Terrence Ross, R.J. Hampton Land In Safety Protocols, Out Friday

Orlando Magic small forward Terrence Ross and point/shooting guard R.J. Hampton have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols and will miss at least Friday night's game.

Tyler Herro Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic due to a quad contusion. Herro's absence marks his second straight outing sidelined with the ailment, paving the way for Gabe Vincent to remain a significant player in the DFS market. Herro's offensive impact has remained largely unchanged […]

Isaiah Thomas Cleared To Make Lakers Debut Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Isaiah Thomas has officially signed his 10-day contract and will be in uniform for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Dennis Schroder Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Dennis Schroder (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. the Warriors due to an illness. Schroder's absence figures to funnel minutes toward Payton Pritchard, although his DFS viability is in question with Marcus Smart holding down starting PG duties. Schroder's output during December has fluctuated wildly, with games of […]

Cole Anthony Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) will not suit up for Friday's contest against the Heat due to a sprained right ankle. Anthony has been the engine for Orlando's offense thus far in 2021-22, averaging 19.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per contest. Anthony's absence should open the door for Mychal Mulder to […]

De’Aaron Fox, Davion Mitchell Will Miss Friday’s Game

Sacramento Kings point guards De'Aaron Fox and Davion Mitchell have been ruled for Friday's contest against the Grizzlies. Both players had entered the league's health and safety protocols earlier in the week, and the issues are so widespread with the Kings that it will come down to the wire if they have the requisite eight […]

Kyrie Irving Begins Return, Will Play In Road Games

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving is going to suit up this season without being vaccinated after all.

Russell Westbrook Clears Protocols, Will Play Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols in time to suit up for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves. The move is the latest in a whirlwind of testing around the league, with Westbrook ultimately not missing any time after entering the protocols. His inclusion vs. Minnesota […]

LaMelo Ball Probable For Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been sidelined recently while following safety protocols. Although, it sounds like Ball is finally ready to get back on the court. Fantasy managers can assume he'll fill his normal role and can put Ball back in […]

Luguentz Dort Hopeful To Play Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (ankle) is trending towards playing during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Aaron Wiggins received the start last game, but didn't bring much to the table during his 23 minutes. Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann played well off the bench. Both would lose touches and minutes, assuming Dort […]

Immanuel Quickley Sinks Seven Triples Versus Rockets

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley had a hot hand from deep on Thursday, shooting 7-for-10 from downtown en route to a game-high 24 points in a 116-103 win over Houston. He finished 7-for-13 overall from the field and completed his line with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Uncertain For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was held out of Wednesday's loss due to right knee inflammation. Although, Smith probably won't have much of a role in the rotation with Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons back on the court. That being […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Not Playing On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This doesn't come as a surprise with it being the back end of a back-to-back set. His absence will move Aaron Holiday into the starting five on Thursday. Although, Raul Neto is the better fantasy option even though […]

Ish Smith Not Listed On Friday's Injury Report

Charlotte Hornets guard Ish Smith is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game with the Portland Trail Blazers. Smith is poised to make his return to the court for the first time since Dec. 5. LaMelo Ball is questionable and would take a big chunk of Smith's fantasy value if he is […]

LaMelo Ball May Return Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is questionable to play Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ball has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and was able to get in some practice time with Charlotte's G-League team, but he may need a little more time to get his conditioning back. If Ball does return, expect Cody Martin […]

Russell Westbrook Enters League's COVID-19 Protocols

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook will not play Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves after entering the league's health and safety protocols. It's yet another blow to the league and the Lakers, who have won three straight. Avery Bradley has also entered protocols, so Los Angeles has signed free-agent Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day […]

Tyrese Maxey A Late Scratch Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (quad) will not play Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers are starting to make a pattern with the late additions to the injury report as Maxey was not listed anywhere coming into Thursday. Maxey is reportedly dealing with a quad contusion he likely picked up Wednesday against Miami. With […]

Jimmy Butler Out, Tyler Herro Questionable Friday Against Magic

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) is out, but guard Tyler Herro (quad) is questionable to play Friday against the Orlando Magic.

Cole Anthony And Gary Harris Questionable Friday

Orlando Magic guards Cole Anthony (ankle) and Gary Harris (hamstring) are both questionable to play Friday against the Miami Heat. Anthony missed six games in November with a sprained ankle so it is a bit worrisome to see the same injury pop up again. Harris, on the other hand, was a late scratch with hamstring […]

De'Aaron Fox Has Entered League's Health And Safety Protocols

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox is one of many Sacramento players expected to be moved into the league's health and safety protocols. The Kings already have several players and staff members in the league's protocols, and they are expected to have more reported. This is a huge blow to the team, but unfortunately they will […]

Malcolm Brogdon Will Sit Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) will not play Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Brogdon is a late addition to the injury report as he is reportedly dealing with Achilles soreness. For someone who misses as many games as Brogdon does, hopefully there is nothing serious going on here. With T.J. McConnell (wrist) also out, […]

Jalen Brunson Notches 25 Points, Nine Assists Against Lakers

Additionally, he managed to hit multiple treys for […]

He finished with 8-for-16 overall shooting and helped out with a pair of rebounds and three assists as well.. Vincent is benefitting from a number of absentees, and […]

Trae Young Scores 28 Points In Wednesday's Win

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young took an elbow to the face in Wednesday's win over Orlando, but that didn't keep him from scoring a game-high 28 points on solid 11-for-22 shooting. He was hit by Cole Anthony in the third quarter and left the floor for a bit but managed to come back to […]

Davion Mitchell To Get First Career Start

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell is set to make his first career NBA start Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. With Terence Davis (protocols) and Marvin Bagley III (protocols) in the league's protocols and Richaun Holmes (eye) out, the Kings have elected to have Chimezie Metu off the bench to match Montrezl Harrell and run […]
