Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report until later Monday evening and he was already ruled out with a non-COVID illness. He's been receiving around 25 minutes a night, so it leaves a big hole in the bench unit. Gradey Dick (thumb) was also ruled out, so the backcourt […]

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hand) was originally listed as doubtful due to a left hand sprain but it seems like he's good enough to play since the team has officially upgraded him to active on Monday.

Jimmy Butler Will Return on Monday
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play his first game since December 30. He's actually only played one game since December 18 due to the right-toe MP joint sprain he's been dealing with, so fantasy managers will welcome back a player of his caliber […]

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been listed as doubtful against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has already been ruled out for the team's game against the Houston Rockets on Monday despite playing the last two games on a minutes restriction.

Durham Smythe Not Fantasy Relevant In Wild-Card Round
Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe has been a non-factor in fantasy football this season and that doesn't seem likely to change now that the stakes are even higher in the NFL playoffs.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been a must-play option all season long and this game is no different, especially since he was removed from the injury report and is a full go.

Tua Tagovailoa Not A Safe Bet Against Chiefs
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has had moments as a top fantasy quarterback this season, but also as one of the worst. All year long, he's been an all-or-nothing fantasy piece and since Week 14 he's posted QB2-type numbers. In their final two games, the offense scored a combined 33 points compared to allowing 77. […]
