Kyle Kuzma Won't Play Versus Rockets

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It sounds like the Wizards are being overly cautious here, but Kuzma won't need further testing. Rui Hachimura should move into the starting five with Deni Avdija getting additional playing time. Both have streaming appeal, but Avdija has […]

Derrick White, Grant Williams To Start Against Thunder

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White and forward Grant Williams will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Marcus Smart (illness) and Robert Williams III (knee) are unavailable for this contest. White has been in a bad slump lately, but does have plenty of upside in the starting five. […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Return On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's back after a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. He'll slide right back into his spot in the starting five, which will push Tre Mann to the second unit. However, Mann will still have some […]

Alex Caruso Slides Into The Starting Five

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Ayo Dosunmu will head to the second unit with Caruso taking over in the starting five. Despite this, fantasy managers shouldn't panic about Dosunmu's value. This move was likely to help the Bulls starting five on defense, […]

Darius Bazley Will Play On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bazley is battling an illness, but will look to top his 18-point performance from Sunday. Aleksej Pokusevski won't have as big of a role with Bazley active in this game. Bazley has been a strong fantasy option lately […]

Goran Dragic To Start Versus Jazz

Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic (knee) will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will suit up in this one. Kyrie Irving will sit out due to his vaccination status, so Dragic should see a boost in fantasy value. Also, […]

Georges Niang, Paul Millsap Starting On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forwards Georges Niang and Paul Millsap will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Both James Harden and Joel Embiid will take the night off due to rest purposes. That means, Niang and Millsap will join Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle and Tobias Harris in the starting five. Maxey […]

Nicolas Claxton Gets Spot Start

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton will receive a spot start versus the Utah Jazz on Monday. Normally, Andre Drummond (illness) starts, but he's sidelined due to a non-COVID related illness. Claxton typically is a reliable streaming option whenever he's in the starting five. It's a tough matchup, so possibly he has less value than normal, […]

Hunter Harvey Joins Nationals

The Washington Nationals have claimed pitcher Hunter Harvey off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. He was designated for assignment by San Francisco last Monday. The 27-year-old will get a much needed fresh start with the rebuilding Nationals. Harvey has electrifying stuff, but can't seem to stay healthy. He has struggled during his brief time […]

Steven Brault Gets A Minor League Deal

Chicago Cubs pitcher Steven Brault will receive a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 29-year-old is currently dealing with an injury setback, so the deal changed from a major league deal to minor league. Brault will make $1.5 million with incentives to make additional money, assuming he makes the big league […]

Nick Senzel Avoids Arbitration

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel signed a one-year deal worth $1.2 million to avoid arbitration with the organization. This is a good deal for the oft-injured outfielder. The 26-year-old should get a chance to start everyday in center field and prove himself. He has a solid mix of power and speed that should make him […]

Brennen Davis Listed As Day-to-Day

Chicago Cubs outfielder Brennen Davis (knee) is listed as day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch during Monday's Cactus League contest. The 22-year-old prospect took a pitch off his knee during the second inning and exited the game. The team likely pulled Davis out of the game as a precaution. It doesn't sound like the […]

Jerami Grant Won't Play Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This will be the second game in a row that Grant has missed due to right knee inflammation. Marvin Bagley III started at power forward on Thursday, but Saddiq Bey benefited the most with a 51-point performance. […]

Cory Joseph Might Sit Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (rest) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Honestly, his availability could depend on the status of Killian Hayes (head) who is listed as probable. The Pistons would likely give Joseph the night off, assuming Hayes can play. Otherwise, Joseph could play Monday and have […]

Jae Crowder Forced To Exit Early On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (ankle) was forced to exit early during Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings. The veteran forward was taken to the locker room during the third quarter due to a right ankle sprain. He landed awkwardly on the foot of another player while shooting. It's a shame because Crowder just returned […]

Kyle Kuzma Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was held out of Saturday's contest due to right knee tendinitis. It was also the second game of a back-to-back set, so possibly the Wizards were just playing it safe. The expectation is that Kuzma will be […]

Domantas Sabonis Doesn't Return On Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis (knee) was unable to return during Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He suffered a left knee injury during the fourth quarter and was helped to the locker room. To be fair, there wasn't a ton of time left in the game for Sabonis to be able to return. He […]

Carter Kieboom To Miss At Least Four Weeks

Washington Nationals infielder Carter Kieboom (forearm) suffered an injury during a pregame fielding drill on Friday. Now, the organization is going to shut down the young infielder for at least four weeks, but he could be sidelined up to six weeks. There's a good chance that Kieboom doesn't take the field until sometime in May. […]

Jose Barrero To Miss Six Weeks

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Barrero (hand) is expected to be sidelined six weeks. He was diagnosed with a hamate injury in his left hand. This is a shame considering the 23-year-old was expected to compete for the starting shortstop spot in spring training. The young infielder has struggled during his brief time in the big […]

Casey Sadler To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Casey Sadler (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, according to manager Scott Servais. It was announced earlier in the day that he was shut down from throwing indefinitely. It appears the organization has decided to go the surgery route. The 31-year-old posted an outstanding 0.67 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 37/10 K/BB ratio […]

Tyus Jones To Start On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones will move into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Ja Morant (knee) is sidelined and expected to meet with the medical staff within the next few days. It's uncertain if Morant will be able to play in Wednesday's contest. Jones is averaging 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, […]

Patrick Williams Will Make His Return On Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (wrist) will make his return to the court on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. He hasn't played since October, but will finally make a return to the court. Both Williams and Derrick Jones Jr. are expected to compete for playing time as the backup power forward. It wouldn't be shocking […]

Fred Vanvleet Won't Play Against 76ers

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This isn't shocking news after Vanvleet played 47 minutes during Friday's contest. Armoni Brooks started in his place, but didn't bring much to the table in terms of fantasy production. Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam will see an […]

Chris Duarte Won't Play Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both Duarte and Malcolm Brogdon (rest) will sit out this game which leaves the Pacers shorthanded. Duane Washington Jr. and Lance Stephenson should be asked to pick up the slack on Sunday. Between the two, Washington is […]

Josh Richardson Will Play Sunday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (calf) will play Sunday versus the Golden State Warriors. He will return from a one-game absence and should slide right into the starting five. Doug McDermott (ankle) is sidelined for the rest of the season, so Richardson should continue to start the rest of the way. Joshua Primo played […]

Jimmy Butler Tagged As Questionable Versus 76ers

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He sat out their last contest due to a right ankle sprain. The Heat may decide to play it safe and give their superstar forward the night off. In that case, Max Strus and Caleb Martin (knee) would […]

Andrew Wiggins Will Play On Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He will make his return to the court after a two-game absence due to a non-COVID related illness. Stephen Curry (foot) won't suit up, so Wiggins should be asked to do more on offense. Both Wiggins and Klay […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Ruled Out Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This doesn't appear to be a serious injury and is basically a rest day for Dinwiddie. Reggie Bullock (personal) has been removed from the injury report, but won't suit up for this game. That being said, Josh Green […]

Wenyen Gabriel Is Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Normally, Gabriel isn't relevant in fantasy formats, but has played well with the Lakers. He is coming off a 17-point performance during Friday's contest. He could have some streaming appeal if he gets another start here. Otherwise, […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Sit Out Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is a shame since Towns has recorded 90 points and 25 rebounds through his last two games. Naz Reid would likely be asked to join the starting five, assuming Towns sits out. Reid would have possible streaming […]
