Deandre Bembry is Doubtful for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Deandre Bembry (abdominal) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. De'Andre Hunter (personal) is going to be sidelined for that game as well. Cam Reddish could be looking at significant minutes with the team banged up for Saturday's game. He could be worth using as a streaming option […]

De'Andre Hunter Will Miss Saturday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Hunter has been dealing with an ankle issue lately, but he's missing this game due to a personal issue. Cam Reddish should see more minutes without Hunter available, so he could be worth using as a streaming option. […]

James Ennis Will Start on Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward James Ennis will draw the start in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It's only his third game with the team, but head coach Steve Clifford trusts him enough to stick him with the first unit. Khem Birch and Wesley Iwundu could see less minutes and usage with Ennis starting. Ennis could […]

Patrick Beverley Returns to Practice

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) was able to return to practice on Friday. He suffered a groin injury on February 6, but had the entire All-Star break to rest and recover. The Clippers may decide to hold out Beverley for Saturday's game since they added depth at guard with Reggie Jackson. Beverley shouldn't […]

Paul George Practices on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) was able to suit up for practice on Friday. George suffered a left hamstring strain during the last game before the All-Star break. The Clippers aren't going to push him too hard, so it's unclear if George is going to suit up for Saturday's game against the Sacramento […]

Luke Kornet Suffers Injury in Practice

Chicago Bulls center Luke Kornet (ankle) is sidelined indefinitely after suffering an injury during Friday's practice. He suffered a sprained left ankle and has no timetable for his return at the moment. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is close to returning, so that's good news for the Bulls. Daniel Gafford and Thaddeus Young could see more […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Could Return on Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) was able to get through a 3-on-3 practice on Friday. He was expected to play in Thursday's game, but the team decided to hold him out of that one. It sounds like Carter might be able to play in Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Fantasy owners should […]

Otto Porter Practices on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) was able to get in some 3-on-3 work during Friday's practice. He was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and appears close to returning to the court. There's a chance that Porter is able to suit up for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ryan Arcidiacono and Shaquille Harrison […]

Markieff Morris Has Agreed on Buyout

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris has agreed to a contract buyout with the organization. He didn't play in Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks, so this was likely already on the table before that game. The Pistons are using the youth movement with Sekou Doumbouya and Christian Wood leading the charge. Thon Maker and John […]

D.J. Augustin is Available on Friday

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) will be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Augustin has been sidelined since the middle of January and missed 15 straight games. He should be eased back into action, so he won't be much of a fantasy option right now. Michael Carter-Williams will see less minutes and […]

Elfrid Payton is Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was playing very well before the All-Star break, so this hurts to lose him when he was finally performing. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina will split up the minutes on Friday. Neither player is worth […]

Ben Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Thursday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to lower back tightness. He reportedly went through a workout and responded well, so that's a good sign for Saturday. Raul Neto would head back to the […]

Kemba Walker Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was limited during Wednesday's practice as a precaution. He has been dealing with left knee soreness, but was able to play 29 minutes during the All-Star Game. It didn't sound like Walker was going to miss this […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable for Friday

New York Knicks guard Wayne Ellington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks may decide to let younger players get more minutes as the season goes on. That means Ellington's role on the team could slowly be declining. Damyean Dotson would see more minutes in the rotation if […]

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Friday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Payton is dealing with right ankle soreness, so hopefully he'll be able to suit up here. He has been the Knicks best option at point guard all season, so losing him hurts. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank […]

Dragan Bender Signs With Warriors

Free-agent forward Dragan Bender plans to sign a 10-day deal with the Golden State Warriors. He was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks roughly two weeks ago when they needed to open up a roster spot for Marvin Williams. Bender hasn't been able to do much during his time in the NBA, but we'll see if […]

Derrick Walton Jr. Signs With Pistons

Free-agent guard Derrick Walton Jr. plans to sign a 10-day deal with the Detroit Pistons. He was waived by the Atlanta Hawks after he was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in a trade-deadline move. The Pistons could use the extra depth with Reggie Jackson accepting a buyout. However, the Pistons have other guards that […]

Eric Gordon is Unlikely to Play on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (shin) is unlikely to suit up for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said it was likely that Gordon would return for Saturday's contest versus the Utah Jazz. Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, and Danuel House will see more minutes without Gordon available. House is likely […]

Kyrie Irving Might Be Done For The Season

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is expected to undergo a procedure on his right shoulder and is sidelined indefinitely. He missed 26 games earlier in the season due to the same issue. He received a cortisone shots in order to deal with the pain, but it appears that wasn't enough. Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris […]

Damian Lillard Could Miss Three or Four Games

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) was unable to practice on Thursday and said he could miss three or four games. There's a good chance that Lillard is out until the end of the month. C.J. McCollum will be asked to handle the ball more often and take more shots than usual. Anfernee Simons […]

Will Barton Could Return on Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with right knee inflammation, but has a chance to return for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been sidelined since early December, so the Nuggets aren't expected to push him too hard. He won't have much […]

Thomas Bryant Might Play on Friday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign going forward. The Wizards might ease him back into action, but more information should be known before tip-off on Friday. Bryant is expected to be under […]

Kemba Walker is Limited During Wednesday's Practice

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee, rest) was limited during Wednesday's practice as a precaution. He played 29 minutes during the All-Star game, so the Celtics are making sure he's well rested for the second half. Fantasy owners shouldn't be concerned that Walker was unable to practice. He should be fine for Friday's game against […]

Robert Williams Won't Play During Road Trip

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been ruled out for the upcoming four-game road trip. However, he was active during Wednesday's practice, so that's a good sign moving forward. There's a chance that Williams is able to return by the end of the month. Enes Kanter and Daniel Theis will continue to split up […]

Marc Gasol Won't Play on Friday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It doesn't sound like the team is sure when Gasol is going to be back in the lineup. Serge Ibaka will continue to start at center until Gasol is ready to play again. Chris Boucher will see more […]

Ben Simmons is Questionable Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's dealing with lower back tightness, so a final decision likely won't be made until closer to tip-off. Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris, and Joel Embiid would be more involved if Simmons is unable to play. Fantasy owners will […]

D.J. Augustin Could Play on Friday

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice. He has not played in a game since January 13 due to a left knee issue. There is a chance that Augustin is ready to play in time for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Michael Carter-Williams would lose playing time and […]

Jake Layman Returns to Practice

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman (toe) has been cleared to return to practice. Layman has not played in a game since November due to a turf toe issue. He was cleared to do some on-court work earlier this month, but this is a sign in the right direction. It sounds like the team is going […]

Kevin Huerter is Probable on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with an allergic reaction, but is expected to suit up for this game. It doesn't sound like he's going to be limited and should take on his normal workload. Huerter should be owned in basically […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Will Get Second Opinion on Wrist

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is still being evaluated and will get a second opinion on his left wrist. It was reported last week that Towns would miss multiple weeks. There is no timetable for his return and it's unclear if Towns is going to play again this season. Naz Reid will see his […]
