George Hill is Probable for Wednesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (ribs) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hill has seen a regular role off the bench with Milwaukee, but not enough to warrant owning in standard leagues. He's seeing minutes in the mid-20s, but is only worth considering in deep leagues.
Fred VanVleet Will Play on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hip/thigh) will play in Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed one game, but apparently it's a minor issue and he'll be good to go for this game. VanVleet has seen his workload decrease with Kyle Lowry back healthy. Delon Wright will see less minutes with both guards healthy […]
Marcus Smart is Probable for Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Monday's game due to an illness, but is set to return on Wednesday. Jaylen Brown would head back to the bench and see his minutes reduced.
Kyrie Irving Will Play Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quad) will play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Irving was unable to suit up for Monday's contest due to a quad issue. However, it appears to be a minor issue and he'll be fine for Wednesday. Terry Rozier will head back to the bench with Irving returning.

Shabazz Napier Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday’s contest versus the Houston Rockets due to hamstring tightness. Napier sat out Monday’s game against Boston, halting his momentum of having scored in double digits in eight consecutive contests. Napier has seen at least 23 minutes in seven straight games […]
Marcus Smart, Aron Baynes Both Questionable For Wednesday
Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart and center Aron Baynes have both been tagged as questionable for Wednesday’s contest against the Toronto Raptors. Smart sat out Monday’s contest, which resulted in Jaylen Brown picking up the start, which could be the case Wednesday if Smart is unable to suit up due to his illness. As […]
Jeff Teague Will Suit Up Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague had been a game-time decision for Tuesday’s contest with the Philadelphia 76ers due to a sore left ankle, but will be able to give it a go.

Fred VanVleet Could Sit Out on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hip/thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed Sunday's game, but he's seen his playing time decrease with Kyle Lowry back healthy. Delon Wright would serve as the main backup point guard if VanVleet is unable to play.
Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Spurs
Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's missed the last three games due to back soreness, but now is reportedly dealing with an illness. The trade rumors are heating up, so this could be the Mavs just resting him until they find a trade […]
Jeff Teague is Uncertain for Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Teague tweaked his left ankle during Sunday's contest, but was able to practice on Monday. Derrick Rose (ankle) is expected to play despite dealing with an ankle injury. If either player sits out then Tyus Jones would gain […]
Jeremy Lin Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was probable due to a biceps issue, but is now dealing with flu-like symptoms that will likely sideline him for this contest. Kevin Huerter and Tyler Dorsey should see increased minutes if Lin sits out.
Derrick Rose is Likely to Play on Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) said he feels good and that he'll likely play in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jeff Teague (ankle) is questionable for this contest, so Rose could be looking at big minutes. Tyus Jones would see increased playing time if either Rose or Teague sit out. Fantasy owners should […]

Damian Lillard's 35 Points Not Enough Against Kings
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard scored 35 points on Monday, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kings. C.J. McCollum had only six points, so Dame needed to carry a heavier load offensively, shooting 11-for-27 from the field, while going 4-for-12 from deep. Lillard had five assists, but he also committed six turnovers. […]
De'Aaron Fox Posts Decent Line Despite Poor Shooting
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox was cold from the field on Monday against Portland, but he still finished with 16 points, nine assists, and two steals.

Terry Rozier Disappoints In Start On Monday
Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier got added to the starting unit with Kyrie Irving (quad) sidelined and he probably wrecked a lot of DFS lineups in the process in the loss to the Nets.
