Solomon Hill and Darius Miller will likely see increased roles against the Thunder.
Mike Conley is Questionable on Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger and Conley does have a history with injuries. The Grizzlies may decide to let Conley have the night off to rest. Shelvin Mack would be in line to draw the start […]
Lou Williams Expected to Miss Two Weeks
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is expected to miss roughly two weeks of action, according to head coach Doc Rivers. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Williams could be sidelined longer than two weeks. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrone Wallace, and Milos Teodosic will all see increased playing time with Williams sidelined. SGA […]
Kyrie Irving Will Play on Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is "okay" and will play in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to Jay King. He sat out on Monday, but isn't on the injury report for Wednesday. Terry Rozier would head back to the second unit and lose value and playing time with Irving returning.
Tyler Johnson is Available on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Johnson missed one game due to a hip issue, but appears fine to play on Wednesday. Goran Dragic (knee) is sidelined, so that means more playing time for Johnson. He's someone worth considering in DFS contests, assuming he draws the […]
Goran Dragic Ruled Out on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Dragic just returned from an eight game absence, but apparently he's not ready yet.

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet recorded a career-high 14 assists to help secure the win on Tuesday over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Mike Conley Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Having battled a finger injury earlier in the week, Conley is now reportedly suffering from left hamstring soreness, which puts his status in doubt. Should he be forced to miss his first game of […]
Lou Williams is Questionable on Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Williams left Monday's game due to a sore right hamstring and was unable to return. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should get more involved if Williams is unable to play. However, the Clippers will probably use a committee approach to fill the […]
Jamal Crawford is Questionable for Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Suns won't have a shootaround on Tuesday. Josh Jackson and Troy Daniels will see increased playing time, assuming Crawford sits out. Jackson is looking like a […]
John Wall is Uncertain for Wednesday
Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (heel) will likely be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Head coach Scott Brooks said Wall was able to get up some shots and took part in the team's walkthrough on Tuesday. Austin Rivers and Tomas Satoransky will continue seeing increased playing time until Wall […]
Kyrie Irving is Expected to Play on Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report and is expected to play on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards.

Victor Oladipo Practices on Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) was able to participate in Tuesday's practice. Oladipo was reportedly able to go through 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 work, so it appears he's heading in the right direction. It's uncertain whether or not Oladipo will play in Wednesday's contest, but he'll be under a minutes limit if he does. There […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out for Monday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Terry Rozier […]
Bobby Portis, Kris Dunn Will Play on Monday
Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (knee) and guard Kris Dunn (knee) will play in Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It sounds like both players will come off the bench on Monday and be eased back into action. Jabari Parker will lose some minutes and value with Portis returning. Dunn will be slowly eased back […]
Tyler Johnson, Wayne Ellington Expected to Play Monday
Miami Heat guards Tyler Johnson (hip) and Wayne Ellington (personal) are expected to be available for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson left their last contest early due to a hip issue, but he seems fine. However, the Heat are getting healthy, so that is going to hurt Johnson's value. Ellington missed the […]
Jamal Murray Participates in Shootaround
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (forearm, shin) was able to get through shootaround, but is still questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It sounds like the Nuggets want to be cautious with Murray and prevent any long term issues. Denver is really banged up, so they desperately need Murray, but they won't let […]
Austin Rivers Will Start on Monday
Washington Wizards point guard Austin Rivers will join the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. John Wall (heel) is sitting this one out, but that's not surprising after he tried to play through the issue last game. Tomas Satoransky should see increased playing time as well. Bradley Beal will be asked to […]
Kyle Lowry Goes Scoreless On Sunday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry was shockingly held to zero points in 34 minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. In Lowry's past four games, he is a repulsive 4-for-28 from the field and has only averaged 3.7 points in those contests. The 32-year-old sat out a game on December 1st with a sore back, […]
Malcolm Brogdon Plays Well In Bucks Victory
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon had 18 points to go along with two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers on 7-for-15 shooting from the field in Sunday's 104-99 road victory over the Toronto Raptors.
