Nicolas Batum is Doubtful on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's been dealing with left hand discomfort since the beginning of December.

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Against Bulls

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington will see increased playing time, especially with Nicolas Batum (hand) doubtful for Friday as well. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been back in the rotation lately, but will lose most of his minutes once Williams […]

Ja Morant Will Sit Versus Bucks

Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Grizzlies have a back-to-back set this weekend, so they will rest Morant for at least the first game. Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton will split up the minutes at point guard on Friday. Melton is the better […]

Brandon Clarke Ruled Out for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Brandon Clarke (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to return on Wednesday, but the Grizzlies don't want to push him too hard. Jonas Valanciunas, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Bruno Caboclo will split up the extra minutes. Valanciunas is the best fantasy option out […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (leg) will be limited off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will draw another start, while Bradley gets 15 minutes off the bench in this one. The Lakers are going to ease Bradley back into the rotation. He should get around 20-25 minutes once […]

Marvin Bagley is Probable for Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (thumb) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been sidelined since opening night, so the Kings are excited to get Bagley back in their rotation. Richaun Holmes has been playing well, so we'll see what kind of hit his value takes going forward. […]

Rajon Rondo Might Sit Against Magic

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rondo is dealing with a strained left hamstring, so the team is going to be cautious with him. There's a good chance that they have Rondo sit this one out. Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook and Troy Daniels […]

Nikola Vucevic Could Return on Friday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, head coach Steve Clifford said that there's a chance Vucevic gets cleared for Friday's game. He's been making solid progress and was able to get through shootaround on Wednesday. Khem Birch and Mohamed Bamba are going […]

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Batum left after 12 minutes during Tuesday's game due to left hand discomfort.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Favors has returned to the team after basically missing a month of action.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Won't Play Against Pelicans

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bucks aren't going to push their superstar too hard and will give him the night off against the struggling Pelicans. Antetokounmpo should be fine for the back-to-back set this weekend, so fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out for Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kuzma has been dealing with a left ankle issue since late November. The team doesn't believe it's a huge issue, but they want to give him a chance to rest here. Danny Green will likely benefit the […]

Markelle Fultz is Questionable for Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like he's dealing with flu-like symptoms, so Fultz might sit this one out. D.J. Augustin would see all the minutes he can handle as the starting point guard without Fultz available. Michael Carter-Williams would get […]

Coby White Should Play Against Hawks

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as probable for Monday's game, but ended up playing 30 minutes. However, White was unable to score during his time on the court. He'll likely continue to see consistent playing time, but he's been up and down […]

Zach LaVine is Probable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back, shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It appears LaVine is dealing with some minor injuries, but it doesn't sound like he's going to sit out. Fantasy owners should expect him to be in the starting five on Wednesday.

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) believes he'll be able to suit up for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He's listed as questionable, but it sounds like Paschall will be out there unless he suffers a setback. Fantasy owners will have to check back closer to tip-off for more information.

Marcus Smart is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye, illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the second game in a row that Smart will miss because of these issues.

Goran Dragic Remains Out on Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the fifth game in a row that Dragic has missed.

Robert Williams Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He's dealing with left hip soreness and getting ruled out a full day in advance is not a good sign. Fantasy owners could be looking at Williams missing a few more games. Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter will […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed Monday's game due to an eye infection, but is expected to return on Wednesday. Fantasy owners will have a better idea about Smart after Wednesday's shootaround. Carsen Edwards won't see much playing time once Smart is […]

Kent Bazemore Will Remain in the Starting Five

Portland Trail Blazers guard Kent Bazemore will get his second start against the New York Knicks on Tuesday, according to head coach Terry Stotts. Rodney Hood (Achilles) is done for the season, so Bazemore is likely going to take over his spot in the starting five. He saw 36 minutes on Sunday, but managed just […]

Bam Adebayo Should Be Fine for Tuesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bulls due to a groin issue. Adebayo dropped 21 points and 13 rebounds during his 40 minutes against the Bulls. It doesn't appear that this groin issue […]

De'Andre Hunter is Probable for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Hunter returned on Sunday from his finger issue, but he's dealing with flu-like symptoms now. Deandre Bembry would likely join the starting five if Hunter isn't feeling well enough to play. He could be worth a look as […]

Austin Rivers Won't Play Against Cavs

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the second game in a row that Rivers has missed with the flu. Ben McLemore and Gary Clark should see extended minutes without Rivers. McLemore has more upside than Clark for streaming purposes.

Josh Richardson is Upgraded to Probable

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's missed the last six games due to a hamstring issue. It's unclear whether or not the Sixers are going to limit Richardson at all on Tuesday. Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle will lose their streaming appeal […]

Derrick Favors is Expected to Play Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (personal) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Alvin Gentry. Favors has been away from the team following the death of his mother. He returned to the team over the weekend, but didn't play during Monday's contest. Jahlil Okafor and Jaxson […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Play Against Hornets

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said they plan to ramp up Irving's activity over the next week or so. Spencer Dinwiddie will continue to start in the absence of Irving.
