Evan Fournier is Likely Out for An Extended Time

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (elbow) suffered a sprained UCL during Wednesday's game while diving for a loose ball. He has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and is expected to miss multiple games, according to head coach Steve Clifford. Wesley Iwundu and Terrence Ross should benefit in playing time […]

Eric Gordon is Ruled Out Against Hornets

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He exited early during Thursday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to right knee soreness. Russell Westbrook (rest) is unavailable for Saturday's contest as well. Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers will see increased playing time and usage […]

Russell Westbrook Will Rest Versus Charlotte

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see the Rockets rest Westbrook. He is expected to rejoin the rotation for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Eric Gordon (knee) will join Westbrook […]

Victor Oladipo is Questionable Versus Bulls

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has missed each of the last two games due to soreness in his right knee. He was spotted working out on Thursday, so hopefully he'll be feeling well enough to play on Friday. Malcolm Brogdon (hip) is […]

Malcolm Brogdon is Doubtful for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is getting an MRI on his sore left hip, so fantasy owners are going to have to wait until the results before getting more information. Aaron Holiday, Justin Holiday, and T.J. McConnell will be asked to split […]

Serge Ibaka Has A Chance to Play Thursday

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) are questionable as well, so fantasy owners are going to need to check back closer to tip-off for more information. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson would head back to the bench and lose […]

Marc Gasol Could Return on Thursday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's normally ruled out in advance, so the fact he's questionable is a great sign. Chris Boucher and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson would lose playing time and usage if Gasol gets back into the rotation. Gasol is expected to […]

Fred Vanvleet Could Sit Versus Warriors

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has been sidelined since last week due to a left shoulder issue. Terence Davis, Norman Powell, and possibly Chris Boucher will benefit if Vanvleet is unable to play. Powell is the best fantasy option out of […]

Josh Richardson is Listed as Out for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Josh Richardson (head) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He is currently dealing with a concussion and it's unclear when he's going to get back on the court. Glenn Robinson III dropped 25 points in 31 minutes during Tuesday's game. Matisse Thybulle and Furkan Korkmaz should see […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Returns to Practice on Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) was able to return to practice on Thursday. He sat out of Wednesday's game, but has a chance to get back in action for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Langston Galloway wouldn't see as big of a role in the rotation if Brown gets back on the […]

Garrett Temple is Doubtful for Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been playing minutes in the mid-20s lately, so losing Temple would hurt the Nets rotation. Caris Levert and Spencer Dinwiddie would be asked to play all the minutes they can handle if Temple sits out. […]

Kevin Porter Jr. is Placed in Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (head) has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol. He suffered a head injury during Wednesday's game versus the Boston Celtics and was unable to return. The Cavs don't play until Saturday, but Porter should be considered questionable for that one. He needs to clear all the testing before […]

Richaun Holmes is Doubtful Versus Sixers

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Holmes was able to go through 2-on-2 work during Wednesday's practice. It sounds like the Kings want Holmes do get in some more work before they clear him for game action. There's a good chance that Holmes misses […]

Dragan Bender Lands Second 10-Day Deal

Golden State Warriors forward Dragan Bender has signed a second 10-day deal with the organization. Head coach Steve Kerr had positive things to say about Bender after his first deal expired earlier this week. Draymond Green (knee) remains banged up, so the Warriors could use Bender right now. He has been hit-or-miss most of the […]

Gordon Hayward Isn't Expected to Play on Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (knee) was able to get through some work during Thursday's practice. It appears he's making progress, but Hayward isn't expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye should see more minutes if Hayward sits out a […]

Ish Smith is Ruled Out for Friday

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Smith will sit out due to a hamstring issue. Shabazz Napier and Jerome Robinson should see more minutes without Smith available. Both Napier and Robinson are worth looking at […]

Evan Fournier is Doubtful for Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (elbow) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered a right elbow sprain during Wednesday's game while diving for a loose ball. Fournier was able to play through the issue on Wednesday, but it appears the injury is worse now. Fantasy owners will likely have […]

Marvin Bagley Remains Unable to Practice

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) remains unable to practice and it's unclear if he'll play again this season. Bagley will be re-evaluated next week, so fantasy owners will have a better idea after that. The Kings aren't playing for anything, so they have no incentive to push Bagley on the court if he's not […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returns to Practice on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (elbow) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last four games due to an elbow issue. Dedmon is expected to get back into the rotation for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's not expected to be limited after missing four games and should […]

Cam Reddish is Expected to Return on Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (back) is expected to return to the rotation for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to head coach Lloyd Pierce. Reddish reportedly looked good at practice, so it appears he'll be back in the mix for their next contest. He's worth using in most deep leagues, but might not […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Could Sit Out on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a hip injury during Wednesday's game, but Finney-Smith hasn't missed a game all season. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until he goes through shootaround on Friday before getting more information. […]

Luka Doncic Misses Thursday's Practice

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness, thumb) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He has been dealing with a sprained thumb, but Doncic has been playing through the issue. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after shootaround on Friday for more information. He'll get some time to rest up […]

Stephen Curry Will Return on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's finally back, but Curry is going to be limited to 24-28 minutes on Thursday. Mychal Mulder and Jordan Poole will lose playing time and usage with Curry back in the mix. Draymond Green (knee) […]

Deandre Ayton is Limited on Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) was limited to non-contact work during Thursday's practice. It sounds unlikely that Ayton is going to take the court for Friday's game. He continues to deal with a left ankle issue and has no timetable for his return. Fantasy owners should hold onto Ayton until the MRI results are […]

Andre Drummond Won't Play Versus Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This marks the second game in a row that Drummond has missed due to a calf issue. The Cavs aren't playing for anything and will wait until he's back to 100 percent before letting Drummond back on the […]

Damian Lillard is Expected to Return on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Lillard has been targeting his date all week, so it sounds like he'll actually be back in action here. C.J. McCollum's usage will take a hit with Lillard back in the mix. Gary Trent Jr. will head […]

Brandon Knight is Questionable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is doubtful to play, while Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out for Wednesday. The Pistons may take the cautious approach and rest Knight here. Langston Galloway would likely see heavy run […]

Bruce Brown Jr. is Doubtful for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out, while Brandon Knight (knee) is listed as questionable. Langston Galloway could be asked to play significant minutes with Detroit banged up. Fantasy owners will have to check back […]

Seth Curry Could Sit Out on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls due to back tightness. However, that was the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs could have been just playing it safe. Tim Hardaway Jr. […]

Aaron Gordon is Expected to Play Versus Heat

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He was unable to play in Monday's game due to right knee inflammation. Khem Birch and Wesley Iwundu would see more minutes if Gordon is ruled out. Neither player is worth a […]
