Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Gabe Vincent Active Wednesday

The Miami Heat have listed Jimmy Butler (ankle), Bam Adebayo (shoulder) and Gabe Vincent (knee) as active Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ever since the Heat got fined for misrepresenting their injury reports, their reports have been massive with injuries despite most being a non-factor. Butler and Adebayo will resume their normal roles as […]

Clint Capela Will Sit Against Nets

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Precious Achiuwa Upgraded To Doubtful On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is taking a small step toward returning to the court as he was upgraded from out to doubtful ahead of their home contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers shouldn't jump at playing him or even rostering him just yet, but he's progressing in the right direction. The […]

Robert Williams III Gets Another Questionable Tag On Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) received the questionable tag again on Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness.

Nikola Jovic To Start On Monday

Miami Heat center Nikola Jovic will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Orlando Robinson should also […]

Robin Lopez Unavailable On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Robin Lopez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is true that Naz Reid's upside was high for a few games only because Rudy Gobert missed time, but that doesn't mean Reid is exclusively a no-Gobert option for fantasy GMs managing in deeper leagues and formats.
