Tomas Satoransky Available Versus Hawks

Chicago Bulls guard Tomas Satoransky will be available for Wednesday's season opener versus the Atlanta Hawks. He was cleared from quarantine earlier this week and has kept himself in shape. Satoransky might see limited minutes on Wednesday but should be an important part of the offense with the second unit this season. His ability to play […]

Clint Capela Officially Out Versus Bulls

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) has officially been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Chicago Bulls. This doesn't come as much of a surprise because he was listed as doubtful coming into the game. John Collins should draw the start at center with Danilo Gallinari likely starting at the 4. Both players […]

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) […]

Larry Nance Jr. Could Start On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (head) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's season opener. He did miss some time in the preseason due to a concussion, but has been cleared to play. Nance could jump into the starting five with Kevin Love (calf) already ruled out. He averaged 13.1 points, […]

Rui Hachimura Sidelined At Least Three Weeks

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (eyes) will not be able to suit up for the season opener. In fact, Hachimura is going to be sidelined at least three weeks with conjunctivitis in both eyes. It's a shame to hear that since Hachimura was expected to have a big role in Washington. Deni Avdija and Troy […]

Austin Rivers Remains Out Of Practice

New York Knicks guard Austin Rivers (groin) is still unable to suit up for practice. It sounds unlikely that Rivers is able to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. That means, Alec Burks (personal) is in line for more playing time. He recently returned to the team after the birth of his child. […]

Tristan Thompson's Status Up In The Air

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (hamstring) was able to get through his second straight practice on Monday. However, his status for the season opener on Wednesday is still up in the air. Head coach Brad Stevens mentioned that Thompson will have a minutes limit upon returning to the rotation. That is great news for the […]

Nerlens Noel Returns To Practice

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) was able to return to practice on Monday. He missed the final two preseason games, but head coach Tom Thibodeau downplayed the injury. It's unclear at the moment if Noel or Mitchell Robinson is going to start at center. Regardless, it sounds like both players are going to […]

Gordon Hayward Will Play In Season Opener

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (finger) will suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. Hayward was able to get through a full practice on Monday and Tuesday. It doesn't sound like his finger is fully healed, but Hayward will be able to play through the issue. Fantasy managers should feel confident that this finger […]

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. […]

Danuel House Named Starting Small Forward

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. will be joining the starting five to begin the regular season. He'll start alongside John Wall, James Harden, P.J. Tucker, and Christian Wood with this revamped starting five. House was an underrated fantasy option last season, so hopefully that will remain the case. Fantasy managers should consider rostering House […]

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 […]

Markelle Fultz Staying In Orlando

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz has agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension with the organization. After a horrible beginning to his NBA career, it's nice to see Fultz getting back on track. He averaged 12.1 points, 5.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds last season in Orlando. The Magic believe that the young guard is going […]

Jonathan Isaac Gets Paid By Magic

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) agreed to a four-year, $80 million extension with the organization. He was limited by injuries last season but still averaged 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.3 blocks through 34 games. Sadly, Isaac will not play this season due to a torn ACL. Nonetheless, the Magic […]

OG Anunoby Gets Massive Extension

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby received a massive four-year, $72 million extension from the organization. At first glance, this might not seem like a great move, but Anunoby was well-deserving of this deal. He has improved each year he has been in the league and started 68 of 69 games for Toronto last season. Anunoby […]

Zion Williamson Expected To Play Big Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is expected to play 33-34 minutes per game, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. He went on the say that they've been pushing Williamson lately, but they know he needs it if he wants to handle playing 30 or more minutes per game. Last season, Williamson averaged 28 […]

Frank Kaminsky Returning To Phoenix

Sacramento Kings forward Frank Kaminsky has been claimed off waivers by the Phoenix Suns. The former ninth overall pick from 2015 was cut by the Kings at the end of the preseason. He will now be returning to the Suns one month after the organization decided to decline his team option. Kaminsky had some nice […]

Paul Millsap Appears To Be In Great Shape

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap is in great shape right now, according to head coach Mike Malone. The veteran forward averaged 16.7 points through the preseason. Malone mentioned that this is the most engaged he has seen Millsap in his four seasons coaching him. Sadly, Millsap's path to minutes is going to be cloudy with […]

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out For Season Opener

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton (knee) has been ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The second-year forward will sit out versus the Golden State Warriors due to a nagging knee injury. He played in 15 games last season, so hopefully he can surpass that number this year. Sadly, Claxton won't have much fantasy […]

Dario Saric Up In The Air For Season Opener

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (quad) said that he's unsure if he'll be ready in time for the regular season opener on Wednesday. He missed all of the preseason due to a quad injury that makes it difficult for him to run. Although, it appears that Saric did look good during practice on Monday, according […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out For Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (foot) has been officially ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The MRI came back clean, but the Warriors are going to hold him out as a precaution. Head coach Steve Kerr called Green day-to-day, so there is a chance that he suits up for their matchup on […]

Derrick White Signs Extension With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) reportedly agreed to a four-year extension worth $73 million. That is quite a lot of money, but the Spurs feel he has earned it with his performance last season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, so there are high expectations for White going into this campaign. […]

Marcus Morris Won't Play In Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular season opener. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but the Clippers will take the cautious approach. Nicolas Batum has been starting for Morris in the preseason, so that is expected to be the case on Tuesday. Batum could […]

Immanuel Quickley Likely Has Earned Rotational Spot

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has been impressive during his two preseason outings. The rookie guard could earn a spot in the rotation after an impressive showing this preseason. Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned that Quickley's performance over the last few games will definitely factor into his decision making about the rotation. It sounds […]

James Wiseman Could Start On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman could join the starting five for his first ever NBA game, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors took Wiseman with the No. 2 overall selection in this year's draft. Obviously, Wiseman is their future at center, so it's not too surprising that they'd start him right away. […]

Kyle Kuzma Agrees To Extension With Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has reportedly agreed to a three-year extension worth $40 million. This extension includes a player option in the final year of the contract. His fantasy value took a slight hit last season, but he was adjusting to playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Obviously, both of them are […]

Marvin Bagley Playing Both Power Forward And Center

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley played both power forward and center during Sunday's practice. Head coach Luke Walton mentioned that they will likely experiment with Bagley at both spots this season. Hassan Whiteside and Richaun Holmes will likely see a majority of the minutes at center. However, it sounds like Bagley will be thrown into […]

Marcus Morris Could Miss Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) is listed as questionable for the regular season opener on Tuesday. Morris did not play in the preseason and is expected to be eased into the rotation. Head coach Ty Lue mentioned that he's unsure if Morris will be ready in time for the season opener. Patrick Patterson […]

John Collins Wants To Improve Defensively

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins mentioned that he is focused on improving his game defensively. That the coaching staff and new teammate Danilo Gallinari have been challenging him to improve his game on defense. He averaged 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals last season, so those were already pretty solid numbers. It's unclear if the addition […]
