Norman Powell Cleared To Play In Wednesday’s Season Opener

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Norman Powell has been given the green light to play in Wednesday's game versus New Orleans. Powell passed his last round of COVID-19 testing prior to tip-off and is now set to lead the team's second unit in their first game of the season. Last year proved to be a breakout […]

Oklahoma City-Houston Contest Postponed Wednesday

Wednesday's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets has been called off due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests and continued contract tracing within the Rockets organization. As of Wednesday night, three players had either tested positive for the virus or had inconclusive results, while four additional players were quarantined under the league's contact […]

Ben McLemore Sitting For Season Opener

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore will not suit up for Wednesday's season opener because of COVID-19 protocols. Honestly, it's unclear who is going to be available for Houston after the James Harden strip-club drama. Eric Gordon, Danuel House Jr. and Sterling Brown should gain quite a few minutes here. Both Gordon and House should be safe options […]

Kendrick Nunn Will Suit Up For Season Opener

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn (groin, knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's season opener. He was dealing with a groin strain and a minor knee issue during the preseason. However, it appears Nunn is fine now and will suit up against the Orlando Magic. It's unclear what kind of role […]

Kevin Huerter Available Versus Bulls

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (elbow) is available for Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as probable with minor elbow soreness, but appears well enough to suit up. Huerter's path to minutes is cloudy at times, but he should get consistent minutes on Wednesday. Both Rajon Rondo (personal) and Kris Dunn (knee) […]

Paul George Scores Game-High 33 Points In Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George led all scorers with 33 points in Tuesday's season opener against the Lakers. He scored 26 second-half points to help the Clippers to a 116-109 win. George shot an outstanding 13-for-18 from the field and 5-for-8 from beyond the arc. He also had six rebounds, three assists, and one […]

Caris LeVert Has A Strong Showing in Opener

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert logged 25 minutes during the decisive win over the Golden State Warriors, finishing with 20 points. He also added nine rebounds, five assists and contributed defensively by snagging two steals and recording one block. To the benefit of his fantasy managers, LeVert got some extra run in garbage time on […]

Keldon Johnson Says He’ll Play In Wednesday’s Opener

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Keldon Johnson (foot) said Tuesday that he would be ready to take the floor for Wednesday's season opener against the Grizzlies. Johnson saw action in just 17 games last season, but averaged 9.1 points across 17.7 minutes per contest. The Spurs have distributed minutes plentifully across their backcourt over […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Headlines Cavs Bench Players Out Wednesday

The Cleveland Cavaliers' second unit will be severely short-handed during Wednesday's season opener versus Charlotte as shooting guard/small forward Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) and point guards Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) and Dante Exum (hip) will all miss the contest. Darius Garland and Collin Sexton will be the team's only active point guards, meaning that the duo […]

Ben McLemore Will Sit Out At Least Wednesday’s Contest

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Ben McLemore has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against Oklahoma City. McLemore is self-isolating under the league's COVID-19 protocols, making his return to action uncertain. His absence should give Eric Gordon an uptick in potential usage among the second unit, while Danuel House Jr. could also absorb some looks […]

Norman Powell Draws Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Norman Powell is questionable to play in Wednesday's contest versus the Pelicans because he is set to undergo further COVID-19 testing before tip-off. Fantasy managers can prepare for this to be a continuous cycle for most of the regular season, with little knowledge able to be gleaned as to Powell's status […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Starts Tuesday; Caris Levert Leads Bench Unit

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie will start at the two-guard spot for Tuesday's season opener versus Golden State with Caris Levert set to come off the bench. The move stays in line with how head coach Steve Nash had been deploying his group during the preseason, but is a pivot away from years past […]

Eric Gordon Will Come Off The Bench

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will come off the bench with the second unit to begin the season. Gordon mentioned that he is fine with it as long as there is consistency with his role on the team. Danuel House was named the starting small forward, but coming off the bench might actually help Gordon. […]

Luke Kennard Receives Massive Extension

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a four-year, $64 million extension with the organization. Kennard gets paid before making his team debut for the Clippers, but he was well-deserving of a new contract. He averaged 15.8 points last season and improved as a passer with 4.1 assists per game. It'll be interesting […]

Anfernee Simons Could Miss Some Time

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hamstring) was unable to suit up for Friday's preseason matchup. He has been dealing with a hamstring issue that doesn't seem to want to go away. There is some doubt that Simons will be healthy enough to play in the regular season opener next week. Regardless, Simons is going […]

Shop the Sales: UDFA Who Could Find Quick Success

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Interested In Extension With Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr. said that he is not interested in signing an extension with the organization. He mentioned that he would prefer to become a restricted free agent next summer. Trent is betting on himself after playing well during the bubble last season. However, he's going to be forced to battle […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Unlikely To Play Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He is currently dealing with some legal issues, but the league will not make any determinations until the legal system does. Porter is going to have to compete for playing time with a handful of […]

Shake Milton Should Have Significant Role With Sixers

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has been amazing during training camp, according to head coach Doc Rivers. Both Rivers and Daryl Morey have been hyping up the young guard. It's unclear if he'll start or come off the bench to begin the season. Regardless, it sounds like Milton is going to have a significant role […]

Victor Oladipo Uncertain For Back-To-Back Sets

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo has not been cleared for back-to-back sets yet. The organization is unsure if Oladipo will sit out back-to-back contests like he did last season. Head coach Nate Bjorkgren mentioned that Oladipo looked good during camp. However, it sounds like the team might take it slowly with Oladipo. He could miss […]

Lonnie Walker IV Limited During Tuesday's Practice

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (back) was limited to individual work during Tuesday's practice. He hasn't been able to get back into doing workouts with the team since hurting his back last Friday. He should get plenty of time to rest before opening night, but Walker probably won't have great fantasy value. His […]

Terrence Ross Has Minor Injury

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (toe) could miss the beginning of the regular season after suffering a minor injury. An MRI revealed a minor, non-displaced, hairline fracture in his left big toe. Ross continues to practice, but is being held out of all contact drills right now. His fantasy value is on the rise this […]

James Harden Not At Houston's First Practice

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was not present at the team's first practice, though head coach Stephen Silas says Harden will take place in an individual workout tonight. With trade rumors swirling around the former MVP, anything like this is going to raise some eyes, though Houston has seemed committed to beginning the season with […]

Seth Curry Will Help Run The Offense

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry is expected to help facilitate the offense, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It's unclear at the moment whether Curry will be starting or coming off the bench with the Sixers. Regardless, he should get plenty of time with the ball in his hands. He should see an expanded role […]

Tyler Herro Becoming Improved Playmaker

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro spent the entire offseason focusing on becoming a better playmaker. "I think I'm really just working on just getting my handles tighter, being able to be that primary ball-handler, if needed," said Herro. He says he'll accept any role that is asked of him, but knows he'll get quality minutes […]

LiAngelo Ball Gets Training Camp Deal From Pistons

The Detroit Pistons have agreed to a training camp deal with guard LiAngelo Ball. He'll now be the third Ball brother in the NBA, but will likely have the least impact out of all of them. This is the first time that he's landed an NBA deal, but it's not guaranteed. The Pistons roster is […]

Tyrese Haliburton Could Start At Shooting Guard

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton was taken as the No. 12 overall pick by the organization during the draft. It sounds like Haliburton is the favorite for the starting shooting guard role to start the season, according to Matt George. It was assumed that Buddy Hield would start after the departure of Bogdan Bogdanovic this […]

Keldon Johnson Won't Be Ready To Begin Camp

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (foot) is not going to be ready to open up training camp. He is dealing with a minor foot issue, so the team has decided to keep him off the floor right away. Johnson is expected to be ready by the start of the regular season. However, he won't […]
