Trey Lyles is Questionable for Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Trey Lyles (wrist) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Lyles has not missed a game this season, but is dealing with a right wrist sprain. Lyles doesn't offer much in terms of fantasy production and should be left on the waiver wire in most leagues. Paul Millsap could see […]

Ish Smith is Questionable for Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's been out for over a month, but head coach Dwane Casey said Smith could return on this road trip. There is a good chance he'd only see limited minutes anyway since he hasn't played in a […]

Tony Parker is Likely Sitting Out on Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tony Parker (rest) has a good chance of sitting out of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach James Borrego. He played 12 minutes on Friday and the Hornets want to make sure to be cautious with Parker. He doesn't have much of an impact in fantasy basketball anyway. […]

Mohamed Bamba Ruled Out for Saturday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is not surprising news after head coach Steve Clifford said earlier in the week that he doesn't expect Bamba to play this weekend. The MRI came back clean on Bamba's foot, so hopefully it's just a day-to-day […]

Steven Adams is Available on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He tweaked his ankle during Thursday's contest, but was able to return to the game. He shouldn't be limited at all during Saturday's contest. Adams remains a solid DFS option against the Spurs.

Ish Smith Expected to Return Soon

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is expected to return during the current road trip. He has been sidelined since December 5, but is getting closer to a return. The Pistons play Saturday and Monday, so there's a chance Smith could play in those contests. Jose Calderon and Langston Galloway will lose minutes once Smith […]

E'Twaun Moore is Probable for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (quad) is probable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Moore has been sidelined the last two games due to a left quad issue. Darius Miller started in both those contests, but would move back to the bench and see reduced minutes with Moore back.

Mohamed Bamba Likely Out This Weekend

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) is unlikely to play in the back-to-back set this weekend, according to head coach Steve Clifford. An MRI revealed no structural damage of his sore left foot. Nikola Vucevic will be forced into heavier minutes without Bamba available. Khem Birch could see more minutes as well, but not enough […]

D.J. Wilson Upgraded to Questionable on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward D.J. Wilson (hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games and was originally listed as doubtful for Friday. Normally, Wilson's status wouldn't matter for fantasy basketball, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad/hip) is doubtful for Friday. Wilson could see extra minutes on the […]

Derrick Rose Upgraded to Probable

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It sounded like earlier in the day that Rose was going to be a game-time decision for Friday. He's missed the last six games due to an ankle issue, but appears close to returning. Tyus Jones would […]

Dirk Nowitzki Will Play on Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He has missed the last two games due to an illness and rest. However, he's only seeing minutes in the teens off the bench, so Nowitzki can be left on the waiver wire.

Rudy Gay Has No Timetable to Return

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) has no timetable to return and is out indefinitely. Gay has missed three straight games and four of the last six due to a sprained left wrist. Hopefully it's something that will only sideline him for a week or so and fantasy owners can get him back soon. […]

Myles Turner Ruled Out on Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the fourth straight game that Turner has missed in a row. Domantas Sabonis will draw another start and be a popular DFS option for Friday. Kyle O'Quinn will see increased playing time off the bench.

Derrick Rose is Uncertain for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) was able to go through shootaround, but it's still unclear if he'll play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. Rose has missed six straight games and is targeting a return for Friday. It sounds like he'll test his ankle pregame and go from there. It's unknown what kind of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Doubtful for Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad, hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He played fantastic on Wednesday, but landed on the injury report on Thursday due to right quadriceps soreness/left hip contusion. Ersan Ilyasova would see big minutes without Antetokounmpo on the court. IIyasova would be worth looking […]

Eric Bledsoe is Questionable for Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He played 28 minutes during Wednesday's game, but apparently is dealing with some hamstring soreness. George Hill and Malcolm Brogdon would see increased playing time without Bledsoe. Fantasy owners should check back later in the day.

Larry Nance Jr. Likely Out Two Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) could miss up to two weeks due to an MCL sprain. He did not play on Wednesday and it appears he's going to miss multiple games. Tristan Thompson is likely going to benefit the most from this, but Channing Frye and Ante Zizic could see more minutes as […]

Marvin Bagley Will Be Available on Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Marvin Bagley (knee) has been removed from the injury report for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He returned from a left knee injury on Monday, but was held out during Tuesday's contest. He should be back to playing his normal role on Thursday. Harry Giles will likely be pushed out of […]

LeBron James Won't Play on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will not travel with the team for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This will mark the ninth straight game that James has missed as he stays in L.A. to be re-evaluated. Josh Hart should continue drawing the starts, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope benefits as well. James might be […]

Enes Kanter is Questionable Against Pacers

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Kanter sat out of Thursday's practice due to an illness, but the severity is unknown right now. Mitchell Robinson (ankle, groin) has already been ruled out. Luke Kornet would see heavy minutes without Kanter in the rotation.

Devonte' Graham is Questionable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Graham was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game due to a right ankle sprain. Jeremy Lamb is back healthy, so Graham won't have much of an impact anyway. Graham can be left on the waiver wire […]

Frank Ntilikina is Doubtful for Friday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ntilikina was able to do some work during Thursday's practice, but called himself doubtful for Friday. Trey Burke and Emmanuel Mudiay would see increased playing time without Ntilikina on the court.

Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (finger) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He did not play in Monday or Tuesday's game, so it's unclear if he'll actually be healthy enough to suit up for this one. Bogdan Bogdanovic would start while Yogi Ferrell would see increased playing time as the […]

Robert Covington is Out Indefinitely

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Robert Covington (ankle) is out indefinitely, according to head coach Ryan Saunders. Covington has a bone bruise in his ankle and it appears he's going to be out multiple weeks. Josh Okogie will continue seeing increased playing time with Covington sidelined. However, he won't play enough to warrant owning in fantasy leagues.

J.J. Redick is Questionable for Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed Tuesday's game and it appears he's going to be a game-time decision for this one. Furkan Korkmaz drew the start on Tuesday, but Landry Shamet dropped 29 points off the bench and would be an interesting […]

Jonas Valanciunas Expected to Miss A Month

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) is expected to miss a month of game action. Valanciunas is now going through basketball activities with a splint on his hand. It sounds like he won't be back on the court until sometime in February. Serge Ibaka, Greg Monroe, and Chris Boucher will hold down the center spot […]

Darren Collison is Questionable for Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Collison was listed as probable for Tuesday's game and was still able to play. It sounds like Collison is closer to probable, but fantasy owners should check back closer to game time just in case.

Myles Turner Ruled Out on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This will be the third straight game that Turner has missed due to a sore right shoulder. Domantas Sabonis will draw the start while Kyle O'Quinn gets increased minutes as the backup. Both players are worth a look […]

DeMarre Carroll, Joe Harris Will Play on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (knee) and guard/forward Joe Harris (ankle) are available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players missed Monday's game, but will be back in action for this one. Shabazz Napier and Rodions Kurucs will lose value and minutes with Carroll and Harris returning.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Suns

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He wasn't able to practice on Tuesday and continues to deal with back tightness. Jalen Brunson would draw another start if Smith is unable to play. Luka Doncic (back) is questionable, but he'd run the offense without […]
