LaMelo Ball Drills Career-High Seven Threes

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was on fire from beyond the arc during Monday's blowout win over the Rockets, as he drilled a career-high seven threes. Ball shot just 38.9 percent from the field, though he added 10 assists and seven rebounds in 32 minutes. The 19-year-old has looked good in the five contests since […]

Jrue Holiday Ruled Out Against Nuggets

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday officially won't play on Monday against the Nuggets. With news coming out that Bryn Forbes would be starting in Holiday's place, it was expected that meant Holiday would be inactive. While there hasn't been word if Holiday is out for rest or for something else, him being such a late […]

Cameron Payne Out Monday Against Cavs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) didn't play against the Cavaliers on Monday night due to a foot sprain. Payne is averaging 17.5 minutes per game this season with 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, so this isn't huge news outside of deep leagues. But keep an eye on Payne's availability moving […]

Bryn Forbes Starting For Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes is starting in place of Jrue Holiday on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. There's been no word yet on why Holiday isn't starting, though he may just be resting. Forbes has 18 points last time out and has seen his scoring inch up lately, so he's an appealing DFS […]

Jamal Murray Will Play Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) will play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Murray didn't play last game against the Kings, which led to an expanded role for Monte Morris and Markus Howard. With Murray back in the lineup, Morris loses a lot of his value. Meanwhile, it's a tough matchup for Murray, but he's […]

Kyle Lowry Won't Return After Leaving With Back Spasms

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry left Monday's game against the Grizzlies with back spasms and will not return. Lowry had four points in eight minutes of action. With Lowry out, expect to see more of Fred Vanvleet running the offense, with more minutes at guard for Terrance Davis. If Lowry misses time, VanVleet would […]

Facundo Campazzo Available To Play Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 29-year-old rookie missed the team's last game against the Lakes, but when healthy usually plays between 10 and 15 minutes. His production hasn't been great, as before he scored 11 points in 19 minutes against Utah he had totaled […]

E'Twaun Moore Starting For Chris Paul

The Phoenix Suns will start guard E'Twaun Moore at guard on Monday with Chris Paul (hamstring) out. Phoenix will be shorthanded in this game against the Cavaliers, leaving Moore to play an expanded role. In nine games, he's averaging 14.8 minutes per contest and shooting just 34 percent from the floor and 15.4 percent from […]

Alex Caruso Out Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Caruso has played 24 or more minutes in two of the last three games. This should be a chance for Talen Horton-Tucker to see an increase in minutes, making him an intriguing DFS sleeper option against a Thunder […]

Larry Nance Jr. Has Surgery On Finger

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (finger) underwent surgery on Monday and is expected to miss approximately six weeks. Cleveland decided to start center Jarrett Allen in Nance's place on Monday night, but there's no guarantee that Allen's spot in the starting five is permanent. Cedi Osman is third on the Cavs in points during […]

Al-Farouq Aminu Is Off The Injury Report

Orlando Magic forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) is officially off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Portland. While it looks like Aminu will be able to make his season debut, we'd expect to see the Magic bring him along slowly. Once he's back in the rotation, the defensive-minded Aminu would take minutes away from […]

Nassir Little Ruled Out For Tuesday Against Magic

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (knee) won't play against the Magic on Tuesday. Little last played on Feb. 1. Expect to see more of Rodney Hood and Carmelo Anthony, though both players struggled in Portland's last game, so Hood getting 30 minutes and Anthony playing a key role off the bench doesn't necessarily mean […]

Jarrett Allen Starting For Injured Larry Nance Jr.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is starting Monday against the Suns with Larry Nance Jr. (finger) sidelined for approximately six weeks. It appears the Cavs are going with a two-center lineup with Allen starting alongside Andre Drummond. It's a strange lineup since neither player is much of a shooter, so it's hard to know at […]

Damian Lillard Set To Suit Up For Tuesday’s Game

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) will play in Tuesday's contest versus Orlando despite having missed practice Monday. Lillard missed his first game of the year due to an abdominal ailment last week, but he returned to log 29 points and nine assists in 38 minutes Saturday. While his upside will be capped […]

Eric Paschall Cleared To Suit Up Monday

Golden State Warriors power forward Eric Paschall (knee) will return to the mix for Monday's contest versus the Spurs. Paschall's absence has been stemmed at two games due to knee soreness, with his return giving the team much-needed frontcourt reinforcement in the wake of back-to-back games with Draymond Green and Juan Toscano-Anderson serving as the […]

D'Angelo Russell Receives Green Light To Suit Up Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) has been cleared to play in Monday's game versus Dallas despite having been questionable throughout the day due to a right quad contusion. Russell has dealt with the injury on and off for the past three weeks, but he appears healthy enough to take the floor with no […]

Desmond Bane Makes First Career Start Monday

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard/small forward Desmond Bane will enter the starting five for the first time in his career Monday. Bane earns the elevation after having averaged 9.7 PPG off the bench across his first 18 professional appearances, proving to be an elite-level marksman, knocking down threes at a 48.6 percent clip. Bane's spot among […]

Derrick White Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Golden State even before Monday's contest. Head coach Gregg Popovich noted Monday that White has not yet been cleared to play in both legs of back-to-backs as he works his way into the mix after toe surgery. White has […]

Mike Conley Will Miss Second Straight Contest Tuesday

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics due to hamstring tightness. Joe Ingles entered the starting five in place of Conley on Sunday, a role that he is likely to reprise, therefore making him an appealing DFS selection. When starting this season, Ingles is averaging […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) will miss Monday's contest against Cleveland due a sore right hamstring. Paul's absence will be his first of the year, paving the way for Devin Booker to see increased ball-handling duties, thereby raising his DFS upside. With Cameron Payne (foot) also unavailable, fantasy managers can look to Jevon […]

Lonnie Walker IV Will Return For Tuesday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has been given the green light to rejoin the team for Tuesday's contest against the Warriors, although he's likely to face a minutes restriction, per head coach Gregg Popovich. Battling a stomach bug that has cost him two contests, Walker has ceded way in the […]

Jaylen Brown Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday’s Game

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Tuesday's contest versus the Jazz as he battles knee soreness. Grant Williams has started in place of Brown during the past two games, and would stand to see his fantasy intrigue evaporate should the Celtics get their second-leading scorer […]

Raul Neto Faces 18-20-Minute Cap During Start Monday

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will enter the starting five in place of Russell Westbrook (rest) for Monday's game versus Chicago, but Neto will have his minutes restricted to a maximum of 18-20 as he works his way back from a groin ailment. The minutes ceiling is essentially a death knell to Neto's […]

Gaetan Haas Moved To Injured Reserve

Edmonton Oilers center Gaetan Haas will be placed on the Injured Reserve. The Swiss native was hurt against the Senators last week. There isn't any news on how long Haas will be out of the lineup. Forward Tyler Ennis was called up from the team's taxi squad. Haas has played in two games this season […]

Davis Bertans Jumps Into Starting Five Monday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Davis Bertans will make his first start of the season Monday against Chicago, taking the place of Deni Avdija. Head coach Scott Brooks cited a desire to get Bertans' offensive production going as the reason for the decision. Bertans has been persistent in attempting to get his three-point shot down since […]

Alex Len Makes Second Consecutive Start Monday

Washington Wizards center Alex Len has entered the starting five for the second straight outing Monday versus the Bulls. Despite earning his first start with the Wizards on Sunday, Len played just eight minutes and scored two points, delivering a dud from a fantasy perspective. Curiously enough, he played 27 and 24 minutes, respectively, in […]

Otto Porter Without Timetable For Return To Action

Chicago Bulls small/power forward Otto Porter (back) has been tagged with the dreaded no-timetable-to-return designation, per head coach Billy Donovan. Porter will miss his fourth consecutive game Monday as he works his way through back spasms, an issue that appears set to keep him sidelined for additional contests to come. Without Porter in the mix, […]

Al-Farouq Aminu Returns To Practice, Could Play Tuesday

Orlando Magic power forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) was able to suit up for practice Monday, with head coach Steve Clifford leaving the door open for a return to game action Tuesday against Portland. Aminu, who underwent knee surgery, last took the floor Nov. 29, 2019. With Aaron Gordon (ankle) sidelined, Aminu's return could give the […]

Curtis McElhinney Gets The Nod Monday

Tampa Bay Lightning backup goaltender Curtis McElhinney will start Monday versus the Nashville Predators. McElhinney is yet to start a game this season. The former Colorado College Tigers goalie has a career regular-season record of 90-89-18, a goals-against-average of 2.89 and a .906 save percentage.
