Dirk Nowitzki Could Play in November

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is getting closer to a return and could make his season debut by the end of November, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. The Mavs aren't setting an official date, but Nowitzki has been participating in shootaround and practices. Fantasy owners shouldn't get too excited about this news. The […]

Jerami Grant is Questionable on Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Grant reportedly had a light practice on Tuesday, so his status is still up in the air. Patrick Patterson would return to the starting five, assuming Grant is unable to play. Another update should be available before tip-off […]

Nerlens Noel is Questionable for Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Nerlens Noel (illness) was dealing with an illness at Tuesday's practice. He sat out on Monday due to an illness and it appears Noel is still fighting this issue. If Noel sits out, Steven Adams should see nearly 40 minutes, while Patrick Patterson should get more time in the rotation. Fantasy […]

Markelle Fultz Will See Shoulder Specialist

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will not participate in practices or games until he sees a shoulder specialist. Fultz wants to have a specialist evaluate his shoulder and hopefully come up with some kind of treatment plan. Fultz hasn't been doing much good on the court this season, so maybe this could be a good […]

OG Anunoby, C.J. Miles Ruled Out on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) and guard/forward C.J. Miles (groin) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Anunoby injured his wrist on Friday and sat out of Saturday's contest against Chicago. Kawhi Leonard is back in the starting lineup, so Anunoby won't have much of a role anyway. Miles will […]

Kyle Lowry is Questionable for Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He tweaked his ankle on Saturday, but it appears that this is a minor issue and at worst should only cost Lowry one game. Fred Vanvleet would draw the start at point guard if Lowry sits out. Delon Wright would […]

Dwyane Wade Will Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (personal) will return for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Wade has missed nearly two weeks due to the birth of his daughter. He's back in action on Tuesday, but it's unclear whether or not the Heat are going to limit him. Wayne Ellington and Rodney McGruder should lose some […]

Danilo Gallinari is Questionable on Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gallinari was forced to sit out of Monday's contest due to an illness. Avery Bradley drew to start in his place and scored five points in 19 minutes. Mike Scott scored 18 points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes […]

Terrance Ferguson Could Return on Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson (personal) might be able to rejoin the team by Tuesday night, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Ferguson has missed the last two games due to personal reasons. The Thunder don't play until Wednesday, so hopefully Ferguson will be back by then. Hamidou Diallo would most likely return to […]

Stephen Curry Will Miss Next Three Games

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (groin) is going to miss at least the next three games for the Warriors. Curry will be re-evaluated on Saturday, but head coach Steve Kerr said Curry won't be ready for that contest. Curry's reportedly improving, but the Warriors want to remain cautious. Quinn Cook will continue to start […]

Sammy Watkins Catches One Pass

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) was active for Week 11 despite being listed as questionable. He made the start, but caught one pass for four yards and left for the rest of the game afterwards. Watkins was in uniform on the sideline, but clearly wasn't healthy enough to keep playing. The good […]

Chris Conley Hauls in Two Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley came out of nowhere and grabbed two touchdowns during the Monday night loss to the Rams. Conley has been quiet all season long then came out and hauled in seven receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11. Sammy Watkins (foot) left after the opening series, […]

Travis Kelce is Nearly Unstoppable in Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce finished with over 100 receiving yards and was still the second best option for the Chiefs in Week 11. Tyreek Hill went for over 200 yards, so that's going to be tough to compete with as a tight end. However, Kelce finished with 10 receptions for 127 yards […]

Tyreek Hill Goes Over 200 Yards in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was unstoppable in this game and made all his fantasy owners proud on Monday. Hill hauled in 10 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Rams. Los Angeles decided to put Sam Shields on Hill, but that obviously didn't work out too well […]

Kareem Hunt Scores in Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a fairly solid game, but it was an afterthought because both teams were fighting through the air all game long. Hunt rushed 14 times for 70 yards and caught three passes for 41 yards and one touchdown. Fantasy owners can't be upset with this performance. Hunt did […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Six Touchdowns in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes unfortunately suffered the loss in the Week 11 shootout with the Los Angeles Rams. Mahomes finished 33-for-46 with 478 passing yards and six touchdowns with three interceptions. Mahomes threw for almost 500 yards, but also turned the ball over five times in this one. Regardless, it was an impressive […]

C.J. Miles Will Play on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward C.J. Miles (groin) will be able to play in Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic, according to head coach Nike Nurse. He missed the last three games, but looked fine during Monday's practice. It sounds like there is a good chance he returns to the lineup for Tuesday's contest. However, Miles is […]

OG Anunoby Expected to Return on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) should be able to play in Tuesday's game versus the Orlando Magic, according to head coach Nike Nurse. He sat out during Saturday's game after injuries his shooting wrist on Friday. Anunoby appears to be fine after resting, but there should be a better idea after Tuesday's shootaround. Pascal […]

Kyle Lowry Misses Monday's Practice

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) sat out during Monday's practice. He exited Saturday's game due to a right ankle issue. It sounds like the Raptors are just being cautious, so Lowry isn't in danger of missing much time. Lowry should be considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Fantasy owners should check […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. It sounds like the issue isn't serious, but the Pacers want to be cautious and give Oladipo some rest. There is a good chance that Tyreke Evans jumps into the starting five with Oladipo sidelined. Darren Collison, Cory […]

Avery Bradley Should Return on Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is expected to return for Monday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Head coach Doc Rivers said he was hopeful that Bradley can return after a six-game absence. He will likely be dealing with a minutes limit and doesn't hold much fantasy value right now. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken […]

Taurean Prince is Probable on Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (Achilles) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He reportedly looked good at shootaround and has been upgraded to probable for Monday's matchup. Kevin Huerter should return to the bench and Deandre Bembry will lose playing time with Prince back in the rotation. Fantasy owners […]

Elfrid Payton Expected to Miss Six Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (hand) will undergo surgery to repair his fractured left pinky and is expected to miss six weeks. Payton is scheduled to have the surgery on Tuesday, so he should be back in January. There is not enough value here to warrant stashing Payton in fantasy leagues. Wesley Johnson should […]

Wesley Matthews is Doubtful on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies will have Matthews go through his pregame routine before making a decision. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners should prepare to be without Matthews. Dorian Finney-Smith would continue to start without Matthews […]

J.J. Barea Won't Play Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This sounds like an issue that is going to sideline Barea for multiple games. Jalen Brunson and Devin Harris should see a few extra minutes with Barea sidelined. Dennis Smith Jr. might be able to get around 30 […]

Dwight Powell Ruled Out on Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played through his knee issue on Saturday, but clearly he suffered some kind of setback. Maxi Kleber should benefit the most from the absence of Powell, but that doesn't mean much in terms of fantasy basketball.

Trevor Ariza Will Start on Monday

Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza (personal) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed two games due to a personal issue, so there won't be any limits on him. Mikal Bridges who was starting for Ariza will head back to the bench. He should see his minutes reduced […]

Goran Dragic Will Miss Next Three Games

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) will sit out the next three games after having his right knee drained. It wasn't a serious injury, but the Heat and Dragic knew that this was something that needed to happen. Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington will see more playing time with Dragic sidelined. Josh Richardson should see […]

Donte DiVincenzo is Out Next Three Games

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (quad) has been ruled out for at least the next three games. DiVincenzo suffered a minor left quadriceps strain during Wednesday's contest. He's been solid off the bench for the Bucks this season. He's averaging 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.1 minutes per game this season. Pat […]

Russell Westbrook Practiced on Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) practiced on Friday, but there is no clear indication whether or not he'll play on Saturday. He's missed the last five games, but did participate in shootaround on Wednesday. It sounds like Westbrook is making progress, but who knows if he'll be ready for game action by […]
