Anthony Davis Will See Reduced Minutes
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis went through shootaround and is available to play in Friday's contest. However, Davis is expected to only play around 20-25 minutes going forward. The Pelicans are tanking and don't want to risk any significant injury to their biggest trade asset. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Pelicans rest […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJrue Holiday Expected to Lose Minutes
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday is expected to see reduced minutes going forward, according to general manager Danny Ferry. Holiday is averaging 36.4 minutes right now, so that is likely going to drop significantly. Holiday is still going to have fantasy value, but not nearly as much with his minutes dropping and the Pelicans […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoLuka Doncic is Questionable on Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Doncic is dealing with a sore right ankle, but it doesn't sound like anything serious. Tim Hardaway Jr., Jalen Brunson, and Ryan Broekhoff would see increased minutes if Doncic is unable to play. Hardaway is the best fantasy candidate out […]

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Evans is still dealing with a sore left ankle injury that he suffered prior to the All-Star break.

Andy Webb 6 years agoT.J. Warren Won't Play on Thursday
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It appears that Warren is getting closer to a return, but he's not quite ready yet.

Andy Webb 6 years agoJoel Embiid Will Miss One Week
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will reportedly sit out the next week. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but he'll sit out due to a sore left knee. Boban Marjanovic is expected to draw the starts at center with Embiid sidelined. Marjanovic could be worth adding while Embiid is down. He played well as […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoFurkan Korkmaz Likely Done for The Season
Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely and his regular season is likely over. Korkmaz suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee, so the Sixers are going to be thin without his depth. Jimmy Butler and Jonathon Simmons will be asked to hold down the small forward position. Both players […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoIman Shumpert Won't Play Next Two Games
Houston Rockets guard/forward Iman Shumpert (knee) has been ruled out the next two games. Shumpert is dealing with right knee soreness, so he won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Andy Webb 6 years agoMike Muscala is Probable for Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers center Mike Muscala (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was available for the last game before the All-Star break, so the ankle injury isn't anything serious. Tyson Chandler (neck) is questionable for this one, so Muscala could take over his minutes. However, that won't be […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJosh Hart is Probable for Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) was not able to practice on Wednesday, but is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed three of the last four games before the All-Star break. Reggie Bullock is in the rotation now, so Hart doesn't have much fantasy value right now.
Andy Webb 6 years agoDerrick Jones is Questionable on Thursday
Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jones was able to practice on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he's able to suit up for this contest. Jones has missed the last three weeks, so he could be eased back into action. He's not worth […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoGary Harris Should Play on Friday
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Monte Morris and Malik Beasley are going to lose playing time and value with Harris returning. Isaiah Thomas (hip) is active as well, so it'll be interesting to see how Denver decides to split up the playing time. […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoTerry Rozier Will Play on Thursday
Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (illness) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed the last game before the All-Star break, but has been given over a week to rest. Kyrie Irving looks like he is good to go, so Rozier is going to lose playing time and obviously his […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoAustin Rivers is Probable for Thursday
Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (elbow) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Rivers is dealing with a sore right elbow, but it doesn't seem like a serious issue. Gerald Green could lose some minutes with Rivers in the rotation.

Andy Webb 6 years agoDeMarcus Cousins Won't Have Minutes Limit
Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins will not have a minutes limit going forward, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Cousins has only played 11 games so far, but it sounds like he'll play more as the season goes on. He's averaging 23.4 minutes right now and that is going to trend up. His fantasy […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoNikola Mirotic Expected to Play Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (calf) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Head coach Mike Budenholzer said that Mirotic is probable after going through Wednesday's practice. He's been out for awhile, so Mirotic might have a minutes limit. However, he needs to be added in all leagues going forward.
Andy Webb 6 years agoGoran Dragic Will Be Eased Into Action
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is going to be eased back into the rotation once he's able to play, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Dragic was able to go through Wednesday's practice and is questionable for Thursday's contest. Justise Winslow is currently playing point guard, so it'll be interesting to see what Spoelstra […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoGordon Hayward is Doubtful for Thursday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Hayward was listed as questionable beforehand and is considered day-to-day at the moment. The Celtics will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, so no big winner here.
Andy Webb 6 years agoDamian Lillard Will Play Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was originally listed as questionable, but has been upgraded and will play in this contest. He suffered a minor ankle issue during the All-Star game, but will be fine for Thursday's contest.
Andy Webb 6 years agoRodney Hood is Available on Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Hood has seen his fantasy value take a significant hit since joining the Blazers. Jake Layman is playing solid, so Hood is going to continue losing minutes to Layman. Most fantasy owners can go ahead and avoid Hood at […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoKyrie Irving Will Play in All-Star Game
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) said he's healthy and will play in Sunday's All-Star game. He missed the last two games heading into the break, but that was likely just the Celtics being cautious. It was reported on Friday that Irving was very close to returning. Irving should be fine to play in Thursday's […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoAnthony Davis Unsure if He'll Play Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (shoulder) is unsure if he'll play in Sunday's All-Star game. Davis injured his shoulder during Thursday's contest, but it doesn't sound too serious.

Andy Webb 6 years agoWilson Chandler Will Practice After All-Star Break
Los Angeles Clippers forward Wilson Chandler (quad) is expected to return to practice after the All-Star break. He was traded to the Clippers at the deadline, but has yet to make his debut for Los Angeles. However, the Clippers have plenty of depth, so Chandler won't be relevant in fantasy leagues.
Andy Webb 6 years agoGoran Dragic is Expected Back Soon
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is reportedly making solid progress and should return shortly after the All-Star break. Dragic was given a six to eight week timetable and he's currently at week eight. Once Dragic is back, Justise Winslow will return to the bench. Dion Waiters and Dwyane Wade should lose some minutes as […]

Andy Webb 6 years agoAnthony Davis Plans to Play in All-Star Game
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (shoulder) says that he plans to play in Sunday's All-Star game.

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay (shoulder) is unsure whether or not he'll be in the rotation once he returns from injury. Mudiay has missed the last 11 games due to a strained left shoulder.
