Austin Reaves Expected To Play Versus Cleveland

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (thigh) is probable for Wednesday's matchup versus Cleveland. He has a left thigh contusion. However, fantasy managers should expect to see him on the court against the undefeated Cavs. The 26-year-old has played well this season, averaging career-highs in points (19.3), rebounds (7.0), and three-point shooting (48.0%). As such, […]

De'Anthony Melton Battling Another Back Issue

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (back) won't play on Tuesday against New Orleans.

Goga Bitadze Won't Play Against Indiana
