Jordan Clarkson Knocks Down Five Triples Off Bench

Utah Jazz shooting guard Jordan Clarkson remains instant offense off the bench, and Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers was no different. Without Joe Ingles (Achilles) available in the second unit, Clarkson took on an expanded role, dropping 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting, including tying his season-high by drilling five threes. Traditionally a score-first attacker, Clarkson […]

Derrick Rose Likely To Return For Wednesday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been tagged as probable to return to action for Wednesday's contest against Milwaukee after a one-game absence due to a sore left knee. Rose scuffled mightily in his most recent time out, scoring a season-low four points on 1-for-7 shooting. Even with Killian Hayes (hip) sidelined, Detroit […]

Jazz-Wizards Game Set For Wednesday Postponed

The Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards have had their game that was scheduled for Wednesday called off due to COVID-19 contact tracing that needs to be continued for the Wizards' roster. Earlier on Tuesday, Rui Hachimura and Moritz Wagner popped up on the injury report as questionable to play due to the league's health and […]

Eric Gordon Gets Thumbs Up To Play Tuesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (leg) has been deemed available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers after dealing with left leg tightness. Gordon has seen his production slide over the past two games, combining for just nine points in that stretch. His presence among the second unit caps the fantasy intrigue of Sterling […]

Bruce Brown Returns To Starting Five, Caris LeVert Keys Bench

The Brooklyn Nets have tabbed shooting guard Bruce Brown to serve as the team's de facto starting point guard for Tuesday's contest versus Denver. The move allows Caris Levert to slide back into his traditional bench role, where he'll lead the second unit. With Kyrie Irving (personal) sidelined indefinitely, the Nets appear to be attempting […]

Josh Okogie Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) has popped up on Wednesday's injury report as he continues to battle a hamstring ailment that forced him to miss six games. Okogie sounds as if he's closer to playing than sitting, but his minutes cap likely knocks him from fantasy consideration in most formats. Known for […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Contest

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris (personal) will miss Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn due to personal reasons. Harris' absence will mark his first of the season, paving the way for P.J. Dozier and Facundo Campazzo to see increased roles. After a slow start to the year from behind the three-point arc, Harris has gotten into […]

Magic-Celtics Contest Set For Wednesday Postponed

The Boston Celtics have had a third consecutive contest postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, with Wednesday's game versus Orlando called off more than 24 hours in advance. Boston continues to undergo extensive contact tracing stemming from Jayson Tatum's positive test, with many players' individual statuses uncertain at this time. The NBA announced Tuesday updated and […]

Victor Oladipo Could Rest On Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (rest) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's fair to assume that the Pacers play it safe here and rest Oladipo. He has not played in back-to-back sets since suffering his injury in 2019. On Monday, Oladipo played 37 minutes, so it wouldn't be surprising to […]

C.J. McCollum Hits Game-Winner To Cap Off 30-Point Night

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum was the hero of the night on Monday, hitting the game-winning shot with 9.9 seconds to go and finishing with a game-high 30 points. His great three-point shooting continued with a 5-for-11 effort and his overall record from the field was 10-for-19 with six rebounds, five assists, one […]

Devin Booker Drops Season-High 33 Points

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker scored a season-high 33 points in Monday's loss to the Wizards. Booker shot an efficient 52.4 percent from the field and was perfect from the charity stripe on 10 attempts- he's now made 16 straight free throws in his last two games. Booker has also taken better care of the […]

Bradley Beal Flirts With Triple-Double Against Suns

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal had a monster game in a 128-107 win over the Suns. Beal scored 34 points and nearly produced his first triple-double of the year in 35 minutes. The 27-year-old started strong in December but has absolutely gone off in the New Year with averages of 38.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.8 […]

Tobias Harris, Shake Milton On Track To Return Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers small/power forward Tobias Harris and point/shooting guard Shake Milton will have their next chance to suit up on Saturday versus Memphis, providing that they, Matisse Thybulle and Vincent Poirier all continue to test negative for COVID-19. The quartet have missed Philly's last two games and are set to miss the upcoming two as well, but with […]

Wesley Matthews’ Absence Headlines LA's Injury Report Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) has been deemed out for Tuesday's game versus Houston as he battles a sore right Achilles, marking his second straight absence. Also finding their way onto the injury report are LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (adductor), although their placement seems cursory as they remain perpetually banged […]

Eric Gordon Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday’s Game

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (leg) has been deemed questionable to play in Tuesday's contest versus the Lakers due to a tight left lower leg. Gordon has seen his role decrease off the bench over the previous two games, both of which have seen him score in single digits, shooting a combined 1-for-6 […]

Cleveland Scratches Collin Sexton At Tip-Off Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) was a literal last-second scratch Monday, being announced as the starter and getting set to take the floor before the team decided not to play him versus Memphis. After a similar circumstance last week due to an ankle injury, Sexton is essentially a no-go from a DFS perspective […]

Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo Headline Heat Absences Tuesday

The Miami Heat are the latest team to deal with stringent COVID-19 testing, putting Tuesday's game versus the 76ers up in the air. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo lead a group of eight Heat players that have already been ruled out, which includes Goran Dragic, Kendrick Nunn, Avery Bradley, Maurice Harkless, KJ Okpala, and Udonis […]

Reggie Bullock Remains Out On Monday

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This is a tough blow to the Knicks who are already shorthanded. They will be forced to continue to lean on Austin Rivers, which is never a fun sentence to write. Possibly, rookie Immanuel Quickley gets more […]

Evan Fournier Continues To Sit Out

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the sixth game in a row that Fournier has missed. It's unclear when he'll get back on the court. James Ennis will continue to start, but hasn't done anything worth rostering him in fantasy leagues.

Celtics-Bulls Called Off For Tuesday Amid COVID-19 Issues

The Boston Celtics' ongoing COVID-19 concerns have dealt the team a second consecutive postponement, this time wiping their game versus the Bulls on Tuesday from the slate. Following Jayson Tatum's positive test, the team does not have the minimum number of players (eight) available as they continue to work through the contract tracing process. Sunday's […]

Pelicans-Mavericks Postponed Monday Due To COVID-19 Issues

The contest scheduled between the New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks that was set to take place Monday has been postponed due to the league's COVID-19 protocols surrounding the Mavericks and their ability to put enough players on the court. Dallas would not have been able to meet the requisite number of players, which currently […]

RJ Barrett Ties Season Low With Nine Points In Defeat

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward RJ Barrett was held to just nine points on 4-for-13 shooting during Sunday's loss to the Nuggets. Barrett tied his season low in scoring, being held to nine points for the second time in his past three games. His night wasn't a clunker though, as he was able to […]

Talen Horton-Tucker Delivers Useful Line Against Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker scored a season-high 17 points in a win over Houston on Sunday. Horton-Tucker added five rebounds, four steals, three assists, and two triples in 21 minutes off the bench. Wesley Matthews (Achilles) was out with Achilles soreness, so Horton-Tucker's two-way play was a much-needed spark off the bench for […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores Season-High 31 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander maintained his great recent scoring form on Sunday, going for a season-high 31 points in a 129-116 win over Brooklyn. He had a very efficient shooting performance with an 11-for-16 effort from the field, and he also managed to add seven assists, six rebounds, two steals, and one block […]

Zach LaVine Sinks 10 Treys En Route To 45 Points

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine had a superb performance on Sunday against the Clippers, shooting 10-for-18 from downtown and 15-for-26 overall from the field en route to a season-high 45 points.

Trey Lyles Starting Sunday With DeMar DeRozan Out

The San Antonio Spurs will start forward Trey Lyles with guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) out Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. DeRozan has traveled home to tend to his ill father and will not be available for the contest. With DeRozan out, Lyles becomes a solid punt play for DFS in the spot start against a […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Diagnosed With Avulsion Fracture In Knee

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been diagnosed with an avulsion fracture in his right knee. It has also been reported his knee has some soft tissue inflammation and a bone bruise while there is no timetable for his return. This is a huge blow for the Hawks who are in the midst of […]

Lou Williams Shows Signs Of Life

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams has had a disappointing start to the season, but he played an important part in Sunday's 130-127 win over Chicago, notching 21 points off the bench on 6-for-10 shooting. Williams, who went 8-for-9 at the line, played a major role defensively as well with four steals, one of which […]

Wesley Matthews Out Sunday With Achilles Soreness

Los Angeles Lakers guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) will not play Sunday against the Houston Rockets. Matthews had surgery on his left Achilles before, but this is only soreness in his right Achilles and there is nothing suggesting this is more than a rest day. Matthews will look to get back on the court Tuesday while […]

Josh Okogie Will Play On A Minutes Limit Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will come off the bench Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Okogie has missed the past six games with the injury and will have a strict minutes limit Sunday in his return. Okogie can be avoided for now, but he did have back-to-back 30 minute games to start the […]
