Frank Mason III Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Orlando Magic point guard Frank Mason III (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus Sacramento due to a strained left groin. The ailment torpedoed Mason's evening Thursday when he made his first start of the season, playing just four minutes before heading to the locker room. Since joining the Magic, Mason has been […]

Anthony Davis Remains Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies. Davis has missed his previous two games while dealing with soreness, so fantasy managers should continue to plan in case he isn't able to suit up once again. If Davis remains out against Memphis, look for Kyle […]

Denver Eyes Gary Harris, P.J. Dozier Return Next Week

Denver Nuggets shooting guards/small forwards Gary Harris (adductor) and P.J. Dozier (hamstring) will miss at least the team's next two contests, head coach Michael Malone confirmed. But it's not all pessimism, as Malone noted that the team expects to have the duo back during its upcoming road trip, which kicks off Tuesday in Boston. How […]

LeBron James Probable Once Again

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) should be good to go on Friday against the Grizzlies. The former MVP has been dealing with the ailment for quite some time but has still been able to play, so his status against Memphis shouldn't surprise anyone. Although he should remain starting in seasonal fantasy formats, he […]

Tyler Herro Clears Protocols, Will Suit Up Saturday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro was involved in a uniquely 2020-21 scenario Thursday, where he was scratched from the outing against Houston just minutes ahead of tip-off. Having gone through the league's health and safety protocols, Herro has been deemed active to return for Saturday's game against the Jazz. Herro has taken on the […]

John Wall Probable Against The Knicks

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (ankle) will likely play on Saturday against the New York Knicks. The veteran played through the injury on Thursday night against the Miami Heat, finishing with 17 points, seven assists, and six boards. With Victor Oladipo (foot) and Christian Wood (ankle) both out, Wall should be considered a must-start across […]

Kevin Durant Will Return For Saturday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant has reportedly cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is on track to play in Saturday's game versus Golden State. Durant has missed each of the Nets' three previous outings after being deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him into quarantine. In […]

Oliver Ekman-Larsson Returns To Action On Friday

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) will be back in the lineup for Friday's clash with St. Louis.

Detroit Pistons power forward Blake Griffin has not yet played both legs of a back-to-back this season, but per head coach Dwane Casey, Griffin is on pace to do so Friday versus the Celtics.

Jaroslav Halak In Goal For Boston Friday Night

Boston Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak will earn his fifth start of the season on Friday against the Rangers, looking to extend his winning streak to four games.

Kevin Love Update Coming In Next Few Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) is still without a timetable to return. However, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff indicated that an update on the status of Love's right calf strain would come "within the next week or so." The veteran hasn't played since the end of December, and his return would likely lead to a […]

Sekou Doumbouya Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons power forward Sekou Doumbouya (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics as he works his way through the league's concussion protocol. Doumbouya departed Thursday's contest early after being hit in the head. With Mason Plumlee (elbow) also down for Detroit on Friday, Isaiah Stewart is in line to see […]

Igor Shesterkin Starts Against Bruins

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will guard the crease Friday night against the Bruins.

Shesterkin's record for the year stands at 3-3-1 and he is carrying a 2.31 goals-against average and a .916 save […]

DeAndre Jordan Out Against Golden State

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (personal) will not play on Saturday night against the Warriors. While it is unknown exactly why the veteran isn't able to suit up, head coach Steve Nash indicated that he would continue to be tested for COVID-19 during his time away from the team.

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Dario Saric (ankle) and point guard Cameron Payne (foot) have picked up questionable designations for Saturday's contest versus Philadelphia. Saric has indicated that he plans to return for the game, which will mark his first in-game action since Jan. 11. How many minutes that he will be able to log is […]

Derrick White Will Reclaim Starting Gig Friday

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White returns to the lineup Friday against Atlanta and will get his spot in the starting five back. White was absent from Tuesday's contest due to rest purposes, as he has not yet been cleared for both ends of back-to-backs. Despite his role in the starting unit, White is […]

Eric Gordon Returns To Starting Lineup Saturday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Eric Gordon has already been announced as a starter for Saturday's game versus the Knicks with Victor Oladipo (foot) unavailable. Irrespective of his role, Gordon has been firing at will from long range as of late, hoisting double-digit three-point attempts in each of his last two games. Since a two-game absence […]

Devonte' Graham Cleared To Suit Up For Friday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham (groin) has been given the green light to return to action for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves. Graham had missed the team's previous three outings due to a strained left groin, although it's unclear how many minutes he'll be able to handle in his first action in a week. […]

Garrison Mathews Draws First Career Start Friday

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Garrison Mathews is among the starting five for the first time in his career Friday against the Knicks. The absence of Bradley Beal (rest) means that Mathews will see sizable DFS upside, especially considering his bare minimum price tag. During a seven-game stretch during January when D.C. was heavily short-handed, […]

P.J. Washington, Martin Brothers Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center P.J. Washington and small forwards Caleb Martin and Cody Martin have all been deemed unavailable for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves due to the league's health and safety protocols.

Wendell Carter Jr. Remains Out For Friday’s Game

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Clippers as the team continues to play it safe with his quad injury. Carter hasn't suited up since Jan. 18, although the team had initially tagged him as doubtful for Friday, which indicates an increase in improvement, albeit a […]

Marvin Bagley III Picks Up Questionable Tag For Friday

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Marvin Bagley III (calf) has been listed as questionable to play in Friday's contest versus the Magic due a sore left calf. Being a late addition to the injury report could spell trouble for Bagley, with Harrison Barnes and Glenn Robinson III likely to benefit if Bagley is unavailable. Despite his […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Friday the 12th doesn’t have quite the same ring -- or foreboding ominousness --  as Friday the 13th, so hopefully the calendar quirk will be kind to those fantasy managers who had to sit through the Tyler Herro debacle Thursday. An 11-game slate is on tap, delivering a schedule chock full of fresh matchups, many […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/12/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

D'Angelo Russell Remains Out For Sunday's Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It has been a frustrating year for Russell as he continues to battle through injuries. This leg soreness issue has now sidelined him for at least three games and possibly more. Ricky Rubio and Jaylen Nowell will be […]

Kemba Walker Resting Versus Pistons

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The organization continues to rest the veteran guard during back-to-back sets. It certainly sounds like the Celtics plan on doing that throughout the rest of the regular season. Payton Pritchard dropped 20 points including six buckets from beyond […]

Robert Williams Remains Sidelined Against Pistons

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Brad Stevens mentioned that the injury is day-to-day and the organization is just being cautious with Williams. Daniel Theis has been putting up mid-round value with his increased playing time. He has become a must-have […]

Mason Plumlee Won't Suit Up Versus Celtics

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He is dealing with a bursitis in his elbow, so Plumlee could be sidelined for multiple games while he waits for it to clear up. Isaiah Stewart dropped 17 points, seven rebounds, and one assist during 31 minutes […]

Evan Fournier, Cole Anthony Questionable On Friday

Orlando Magic guards Evan Fournier (back) and Cole Anthony (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This isn't shocking news since both players were banged up heading into the first game of this back-to-back set. Orlando is already without Frank Mason III (groin), so they could really be shorthanded for […]

Michael Carter-Williams Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is great timing with both Cole Anthony (shoulder) and Evan Fournier (back) questionable for this contest.
