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 […]

Cleveland Cavaliers center Robin Lopez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Cavs will rest their veteran big man here. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation. The expectation is that Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will […]

He was originally listed as questionable due to a shoulder sprain, but will now sit out because of a non-COVID related illness. The Heat are going to be thin at center for this game.

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.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11: Thomas Bryant, Jalen Duren, Moritz Wagner

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (Achilles) is questionable to play Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Nance has been dealing with Achilles soreness and has not played since December 17th, but may have a chance to come back on Monday.

Robinson finished with a game-high 16 rebounds while recording a double-double with 10 points, four assists, three blocks and a steal in 29 minutes.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Jeff Green will be re-evaluated in four weeks after he sustained a left finger sprain and hand fracture Friday against Portland.
