Stephen Curry Starting, Andrew Wiggins Up In The Air
The Golden State Warriors will have point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) available, but forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) is still questionable to play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

De'Aaron Fox Will Play Against Toronto
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) will play Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Fox tweaked his hamstring Wednesday and left the game after only five minutes.

Anthony Davis And Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Out Friday
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (groin) and guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) will not play Friday against the Chicago Bulls.

Can Colts Defense Slow Down Bills Offense?
The Indianapolis Colts Defense has a tall task to kick off the NFL postseason. They take on quarterback Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, a team that has one of the best offenses in football. The Bills had the second-best scoring offense, and Allen threw a career-high 37 touchdowns. The Colts defense has been solid all year, […]

Trey Burton Not Reliable On Wild-Card Weekend
Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton was mostly irrelevant over the last five weeks of the season, so he should not be relied on in the first round of the playoffs against the Bills. Over the last four games, Burton did not see a target in two of them. He also regularly played in less […]

Obi Toppin Still At Least A Week Away From Playing
New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin (calf) is still at least a week away from returning to the court, despite warming up ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Head coach Tom Thibodeau stated it will "take some time" before Toppin is ready to play again. Calf injuries are always tough, as they […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Not Worthy Of Starting Consideration
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will make his first career playoff start this week against the Bills.

He had nine straight games […]

Evan Fournier Ruled Out Against Houston
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (back) will not play Friday against the Houston Rockets. Fournier has been struggling with back spasms and had a real shot at playing Friday.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) has been seesawing in and out of the team's injury report over the past 24 hours, with the latest update deeming him questionable to play Friday versus the Clippers due to a left quad contusion.

Joe Ingles Will Miss First Regular Season Game Since 2015
Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks as he battles a left Achilles tendon strain.

Cole Anthony Enters Starting Lineup Friday, Faces Minutes Cap
Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Cole Anthony will enter the starting five for the first time in his career Friday versus the Rockets, taking over for Markelle Fultz (knee), who will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a torn ACL.

Boston Clears Kemba Walker To Return To Practice
Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been given the thumbs up to rejoin the team during practices as he attempts to ramp up his workload ahead of a return to game action. Walker has been bothered by a knee ailment, which has kept him out to begin the year. In his place, Marcus […]

Christian Wood Will Suit Up For Friday’s Game
Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood (knee) has been cleared to take the floor for Friday's contest against the Magic. Wood missed Wednesday's contest and was questionable for most of Friday before ultimately receiving the green light. His return likely means a shift back to the second unit for DeMarcus Cousins, which decreases his DFS […]

T.Y. Hilton An Average WR3 Against Bills
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is just an average WR3 option this week against the Bills. He had just three catches in each of his last two games to end the season, and the Bills Defense ranks fifth against opposing wide receivers. The Bills defense also ranks inside the top-10 allowing the least amount […]

Russell Westbrook Cleared To Take Floor Friday
Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (finger) has been given the green light to suit up for Friday's game versus the Celtics despite a recent finger dislocation. It's unclear at this stage how the injury may affect Westbrook, but having logged at least a double-double in every game he has played this season, there's little […]

Trevor Story A Dark-Horse Option For Blue Jays
Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story could be a dark-horse option for the Toronto Blue Jays after they were the runner-up for shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was traded to the Mets in a blockbuster trade involving starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco on Thursday. Toronto has also been connected to outfielder George Springer, but his reported asking price […]

Jeff Teague Receives Green Light To Return For Friday’s Game
Boston Celtics point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's contest against the Wizards, stemming his absence due to an ankle injury at two games. His return zaps Payton Pritchard of his fantasy intrigue, as the rookie filled in with an increased role as a reserve with Teague down. While […]

Mets Have Discussed Kris Bryant
The New York Mets have discussed third baseman Kris Bryant with the Chicago Cubs recently. The Cubs like one of the Mets top prospects in catcher Francisco Alvarez, but president Sandy Anderson said on Thursday that he isn't trading any top prospects. New York traded away infielders Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez, right-hander Josh Wolf […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Friday’s Contest Due To Personal Reasons
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been deemed unavailable to take the floor for Friday's game against the Kings. His absence paves the way for Fred Vanvleet to take over full-time PG duties, which gives him immense DFS upside, especially when considering the difficulty that Sacramento has had in containing opposing PGs thus […]

Nyheim Hines An Average Flex Option
Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has decent flex value in a wild-card matchup against the Bills on Saturday. Hines had a productive season, recording over 850 total yards and seven total touchdowns. However, he has averaged only nine touches per game over the last five weeks of the season. He also has not recorded […]

Cowboys Defense Lets Go Of Mike Nolan
The Dallas Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Mike Nolan on Friday after just one season with the team.

Jonathan Taylor A Solid Option On Wild-Card Weekend
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor had a great rookie campaign and will look to ride that momentum into wild-card weekend.

Donovan Peoples-Jones Clears Concussion Protocol
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocols on Friday and will practice after missing the last two days. Peoples-Jones suffered a head injury in the Week 17 win over the Steelers, but even though he cleared the protocol, he's likely to be questionable to face Pittsburgh for the second […]
