Joe Ingles Clears COVID-19 Protocols, Still Out Monday

Utah Jazz shooting guard/small forward Joe Ingles has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols, but he will remain sidelined for Monday's game vs. Detroit as he ramps back into game shape. Ingles' absence has climbed to four games, with the Jazz having ferried numerous names into their second unit over that span. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Joins League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been added to the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Monday's game vs. Milwaukee. The absence will mark the first of the season for Oubre, who has enjoyed an excellent offensive year in Charlotte by averaging 16.6 points per game. The […]

Will Barton Enters League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Will Barton has landed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely. Barton has enjoyed another solid season among Denver's starting five, as he is on pace to set new career bests with 4.2 assists and 2.3 made triples per outing. Without him in the mix, the backcourt […]

Desmond Bane Uncertain Against Lakers

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was also considered questionable on Saturday and managed to play 30 minutes. It sounds like Bane is able to play through the quad issue, but the organization might not push it. His absence would mean more […]

Gary Trent Jr. Won't Play Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is a late scratch as Trent appears to be dealing with some ankle soreness. The Raptors will move Khem Birch into the starting five for this game. Although, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher will see […]

Cody Martin (SG/SF, CHA): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: While his brother Caleb is busy having himself a career-year for the Miami Heat, Cody Martin is having himself a career-year for the Hornets in what must be the first time in a while that the two have played for separate teams. […]

Aaron Wiggins (SG/SF, OKC): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Oklahoma City Thunder have been forced into plenty of less-than ideal situations in 2021-22, and while this has mostly resulted in devastating defeats, it has allowed opportunity for players like Aaron Wiggins to make their name on the NBA scene a […]

Chris Duarte, Jeremy Lamb Will Play In Monday’s Game

Indiana Pacers shooting guards Chris Duarte and Jeremy Lamb have been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Monday's contest vs. the Jazz. Both players had previously cleared the league's health and safety protocols but were ramping up for a return. The duo is set to headline Indiana's second unit, as the trio […]

Evan Fournier, Nerlens Noel Will Miss Saturday’s Game

New York Knicks shooting guard Evan Fournier (thigh) and center Nerlens Noel (conditioning) have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Celtics. Fournier's absence is particularly troublesome for New York after the 29-year-old scorched Boston for a season-high 41 points Thursday; in three matchups vs. the Celtics this season, Fournier has averaged 35 PPG. […]

Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic Will Return Saturday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (back) and small forward Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) have been cleared to get back into action for Saturday's game vs. the Pacers. Mitchell and Bogdanovic were a part of the wholesale absences that forced the Jazz roster to take on a different look Friday; their return zaps Elijah Hughes, Jared […]

Klay Thompson Will Make Season Debut Sunday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) has been cleared to take the floor for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers. Thompson's much anticipated return will mark his first game action since June 13, 2019, and he has since undergone two season-ending surgeries. While Thompson has been practicing with the team, fantasy managers can anticipate […]

Patty Mills Rejoins Starting Five Friday

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Patty Mills has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Friday's contest vs. Milwaukee after a one-game stint on the bench with Kyrie Irving active for the team's road outing. David Duke Jr. will be sticking in the starting group as well, although he holds minimal fantasy intrigue when the […]

Jordan Clarkson, Bojan Bogdanovic Will Miss Friday’s Game

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson (back) and small forward Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) are among a group of Jazz players ruled out for Friday's contest against Toronto. Bogdanovic is coming off having dropped a season-high 36 points during Wednesday's win over the Nuggets, while Clarkson will be missing his first contest of the year. With […]

Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley Headline Jazz’s Friday Absences

The Utah Jazz will be massively shorthanded for Friday's contest vs. the Raptors, with the starting backcourt of Donovan Mitchell (back) and Mike Conley (rest) among those unavailable. With other key contributors such as Rudy Gobert (health and safety protocols), Bojan Bogdanovic (finger), Jordan Clarkson (back) and Royce O'Neale (knee) also sidelined, any healthy member […]

Pat Connaughton Out Due To COVID-19 Protocols

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton landed in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, making him unavailable for the foreseeable future. He is joined by George Hill, Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen, and with Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) unavailable for at least a few weeks, the team will look to Javonte Smart, Wesley Matthews and Rodney Hood to […]

Donte DiVincenzo Out For A Few Weeks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) will miss a few weeks. He re-injured his surgically repaired left ankle around a week ago, which is unfortunate considering he recently returned on Christmas after spending the entire year on the shelf. With Jrue Holiday, Pat Connaughton, and Grayson Allen out for the foreseeable future because of COVID-19 […]

Grayson Allen Not Available Against Brooklyn

Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen remains in COVID-19 health and safety protocols and won't suit up against Brooklyn on Friday. The 26-year-old will now miss his second straight contest, and with Jrue Holiday, Pat Connaughton, and George Hill out for the same reason, the team will look to Javonte Smart, Wesley Matthews, and Rodney Hood […]

Jrue Holiday Enters COVID-19 Protocols, Out Versus Brooklyn

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Thursday and isn't available for Friday's pivotal game against the Nets. This will be the veteran's first absence in what could be many, and he will be joined by Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton, and George Hill. As a result, the Bucks will be […]

Lonnie Walker IV Available On Friday Night

San Antonio Spurs forward Lonnie Walker IV, who recently cleared COVID-19 health and safety protocols, is listed as available against Philadelphia. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.2 points, 2.8 boards, and 2.4 assists this season and could be making his return after sitting out the Spurs' previous three contests. Nonetheless, with San Antonio short-handed on Friday […]

Duncan Robinson Upgraded To Questionable

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Robinson is currently in the league's health and safety protocols, but has a chance of clearing them on Wednesday. The Heat could certainly use his help with Jimmy Butler (ankle) ruled out. Otherwise, Tyler Herro and Max […]

Alex Caruso Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Alex Caruso has landed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely. Caruso has already been sidelined since Dec. 20 due to a foot sprain, with this latest impediment further complicating his return. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu have seen elevated roles without Caruso in the mix, and […]

Max Strus Not Listed On Injury Report

Miami Heat guard Max Strus is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols but has built up his conditioning enough to return on Wednesday. It comes at a great time with Jimmy Butler (ankle) already ruled out. That means […]

Chris Duarte Will Miss Fourth Straight Contest

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Chris Duarte has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. the Nets, marking his fourth straight absence due to the league's health and safety protocols. Duarte has cleared the protocols, but Indiana is not ready to throw him back into game action yet, even as the team deals with wholesale backcourt […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb Clear Protocols, Remain Out

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon and shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb have tested out of the league's health and safety protocols but will stay sidelined for at least Tuesday's contest. Brogdon will remain out Wednesday, while Lamb is "unlikely" to play. Indiana is set to be extremely short-handed in the backcourt for those outings with […]

Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle Enter COVID-19 Protocols

Philadelphia 76ers guards Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle have entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, both players will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Sixers could be without both guards for the next five days. In the meantime, Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz will be asked to step […]

Eric Gordon Available Against Sixers

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (hamstring) will be available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is back in the rotation after taking a rest day to help heal his lingering hamstring issue. The Rockets could certainly use Gordon's help with Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood suspended for this game. That being said, […]

Donte DiVincenzo Ruled Out Against Pistons

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is not great news with DiVincenzo missing Saturday's game and now ruled out a full day in advance. The injury is being called a left ankle sprain, which is the same ankle that was operated on last […]

Luguentz Dort Sits Out Sunday's Action

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (knee) will miss Sunday's clash with Dallas. The Thunder are pretty much down to bare bones now and we should see some unexpected heroes. Theo Maledon and Ty Jerome are in a good position to make a bigger impact than normal. Jerome is definitely the more attractive fantasy piece […]

Terrence Ross, Mo Bamba Ready To Play Again

Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross and center Mo Bamba will return to action on Sunday against Boston. Both cleared health and safety protocols recently, and Bamba goes straight back into the starting five. Ross will lead the second unit. Robert Williams III (toe) is missing for Boston, so Bamba has a good chance to make […]

Caris LeVert Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert has entered health and safety protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup with Cleveland, and he won't be available for the game. With Malcolm Brogdon and Chris Duarte still in the protocols, Indiana's backcourt situation will get rather interesting. Duane Washington Jr. has already made his way into the starting unit […]
