him out a full day in advance. JaVale McGee should be asked to make another start with Bismack Biyombo getting more playing time. Right now, […]

Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball Will Miss Next Four Games

Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Zach LaVine (knee) and point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) have been ruled out for the team's upcoming four-contest stretch due to respective knee ailments. Both will stay back in Chicago to continue receiving treatment as the team embarks on its upcoming road trip. Without either in the mix, DeMar DeRozan […]

Rudy Gay Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Utah Jazz small/power forward Rudy Gay (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right heel soreness. Gay's absence figures to open up more offensive usage among the second unit for Jordan Clarkson and Eric Paschall, although Utah's rotations stand to be in flux with Donovan Mitchell (concussion) also missing […]

Kelly Olynyk Likely To Play Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is expected to play during Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has not suited up for a game since November 10, so there could be some rust. It'll be interesting to see how Olynyk fits back into the rotation after all this time. Trey Lyles has been playing […]

Killian Hayes Doubtful For Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hip) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a right hip contusion during Tuesday's contest. He was only able to play nine minutes in that contest before exiting and not returning. It sounds like the Pistons are likely to take the cautious approach here. […]

Nicolas Batum Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

LA Clippers power forward Nicolas Batum was placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Denver. Batum has been snakebitten by injuries this season, with his latest malady -- his second time entering the protocols -- popping up on the heels of a season-high 32-point performance. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Gets Green Light To Play Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's contest vs. Boston, stemming his absence under the league's health and safety protocols at four games. Oubre has morphed into a long-range dynamo during his first season with the Hornets, with his 2.9 made triples on a nightly basis […]

Alex Caruso Returns To Action For Wednesday’s Contest

Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Alex Caruso has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's game vs. Cleveland, marking his first game action since Dec. 20. Caruso missed almost a month of action due to the combination of a foot injury and the league's health and safety protocols, with his return coming at a key time […]

Norman Powell Remains Unavailable For Wednesday’s Game

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Miami due to personal reasons, marking his sixth consecutive absence. Nassir Little has been the primary beneficiary of Powell being sidelined, as the third-year wing has scored in double figures in each of his last five games, including adding […]

Jalen Suggs Returns To Starting Five Wednesday

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Jalen Suggs has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest vs. the 76ers, marking his first start since Nov. 29. Suggs appeared in Orlando's past three outings off the bench, averaging 12.7 points, five rebounds, and four assists, while shooting 58.6 percent from the floor overall. Dating back […]

Robert Williams III, Marcus Smart Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) and point guard Marcus Smart have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. Charlotte. Williams' absence will mark his second in a row, paving the way for Grant Williams to stick with the starting five and serve as an upside DFS option. Smart's absence has now climbed to five […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Remains Unavailable For Wednesday’s Game

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Philadelphia, marking his seventh straight absence due to a sore left hamstring. It sounds as if Carter is progressing toward a return, but without him in the frontcourt, DFS managers can eye Moritz Wagner as a GPP option. Carter […]

Tyler Herro Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Portland. Herro has thrived in his third professional season, emerging as one of the frontrunners for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award while averaging 20.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, […]
