Luke Kennard is Probable for Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (toe) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Kennard has been hot lately, so fantasy owners can't afford to lose him right now. He's scored 17 or more points in four of his last five games. He's dealing with a sore right foot, but that's not […]
Ricky Rubio is Doubtful for Friday
Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio (hip) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Rubio is dealing with left hip tightness and that's something he's dealt with in the past.

Goran Dragic is Questionable for Friday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ben Simmons is Questionable on Friday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) wasn't able to participate in shootaround and is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Simmons has been fantastic lately with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. T.J. McConnell would likely jump into the starting five without Simmons available. He'd be a popular DFS option if given the […]

Orlando Magic guard Isaiah Briscoe (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Briscoe has been the primary backup guard to D.J. Augustin over the last four games. However, he's averaging less than six points during those contests, so he's not much of a fantasy option. Jerian Grant would take over those minutes […]

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic has earned another questionable designation, this time prior to Friday’s outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a left calf strain.

Ricky Rubio Unlikely To Play Friday
Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio has been tagged as doubtful to appear in Friday’s contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies due to left hip tightness.
