Kelly Oubre Jr. Should Suit Up on Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Both Mikal Bridges (knee) and Aron Baynes (nose) are expected to play in this matchup as well. Oubre has been dealing with right wrist tendinitis, but hopefully that isn't something that is going to linger. Oubre […]

Mikal 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 […]

Dewayne 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 […]

Jonas 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 […]

Tyler 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.

Rudy 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. […]

Kevin 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. Head coach David Fizdale downplayed the injury, so hopefully it's nothing serious. Knox should hold some pretty solid fantasy value in most formats, assuming he gets regular minutes in the […]

Tomas 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 […]

Alec Burks Continues to Be Sidelined

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 […]

Kevin Huerter Unlikely to Play in Preseason

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 […]

Malik Monk Gets Into The Action on Wednesday

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. This very well could be his last chance to prove he can be an impact player in the NBA. The Hornets are desperate […]

Kawhi Leonard Might Not Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) might not suit up for Thursday's preseason contest, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It appears unlikely that Leonard is going to suit up at all this preseason. The Clippers want to be cautious with Leonard going into a huge season for the organization. There is going to […]

John Collins Should Suit Up on Wednesday

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 […]

Kevon 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. The Warriors don't believe it's a serious issue, but want to remain cautious here. Omari Spellman is expected to draw the start, while Marquese Chriss will get a chance […]

Wendell 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. Carter has suffered an ankle sprain and now a tailbone injury during camp this season. However, the Bulls expect Carter to be fine for the regular season opener. He'll have solid upside in fantasy leagues […]

Harry 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 […]

Michael 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 […]

Marcus 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 […]

Kelly 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. He's been limited since then, but the Heat haven't given much of a timetable yet. He could be looking at missing the beginning […]

Enes 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 […]

Kristaps 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 […]

Trey 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 […]

Gordon 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 […]

Wendell 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. The regular season is a few weeks away, so Carter has plenty of time to get healthy. He has a bunch of upside, but he'll […]

Shaquille 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. The Bulls have plenty of depth in the backcourt, so it'll be tough for Harrison to carve out a role. He has some upside, assuming he gets regular […]

Victor Oladipo Did Some Running on Tuesday

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. However, the Pacers have not given a timetable for Oladipo's return yet. He's not expected to be ready until around January or February. He'll […]

Marc 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 […]

Wendell 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 […]

Kris 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. Head coach Jim Boylen will likely switch up the lineups during the preseason, but Dunn is expected to […]

J.J. Barea Will Miss First Two Preseason Games

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (Achilles) has been ruled out for the first two preseason games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Mavs are easing him back into action as he was a limited participant in camp. It's unclear if Barea will be ready for the regular season opener. The Mavs have plenty of depth with […]
