Kyle Lowry Won't Play on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Raptors have little incentive to play Lowry at anything less than 100 percent. At this point, Lowry should be considered questionable for Friday's contest. Fred Vanvleet will draw the start at point guard and is someone […]
Zach LaVine is Probable for Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thigh) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was able to go through shootaround and is now probable for this contest. Otto Porter (shoulder) is sidelined, so LaVine will see an increase in usage. LaVine looks like a safe fantasy option in all formats on […]
Kemba Walker Held To 21 Points In Foul-Riddled Outing
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker was in all kinds of foul trouble early, picking up two quick personal fouls in Tuesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Darren Collison is Doubtful for Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (quad) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Collison suffered a right quad contusion during Monday's game. This is a back-to-back set, so the Pacers are likely going to take the cautious approach here. Cory Joseph is expected to start without Collison in the lineup. […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out for Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the fourth game in a row that Smith has been unable to suit up.

Kyle Lowry is Questionable on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lowry is dealing with a minor ankle injury, but the Raptors might take the cautious approach and let Lowry rest a few games. Fred Vanvleet and Jeremy Lin would see increased playing time. VanVleet is the better […]
Avery Bradley is Questionable on Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Avery Bradley (knee, wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Bradley is dealing with a sore knee and sore wrist and the Grizzlies have already been eliminated from the postseason. They don't have much of an incentive to get Bradley out there at less than 100 percent, so expect […]
Jrue Holiday Ruled Out for Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (abdomen) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Pelicans have less than ten games left this season, so there's a good chance that Holiday is done for the season. Frank Jackson will remain in the starting five and is a decent deep league fantasy […]
Derrick Rose is Ruled Out for Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the fourth game in a row that Rose has missed due to a sore right elbow. Jeff Teague (foot) is also going to be sidelined for this contest, so Tyus Jones will see plenty of […]
Shaquille Harrison Logs 32 Minutes In First Start Of Year
Chicago Bulls point guard/small forward Shaquille Harrison entered the starting five for Monday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns in place of Otto Porter. It was the first start in 63 games for Harrison this season, getting to face-off against the team he made his NBA debut with last year. He tied his season high with […]
Devin Booker Cold From Deep In 25-Point Effort
Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker was relied upon to carry the offense during Monday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls, finishing 9-for-24 from the floor overall en route to a 25-point performance.

Zach LaVine Racks Up 17 Points During Victory
Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Zach LaVine finished Monday’s win over the Phoenix Suns with 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, but got up just 10 shots.

Stephen Curry Fires Up 18 Three-Point Attempts In Defeat
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was shooting from deep early and often during Monday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs, finishing 6-for-18 from behind the arc. His three-point barrage resulted in a 25-point, eight-assist, seven-rebound effort across 37 minutes. The Warriors’ sharpshooter was clearly not affected offensively by the return of Kevin Durant […]
Damian Lillard Gets 30 Points, 15 Assists On Monday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard crushed it against Indiana on Monday, finishing a 106-98 win with 30 points, 15 assists and three steals. He shot 9-for-16 from the field, including 4-for-9 from downtown. With C.J. McCollum (knee) out, Lillard gets a bigger role both as a scorer and playmaker, which makes his hot […]
Luka Doncic Puts Up A Triple-Double In The Overtime Loss

Payton was excellent as he poured in 19 points while grabbing 10 rebounds and handing out 11 assists with a steal and he even added two triples on the […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out on Monday
New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Emmanuel Mudiay is going to be a great fantasy option after dropping 28 points and eight assists during his last contest. Kadeem Allen will see increased minutes as the backup guard, but Mudiay is the guy […]
Tyler Johnson Ruled Out on Monday
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Johnson is dealing with a sore right knee, so he could very well miss more than one game. De'Anthony Melton has been reliable and is worth considering for DFS contests on Monday.
Kyle Lowry Upgraded to Probable on Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Lowry has missed the last two games due to a minor ankle injury. He should see more opportunities coming his way with Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting this one out. Fred Vanvleet and Jeremy Lin would split […]
Zach LaVine Drops Team-High 18 Points In Defeat
Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Zach LaVine led his squad with 18 points in Sunday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings, but he needed 18 shot attempts to get there.

De'Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield Hit Pair Of Triples In Victory
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox and shooting guard Buddy Hield only played 25 minutes each during the team’s win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, with both knocking down a pair of triples and finishing 6-for-12 from the field.

Trae Young Cold From Deep In 20-Point Effort
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young collected 20 points during Sunday’s loss to the Orlando Magic, all while failing to knock down a three-point bucket for the second time against the Magic this year.

Ben Simmons Narrowly Misses Out On Triple-Double
Philadelphia 76ers point guard/small forward Ben Simmons was on the doorstep of recording his 11th triple-double of the season during Sunday’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks, but ultimately finished with eight points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
