Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (knee) will not play against the Boston Celtics Thursday. Horford will miss his homecoming game against his former team with a left knee injury.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Marvin Bagley (thumb) will play and come off the bench Wednesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bagley will also have a minutes restriction in his first game back since the season opener.

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Teague was questionable with an ankle injury, but turns out the injury is more minor than originally believed. Teague has been coming off the bench and hovering between 25-30 minutes. He will likely resume his normal role Wednesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forwards Brandon Clarke (oblique) and Kyle Anderson (heel) are both available to play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Both players were listed as probable so this should come as no surprise. Both Anderson and Clarke will likely resume their normal roles off the bench with no minutes restrictions being reported.

We are entering the halfway point of the week and I am sure we are all looking forward to the weekend. However, the league has blessed us with an 11-game slate and plenty of basketball to be played Wednesday night. As most big days, the top players are usually always a good pick and will […]

We have a lighter slate here on Tuesday with just five games to be played. With not as many stars out to shine in this slate, role players and lower priced players become much more valuable. One game I wanted to highlight, and you will see a trend below, is the Charlotte Hornets against the […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoJonas Valanciunas Will Play Wednesday On Minutes Limit
Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) will play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Valanciunas is recovering from an illness and head coach Taylor Jenkins noted Valanciunas "might not play regular minutes". Sounds like he will be on a minutes limit after missing two games with the illness. The return of Valanciunas will take away touches […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoLuke Kennard Will Sit Out Second Night Of Back-To-Back
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Luke Kennard (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Kennard is dealing with a knee issue and was originally questionable to play. However, he will sit due to the nature of a back-to-back and the fact he had knee issues during training camp. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk will start and is a […]

Dale Johnson 5 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/26/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Sandwiched in between two huge nights of NBA basketball, we have a barren slate of just two games on Tuesday. The schedule starts to get wacky during a holiday week so this is not necessarily out of the norm. Because of the extremely small slate, we will not mention the obvious stars such as Luka […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoHassan Whiteside Probable Monday
Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (hip) is probable Monday against the Chicago Bulls. It looks like Whiteside is back on track to play after missing two games with a right hip injury. If Whiteside is able to return, Skal Labissiere will lose most of his short-term value. There is a chance Whiteside's injury lingers, […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoRudy Gobert Questionable Monday Against Milwaukee
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is questionable against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Gobert sat out Saturday's contest after being a game-time decision with a mild ankle sprain he suffered Friday night. The fact Gobert is questionable instead of doubtful is a good sign, but this is still a situation to monitor. Tony Bradley […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoRudy Gobert Will Not Play Against Pelicans
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will sit Saturday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Gobert tweaked his ankle in Friday night's game and was a game-time call for Saturday. However, Gobert did not warm up and was ultimately ruled out just before tip-off. Tony Bradley will start and most likely see 30-plus minutes. The […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoDerrick Rose And Luke Kennard Expected To Play
Detroit Pistons guards Derrick Rose (foot) and Luke Kennard (hip) are both expected to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Both players were listed as questionable with their respective ailments, however head coach Dwane Casey expects both to play. This is the second night of a back-to-back so there is a chance both are […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoAlex Caruso Out Against Memphis
Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (calf) will not play Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Caruso has been dealing with a calf injury and re-aggravated it against Oklahoma City on Friday. Caruso was originally doubtful, but upgraded to questionable before being ruled out completely. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will likely get even more minutes on the wing. […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoKevin Love Will Sit Saturday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (back) will not play Saturday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Love is dealing with back soreness and the Cavs are on the second night of a back-to-back so it makes sense to sit him. Love's injury history is always concerning, but this should not be a serious issue. Larry […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoBogdan Bogdanovic Doubtful Against Wizards Sunday
Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as doubtful Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Bogdanovic missed Friday's game with hamstring tightness after scoring a career-high 31 points on Tuesday. Bogdanovic has been the primary beneficiary to the absence of De'Aaron Fox (ankle) and is looking like he will miss a prime matchup against the […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoDerrick Rose, Luke Kennard And Tony Snell Questionable At Bucks
Detroit Pistons guards Derrick Rose (foot), Luke Kennard (hip) and Tony Snell (hip) are all questionable to play Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. With all three on the injury report, the Pistons will be extremely thin on the wing if they cannot give it a go. If any of those three are unable to play, […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoBlake Griffin Out Against Milwaukee
Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. This was mostly expected as Griffin is sitting the second night of a back-to-back with "soreness". With Griffin out, the Pistons will likely give more minutes to a committee of Markieff Morris, Thon Maker and Christian Wood.
Dale Johnson 5 years agoLonzo Ball Will Come Off The Bench Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (groin) will play but will come off the bench Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns. Ball has been sidelined for almost two weeks and will have a 20-minute restriction, per head coach Alvin Gentry. Ball's return will likely lower the value of J.J. Redick and Nickeil Alexander-Walker moving […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoRicky Rubio Remains Out Against Pelicans
Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (back) will not play Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rubio will miss his second game dealing with back spasms after fighting through the injury and playing 16 minutes on Tuesday. With Rubio out, Tyler Johnson will start at point guard. Rubio should be considered questionable for their next […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoAnfernee Simons In, Hassan Whiteside Out Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, his teammate Hassan Whiteside (hip) will not play after missing shootaround with a hip injury. Simons will likely start and play heavy minutes in the absence of Damian Lillard (back). In the absence of Whiteside, a committee of Skal […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoCoby White Will Play Through Ankle Injury
Updating a previous report, Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White (ankle) says he will play Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. White tweaked his ankle during his pregame routine, but the injury is not enough to keep him out of the lineup. White will resume his normal role off the bench.
Dale Johnson 5 years agoAron Baynes Ruled Out Ahead Of Thursday Night
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (hip) has already been ruled out Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Baynes sat Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings with a hip contusion and will miss his second straight on Thursday. The fact he is ruled out a day in advance is not a great sign. Frank Kaminsky […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoDraymond Green Ruled Out With Soreness
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (heel) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Green is dealing with heel soreness and also banged his elbow Tuesday night. This is the second night of a back-to-back for the Warriors and given the way they have treated injuries, it is no surprise they are sitting Green. […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoCoby White A Game-Time Decision Wednesday
Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White (ankle) suffered an apparent ankle sprain before Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. White suffered the injury during warm ups and is now a game-time decision. If White is unable to go, Tomas Satoransky and Kris Dunn will get extra run.

After a couple small slates to start the week, Wednesday's slate consists of 11 games with a ton of opportunity for value. We have six games with a projected over/under of at least 218 points. As we have seen in the early weeks of the season, we have a ton of injuries to monitor ahead […]

Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (back) and forward/center Frank Kaminsky (hip) will both play and start against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Both Rubio and Kaminsky were game-time calls with their respective ailments, but neither were deemed serious enough to keep them out of play. With Aron Baynes (hip) out, Kaminsky should get all […]
