Alex Caruso Being Evaluated For A Concussion

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) didn't return to Sunday's playoff loss to Milwaukee after being struck in the face during the second quarter. Although the Bulls haven't released any further details, he underwent an evaluation for a concussion. With the Bucks taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, losing Caruso wouldn't be ideal […]

Alex Caruso Ruled Out For The Remainder Of Game 4

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (face) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was hit in the face in the second quarter of the game. Rookie guard Ayo Dosunmu wound up starting the second half for the team and he should see a lot of usage […]

Lou Williams Remains Out On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 4 of the playoff series versus Miami. No surprise here, as the 35-year-old hasn't played a game yet this postseason. However, Williams wouldn't have contributed much of anything even if he was available, so it will be business as usual for DFS managers regarding lineup […]

Matisse Thybulle Out For Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle won't play in Saturday's postseason bout versus the Toronto Raptors. The 25-year-old hasn't received a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, so he's not permitted to enter Canada. As a result, Danny Green, who played 46 minutes and finished with nine points, seven boards, and two steals during the Sixers' […]

Charlotte Fires Head Coach James Borrego

The Charlotte Hornets have chosen to move on from head coach James Borrego, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Borrego led Charlotte to the Play-In Tournament this season, after the team finished 43-39 and featured one of the most exciting young nucleuses in the NBA. Borrego went 138-163 in his four years at the helm […]

Desmond Bane Drills Seven Threes, Logs Game-High 26 Points

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Desmond Bane ripped off seven made triples in Thursday's Game 3 victory over Minnesota, en route to finishing with a game-best 26-point effort. After having combined to take 12 threes over the first two games, Bane came out firing with Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks scuffling from the field. On just […]

Khris Middleton Out Indefinitely

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out indefinitely. The veteran sustained a sprained left MCL during the Game 2 postseason loss to Chicago and is anticipated to miss at least Games 3 and 4. However, he is considered out indefinitely, so there's a real chance he'll be sidelined even longer. Nonetheless, Giannis Antetokounmpo and […]

Devin Booker Could Be Out For Up To Three Weeks

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) could miss up to three weeks. The superstar didn't return to Game 2 on Tuesday night after suffering a Grade 1 right hamstring strain in the third quarter. It's horrific news for the Suns, who had initially expected Booker to miss only a few games. However, Chris Paul will […]

Gary Trent Jr. Will Suit Up For Game 3, Expected To Start

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Gary Trent Jr. (illness) will join the mix for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, although how much he is able to play remains up in the air as he continues to battle an illness. Trent has started each of the first two contests, but he has combined to shoot 2-for-14 overall, […]

Brandon Ingram Posts Dominant 37-Point Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Brandon Ingram put together an enormous outing in his second career playoff game, finishing with 37 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists in Tuesday's Game 2 win. After shooting 6-for-17 in the opening contest of the series vs. Phoenix, Ingram flipped the script and went 13-for-21, while also knocking down […]

Devin Booker Exits Game 2 Due To Hamstring Ailment

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) had an early knot tied on his Game 2 performance Tuesday due to a tight right hamstring.

He finished shooting 12-for-19 overall across his 25 minutes, adding two rebounds, […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Available On Tuesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as available leading up to Tuesday's playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The veteran has been battling left ankle soreness, although he never appeared to be in any real danger of missing this one. Bogdanovic had just six points on 0-for-8 shooting in Game 1, so he […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Game 3

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) has been deemed questionable ahead of Game 3 of the playoff series versus Philly. Trent doesn't have COVID-19, although his condition relegated him to just 10 minutes of action in Game 2. If he can play, managers should acknowledge that he likely won't be fully healthy. Scottie Barnes […]

Lou Williams Out Again On Tuesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 2 of the playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The most recent update concerning his availability shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since he hasn't played since the April 5th showdown with the Toronto Raptors. Williams, who averaged only 6.3 points per game during the regular season, […]

Donovan Mitchell Totals 34 Points In Loss

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell was once again the leading scorer for his team during Monday's playoff contest against the Dallas Mavericks. He totaled 34 points, five assists and two rebounds in 41 minutes of playing time. Sadly, it wasn't enough as the Jazz dropped Game 2 to the Mavericks on Monday. This series, Mitchell […]

Jordan Poole Drops 29 Points In Game 2

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole has really stepped it up this season. He scored 30 points, including five triples during Game 1 of their series against the Denver Nuggets. Poole continued his success versus Denver on Monday. He finished with 29 points, eight assists, five rebounds, and five triples in their Game 2 victory. […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Probable For Game 2

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 contest against the Miami Heat. He played through the ankle issue in Game 1, but went 0-for-8 from the floor during that contest. The hope is that he'll bounce back, assuming he does play on Tuesday. Otherwise, Kevin Huerter and De'Andre […]

Gary Trent Jr. Exits Early During Game 2

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) wasn't able to get through Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Trent was cleared to play for this game, but only lasted 10 minutes. He missed all of his shots and obviously isn't over this illness yet. Chris Boucher replaced Trent early on and Malachi Flynn […]

Gary Trent Jr. To Play In Game 2

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) will be available for Monday's Game 2 contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as doubtful coming into the contest due to a non-COVID related illness. It sounds like both Trent and Thaddeus Young (thumb) will give it a go on Monday. Trent could see an increased […]

Gary Trent Jr. Doubtful For Game 2 On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is unlikely to play during the playoff matchup against the 76ers. Trent had a rough go during Game 1, finishing with nine points on 2-for-11 shooting. He was projected to take on a more prominent role in Game 2 on Monday night after Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a […]

Landry Shamet Available For Game 1

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's first-round opener against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old had been labeled as day-to-day after suffering a left foot injury ahead of Game 1. However, while Shamet will be in uniform, it's unlikely he will serve much of a purpose for DFS managers […]

Gary Trent Jr. Misses Sunday's Practice

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) was unable to participate in Sunday's practice. The team is calling it a non-COVID related illness, but Trent is considered doubtful for Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Raptors could use Trent out there with Scottie Barnes (ankle) unlikely to suit up. Otherwise, Malachi Flynn […]

Collin Sexton To Have Testing On Left Knee Next Week

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (knee) will undergo further testing to determine where he's at in his recovery process. Sexton tore his left meniscus back in November and missed the remainder of the season. The 23-year-old reports he is feeling better each day, although he remains without a timetable for a return. Sexton, who was […]

Caris LeVert Hoping To Stay In Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert hopes to land an extension with the team. In February, the 27-year-old was acquired from Indiana and averaged 13.6 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.4 boards across 19 games for the Cavs. LeVert, who has one year remaining on his current contract, has proven to be an effective presence on the […]

Lou Williams To Miss Game 1

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) won't be available for Game 1 of the postseason matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran continues to deal with a sore back, an injury he's been dealing with for a while, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't surprise anyone. Williams averaged only 6.3 points throughout 56 games this […]

Landry Shamet Misses Practice Friday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard/small forward Landry Shamet (foot) was unable to participate in Friday's practice, with head coach Monty Williams slapping a day-to-day designation on the sharpshooter. Shamet sustained a left foot injury preparing for Game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs vs. New Orleans, with a potential absence paving the way for Aaron Holiday […]

Grayson Allen, George Hill Ready To Go For Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Grayson Allen (hip) and point guard George Hill (abdominal) have received the green light to suit up for Sunday's game vs. Chicago in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Allen missed the final three contests of the regular season due to hip soreness, while Hill has battled abdominal soreness. […]

Trent Forrest Unavailable On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Trent Forrest (foot) isn't available for Game 1 of the series matchup against Dallas. He is on the shelf because of a left foot sprain. However, with Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, and Jordan Clarkson all healthy and ready to go, Forrest wasn't pictured to have much of a role anyway.

Terance Mann Will Start Against New Orleans

Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann will start during Friday's matchup versus the Pelicans. Paul George (illness) is out with COVID-19, and Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play either, so Mann has the opportunity to exceed his DFS value. The 25-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds throughout 33 regular-season appearances in the starting lineup. While […]

Luke Kennard Out Versus Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play during Friday's play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Paul George (illness) isn't available either after testing positive for COVID-19, so L.A. will undoubtedly be lacking on the offensive end for this one. Head coach Ty Lue has remained mum regarding his starting lineup. However, it's […]
