JaMychal Green In The Starting Lineup Friday

Denver Nuggets forward JaMychal Green (shoulder) is in the starting lineup for his team's contest against the Cavaliers Friday. It's unclear when Green suffered the injury, though it doesn't appear to be a serious shoulder strain, as he looked good in Wednesday's game. The veteran forward has played at least 29 minutes in each of […]

Dillon Brooks Questionable Against Pistons

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks (thigh) is questionable to play against the Pistons on Friday. If he's unable to go, De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) would be a great pivot play against the Pistons' poor defense, as he has excellent per-36 numbers. Brooks had strung together a couple of strong shooting performances before struggling with efficiency on […]

Ben Simmons Won't Play On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is officially out on Friday against the Bulls. Updating a previous report, Simmons was listed as probable, though that seemed like a very optimistic outlook given that he couldn't participate in the team's shootaround. Philadelphia will be without his services for the second straight game as he continues to […]

Steven Adams Ruled Out Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Suns. Adams played through a back injury on Wednesday but twisted his ankle during the contest, as he was unable to return. In his stead, Willy Hernangomez compiled 11 points and a season-high 17 rebounds in 29 minutes. While center Jaxson […]

Ben Simmons Probable, Shake Milton To Miss Another Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is probable to play on Friday while guard Shake Milton (ankle) is out. Simmons is technically listed as probable- though head coach Doc Rivers said that his status is still up in the air after he was unable to take part in the team's shootaround. While Milton is out […]

Victor Oladipo, P.J. Tucker Making Progress

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (foot) and forward P.J. Tucker (quad) both practiced in some capacity on Friday. Tucker was able to practice with the team while Oladipo did individual work on the side, so it sounds like the former is a bit closer to returning to game action. The Rockets had two home games […]

Gordon Hayward Listed As Probable For Saturday's Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (back) is probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Hayward has only missed one game, as the Hornets have yet to play this week because of health and safety protocols. It would be wise for fantasy managers to be on the lookout for any updates during the team's shootaround, as […]

Jaylen Brown Will Play Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) will be available for Friday's rematch with the Hawks. Brown continues to deal with tendinitis in his right knee- and while general manager Danny Ainge recently said it was concerning, Boston has yet to reduce his workload or minutes. Brown shot just 30 percent from the field in Wednesday's […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 23 points with 12 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in Thursday's loss to the Raptors. Antetokounmpo had a good game, though it seemed a bit empty compared to his last few efforts, which saw him compile strong numbers in the point, rebound, and assist categories while also registering […]

Pascal Siakam Drops 27 Points With Full Line

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam bounced back after a couple of rough shooting performances in his last two games. Siakam dropped 27 points on 9 of 18 shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, five assists, two triples, two blocks, and a steal in a 110-96 win over the Bucks. The 26-year-old got off to […]

Norman Powell Matches Season-High In Points With 29

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell was on fire in Thursday night's win over the Bucks. Powell scored 29 points, matching his season-high, along with four rebounds, four triples, three assists, and two steals in 31 minutes. The 27-year-old stepped up with Kyle Lowry (thumb) out of the lineup, scoring 17 of his 29 in the […]

Robert Covington Delivers Full Line In Win Over Pelicans

Portland Trail Blazers forward Robert Covington had another strong game in his team's sixth straight win Wednesday. Covington filled up the box score with 12 points, eight rebounds, four blocks, two steals, two triples, and an assist in 38 minutes of action against the Pelicans. The seven-year veteran won't wow anyone with his shooting efficiency […]

Zion Williamson Drops 36 Points With One Turnover

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson matched his season-high in the scoring column with 36 points in Wednesday's loss to Portland. Williamson rounded out his line with six rebounds, four assists, and two steals while draining a three for the second straight game. The 20-year-old also had a season-high 11 makes at the free-throw line, […]

Damian Lillard Has Monster Game In Win Over Pelicans

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard was unstoppable on Wednesday night in a 126-124 win over the Pelicans. Lillard scored 43 points with 16 assists- which matched his career-high- adding seven triples, four rebounds, a block, and a steal in 38 minutes. The Weber State product has been simply amazing lately, as he's averaged 35.6 […]

Clint Capela Records Fourth Straight Double-Double

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela notched his fourth straight double-double in Wednesday's 122-114 win over the Celtics. Capela tallied 24 points, 13 rebounds, and a blocked shot in 33 minutes. The veteran big man has had a couple of dud games offensively but continues to rank first in the league in rebounding and third in […]

Jayson Tatum Explodes For 35 Points In Losing Effort

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum broke out of his shooting slump in a big way on Wednesday night against Atlanta. Tatum dropped 35 points with six rebounds, six assists, three treys, and two steals in 35 minutes. After six straight games of shooting 40 percent from the field or worse, the former third-overall draft pick […]

Trae Young Goes Off For 40 Points And Eight Assists

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young scored 40 points with eight assists, four triples, three rebounds, and two steals in Wednesday's victory over Boston. Young turned the ball over eight times, matching his season-high, though he made up for it with his absurd 70/44.4/100 shooting line. He was coming off a couple of inefficient performances, so […]

Steven Adams Will Play Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (back) is starting Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. Adams was forced to leave Tuesday's game in the third quarter after experiencing lower back pain and never returned to the contest. However, he'll be back out there against a banged-up Portland squad that has struggled to defend the paint this […]

Rodney Hood Back In The Lineup Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (foot) will play against the Pelicans on Wednesday. Hood hasn't played since Friday, though he might find minutes hard to come by considering how well Anfernee Simons has played lately. Fantasy managers looking for value in DFS should look elsewhere, as Hood was tough to trust even before his […]

Mike Conley Won't Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) won't play against the Clippers on Wednesday. Conley was listed as questionable, which was a step in the right direction- though he ultimately wasn't ready enough to suit up. In his five-game absence up to this point, Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson have seen increased scoring and playmaking opportunities, […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out, Patrick Beverley Starting

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah. Guard Patrick Beverley will return to the starting lineup after resting in the team's last outing. Leonard will miss his third game as he continues to deal with a leg contusion but could be nearing a return after being […]

Harrison Barnes Listed As Doubtful For Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (foot) is being listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Heat. Teammate Richaun Holmes (knee) is also trending towards missing his second straight game with right knee soreness. Nemanja Bjelica should see more shot opportunities at the power forward spot- and will get a good matchup against a Heat […]

Isaiah Roby Starting Against Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby will be a part of his team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Grizzlies. Roby played 24 minutes in Tuesday's game, tallying a double-double with one blocked shot. He'll be called upon with Al Horford resting in the second half of the back-to-back and should be a useful streaming […]

Malik Beasley Not In Starting Lineup

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley will come off the bench on Wednesday against the Pacers as punishment for being late to the team's walkthrough. Beasley will give way to Jaden McDaniels in the starting five, though the former should still be a factor, albeit with a smaller workload. McDaniels could be an intriguing DFS play […]

Nikola Jokic Starting Wednesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (thumb) is starting Wednesday, as expected, after being listed as probable for the contest against the Wizards. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, so fantasy managers should fire up the MVP candidate in a favorable matchup against Washington, a team that has allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points to […]

Doug McDermott Good To Go Against Minnesota

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (knee) is good to go against the Timberwolves on Wednesday. McDermott missed his team's last game but will be back out there. It's good news for the Pacers, as the veteran small forward has been an integral part of the rotation lately, averaging 14.7 points per game on 52.5 percent […]

Monte Morris, Gary Harris Both Active On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (shoulder) and guard Gary Harris (groin) will be active for Wednesday's game against the Wizards. Harris hasn't taken the court since Jan. 3, and it's unclear how many minutes he'll be fit to play after such a lengthy absence. The big loser here is Facundo Campazzo, who had 15 points […]

Eric Gordon Will Play Against Philadelphia

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (groin) will play against the 76ers on Wednesday night. Gordon was listed as a game-time decision but will give it a go. Perhaps the fact that Houston will be without both Victor Oladipo (foot) and P.J. Tucker (quad) changed their initial designation about Gordon- at any rate, the veteran guard […]

Joel Embiid Suiting Up Against Rockets

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) will suit up against the Rockets on Wednesday. Embiid was a late scratch on Monday with back tightness but will be back out there for a great matchup against Houston after being listed as probable- DeMarcus Cousins will have his hands full trying to stop the star big man. […]

Luis Arraez Ready For Challenge Of Playing Left Field

Minnesota Twins utility man Luis Arraez said he's feeling "way better than last year" and is "looking forward to the challenge of playing left field." Arraez had a stint on the injured list last season due to knee tendinitis and an ankle sprain, though he said that strengthening his knees was a focus of his offseason […]
