BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Suns had quite the start to the season and during the first month-and-change they racked up some good wins.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Shaquille Harrison the ultimate Cinderella story of the season? Could be the case, if you ask me.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: What if Atlanta really hit the nail in the head with Cam Reddish?

Marc Gasol Might Play on Sunday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last 15 games due to left hamstring tightness.

Fred Vanvleet is Questionable Versus Kings

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last four games due to left shoulder soreness.

Malcolm Brogdon is Sidelined Multiple Weeks

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (quad) will be sidelined multiple weeks and could be done for the season. He underwent an MRI which revealed a torn left rectus femoris, so he'll likely be out for a significant period of time. Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, and T.J. McConnell will be asked to step up with Brogdon […]

Andre Drummond is Probable for Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Ryan Arcidiacono is Ruled Out on Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Ryan Arcidiacono (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. An Achilles issue is a fairly significant injury, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Arcidiacono miss more time. Shaquille Harrison has played well lately and deserves a look in deep leagues while the Bulls are banged up […]

Brandon Knight is Questionable on Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. The team is calling the injury a right hamstring strain, but he was able to play through Saturday's game. The team could possibly be taking the cautious approach in a back-to-back set. Bruce Brown Jr. and Sviatoslav […]
