Terry Rozier Won't Play Against Pistons

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with a left knee issue, but most likely is just a precautionary move. Devonte Graham and Dwayne Bacon should see more minutes without Rozier. He should be fine for the regular season and is worth targeting in […]

Luke Kennard, Derrick Rose Out on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guards Luke Kennard (rest) and Derrick Rose (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. This appears to be a normal rest game for them so the bench players can get some extra minutes. Both players should have late round value in fantasy leagues. However, the injury history […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Should be Fine for Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. He missed the last two preseason contests due to a lower back strain. He's battling with Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina for minutes at the guard position. This might be a tough situation for standard […]

Frank Ntilikina is Able to Practice on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) was able to get through practice on Tuesday. Ntilikina is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. He did not practice on Monday due to a sore groin, but downplayed the severity of the injury. It appears he's actually fine, but will have to […]

Darius Garland Returns on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) will suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Boston Celtics. Garland missed Saturday's preseason game due to a minor ankle injury. The Cavs will monitor him closely as they want to be cautious with their rookie. It sounds like Garland will be fine for the regular season opener. […]

De'Aaron Fox Won't Play in Wednesday's Exhibition

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) won't play in Wednesday's exhibition versus the Melbourne United. Fox said his back was a little tight, so the team will hold him out of this meaningless game. However, Fox is expected to be fine for the regular season opener. He has great upside and makes for an […]

Evan Turner Should Be Available on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Evan Turner (Achilles) is expected to play during Monday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He's been dealing with left Achilles pain that has cost him most of the preseason. Turner should see decent backup minutes at guard and forward this season off the bench. He'll be a better option in deep […]

Draymond Green, D'Angelo Russell Will Rest Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (rest) and guard D'Angelo Russell (rest) will sit out of Monday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like both players are going to play on Wednesday, but sit out here. Stephen Curry will suit up on Monday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Marquese Chriss will […]

Frank Ntilikina Doesn't Practice on Monday

New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) did not suit up for Monday's practice. Ntilikina missed 31 of the final 33 games of the regular season last year because of a groin issue. He's battling Dennis Smith Jr. and Elfrid Payton for guard minutes, so he can't afford to miss time. Most likely this […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Expected to Suit Up Monday

Utah Jazz guard Emmanuel Mudiay (thigh) will be available for Monday's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings. This will be Mudiay's preseason debut after missing some time due to a thigh issue. However, Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell will see most of the minutes at the guard positions during the regular season. Mudiay won't get […]

Darius Garland is Doubtful for Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's preseason game against the Boston Celtics. He was limited in camp earlier due to a left foot issue. Garland has some decent upside in the middle rounds of drafts, assuming he's healthy. The Cavs are rebuilding, so Garland should see plenty of action […]

Kyle Lowry is Questionable to Play Versus Bulls

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. Lowry has not played since undergoing thumb surgery in July. It's unclear whether or not Lowry will be ready for opening night. He'll be a steal in fantasy drafts, assuming he's healthy this season.

Ricky Rubio Will Rest Against Blazers

Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (rest) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll be joined alongside by teammates Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Rubio may lose some of the ball handling to Booker in the regular season, but that won't kill his fantasy value. Rubio should see […]

Eric Bledsoe Suffers Minor Rib Injury

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (rib) is in danger of missing the beginning of the regular season after suffering a rib injury. Bledsoe fractured the cartilage between two of his ribs and was given a two or three week timetable. However, the team announced it's more of a pain tolerance issue than anything else. Bledsoe […]

Cory Joseph is Likely Out for the Preseason

Sacramento Kings guard Cory Joseph (calf) is likely going to miss the rest of the preseason, according to head coach Luke Walton. The Kings have just two games left, so it's not a huge deal to give Joseph a few days off. Joseph is battling and likely beating Yogi Ferrell for backup minutes at the […]

Tyler Johnson is Questionable for Preseason Contest

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (head) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Johnson is dealing with a migraine and has little incentive to play in this one. He should be fine for the regular season opener, but it's unclear how much he'll play on the young Suns roster.

Kyrie Irving Exits Preseason Play Due To Injury

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving played just one minute during preseason play in China against Los Angeles after he was forced to leave early as a result of an inadvertent shot to the face from Lakers guard Rajon Rondo. Irving suffered a facial fracture during an offseason pickup game and was observed sporting a mask […]

Tomas Satoransky Jumps Into Starting Five

Chicago Bulls point guard Tomas Satoransky will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kris Dunn was given the start during the first preseason game, but the Bulls are likely going to switch it up in camp. Dunn appears to have the edge over Satoransky, but both players […]

Shaquille Harrison Does Not Practice Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison (knee) did not suit up for Tuesday's practice. Harrison has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bulls have plenty of depth in the backcourt, so it'll be tough for Harrison to carve out a role. He has some upside, assuming he gets regular […]

Victor Oladipo Did Some Running on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) was seen doing some running during Tuesday's scrimmage. It appears that Oladipo is making solid progress, so fantasy owners can be hopeful for a return. However, the Pacers have not given a timetable for Oladipo's return yet. He's not expected to be ready until around January or February. He'll […]

Marc Gasol, Kyle Lowry Won't Play on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) and point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb, rest) won't play in Tuesday's preseason contest. Gasol has only participated in roughly half of camp thus far. Lowry has a minor thumb issue, so both these moves are basically just the Raptors resting their veterans. It wouldn't be surprising to see Gasol […]

Kris Dunn Gets the Start on Monday

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Dunn has reportedly been great during camp, so the Bulls are expected to give him another chance. Head coach Jim Boylen will likely switch up the lineups during the preseason, but Dunn is expected to […]

J.J. Barea Will Miss First Two Preseason Games

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (Achilles) has been ruled out for the first two preseason games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Mavs are easing him back into action as he was a limited participant in camp. It's unclear if Barea will be ready for the regular season opener. The Mavs have plenty of depth with […]

Darius Garland Will Make Preseason Debut Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (foot) will make his preseason debut on Monday against San Lorenzo of Argentina. Garland was limited in camp earlier due to a foot issue, but seems better now. He's been in full-contact practice and was cleared to play in these exhibition games. There is a chance that the Cavs […]

Avery Bradley Starts Over Rajon Rondo on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley will get the nod at point guard for Saturday's preseason contest versus the Golden State Warriors. Bradley and Rajon Rondo are battling for a starting spot on the roster during camp. LeBron James, Danny Green, Anthony Davis and JaVale McGee will join Bradley in the starting lineup for this […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Unable to Practice Saturday

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) was unable to suit up for Saturday's practice. Smith is dealing with a minor back injury, but he did miss 10 of the last 14 games last season due to back soreness. The Knicks have their first preseason game of the season on Monday, so it's […]

Patty Mills Won't Play in Saturday's Preseason Contest

San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills (rest) won't play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Marco Belinelli, DeMarre Carroll and Trey Lyles will sit this one out as well. Mills played for Australia in the FIBA World Cup last month and the team will ease him back into things. It appears the […]

Avery Bradley Working Out With the Starters

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has been working out with the starters during practice. Bradley normally plays shooting guard, but may shift to point guard this season. Bradley is a great defensive guard, so that alone may give him the edge in the competition. He's competing with veteran guard Rajon Rondo for the starting […]

Aaron Holiday Likely to Win Backup Guard Job

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday has a good shot at serving as the backup point guard for this upcoming season. Darren Collison (retirement) and Cory Joseph (free agency) are both gone, so that opens up playing time for Holiday. Victor Oladipo (knee) is out as well, so the Pacers are going to be looking for […]

Markelle Fultz Will Play in Preseason Opener

Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz is going to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He is reportedly healthy now and doing impressive stuff during camp. Fantasy owners should be watching Fultz closely during the preseason. He could quickly skyrocket his fantasy value, assuming he's […]
