De'Aaron Fox Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox had his status for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz up in the air for much of the day, but the team determined him and his sore left hip good to go shortly prior to tip-off.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Reggie Jackson is Ruled Out for Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's suffered back injuries during both of the first two games of the season.

De'Aaron Fox is Questionable on Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Fox suffered the injury on Friday, but was able to play through it.

Thomas has been unable to stay on the court the last two seasons due to multiple injuries. He was an MVP candidate before that, but we'll see how he plays now.

Russell Westbrook Takes Off For Rockets on Opening Night

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook recorded 24 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists in his Rockets debut on Thursday.

James Harden Struggles In Season Opener

Houston Rockets guard James Harden did not have the start to the season many fantasy owners were hoping for on Thursday night.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet will remain the starting shooting guard for the moment, according to head coach Nick Nurse. VanVleet scored 34 points in the season opener, so it's not surprising that the Raptors are sticking with him. Normal Powell could draw some starts in the future, but VanVleet is the better fantasy option. […]

Reggie Jackson Should Play on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Jackson was playing at less than 100 percent during Wednesday's season opener. He wasn't able to do much during his 20 minutes, but was fighting through back pain. He's a risky DFS option on Thursday, even if he […]
