Andy Webb 5 years agoMikal Bridges is Expected to Suit Up on Thursday
Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings. Bridges is dealing with a right patella bone bruise that has been lingering all camp. He should earn some regular minutes in the Suns young rotation this season. Bridges is worth grabbing in the last few rounds […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoDewayne Dedmon is Likely to Play in Exhibition
Sacramento Kings center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) is expected to suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists during his time in Atlanta last season. He shot well from the floor as well, so Dedmon's fantasy value is on the rise. He's competing with Harry Giles […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoJonas Valanciunas Should Be Fine for Regular Season
Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) could be sidelined for most of the preseason due to a sore foot. However, head coach Taylor Jenkins said the team is not concerned about the injury heading into the regular season. The Grizzlies will likely be cautious with their veteran big man in the preseason. His fantasy value […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoTyler Johnson is Questionable for Preseason Contest
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (head) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Johnson is dealing with a migraine and has little incentive to play in this one. He should be fine for the regular season opener, but it's unclear how much he'll play on the young Suns roster.
Andy Webb 5 years agoRudy Gobert, Joe Ingles Out on Wednesday
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (rest) and forward Joe Ingles (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gobert has not played in the preseason yet, but he doesn't really need to warm up. He played for France at the FIBA tournament and the Jazz aren't going to push him. […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoKevin Knox Sits Out of Practice on Wednesday
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (calf) was not able to participate in Wednesday's practice. Knox suffered a strained right calf during Monday's preseason game.

Andy Webb 5 years agoTomas Satoransky Jumps Into Starting Five
Chicago Bulls point guard Tomas Satoransky will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kris Dunn was given the start during the first preseason game, but the Bulls are likely going to switch it up in camp. Dunn appears to have the edge over Satoransky, but both players […]

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered right ankle sprain on Friday and hasn't suited up since then. The Warriors have little depth at the wing position, so Burks does have a path to minutes. However, health is always a concern […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Huerter has been dealing with a knee issue and is expected to miss most of the preseason. Deandre Bembry gets a chance for more minutes without Huerter on the court. Fantasy owners can go ahead and grab […]

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (toe) will play during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Miami Heat. Monk missed the summer league, but is ready to show that he improved since last season.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) might not suit up for Thursday's preseason contest, according to head coach Doc Rivers.

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Orlando Magic. Collins is dealing with left knee tendon pain, but the team doesn't believe it's a serious issue. The fact he's probable is a great sign that the issue is nothing to be concerned about. Collins is going […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoKevon Looney is Still Bothered by Hamstring Issue
Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest. Looney injured his hamstring last week and hasn't played since then.

Andy Webb 5 years agoWendell Carter Jr. Is Out for Preseason Contest
Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans.

He'll have solid upside in fantasy leagues […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoHarry Giles Does Not Practice on Tuesday
Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) did not suit up for practice on Tuesday. He has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Phoenix Suns. The MRI on Giles' left knee came back clean, but the main focus for the team is getting Giles healthy for the regular season. It does sound like […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoMichael Porter Jr. Expected to Debut on Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) is expected to make his team debut in Tuesday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed all of last season due to a back injury. He hasn't played in a basketball game in 19 months, so expect the Nuggets to be careful here. Porter should have […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoMarcus Morris Could Be Suspended
New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris was ejected after elbowing Justin Anderson during Monday's preseason contest. Morris was tossed from the game after swinging his elbows at Anderson and then bouncing the ball off his head. There is a chance that Morris gets suspended for his actions. That means, Morris would miss some regular season […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoKelly Olynyk Won't Suit Up on Tuesday
Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's preseason contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Olynyk is dealing with a right knee bone bruise that he suffered in August.

Andy Webb 5 years agoEnes Kanter Might Come Off The Bench
Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter will probably come off the bench, according to head coach Brad Stevens. The Celtics believe that having Kanter play with the second unit will allow him to get into the post more often. Kanter played well off the bench during the preseason opener on Sunday. He should be able to […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoKristaps Porzingis Will Sit in Preseason Opener
Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavs aren't going to push Porzingis too hard, but he is expected to play on Wednesday. There is a good chance that Porzingis misses around 15-20 games due to rest. Fantasy owners should keep that in […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoTrey Lyles Will Rest on Tuesday
San Antonio Spurs forward Trey Lyles (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He signed a two-year deal with the Spurs over the summer, but might have a tough time finding regular minutes. LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMarre Carroll, and Rudy Gay will all get looks as well. It might be […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoGordon Hayward Practiced on Tuesday
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (elbow) was able to get through Tuesday's practice without any issues. He did wear a sleeve on his left elbow after bruising it during Sunday's preseason contest. The Celtics don't play again until Friday, but Hayward should be fine going forward. He may sit out on Friday, but that's probably […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoWendell Carter Jr. Unable to Practice on Tuesday
Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice. It's highly doubtful that Carter plays in Wednesday's preseason game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Andy Webb 5 years agoShaquille Harrison Does Not Practice Tuesday
Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison (knee) did not suit up for Tuesday's practice. Harrison has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) was seen doing some running during Tuesday's scrimmage. It appears that Oladipo is making solid progress, so fantasy owners can be hopeful for a return.

Andy Webb 5 years agoMarc Gasol, Kyle Lowry Won't Play on Tuesday
Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) and point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb, rest) won't play in Tuesday's preseason contest. Gasol has only participated in roughly half of camp thus far. Lowry has a minor thumb issue, so both these moves are basically just the Raptors resting their veterans. It wouldn't be surprising to see Gasol […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoWendell Carter Jr. Won't Suit Up for Monday's Contest
Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Carter has been dealing with a minor tailbone issue, so he'll take the night off. Cristiano Felicio will draw the start at center, but Daniel Gafford should see some minutes as well. Carter has plenty of upside, so […]
Andy Webb 5 years agoKris Dunn Gets the Start on Monday
Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Dunn has reportedly been great during camp, so the Bulls are expected to give him another chance.
