Bruce Brown Jr. Gets the Nod in Starting Five

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. will join the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Indiana Pacers. There were rumors that Luke Kennard may jump Brown in the rotation, but that won't happen right away. Brown is starting but doesn't offer much upside in terms of fantasy production.

Jalen Brunson, Seth Curry Will Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guards Jalen Brunson (hamstring) and Seth Curry (knee) are not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Brunson was dealing with a minor hamstring tweak that kept him out of some action during the preseason. Curry had a minor knee contusion, but looks like he's 100 percent ready […]

Devin Booker Appears to Be Fine

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (finger) didn't appear to have anything on his hand during Wednesday's shootaround. Booker suffered a sprained left middle finger on Monday, but the injury sounds minor. He should be fine for the season opener and has top 15-20 fantasy upside going into the season.

Jrue Holiday Records Just 13 Points

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday logged 13 points during the overtime loss to the Raptors. Holiday led the team with 41 minutes despite coach Gentry going deep into his rotation against a Toronto team that saw only eight players see action. Though he relegated some of his production to the trio of Brandon Ingram, […]

Danny Green Makes It Rain In Southern California

Danny Green lit up the building during the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers versus Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 18 of his 28 points in the quarter. His onslaught to get the Lakers back in the game helped him to register the highest scoring output of anyone on the team at 28 points and […]

Lou Williams Shows His Value On Opening Night

Lou Williams registered 21 points, five rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer on an impressive eight of 14 shooting from the field. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year and back-to-back winner of the award showed consistently throughout the game why he is one of the best pure scorers in the league and […]

Klay Thompson Unlikely to Play This Season

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is unlikely to play this season, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Thompson tore his ACL during the playoffs in June, but underwent surgery to repair it in July. The recovery process normally takes one year, so the Warriors aren't going to rush it. Fantasy owners with an […]

Jaylen Brown Gets Huge Extension on Monday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown agreed to terms on a huge extension with the organization on Monday. Brown agrees to a four-year $115 million extension with the team.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (finger) is dealing with a minor finger injury, but was seen shooting fine after Monday's practice.

Kevin Huerter Practices on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) was able to fully practice on Sunday. Huerter missed all of the preseason due to right knee pain. However, he could suit up for Thursday's opener if he continues to make progress. The Hawks are going to remain cautious, so we'll wait and see how Huerter progresses throughout the […]

Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard to Rest Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (rest) and center Dwight Howard (rest) are sitting out of Friday's preseason game against the Golden State Warriors. Both players had strong preseasons, but head coach Frank Vogel will let the young guys play in this one. Howard is worth grabbing in the last few rounds of standard drafts, […]

Victor Oladipo is Progressing Well

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is expected to play some 5-on-5 in the next couple of days. Oladipo is progressing faster than he was expected and could beat his December timetable. He is worth grabbing in the 75-100 range in most drafts, assuming there is an IR spot available. The Pacers are going to […]

Jalen Brunson Might Not Play Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He wasn't able to play in Monday's contest, so the Mavs might be just playing it safe here. There is a good chance that he doesn't play on Thursday, but should be fine for the regular […]

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 […]

Nikola Vucevic, Terrence Ross Scrimmage on Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) and guard Terrence Ross (ankle) were able to go through a team scrimmage on Tuesday. Both players missed Sunday's preseason contest due to minor ankle injuries. The fact they were able to get through the scrimmage means they should be fine in a few days. Vucevic and Ross should […]

Evan Fournier Played in Tuesday's Scrimmage

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) was able to participate in some of Tuesday's scrimmage. Fournier admitted that he was very sore after going through the scrimmage on Tuesday. There is a good chance that the Magic have Fournier sit out for the rest of the preseason. He'll have late round value in most standard […]

Kevin Huerter Ruled Out for Wednesday's Preseason Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the New York Knicks. Huerter has been dealing with knee soreness throughout the preseason. However, he expects to be ready to play for the regular season opener. He's not an attractive option in most standard leagues, but Huerter has value […]

Devin Booker Will Play in Preseason Contest Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets. Booker sat out the last two preseason games due to rest, but he'll get in some minutes here. It's unclear how much Booker is going to play in this one. He'll have great upside in fantasy leagues, but may […]

Grayson Allen Will Start in Monday's Contest

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Dillon Brooks normally starts, but head coach Taylor Jenkins is making a switch here. Allen has played well as the sixth man in the preseason, but we'll see how he plays in the starting five. Fantasy […]

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.

Kevon Looney, Alec Burks Remain Out on Monday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) and guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) will both sit out of Monday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Both players still aren't practicing, which is a bit concerning with the regular season fast approaching. Looney has some upside in fantasy leagues, so he's worth looking at, but Burks […]

Landry Shamet Exits Early on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Landry Shamet (wrist) exited early during Sunday's preseason contest. Head coach Doc Rivers downplayed the injury after the game. Rivers said that if it was the playoffs then Shamet would be out there, but there is no reason to push it in the preseason. Shamet should be fine, and is someone […]

Rodney Hood Will Sit Out Against Suns

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with back spasms, so the team is likely just being cautious here. Hood will battle Kent Bazemore for playing time in Portland. He'll be worth a look in deeper leagues, but that's about […]

Alec Burks is Making Progress

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) is making solid progress, but still remains out of practice. He sprained his right ankle about a week ago and still has yet to practice. Burks needs to play during camp to earn his spot in the rotation. The Warriors need depth guys like Burks, but it's hard […]

Jrue Holiday is Removed from Injury List

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (quad) has been removed from the injury report for Monday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Holiday did not play in Friday's contest due to a left quad contusion. Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker saw more minutes without Holiday on the court. It appears Holiday is fine, so […]

Kevin Huerter Gets Through Practice on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) was able to get through practice on Friday without any issues. He hasn't played in the preseason yet because of knee pain. There is a chance he gets out there for a game against the Heat on Monday. Huerter has some late round appeal in most formats, assuming he's […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out for Preseason Game on Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Batum exited early on Wednesday because of right Achilles soreness. There is no reason to believe that this is going to be a lingering injury for Batum. However, he's a veteran player on a rebuilding Hornets team. […]

Alec Burks Continues to Be Sidelined

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered right ankle sprain on Friday and hasn't suited up since then. The Warriors have little depth at the wing position, so Burks does have a path to minutes. However, health is always a concern […]

Kevin Huerter Unlikely to Play in Preseason

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Huerter has been dealing with a knee issue and is expected to miss most of the preseason. Deandre Bembry gets a chance for more minutes without Huerter on the court. Fantasy owners can go ahead and grab […]

Malik Monk Gets Into The Action on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (toe) will play during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Miami Heat. Monk missed the summer league, but is ready to show that he improved since last season.
