Derrick Rose Ruled Out on Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fifth straight game that Rose has missed due to a right ankle issue. Tyus Jones should soak up most of the backup guard minutes. Josh Okogie should see increased playing time as well.

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kuzma hurt his back on Wednesday and has been unable to play since then. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will likely benefit the most from the loss of Kuzma.

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest on Sunday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play in Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Leonard played 38 minutes on Saturday, so it's not surprising to see the Raptors resting him for the second game in the back-to-back set. OG Anunoby and Norman Powell will benefit the most with Leonard sidelined.

Kyle Lowry is Questionable on Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Lowry has missed nine of the last 10 games, but is getting closer to a return. Fred Vanvleet and Delon Wright have seen their minutes and usage go up with Lowry sidelined. Kawhi Leonard (rest) is out on Sunday, so […]

J.J. Barea is Questionable for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Barea has dealt with a lingering ankle issue since December. Jalen Brunson and Devin Harris would see more time on the court if Barea is unable to play. Brunson is the guy worth looking at in DFS contests.

Kyle Kuzma is Questionable for Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kuzma injured his back during Wednesday's contest and was unable to play on Friday. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Josh Hart have seen an increase in playing time without Kuzma. That will likely be the case once again if […]

Jeremy Lamb Could Play on Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) has not yet been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Lamb was unable to practice on Friday and is considered day-to-day. However, there is a chance that Lamb is able to suit up for this contest. Devonte' Graham would head back to the bench if Lamb […]

Rodney Hood is Questionable on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hood was able to play on Friday, so there is a good chance he'll suit up again for this one. Otherwise Alec Burks and Jordan Clarkson will benefit without Hood.

Frank Ntilikina Likely Going to Miss Time

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (ankle) was seen in a walking boot following Friday's contest. Ntilikina is dealing with a strained ankle tendon and could miss some games because of it. Trey Burke and Allonzo Trier will see increased playing time with Ntilikina likely unable to play. Burke is worth an add in deep […]

Marc Gasol is Questionable on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Gasol is dealing with left hamstring soreness, so the Grizzlies may sit him just to be cautious. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Joakim Noah would benefit if Gasol sits out. However, Jackson is the guy worth owning in […]

Mike Conley is Probable Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley (shoulder) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Conley was called questionable on Friday and still suited up for that contest. He scored 31 points in 38 minutes, so fantasy owners should expect Conley to be back out there on Saturday.

Ricky Rubio is Questionable for Friday

Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rubio has been dealing with some injuries lately, so we could see the Jazz decide to rest him on Friday. Dante Exum and Royce O'Neale would see increased playing time without Rubio on the court. Both players could […]

Kyle Lowry is Doubtful for Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lowry has missed each of the last five games and hasn't played in nine of the last 10. Fred Vanvleet will continue to draw the starts at point guard until Lowry is able to return. He'll be a […]

Ersan Ilyasova Will Be Available on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova (nose) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. IIyasova was able to go through full non-contact practice on Thursday. It appears IIyasova is healthy enough to suit up for Friday's game. Thon Maker will lose playing time because of this. However, IIyasova won't […]

Mitchell Robinson Likely Sitting Out on Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Robinson has been out since December 14 with an ankle issue. Luke Kornet and Enes Kanter will handle the minutes at center. However, Kornet is going to be the player worth using in fantasy […]

Dwyane Wade Will Play on Friday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) was able to participate in shootaround and will be active for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Wade missed Wednesday's game against the Cavs, but it appears to be just a one game absence. However, the Heat have plenty of depth with Tyler Johnson, Dion Waiters, and Derrick Jones […]

Robert Covington Expected to Miss Multiple Games

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Robert Covington (ankle) will miss an extended period of time, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. The Wolves have not given a timetable for Covington's return. He's dealing with a bone bruise, but the team does not believe Covington will need surgery. Josh Okogie is going to benefit the most with Covington […]

Jeff Teague Will Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) will return for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Teague has missed the last nine games, but will be back in the rotation for this one. It's unclear whether or not Teague is going to have a minutes limit on Friday. Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable […]

Mike 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. Conley said his shoulder "continues to progress", so that is a good sign that he'll be able to play. It sounds like Conley will be out there on Friday unless he suffers a setback […]

Bobby 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.

Derrick 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 […]

Kyle 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 […]

Jonathon 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. The Magic play on Friday, so hopefully Simmons can get out there for that one. He should be considered questionable for that one, […]

Rudy 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. Fantasy owners should still check back […]

Kyle 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 […]

Derrick 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 […]

Doug 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 […]

Myles 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.

Marvin 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 […]

Rudy 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 […]
