Andy Webb 6 years agoMike Conley Expected to Play on Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley (shoulder) is expected to be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Andy Webb 6 years agoBobby Portis is Ruled Out for Friday
Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Portis is dealing with a sprained right ankle, but is moving in the right direction. The Bulls next game is Sunday versus the Nets, so Portis could be suiting up for that one.
Andy Webb 6 years agoDerrick Rose Upgraded to Questionable
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rose was listed as doubtful on Thursday, but it appears that his ankle is feeling better. He's missed three straight games, but has a decent chance of returning on Friday. Fantasy owners will need to check back […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoKyle Kuzma is Questionable Against Knicks
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Kuzma was not able to participate in shootaround, but that does not guarantee he's sitting out on Friday. He injured his back on Wednesday, but the MRI revealed only a contusion. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Josh Hart would see […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJonathon Simmons Practices on Thursday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) was able to practice on Thursday. He was not able to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to a left ankle issue.

Andy Webb 6 years agoRudy Gay Upgraded to Probable
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It sounded like Gay was closer to doubtful before shootaround, but something has changed. Gay appears to be back on track to play on Friday after looking good during shootaround.

Andy Webb 6 years agoKyle Kuzma is Questionable for Friday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (back) will have an MRI on his back on Thursday. He left Wednesday's game due to bruised lower back and was unable to return. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played in Kuzma's place, so expect KCP to benefit if Kuzma is unable to take the court on Friday. Josh Hart should also […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoDerrick Jones Has Earned Increased Playing Time
Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones has reportedly leapfrogged Wayne Ellington in the rotation, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. "He's making me play him. With his minutes, it's tough to take him out," said Spoelstra. However, Dion Waiters is back, so that's just going to make more crowded in the Miami backcourt. Jones is worth […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoDoug McDermott is Available for Friday
Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) has been removed from the injury report and will be available for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. McDermott tweaked his ankle during Monday's contest. He sat out of practice on Wednesday, but it appears he'll play fine for Friday's game. However, McDermott doesn't bring much to the table […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoMyles Turner is Questionable Against Bulls
Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (nose) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Turner has a broken nose, but it does sound like he can play through it without any issues. Fantasy owners will need to check back on Friday for another update.
Andy Webb 6 years agoMarvin Bagley is Doubtful for Thursday
Sacramento Kings forward/center Marvin Bagley (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Bagley did say on Wednesday that his knee was pain-free, so that's a good sign. Most likely Bagley would be on a minutes limit if he did return on Thursday. He should be out there on the court […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoRudy Gay is Questionable on Thursday
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. However, head coach Gregg Popovich made it sound like on Wednesday that Gay wouldn't be able to play in this contest. Davis Bertans and Jakob Poeltl would see more playing time without Gay on the court. Bertans […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoMarkieff Morris Could Be Out Until March
Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (neck) has been diagnosed with transient cervical neurapraxia and will be limited to non-contact work the next six weeks. Morris won't be able to resume contact work in practice until after the All-Star break. It's looking like Morris could be sidelined until March. Thomas Bryant is playing minutes in the […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoKyle Lowry Upgraded to Questionable on Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Lowry was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, but will test his back at shootaround and possibly play on Thursday. Fred Vanvleet would draw another start and be an attractive DFS option if Lowry is unable to […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoKyle Lowry is Doubtful for Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Lowry was given an injection for his lower back last weekend and he's responded well, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Fred Vanvleet will continue to draw starts in the absence of Lowry. He'll be a popular […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoRodney Hood Listed as Questionable on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Hood has been sidelined each of the last four games due to a sore Achilles. Alec Burks and Jordan Clarkson would see more playing time if Hood is out again on Wednesday.
Andy Webb 6 years agoAnte Zizic Ruled Out on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. This will be the third straight game that Zizic has missed due to right knee soreness. Tristan Thompson (knee) is expected to be ready for Wednesday's contest, so Zizic won't have an impact in the Cavs rotation anymore […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoAnthony Davis is Probable for Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game. Davis missed Monday's game versus the Wolves, but it appears Davis will only miss one game. Jahlil Okafor will head back to the bench and become irrelevant in fantasy hoops once again.
Andy Webb 6 years agoTristan Thompson is Questionable for Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Thompson is questionable, but said after shootaround that he'd be ready. He hasn't played in three weeks, so expect Thompson to be limited if he suits up on Wednesday. Larry Nance and Channing Frye will lose playing time […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJames Johnson Will Play Against Cavs
Miami Heat forward James Johnson (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Johnson will be back in the rotation following a one-game absence. Derrick Jones will lose playing time with Johnson back on the court. Johnson isn't worth adding in most formats right now, but fantasy owners should keep him on […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoDwyane Wade is Questionable for Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He did not attend shootaround due to an illness, but that doesn't mean that Wade is going to sit out. Josh Richardson and Tyler Johnson would see heavy minutes without Wade in the rotation. Fantasy owners will need […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJeremy Lamb Won't Play on Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the week, so not surprising to see him sitting this one out. Devonte' Graham is in line to get the start, so he could be someone worth looking at in DFS […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoOtto Porter Will Play on Wednesday
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Porter has missed the last three weeks due to a right knee issue. Fantasy owners should expect Porter to be on a minutes limit for this one. Jeff Green is expected to lose some playing time with Porter returning.
Andy Webb 6 years agoJohn Collins is Available on Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks forward/center John Collins (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Collins has been dealing with flu-like symptoms, but that won't be enough to force him to the sideline. Fantasy owners can plug in Collins for this favorable matchup versus Washington.
Andy Webb 6 years agoDewayne Dedmon is Probable on Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Dedmon has missed the last two games due to a left knee issue, but is on track to return on Wednesday. Alex Len has been starting for Dedmon, but he'll return to the bench for this one.
Andy Webb 6 years agoRobert Covington Won't Play on Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Robert Covington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Covington is dealing with a sore right ankle, so he's not expected to miss a bunch of time. Both Josh Okogie and Dario Saric are going to see increased playing time. Saric offers more upside than Okogie, so […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoDerrick Rose Won't Suit Up on Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This will be the third straight game that Rose has missed due to an ankle issue. Given Rose's history with injuries it's not surprising to see the Wolves being cautious with Rose. Jeff Teague (ankle) will join Rose […]
Andy Webb 6 years agoJeff Teague Ruled Out on Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Teague was limited in shootaround and the Wolves have been cautious with him lately. Tyus Jones will draw another start and will be a popular DFS option once again.

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Irving is currently dealing with a right eye issue, so he can be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
