Timberwolves Not Interested in Derrick Rose

Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said the organization is not planning on signing free-agent point guard Derrick Rose.

Rose's future […]

Chandler Parsons' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons returned on Wednesday but could see less playing time in the second half. Parsons played for the first time since Dec. 27, but fantasy owners should not get their hopes up. He played 12 minutes, scoring five points with one rebound and two assists. When healthy, Parsons can be a […]

Brandan Wright Adds Insurance to Rockets

Houston Rockets forward/center Brandan Wright is expected to compete with Nene Hilario for minutes as backup center in the Rockets rotation. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Wright will be "insurance, mostly" but could find his way into playing time. He's going to struggle to find playing time behind Hilario and Tarik Black. D'Antoni said, "He’s a good […]

Andrew Harrison's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison has shot his way into consistent minutes in the Grizzlies rotation. Harrison has played at least 30 minutes and scored 23 or more points in two of his last three games. The one dud came against Russell Westbrook, and Harrison picked up five quick fouls, which led to him only […]

Zach Randolph's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Sacramento Kings forward/center Zach Randolph was playing some terrific basketball heading into the All-Star break. Z-Bo was averaging 15.4 points and 8.0 rebounds in 27.9 minutes over his last nine starts. He was rested in Sacramento's final game before the break but said he's been benefiting from consistent minutes. The Kings started JaKarr Sampson over […]

Manu Ginobili Should Return Next Week

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (foot) is expected to return after the All-Star break. Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said Ginobili's injury does not "appear to be anything severe."

Gary Harris is Probable Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

John Henson Won't Play Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (hamstring) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He will miss his third straight game on Thursday. The Bucks want to be cautious heading into the All-Star break. Thon Maker will likely draw the start with Tyler Zeller backing him up. Neither player can be trusted […]

Kenneth Faried Ruled Out Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Kenneth Faried (personal) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It is unclear why Faried is away from the team, but it likely is because he was not dealt at the deadline. He's owed $13.7 million in 2018-19, but is not currently part of the Nuggets rotation. Faried […]

Torrey Craig is Not With The Team

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Torrey Craig (personal) is not with the team and is questionable to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He's not in the G-League either, so it is unclear why Craig is not currently with the Nuggets. Malik Beasley will see additional playing time if Craig does not join the team before […]

Jusuf Nurkic is Questionable Against Warriors

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (back, calf) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. The Blazers have just one game left before the break, so they may elect to be cautious with Nurkic. He left Sunday's game after playing just 14 minutes, so the Blazers may hold out him to get […]

Chandler Parsons Could Play on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Parsons "plans" to play on Wednesday, but will be under heavy restrictions. He has missed 20 straight games and has not played in a game since December 27, but could return on Wednesday. He's not someone worth targeting in […]

JaMychal Green is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Chandler Parsons (knee) is also listed as questionable, but the team may elect to be cautious with Parsons and rest him into the break.

Draymond Green Will Play Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (finger) will play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. He did not play in Monday's victory over the Suns, but his injury is not considered serious. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries this season, so that is likely why Green sat out on Monday. Omri Casspi, Kevon […]

Tyler Ulis is Probable for Wednesday

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyler Ulis (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Devin Booker (hip) and Troy Daniels (finger) are both listed as questionable for this contest.

Devin Booker Will Try to Play Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) is going to try and play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. According to John Gambadoro, Booker will attempt to play, but is likely headed towards a game-time decision. DFS lineups will lock before the Suns suit up, so no official information will likely be announced before lineups lock […]

Tyson Chandler Ruled Out Against Jazz

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Chandler returned to the lineup on Monday after missing two games. He played 18 minutes and finished with eight points and nine rebounds. Dragan Bender will draw the start at center. Alex Len and Marquese Chriss will see […]

Kent Bazemore Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore (rest) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Dennis Schroder (back) and Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder) will be sidelined as well.

Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The Hawks will also be without Dennis Schroder (back) and Kent Bazemore (rest) against the Pistons. John Collins should see a significant amount of playing time without Ilyasova in the rotation. He'll be someone worth looking at in DFS on […]

Kris Dunn Will Play Against Raptors

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (concussion) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Dunn has not played since Jan 17 but was cleared from the concussion protocol last week. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said Dunn will start and play roughly 20 minutes against the Raptors. Jerian Grant will head back to the bench and […]

Ricky Rubio Ruled Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (hip) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. This will be the third straight game that Rubio has missed.

Eric Gordon is Questionable Against Kings

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Gordon appears to have suffered a knee injury during the Rockets victory over the Wolves on Tuesday. He was dealing with back stiffness earlier in the month, but Gordon has a new injury to worry about. Gerald Green, Luc […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Embiid has been listed as questionable for Philly's last two games and played in both. This is the Sixers last game before the All-Star break, so Embiid will get the benefit of extra rest. This sounds like the Sixers are […]

Markieff Morris is Probable for Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He sat out of Saturday's game and was unable to practice on Monday. However, it appears Morris is on track to play in Wednesday's contest. Owners should check back closer to tip-off for confirmation on his status. Kelly Oubre […]

Orlando Magic forward/center Nikola Vucevic (hand) will not play against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. However, Vuc plans to return on Feb. 22, Orlando's first game after the All-Star break.

Aaron Gordon Won't Play Against Hornets

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He was doubtful heading into Wednesday, but this was a no-brainer for Orlando. Sitting Gordon will allow him an extra eight days of rest and he's already withdrawn from the dunk contest. The Magic have a solid chance […]

Tim Frazier Ruled Out Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard Tim Frazier (nose) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks.

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Frank Vogel said Gordon is unlikely to play against Charlotte, but is technically listed as questionable.
