Darius Garland is Expected to Sit This Weekend

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (groin) was unable to practice on Friday and is expected to miss both games this weekend. He has missed each of the last two games due to a strained left groin. The Cavs aren't playing for anything, so it's not shocking to see the team being cautious with their talented […]

Kemba Walker Will See Increased Minutes on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) will see increased minutes, but will still be limited for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Walker returned on Tuesday from a five-game absence, but sat out the following night due to rest. The Celtics are going to ease Walker back into things, but he should see around 25-30 […]

Trae Young is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was dealing with flu-like symptoms last week, but was able to play in both games without any issues. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Young, but fantasy owners should check back closer to […]

Russell Westbrook Will Rest Versus Charlotte

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see the Rockets rest Westbrook. He is expected to rejoin the rotation for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Eric Gordon (knee) will join Westbrook […]

Stephen Curry Has 23 Points In Return To Action

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry played in an NBA game for the first time since October and was productive in his 27 minutes.

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier connected on 6-for-13 shooting from the floor en route to 19 points on Thursday. Rozier added three assists while connecting on 5-for-9 shooting from downtown, yet failed to add anything to his line in the two-point loss to the Nuggets.

Devonte' Graham Scores 24 Points In Return

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) returned from a one-game absence on Thursday to score 24 points in the two-point loss to the Nuggets.

Fred Vanvleet, Marc Gasol Both Out Again Thursday

The Toronto Raptors will be without Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) and Marc Gasol (hamstring) on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Both players were questionable, but later downgraded to doubtful. Vanvleet sounds closer to play than Gasol as hamstrings can be tricky to heal. Norman Powell will continue to start while Serge Ibaka (knee) will return […]

Malcolm Brogdon is Doubtful for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is getting an MRI on his sore left hip, so fantasy owners are going to have to wait until the results before getting more information. Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, and T.J. McConnell will be asked to split […]

Fred Vanvleet Could Sit Versus Warriors

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has been sidelined since last week due to a left shoulder issue. Terence Davis, Norman Powell, and possibly Chris Boucher will benefit if Vanvleet is unable to play. Powell is the best fantasy option out of […]

Ish Smith is Ruled Out for Friday

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Smith will sit out due to a hamstring issue. Shabazz Napier and Jerome Robinson should see more minutes without Smith available. Both Napier and Robinson are worth looking at […]

Luka Doncic Misses Thursday's Practice

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness, thumb) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He has been dealing with a sprained thumb, but Doncic has been playing through the issue. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after shootaround on Friday for more information. He'll get some time to rest up […]

Stephen Curry Will Return on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's finally back, but Curry is going to be limited to 24-28 minutes on Thursday. Mychal Mulder and Jordan Poole will lose playing time and usage with Curry back in the mix. Draymond Green (knee) […]

Luka Doncic Plays Through Thumb Injury On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic played through a thumb injury that has bothered him since last week, yet he still managed to provide a huge triple-double in the four-point win over the Pelicans.

Lonzo Ball With The Monster Line In Loss

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball provided a huge line on Wednesday and it included seven triples in the loss to Dallas.

Brandon Knight Continues Good Run

Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Knight logged his first start of the season on Wednesday, finishing a 114-107 loss to the Thunder with 18 points, seven assists and two steals in 38 minutes. He shot a very good 4-for-9 from downtown, although his overall efficiency was a poor 6-for-15. Knight was questionable for the game, […]

Dennis Schroder Gets Close To First Double-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder was flirting with his first double-double of the season on Wednesday, finishing a 114-107 win at Detroit with 23 points and nine assists. He had a very good shooting night with a 7-for-14 record from the field and a 7-for-7 success rate at the line. Schroder had a […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores Team-High 27 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-high 27 points in Wednesday's win over Detroit, shooting 12-for-15 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown.

Damian Lillard Has A Successful Return To The Court

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard made his first appearance on a basketball court in three weeks and had a productive outing in a 125-104 win over the Washington Wizards. After missing six games with a groin injury, Lillard played 32 minutes on Wednesday and recorded 22 points, five assists, four rebounds, two steals, and […]

Chris Chiozza Scores Season-High 14 Points

Brooklyn Nets guard Chris Chiozza finished with a season-high 14 points in the 118-79 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Collin Sexton Scores Career-High 41 Points

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton had perhaps the best game of his young career in a 112-106 loss to the Boston Celtics. Sexton shot 17-for-30 en route to dropping a career-high 41 points along with six assists, three rebounds, three triples, and a steal in a season-high 45 minutes.

Tyus Jones Hits Season-High Five Three-Pointers

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones finished with 18 points, five rebounds, and six assists in 21 minutes during the 118-79 win over the Nets on Wednesday. He also went 5-for-6 from downtown, a season-high. The fifth-year player is not a major factor in Memphis, averaging 18.9 minutes and 7.2 points on the year. In the […]

Brandon Knight Starting Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) will start against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Knight tweaked his quad on Sunday and was questionable to play, but ultimately felt good enough with a couple day's rest. With Derrick Rose (ankle), Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) and Luke Kennard (knee) all out, Knight will be a popular […]

Damian Lillard is Expected to Return on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Gary Trent Jr. will head […]

Brandon Knight is Questionable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is doubtful to play, while Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out for Wednesday. The Pistons may take the cautious approach and rest Knight here. Langston Galloway would likely see heavy run […]

Seth Curry Could Sit Out on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls due to back tightness. However, that was the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs could have been just playing it safe. Tim Hardaway Jr. […]

Kemba Walker Will Rest on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics aren't taking any chances and will have most of their starters out for their second game of the back-to-back set.
