Nicolas Batum is Upgraded to Questionable

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's missed each of the last three games due to left hand discomfort. He was listed as doubtful on Tuesday, but it appears he's making solid progress. The Hornets are banged up, but Batum isn't going to […]

Kevin Huerter is Expected to Play on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Huerter suffered a left shoulder injury on Sunday, but it doesn't sound like it's going to sideline him. He won't be on a minutes limit, so fantasy owners can feel safe with Huerter in their lineups […]

Marcus Smart is Ruled Out for Wednesday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) won't travel with the team for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Smart is going to miss his fourth game in a row due to an eye infection. It began in his left eye, but has reportedly spread into his right eye as well. Brad Wanamaker and Semi Ojeleye […]

Fred Vanvleet is Unlikely to Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. However, Vanvleet did look better in practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Nick Nurse. The Raptors may decide to take the cautious approach which means Vanvleet would miss his fifth straight game. Norman Powell has stepped […]

Paul Millsap is Questionable for Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's missed each of the last two games due to a right quad strain. Jerami Grant has started each of those games and could be in line for another start. He's been decent during those starts and could […]

Jabari Parker is Available for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was listed as probable on Monday's injury report, but appears to be over his right ankle sprain. Parker has been playing well, but will lose fantasy value once John Collins (suspension) returns to the court shortly after Christmas.

Joel Embiid Practices on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. Embiid is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He didn't play on Sunday because of an illness, but appears better now. Mike Scott was starting in his place, but will be bumped back to the bench […]

Andre Drummond is Uncertain for Wednesday's Contest

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is likely going to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's sat out the last two games because of swelling in his eye from an allergic reaction. Thon Maker has started the last two games, but hasn't been impressive. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood […]

Blake Griffin Might Play on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Griffin was only able to play 15 minutes on Sunday before exiting with knee pain. He didn't suit up on Monday, so fantasy owners will have to wait and see how much progress he makes over the next […]

Eric Paschall Should Return on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) will return to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last two games due to a left hip issue. He's not expected to be limited at all, so fantasy owners should feel safe about using Paschall on Wednesday. Damion Lee will […]

Cameron Johnson is Doubtful Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Devin Booker (forearm) is expected to join Johnson on the sideline for this one. Mikal Bridges and Ricky Rubio are going to see heavy minutes without either of those guys in the rotation. Both Bridges and Rubio […]

Devin Booker is Doubtful for Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. There's a good chance that Booker is going to miss his third straight game due to a forearm contusion. Mikal Bridges is expected to draw another start and he'll be worth a look as a streaming option […]

Isaiah Thomas Will Play Monday

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (calf) will play in Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Thomas has missed the last five games due to a left calf strain. He'll be back in the starting five on Monday, according to head coach Scott Brooks. Ish Smith will lose most of his streaming appeal, while Troy Brown's […]

Andre Drummond is Available for Monday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is available for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He didn't play on Saturday, but it appears Drummond feels well enough to suit up here. Blake Griffin (knee) won't suit up, so Drummond will be asked to carry the load. Christian Wood and Markieff Morris will fill in for […]

Blake Griffin is Out on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Griffin had an MRI on his left knee on Sunday, so fantasy owners will have to wait for those results to be revealed. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood will see increased playing time with Griffin sidelined. Wood is […]

Fred Vanvleet is Doubtful Against Cavs

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's been sidelined for about a week due to a right knee contusion. He'll likely test out his knee during warmups, so fantasy owners will have to wait until then. Norman Powell has seen an increased role with […]

Austin Rivers is Probable for Monday

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (finger) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He recently returned from an illness, but Rivers is dealing with a sprained left finger now. It sounds like he'll be fine for Monday, but Ben McLemore would get more minutes if Rivers sits. McLemore is looking […]

Kevin Huerter is Questionable for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He left Sunday's game due to a left shoulder contusion and didn't return. It's possible that the Hawks were just being cautious and it's a minor issue. More information should be known on Tuesday, so fantasy owners […]

Isaiah Thomas Might Play on Monday

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was able to go through shootaround, so there's a chance he returns for this one after missing five straight games. Ish Smith would lose most of his streaming appeal with Thomas back in the rotation. Troy Brown might lose […]

Robert Williams is Out Three Weeks

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) is going to be sidelined for at least the next three weeks. He's been diagnosed with a bone edema in his left hip and will be re-evaluated in three weeks. Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter will be asked to split up the minutes at center. Theis has more fantasy […]

Jae Crowder is Expected to Play on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He's dealing with left ankle soreness, but should be out there unless he suffers a setback during warmups. Kyle Anderson would see increased minutes if Crowder is unable to play. However, Anderson hasn't been impressive this season […]

Marcus Smart Misses Practice on Monday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) was unable to suit up for practice on Monday. He's missed three games in a row due to a left eye infection. It has reportedly spread to his right eye, so his status for Wednesday's game is trending in the wrong direction. Brad Wanamaker and Semi Ojeleye have seen […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Travel for Road Trip

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) won't travel with the organization for their upcoming two game road trip. Fantasy owners can go ahead and rule out Irving for Tuesday vs New Orleans and Thursday against the Spurs. The Nets don't have a timetable for his return, so it's unclear when Irving will take the court […]

Devin Booker is Questionable for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) is questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was able to get up some shots on Sunday, so the Suns are going to wait and see how Booker feels closer to tip-off. Mikal Bridges is the best bet for fantasy leagues if Booker is out. Fantasy […]

Marvin Williams is Probable for Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams should see more playing time coming his way with PJ Washington (finger) sidelined. The Hornets have been reportedly shopping Williams on the trade market. He's going to carry decent fantasy value while Washington is out.

Mecole Hardman is Targeted Twice in Victory

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has shown the ability to make big plays, but has been lost in the shuffle lately. Having both Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins back healthy has basically killed Hardman's fantasy value. He saw two targets and caught one of them for 10 yards in the Week 15 win […]

Sammy Watkins Hauls in Three Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was overshadowed by teammates Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce during the Week 15 win. Watkins caught three of four targets for 49 yards in the win over the Broncos. Hill and Kelce are going to continue to be the favorite targets in KC. Watkins should be considered a […]

Tyreek Hill Grabs Two Touchdowns in Win

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had no issues in the 23-3 victory over the Broncos in Week 15. Hill caught five of his seven targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns. His first touchdown came on a 41-yard play where Hill completely destroyed Broncos' Chris Harris. The snowy conditions can't even hold back […]

Travis Kelce is Unstoppable Versus Denver

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been arguably the best tight end in the NFL this season. He absolutely destroyed the Broncos Defense during the Week 15 matchup Kelce caught 11 of 13 targets for 142 yards in the 23-3 win over Denver. Kelce surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the season during that […]

Spencer Ware Gets Lost in Running Back Committee

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware was signed by the team roughly two weeks ago and is already making an impact on the field. Ware rushed seven times for 26 yards in the victory over the Denver Broncos. However, the Chiefs have a running back committee, so Ware has handcuffed fantasy value. Both LeSean […]
