James Wiseman Should Play Versus Clippers

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was unable to practice on Wednesday due to the NBA's health and safety protocols.

Six Teams Interested In Orlando Brown Jr.

Sources have indicated that Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr.'s camp has had ongoing trade conversations with six teams.

Eric Gordon Might Sit Versus Kings

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to left knee soreness.

Devin Booker Might Sit Out Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was able to fully practice on Wednesday, so it sounds like Booker is heading in the right direction. Abdel Nader will lose some value with Booker likely returning, but he's worth holding while Cameron Johnson remains […]

Terrence Ross Questionable For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The Magic are already shorthanded for this game, so losing Ross would be a significant blow to the rotation. Dwayne Bacon has played increased minutes lately, but isn't a reliable fantasy option. DFS players should be able to […]

Brandin Cooks Restructures Deal

The Houston Texans restructured wide receiver Brandin Cooks' deal to create $6.53 million in salary cap space on Thursday.
