Willie Cauley-Stein Ruled Out Next Two Games

Sacramento Kings forward/center Willie Cauley-Stein (knee) has been ruled out the next two games. He injured his knee in Thursday's contest and the MRI showed a deep bone bruise. Skal Labissiere (shoulder) is expected to see increased playing time if he's healthy enough to play. Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufos should see increased minutes and […]

Michael Carter-Williams Questionable for Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He sat out of Saturday's game versus the Miami Heat. Malik Monk took over as backup point guard but only played seven minutes. Kemba Walker played 41 minutes and will likely do it again if MCW is unable […]

Jerryd Bayless Is Targeting a Return on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) is not expected to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. He is reportedly targeting a return on Monday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. This wrist injury continues to linger, so the Sixers are going to be careful with Bayless. Timothe Luwawu and T.J. McConnell will continue to benefit […]

Danilo Gallinari Won't Play Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (gluteus) won't play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. There was a chance Gallinari returned for this contest, but the Clippers do not want to rush him back to action. At this rate, it's possible Gallo is sidelined a few more games. Tyrone Wallace and Wesley Johnson will […]

Manu Ginobili Questionable on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (thigh) is questionable to play against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. He's missed six straight games, but the questionable tag is actually an upgrade for Ginobili at this point. His return would take minutes away from Bryn Forbes and Danny Green. He could even hurt the value of Davis […]

Dwyane Wade Questionable on Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade (personal) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. He missed Friday's game with an excused personal absence. The Cavs told Wade he can take as much time off as he needs. J.R. Smith scored 23 points with seven triples and four steals in 37 minutes on Friday. […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This will be Brogdon's second game in a row on the sidelines. He was spotted jumping rope during pre-game workouts, so there is a chance he returns on Monday against the 76ers. Tony Snell will earn the start […]

Tyson Chandler Will Start Sunday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (illness) will draw the start against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. He was questionable going into the contest but will be able to suit up. This likely means Greg Monroe heads to the bench on Sunday. Alex Len (ankle) has been ruled out, so Monroe could be looking at 20 […]

Alex Len Ruled Out Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Alex Len (ankle) has been ruled out against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. He was unable to practice on Saturday, so it's not surprising to see him sitting this one out. Len should be considered questionable for Monday's game against Memphis as well. Greg Monroe should see at least 20 minutes and […]

Dante Cunningham Will Start Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Dante Cunningham will draw the start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Cunningham will jump into the starting five for DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles). Darius Miller and possibly Cheick Diallo will see increased playing time without Cousins. Cunningham will see increased minutes, but he's still not worth owning in standard leagues […]

Kevin Durant is Probable on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (foot) is probable to play against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. The foot soreness did not limit him too much when he dropped a triple-double on Thursday. The Warriors are likely just being cautious, but it's doubtful Durant sits out on Saturday. Owners should not worry too much about […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (rest) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. The Nets are not allowing Russell to play in back-to-back sets yet. He continues to look rusty and had seven turnovers in 21 minutes on Friday. Caris LeVert will benefit the most from the absence of Russell. Joe Harris, Allen […]

Jimmy Butler is Questionable on Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Butler is "close," but the final decision will be made after pre-game warmups. Butler has missed the last four games but appears to be on track to return on Saturday. DFS main-slate rosters will […]

Tomas Satoransky Will Start on Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Tomas Satoransky will draw the start at point guard against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. John Wall (knee) will be on the sidelines, which means Satoransky gets his first start of the season. He's come off the bench in each of his last 39 games. He's played 25 minutes twice this season […]

Tyler Johnson is Expected to Play Saturday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) is expected to rejoin the lineup against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said "it's going in the right direction for [Johnson] to play" Saturday versus Charlotte. Johnson has missed five straight games but was listed as probable for Thursday's contest. Derrick Jones and Justise Winslow […]

Michael Carter-Williams Questionable Against Heat

Charlotte Hornets point guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Miami Heat on Saturday. MCW hasn't been too productive this season, but he has been durable. He's played in 33 straight games with the Hornets. He's been a reliable backup guard behind Kemba Walker. Julyan Stone and Malik Monk will see extended […]

Myles Turner is Questionable on Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) is questionable to play against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Turner has missed the Pacers last nine games but is close to returning. He was able to practice fully on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Domantas Sabonis has been starting for Turner but will lose some value once he […]

Reggie Bullock is Probable on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) is probable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. He was listed as questionable on Friday but has been upgraded to probable. He's on track to return to the lineup on Saturday. Bullock's return will move Stanley Johnson back to the bench. Johnson had seven points and […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Ruled Out Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. RHJ suffered the injury in Friday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. It's the second of a back-to-back set, so the Nets have decided to play it safe. Hopefully RHJ is able to get back on the court Tuesday […]

Marcus Smart Out Two Weeks

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) has been ruled out for at least the next two weeks. He suffered a hand laceration when he cut himself on glass at the team hotel. He did not play on Wednesday and was listed as day-to-day. That is not the case and Smart will be sidelined for at […]

Marquese Chriss is Probable on Friday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip, eye) is probable to play in Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Chriss practiced fully on Thursday and is expected to return from his six-game absence on Friday. It's unclear how Dragan Bender's role will change with Chriss back in the mix. Head coach Jay Triano did hint […]

Alex Len is Questionable Against Knicks

Phoenix Suns forward/center Alex Len (ankle) is questionable to play against the New York Knicks on Friday. Len did not practice on Thursday and is dealing with soreness in his right ankle. Len has dealt with ankle injuries throughout his career, so it would not be surprising if the Suns are cautious with him. Greg […]

Tyreke Evans is Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is questionable to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) and Ben McLemore (knee) are also listed as questionable for this contest. The injuries continue to pile up for the Grizzlies, but owners will likely need to wait until closer to tip-off before final […]

Evan Turner Ruled Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner (personal) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be just the second game Turner has missed all season. It's unclear the reasoning for his absence, but hopefully it's just one game. Maurice Harkless is expected to rejoin the rotation without Turner playing on […]

Jerryd Bayless Questionable for Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) is questionable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. He's been unable to play the last three contests due to a sore left wrist. Timothe Luwawu and Justin Anderson played significant minutes on Wednesday. T.J. McConnell (personal) is expected to return on Friday after a one-game absence. If […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play for Friday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks decided to sit him each of the last two games in order to manage his soreness in his right knee. The plan all along was for Antetokounmpo to return on Friday. It appears he has […]

Dwyane Wade Questionable on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade (personal) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Wade was absent for shootaround and his status for Friday's game is up in the air. Wade did not participate in shootaround due to an undisclosed personal matter. Owners will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off before […]

Myles Turner Won't Play on Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) will not play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Turner has not played since Jan. 8 but has been making progress in his rehab. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. However, he has not been cleared to play in Friday's contest. His […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Expected to Play Thursday

New York Knicks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is expected to return to the lineup against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. He did not play Tuesday versus Golden State after tweaking his knee on Monday. This could be a game-time decision call, so owners should check back for more information later. If Porzingis does not play, […]

Patrick Patterson is Questionable on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Patrick Patterson (wrist) is questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Thursday. He picked up the injury when he fell on Tuesday. The MRI came back clean and Patterson practiced on Wednesday. He went through shootaround but still has some soreness. This is likely headed towards a game-time decision call. […]
