Kyrie Irving Will Play Against Bulls
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's contest, which made his status for this contest uncertain. However, the Nets play two straight home games after this game, so Irving won't be available for those contests. It sounds like he'll […]
Anfernee Simons Will Miss Thursday’s Game
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Anfernee Simons (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Denver. Portland is set to be significantly shorthanded in the backcourt with Damian Lillard (abdominal) and C.J. McCollum (lung) also unavailable. Dennis Smith Jr. stands to have enormous DFS appeal, while Jusuf Nurkic and Nassir Little can also be […]
Rajon Rondo Might Sit Out On Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This injury seemingly popped out of nowhere and could leave the Cavs shorthanded.

Dennis Schroder Draws Start With Marcus Smart Out
Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder has been elevated to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thigh) out of the mix. Schroder has held a constantly fluctuating role during his first season in Boston, but he will have significant DFS upside among the starting group Wednesday. Entering […]
Kemba Walker Remains Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game
New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will miss his seventh consecutive contest Wednesday vs. Dallas due to left knee soreness.

Marcus Smart Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday
Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thigh) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Wednesday's game vs. Indiana due to a right thigh contusion. With Payton Pritchard (health and safety protocols) questionable to return, Jaylen Brown could once again be looking at a game with massive assists upside; Dennis Schroder would also be in […]
Tyrese Maxey Set To Return For Wednesday’s Game
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey has not been listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Charlotte. Maxey has missed the previous four games due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, forcing the Sixers backcourt to get creative.

Brooklyn Nets point guard James Harden (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland due to a left knee hyperextension. Harden's absence paves the way for Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to carry higher DFS upsides, while Patty Mills figures to remain a prominent member of the starting unit. Harden logged 44 minutes […]
Stephen Curry Removed From Injury Report
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quad) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a right quad issue. His return should push Jordan Poole to the second unit Gary Payton II gets less playing time. […]
Ja Morant Questionable For Sunday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was held out of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to left thigh soreness. Another absence for Morant would mean Tyus Jones remains in the starting five. He is certainly worth looking at as […]
Patrick Beverley Not Expected To Play
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (groin) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Beverley is likely to miss his second game in a row due to right groin soreness. His absence should result in another start for Jalen McDaniels.

Luka Doncic Will Play Against Bulls
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's back in action following a one-game absence due to a right ankle issue.

De'Aaron Fox Questionable For Sunday's Contest
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a shame considering Fox has been playing extremely well lately.

Patrick Beverley Uncertain For Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has unable to play on Thursday, which led to Jalen McDaniels drawing the start. Sadly, McDaniels didn't do much, so fantasy managers shouldn't be rushing to pick him up. D'Angelo Russell is likely to gain the most […]
Gabe Vincent Clears Protocols, Remains Out Saturday
Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols, but he has not yet been cleared to return to action, ruling him out for Saturday's game vs. Phoenix.

Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic Will Return Saturday
Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (back) and small forward Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) have been cleared to get back into action for Saturday's game vs. the Pacers.

Patty Mills Rejoins Starting Five Friday
Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Patty Mills has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Friday's contest vs. Milwaukee after a one-game stint on the bench with Kyrie Irving active for the team's road outing. David Duke Jr. will be sticking in the starting group as well, although he holds minimal fantasy intrigue when the […]
Jordan Clarkson, Bojan Bogdanovic Will Miss Friday’s Game
Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson (back) and small forward Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) are among a group of Jazz players ruled out for Friday's contest against Toronto. Bogdanovic is coming off having dropped a season-high 36 points during Wednesday's win over the Nuggets, while Clarkson will be missing his first contest of the year. With […]
Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley Headline Jazz’s Friday Absences

Luka Doncic Will Miss Friday’s Contest
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a sprained right ankle. Doncic's absence vaults Jalen Brunson atop the DFS chalk plays of the slate, with Kristaps Porzingis (health and safety protocols) still unavailable as well. (Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dorian Finney-Smith should also […]
Pat Connaughton Out Due To COVID-19 Protocols
Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton landed in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, making him unavailable for the foreseeable future. He is joined by George Hill, Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen, and with Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) unavailable for at least a few weeks, the team will look to Javonte Smart, Wesley Matthews and Rodney Hood to […]
