Jrue Holiday Was Able to Practice on Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) was able to suit up for practice on Tuesday. Head coach Alvin Gentry said that Holiday would be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets. Holiday injured his knee during Friday's game and has missed the last two contests. He's back in practice so that is […]

Derrick Favors is Out of Practice Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) was not able to suit up for practice on Tuesday. He's dealing with right knee soreness, which makes him questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets. Jahlil Okafor and Jaxson Hayes will split up the minutes if Favors is not able to play on Thursday. More information should […]

Rajon Rondo Won't Suit Up Versus Memphis

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Rondo underwent an MRI over the weekend that revealed a mild calf strain. He's listed as day-to-day, but the Lakers are expected to be cautious with their veteran guard. Avery Bradley, Quinn Cook, and Alex Caruso will […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Play Against Magic

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with a death in the family and didn't travel with the team. Elfrid Payton (hamstring) won't suit up in this one, so Frank Ntilikina will likely get all the minutes he can handle. […]

Elfrid Payton Ruled Out for Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Payton is dealing with a strained right hamstring, but is traveling with the team for their road trip. There is a chance that he plays in Friday's game against the Celtics. Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) is out […]

Kyle Kuzma Could Return During Road Trip

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) has a possibility of returning during the upcoming three game road trip, according to head coach Frank Vogel. Kuzma has not played this season and is obviously ruled out for Tuesday's contest. He'll likely be limited and eased back into action when he does return. He's someone worth […]

Willie Cauley-Stein is Scrimmaging with G-League

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) has been scrimmaging with the organization's G-League team. The Warriors are hopeful to get Cauley-Stein back during their four game homestand. They could certainly use him with Kevon Looney (hamstring) sidelined and Marquese Chriss playing below average. Cauley-Stein could be a useful deep league guy once he's healthy.

Reggie Jackson Ruled Out Against Pacers

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson has been dealing with lingering back soreness since the beginning of the season. He'll sit this one out, which means Tim Frazier is expected to draw another start. Derrick Rose will be asked to play heavy minutes […]

Kent Bazemore Could See Increased Role

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Kent Bazemore said he's fine with whatever role he's given. He just wants to go out there and impact the game however he can. Bazemore has been reliable on defense to begin the season, but hasn't done much on offense. Zach Collins (shoulder) could be looking at missing some games, so […]

Kawhi Leonard Shouldn't Be Limited

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will likely play in the 30-35 minute range, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers don't want to limit Leonard, but they know that playing him 35 minutes or more each game is a lot. It is likely going to depend on how the game is going, but […]

Zach Collins Has Been Ruled Out for Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team is waiting for the MRI results before they know more information about the injury. Head coach Terry Stotts has a decent amount of depth to work with so they probably won't rush Collins back. […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will be in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child. Head coach Erik Spoelstra is not going to ease him back into things either. Kendrick Nunn or Tyler Herro will […]

Rodney McGruder Won't Play on Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Doc Rivers is unsure when McGruder is going to be ready to play. It sounds safe to leave McGruder on the waiver wire going forward in most formats. Maurice Harkless should soak up most of […]

Joel Embiid Participates in Shootaround

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) was able to participate in Monday's shootaround. He missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but this is a good sign that he'll play. Kyle O'Quinn and Matisse Thybulle would see a boost in minutes if Embiid is unable to play. More information on his status should […]

Jeremy Lamb is Officially Ruled Out for Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) was been officially ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the second game in a row that Lamb has missed due to a hip pointer. Lamb didn't practice over the weekend, so seeing him ruled out here isn't surprising. Edmond Sumner should get another chance […]

Ricky Rubio is Ready to Go for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (knee) will be ready to go for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Rubio missed Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a sore left knee. He says it's still a little swollen, but was able to fully participate during Monday's shootaround. Jevon Carter will return to the bench with […]

Otto Porter Will Play Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) will suit up for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He needed six stitches to repair a cut on his mouth that he suffered during Saturday's game. Porter was able to stay in the game and is fine for Monday's contest. The hip issue is a bigger concern […]

Dwight Powell Could Play on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Powell has missed the first two games of the season due to a lingering hamstring issue. However, he's getting closer to a return. Fantasy owners should make sure he's not on the waiver wire. Check back on Tuesday […]

Harry Giles is Getting Closer to A Return

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, Giles was listed as questionable for this one, so he's getting closer to taking the court. He'll offer some upside with Marvin Bagley (thumb) sidelined for a significant amount of time. Giles is only worth a look […]

Demarcus Robinson is Quiet in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson saw his fantasy value increase earlier in the season, but it's taken a dip now. Sammy Watkins was back and healthy for Week 8 and that hurt Robinson's playing time. Robinson split time with Mecole Hardman and that is probably going to be the plan going forward. He […]

Mecole Hardman Finds End Zone in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has lost a significant amount of his fantasy value with Sammy Watkins returning from injury. Hardman caught both his two targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. He split time with Demarcus Robinson, so that is likely going to be […]

Sammy Watkins Returns With a Spark

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had been sidelined the past three weeks, but came back with some fire in Week 8. Watkins caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in the loss to Green Bay. It wasn't a great game for Watkins' fantasy owners, but a positive performance nonetheless. He's not […]

Travis Kelce Scores TD Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continued to have reliable fantasy value despite not having quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) under center. Kelce caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. This was the first time that Kelce has scored a touchdown […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Six Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was expected to lose some fantasy value without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) active in Week 8. However, Hill caught six of his nine targets for 76 yards in Sunday's loss to the Packers. Hill has 70 or more yards in each game since returning in Week 6. It's […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Loss to Packers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams hasn't been reliable for fantasy owners all season, but at least he was able to find the end zone in Week 8. Williams rushed seven times for 30 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Packers on Sunday. That was the first time all season […]

LeSean McCoy Leads Team in Carries in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was able to sustain decent fantasy value versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. McCoy rushed a team leading nine times for 40 yards and caught four passes for 23 yards through the air. It appears that McCoy has a reliable role in the offense, so fantasy […]

Matt Moore Throws Two Touchdowns in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore was not expected to play as well as he did during the Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Moore drew the start at quarterback due to starter Patrick Mahomes (knee) sitting out. He completed 24 of 36 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns without an interception […]

John Henson Out Next Two Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers center John Henson (hamstring) is expected to miss the next two to four weeks after suffering an injury on Saturday. Henson suffered a right hamstring strain during his season debut Saturday night. He wasn't really going to be in the rotation anyway, so fantasy owners who were taking a chance on Henson can […]

Otto Porter is Not Expected to Miss Time

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) is not expected to miss time after receiving six stitches on Sunday. Porter received stitches to repair a cut on his mouth that he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He was able to finish the game without an issue, so Porter should be fine for Monday's […]

Cody Zeller is Back on Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (personal) has returned to the team and is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Friday's game due to personal reasons, but is back and ready on Sunday. Zeller played well in the opener on Wednesday and is worth watching and owning in most formats.
