Drew Eubanks Out Against New York
Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (back) is out against New York due to back spasms. With Jusuf Nurkic healthy and in the lineup, Eubanks likely wouldn't have received enough action to keep him relevant in any format. That said, Trendon Watford, who has averaged only 4.9 points in 2022-23, will see more minutes. While […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoDerrick Rose Sitting Again On Friday Evening
New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (foot) won't play against Portland. The veteran will miss his second consecutive game on Friday night while dealing with a sore right foot (and a sore right toe). Cam Reddish (groin) is also out, so Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley should provide value for managers in all formats.
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoMax Strus Not Available Against The Wizards
Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) won't play against Washington. Strus has played well this season, averaging 15.3 points in 34.1 minutes per game this season. However, he'll join Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines, so Caleb Martin (illness) and Tyler Herro (ankle) could benefit from a production standpoint. Yet, if […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoDuncan Robinson Absent Against Washington
Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't suit up against the Wizards, marking his second straight absence because of a sprained left ankle. The 28-year-old has averaged only 8.3 points in 17.6 minutes per game this season. However, with so many of Miami's players on the injury report ahead of Friday's game, including Jimmy Butler […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoWendell Carter Jr. Out Again On Friday
Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) won't be available on Friday against Philadelphia. The 23-year-old has been burdened by a right plantar fascia strain, with the injury limiting him to only one appearance in the last four games. Mo Bamba, who had 15 points in Wednesday's loss to Indiana, should continue to replace Carter […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoGordon Hayward Out Against Minnesota
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) won't suit up on Friday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder contusion. As a result, Jalen McDaniels will replace him in the lineup. The 24-year-old has averaged 9.1 points this season. However, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, McDaniels could be more productive.
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoLaMelo Ball Remains Out Against Minnesota
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out ahead of Friday's meeting with Minnesota. The 21-year-old has dealt with a sprained ankle for most of the year, so fantasy managers hope he's nearing a return. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, Terry Rozier will handle the point guard duties while receiving a boost in […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoRudy Gobert Will Suit Up Versus Charlotte
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will play on Friday in Charlotte. The defensive specialist had been questionable heading into this one due to a sprained ankle. However, it seemingly wasn't too severe, so he should see his usual workload. That said, the Hornets have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing centers […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJordan McLaughlin Out Again On Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Friday against Charlotte, marking his second-straight absence. Austin Rivers received some extra work on Wednesday versus Indiana. However, Rivers only scored six points in 20 minutes, so he's not likely to provide any value on the fantasy end.
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJimmy Butler Expected Back During Road Trip
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected back for the team's upcoming contests in Boston, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The 33-year-old has already missed the previous four games because of right knee soreness, so he'll sit out a few more before he's finally ready to return. In the meantime, […]

Week 12 began with a three-game Thanksgiving showdown, although the day didn't go exactly as planned for many DFS participants. While most had expected the Bills to take down the Lions easily, Detroit kept things close for the entire contest. In the end, Buffalo managed to squeak out a victory courtesy of a Tyler Bass field […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoTyler Herro Plans To Play Versus Washington
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) plans to play against Washington, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He's missed the last eight games due to a sprained left ankle, although it's unknown if he'll be limited. That said, Herro has averaged 19.6 points while shooting 37.5% from deep this season, so he […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoAleksej Pokusevski Playing On Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Denver. The 20-year-old didn't play against the Knicks on Monday because of a sprained left ankle, but it appears as if the injury isn't as bad as initially believed. Pokusevski has averaged 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks this season, […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoSpencer Dinwiddie Will Suit Up Against Boston
Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's meeting with Boston after riding a questionable tag because of left shoulder soreness. The 29-year-old has averaged 17.1 points and 5.1 assists while shooting an efficient 40.7% from deep in 2022-23, so he's certainly been productive. Without any indication of a minutes cap versus the […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJustise Winslow Starting Against Cleveland
Portland Trail Blazers guard Justise Winslow will start on Wednesday versus Cleveland. Shaedon Sharpe replaced Damian Lillard (calf) during Monday's meeting in Milwaukee. However, after Sharpe scored two points in 26 minutes in that one, head coach Chauncey Billups will make the swap. Winslow has averaged 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in four […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJayson Tatum Will Play Against Dallas
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play on Wednesday against Dallas. The 24-year-old was listed on the injury report because of a sprained left ankle, although it's not severe enough to keep him out of the lineup. With ESPN's Tim Bontemps also reporting Tatum won't have a minutes restriction, fantasy managers can safely insert […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoDean Wade Returning Versus Portland
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) will return on Wednesday against Portland after missing his previous six games due to knee soreness. With Caris LeVert (ankle) and Kevin Love (thumb) out, extra minutes will be up for grabs. However, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, Wade won't see a full workload, so fantasy managers should […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJordan McLaughlin Sidelined On Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the Pacers due to a left calf strain. The update came from head coach Chris Finch, who may now lean on Austin Rivers or Bryn Forbes to replace McLaughlin from off the bench. However, neither man likely won't see enough action to justify adding […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoMike Conley Out Again Versus Detroit
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is out against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 35-year-old strained the Popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he picked up during Saturday's meeting in Portland. As a result, Collin Sexton, who had 10 points in 28 minutes against the Trail Blazers, may remain in the starting lineup […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoPaul George Remains Out Versus Golden State
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (hamstring) won't play against the Warriors on Wednesday. George will miss his second consecutive game because of a strained hamstring (and right knee soreness) after getting injured during the meeting with the Spurs. Kawhi Leonard (ankle) won't be available either, so Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell, who combined for […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoKawhi Leonard Out On Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out on Wednesday against the Warriors due to a sprained right ankle. Joining Leonard on the shelf are Paul George (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (calf), so L.A. will be without its primary scoring options. As a result, Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell, who combined for 57 points […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJayson Tatum Questionable Against The Mavs
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable against the Mavericks on Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. Samuel Hauser may replace Tatum in the lineup. However, Joe Mazzulla could shuffle around some of his players to get Malcolm Brogdon or Derrick White into the starting unit. That said, all three of those guys […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoDalano Banton Questionable For Wednesday Night
Toronto Raptors guard Dalano Banton (illness) is questionable against the Nets. Banton didn't suit up for Saturday's meeting with Atlanta due to a sprained ankle. However, he's now burdened by a non-COVID-related sickness, jeopardizing his availability. With Pascal Siakam (adductor), Precious Achiuwa (foot), Scottie Barnes (knee), and Otto Porter Jr. (toe) on the injury report, […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoScottie Barnes Dealing With A Left Knee Sprain
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is questionable heading into Wednesday's meeting with Brooklyn. Barnes has a sprained left knee, so if he can't play, he'll join Precious Achiuwa (ankle), Pascal Siakam (adductor), and Otto Porter Jr. (toe) on the shelf. As a result, OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet may be the featured options on […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoJosh Hart Probable On Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (ankle) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Cleveland. The 27-year-old has a sprained left ankle. However, it's not expected to keep him out for this one. Hart has averaged 9.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. Yet, with Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Hart should […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoDamian Lillard Won't Play On Wednesday, As Expected
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't play on Wednesday against Cleveland. The veteran re-strained his right calf during the meeting with Utah and is expected to be out for up to two weeks. Lillard has averaged 26.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season, so replacing him will be nearly impossible. However, […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoDean Wade Likely To Return On Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) is expected to return on Wednesday against Portland after missing the last six games with a sore right knee. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.3 points while shooting 50% from deep in 22.8 minutes per game this season. However, with Caris LeVert (ankle) out and Kevin Love (thumb) questionable, Wade […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoKevin Love Questionable Against Portland
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (thumb) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Portland. The veteran has a hairline fracture in his right thumb, an injury he picked up on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Love logged only 12 minutes on Sunday night against Atlanta, so he may not see much work even if he […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoCaris LeVert Won't Play On Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (ankle) is out for Wednesday's meeting with Portland. This will mark LeVert's second straight absence due to a sprained left ankle. Without him, Cedi Osman, who had 23 points on Sunday versus Atlanta, should consume most of the minutes. Fantasy managers should certainly look in Osman's direction, especially if Kevin […]
Dennis Clausen 2 years agoAndrew Nembhard Questionable Against Minnesota
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) is questionable ahead of the meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 8.7 points and 1.3 steals in six appearances in the starting lineup.
