Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is expected to play in Thursday's Game 1 matchup versus the Denver Nuggets, according to head coach Doc Rivers.

Rajon Rondo Hopeful For Game 1

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) has looked good during recent practices and is hopeful to play in Game 1 on Friday, according to head coach Frank Vogel. He'll likely be eased back into things since he's been banged up for quite some time. His return should take away minutes from players like Alex […]

Jamal Murray Should Be Fine For Game 1

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (quad) is reportedly good to go for Thursday's Game 1 matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers, according to head coach Mike Malone. He took a knee to the quad during Tuesday's Game 7, but was able to play through the issue. He's expected to continue to play through the pain, […]

Eric Bledsoe Could Miss Game 2

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (hamstring) is listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Miami Heat. Bledsoe was limited during Tuesday's practice, but head coach Mike Budenholzer was hopeful that Bledsoe will be ready for this matchup.

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) suffered a minor tweak during Game 1, but is expected to be fine going forward. "It happens. I’m doing everything I can to stay on top of it.

Damian Lillard Injury Not Considered Serious

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) was unable to finish out the first round series versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a right knee sprain, but the Blazers medical staff does not believe it will be a long-term issue. The Blazers are now eliminated, so Lillard will get plenty of time to rest […]

Eric Bledsoe Limited During Tuesday's Practice

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (hamstring) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice. He was unable to play during Game 1 versus the Miami Heat on Monday due to a right hamstring strain. George Hill drew the start, but didn't do much damage during his 36 minutes of play.

Patrick Beverley Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the week, but a questionable tag is an upgrade at this point. If he's cleared to play, Reggie Jackson and Landry Shamet would lose playing time and value. Both […]

Kyle Lowry Will Play In Game 1

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) will be available for Sunday's Game 1 matchup against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as probable after going through a full practice on Saturday. Lowry suffered an ankle injury last week, but it sounds like he has recovered since then. Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell will see their […]

Kyle Lowry Upgraded To Probable

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable earlier today after tweaking his ankle roughly a week ago.

Luka Doncic Doing Well

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Doncic's ankle is doing better. He'll be asked to carry the load on offense with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) done for the rest of the first-round series. Fantasy owners […]

Michael Carter-Williams Listed As Out For Saturday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as out for Saturday's Game 5 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. This isn't shocking news since Carter-Williams hasn't been able to play in quite some time. The Magic are likely going to be eliminated soon, so Carter-Williams is probably done for the postseason. Markelle Fultz and D.J. Augustin […]

George Hill Probable For Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (finger) is listed as probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Orlando Magic. He has been able to play through the issue, so there's a good chance he'll be out there for this one. Hill hasn't been a great DFS target since he'll likely only see minutes in the low-20s. […]

Russell Westbrook Available For Game 5

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is available for Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. This marks the first time that Westbrook will be able to play during this series. He could be somewhat restricted since he has not played in a game in over two weeks. James Harden, Eric Gordon, and […]

Rajon Rondo Upgraded To Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's Game 5 versus the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear if he'll actually be out there, but he'd likely be restricted if he does play. Alex Caruso and the other guards would see a few less minutes if Rondo returns. DFS players […]

Kyle Lowry Might Suit Up For Game 1

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. He was able to practice on Saturday, which is the first time he was able to do that in about a week. That is a positive sign that Lowry will be able to play on Sunday, […]

Patrick Beverley Doubtful For Game 6

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Game 6 versus the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. He hasn't played in most of this series, so we'll see if he's healthy enough to get out there. Reggie Jackson and Landry Shamet will continue to see a boost until Beverley returns. Neither of […]

Damian Lillard Leaves Orlando Bubble

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) has left the bubble in Orlando and returned to Portland for further evaluation. An MRI revealed a right knee sprain and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the bubble. The Blazers are already down 3-1 to the Los Angeles Lakers, so it's unlikely that Lillard […]

Russell Westbrook Expected To Suit Up For Game 5

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to play in Saturday's Game 5 matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been given some extra time to prepare and reportedly looked explosive during Thursday's scrimmage. James Harden and Eric Gordon will lose some value and usage with Westbrook likely returning. There should be more […]

Pacers Have Fired Nate McMillan

Indiana Pacers head coach Nate McMillan has been fired by the organization on Wednesday. This comes as quite a surprise after McMillan received an extension roughly two weeks ago. He lead Indiana to a 183-136 record over the last four years. It's tough to blame him for their early playoff exit. The team was without […]

Russell Westbrook Upgraded To Questionable

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is listed as questionable for Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. He was originally listed as out, but it appears that he's making solid progress. The team is likely going to wait and see how he feels in warmups before making the final call. His return […]

Luka Doncic Might Miss Game 6

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was able to battle through the pain during Game 5, but it didn't help that Marcus Morris stepped on his ankle. Doncic managed to play 31 minutes in the blowout loss to the Clippers. Seth […]

Trey Burke Could Sit Out Game 6

Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. He has been listed as probable since Game 2, but managed to play on Tuesday. Burke dropped 15 points in 29 minutes during their last contest. He could be a fairly appealing DFS option with […]

Kyle Lowry Sits Out Of Wednesday's Practice

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) was unable to suit up for Wednesday's practice. Lowry continues to battle a left ankle sprain and is currently listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 1 matchup versus the Boston Celtics. Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell would see increased usage and value if Lowry is unable to play. Pascal […]

Damian Lillard Set To Undergo Another MRI

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) is scheduled to undergo a second MRI on Tuesday. He was forced to exit Monday's contest due to a right knee injury and the first MRI results were inconclusive. Usually, that means there was a lot of swelling, which doesn't look good for his chances of suiting up […]

Patrick Beverley Listed As Doubtful For Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks. He has not played since Game 1, so there's a decent chance that he remains sidelined here. That will mean more playing time for Reggie Jackson and Landry Shamet. Neither player is a great fantasy option, […]

Kyle Lowry Unable To Practice On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) was unable to suit up for practice on Tuesday. He is currently getting treatment for his sprained right ankle and is listed as day-to-day. The injury didn't appear to be that bad during Monday's game, but the team wants to be cautious. Toronto doesn't play again until Thursday, so […]

Russell Westbrook Not Quite Ready Yet

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) has been sidelined all series, but remains day-to-day, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. He is dealing with a strained right quad and it's unclear if he'll suit up for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. There should be more information known on Wednesday, so fantasy owners […]

Rajon Rondo Doubtful For Monday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's Game 4 against the Portland Trail Blazers. He finally worked his way back from a broken thumb, but is dealing with back spasms now. Rondo was medically cleared for Saturday's game, but ended up sitting out. The Lakers continue to use a […]
