Samaje Perine Has Some PPR Value

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine saw work as both a receiver and rusher last week. He finished with 33 rushing yards on seven carries, while hauling in five receptions for 31 yards through the air. However, Joe Mixon remains the lead back and should see roughly 20 carries this weekend against the Kansas City […]

Tevin Coleman Elevated From Practice Squad On Saturday

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This move adds insurance to the backfield in case Elijah Mitchell (groin) is unable to play this weekend. Mitchell missed three days of practice this week. His absence would likely mean that Coleman […]

Desmond Bane Unavailable On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 24-year-old will sit this game out due to right knee soreness. John Konchar (concussion) will join him on the sideline, which leaves the Grizzlies shorthanded. Ziaire Williams could move into the starting five with Bane and Konchar […]

Tyrese Haliburton Not Cleared To Play Yet

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) is set to miss at least one more game after being evaluated on Thursday. The young guard has missed the last two weeks due to sprains in his elbow and knee. He was re-evaluated recently, but the team hasn't cleared him to play yet. The Pacers will continue […]

Kevin Love Remains Out On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran forward will miss his second game in a row due to back spasms. His absence will free up additional playing time for Dean Wade. On Thursday, Wade had a decent game with 15 points, three […]

Donovan Mitchell Listed As Doubtful For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard was held out of Thursday's game due to a strained left groin. It seems like the Cavs aren't going to rush Mitchell back to the court, so he'll likely miss this game as well. That […]

Andrew Nembhard Cleared To Play Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return means that T.J. McConnell or Chris Duarte could move to the second unit. McConnell has been excellent lately, so he can continue […]

Myles Turner Available Versus Bucks

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will be available for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is good news after the big man was listed as questionable coming into this game due to knee soreness. Fellow big man Isaiah Jackson will come off the bench with Turner cleared to play. There won't be as […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar forward is good to go despite dealing with a minor knee issue. The expectation is that Antetokounmpo will see his normal workload during this game. Behind him, Wesley Matthews and Jordan Nwora could see bigger roles with Bobby […]

Luke Kennard To Return On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) will return to the court for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's back after missing nearly three weeks due to right calf soreness. The expectation is that Kennard will be limited during his first game back. Although, Kennard will move into the starting five with Marcus […]

Ben Simmons Exits Early On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He only lasted 20 minutes before leaving the game due to left knee soreness. Simmons was held scoreless with one rebound and seven assists during Thursday's game. The Nets will likely use a committee approach to fill […]

Christian Wood To Miss Another Week

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (thumb) is unlikely to be back on the court anytime soon. The big man was re-evaluated on Thursday for his fractured left thumb. The organization has decided that Wood needs at least one more week on the sideline. Head coach Jason Kidd mentioned that Wood is considered week-to-week right now. […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Won't Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rib) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He suffered a rib contusion during Tuesday's game, so it appears he's still recovering from that. In the meantime, Nicolas Batum will likely be asked to move into the starting five on Thursday. He won't […]

Jeremy Sochan Ruled Out Versus Clippers

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young forward hasn't been great this season, but his absence is significant with Josh Richardson (knee) also sidelined on Thursday. The Spurs will be forced to ask Doug McDermott and Malaki Branham to play more […]

Josh Richardson Won't Suit Up On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran forward is dealing with right knee soreness, which will force him to miss at least this game. This isn't great timing with Jeremy Sochan (quad) also sidelined. That means, Doug McDermott and Malaki […]

Deandre Ayton Returning On Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) will return to the court against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. The big man is back after missing the last three games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return means that Bismack Biyombo heads back to the second unit. He'll lose most of his streaming appeal with Ayton […]

Kevin Love Unavailable On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The veteran forward was a late addition to the injury report due to back spasms. The Cavs will take the cautious approach here and give Love the night off. His absence should free up additional playing time for […]

Seth Curry To Sit Out On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran sharpshooter knocked down seven shots from beyond the arc for a 32-point performance on Wednesday. However, Curry will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back after his strong performance. The Nets will likely use a […]

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He made his return to the court on Tuesday, but sat out of practice on Wednesday. That being said, it appears Mitchell is still battling a groin issue. Caris LeVert played well during the three games that Mitchell […]

Isaiah Stewart Available Against Nets

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Stewart and Isaiah Livers (ankle) were listed on the injury report heading into this game. It appears both players are ready to get back on the court. Jalen Duren will have less of a role in the rotation with […]

Gordon Hayward Available On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran forward was considered questionable heading into this game due to a strained left hamstring. The Hornets will be back in full force with LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist), Terry Rozier (illness), and Hayward all available for this game. That […]

LaMelo Ball To Play On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) is available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The young guard will make his return to the court after a three-game absence. It doesn't sound like the team plans to limit Ball, so fantasy managers should make sure to get him in their lineups for Thursday. His […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Thursday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (groin) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. This is back-to-back days that Mitchell has been sidelined from practice due to a groin issue. He has joined fellow back Christian McCaffrey (calf) on the sideline for both practices. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned heading into […]

Christian McCaffrey Remains Sidelined On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice. This is now back-to-back practices that McCaffrey has missed due to a minor calf issue. The organization doesn't believe the injury is serious, so this could just be them being extremely cautious with their star back. The 26-year-old will play […]

Hayden Hurst Limited During Thursday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. The 29-year-old missed three weeks in December due to a calf injury. It's possible that he re-aggravated the injury, which is not a good sign heading into the weekend. Hurst hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this […]

Panthers Hire Frank Reich As Head Coach

The Carolina Panthers have decided to hire Frank Reich as their new head coach. The ex-Colts coach was let go mid-season after Indianapolis disappointed right out of the gate this season. Despite that, Reich has been fairly successful throughout his career. Although, this Panthers roster is much less talented than the roster he had during […]

Brandon Clarke Shifts Into Starting Five

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Grizzlies are going to be shorthanded with Steven Adams (knee) sidelined three-to-five weeks. That being said, Clarke will likely start most games in place of Adams. The Grizzlies will also need Xavier Tillman Sr. and […]

Andrew Wiggins Won't Suit Up Versus Memphis

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence likely means that Kevon Looney will return to the starting five. Currently, Looney is providing 11th-round value in 9-cat […]

James Wiseman To Be Available On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young center has been sidelined since December 25th due to a left ankle sprain. The expectation is that the Warriors are going to ease him back into action. He'll be forced to compete with Draymond Green and Kevon […]

OG Anunoby Will Play On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The 25-year-old has been dealing with an ankle issue that caused him to miss Sunday's game. However, it appears he's feeling better and will rejoin the starting five on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like the team plans to limit him, […]
