Thaddeus Young Lands With Raptors At Trade Deadline
San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Thaddeus Young has reportedly been dealt to the Toronto Raptors during Thursday's trade deadline, giving him an opportunity to crack a rotation with regularity. Young played a career-low 14.2 minutes across 26 outings (one start) for the Spurs this year, averaging 6.1 points, 3.6 boards and 2.3 assists per game. […]
Eric Gordon Will Miss Thursday’s Contest
Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Toronto due to a sore left heel. There was much speculation around Gordon's status leading into the Trade Deadline, but it appears that he will remain with the Rockets for the time being. Enjoying something of a career renaissance this […]
Otto Porter Jr., Andre Iguodala Will Miss Thursday’s Contest
Golden State Warriors small forwards Otto Porter Jr. (rest) and Andre Iguodala (back) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks. Porter is being given the night off on the second leg of a back-to-back, despite having played just 15 minutes in each of his last two appearances. Iguodala has played just six […]
RJ Barrett Will Miss Thursday’s Contest
New York Knicks small forward RJ Barrett (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to a sprained left ankle. Quentin Grimes jumps off the page as an upside DFS play due to Barrett's absence, although Evan Fournier, Alec Burks, and others stand to see elevated offensive duties as well. Barrett […]
Josh Richardson Heading To San Antonio
Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson has been traded to the San Antonio Spurs. They will also receive guard Romeo Langford and a first-round draft pick in exchange for guard Derrick White. Clearly, the Spurs decided that Dejounte Murray and White weren't the best long term solution. San Antonio has a bunch of young guards such […]
Rodney Hood, Semi Ojeleye Moved To Clippers
Milwaukee Bucks forwards Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye have been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. This is part of a four-team trade that also sent veteran center Serge Ibaka to Milwaukee. The Clippers don't gain too much from this deal, but open up more playing time for Isaiah Hartenstein. Ojeleye is a defensive minded […]
LeBron James Cleared Versus Blazers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It is the second game of a back-to-back set, so possibly the Lakers monitor James in this game. Although, the absence of Russell Westbrook (back) will likely mean James will have to do more on […]
Andre Iguodala Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (back) won't be suiting up for the team's matchup against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Iguodala is dealing with lower back tightness. The 38-year-old recently missed about two weeks of action with a hip injury. He made his return this past Monday, but only played six minutes in the […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have announced via their team Twitter account that newly-acquired guard C.J. McCollum and guard/forward Tony Snell will make their debuts with the team on Thursday, when the Pelicans face the Miami Heat.

Caris LeVert To Make His Cavaliers Debut Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert, acquired in a trade with the Indiana Pacers this past weekend, will make his debut with the team in Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. LeVert will be coming off the bench for the game. It's unclear whether the team plans to keep him in a bench role or […]
Justise Winslow Moves Into Starting Five
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Blazers are extremely shorthanded due to recent trades. Anfernee Simons, Ben McLemore, C.J. Elleby and Jusuf Nurkic will join Winslow in the starting five for this game. Normally, Winslow isn't much of a fantasy option, […]
Gordon Hayward Is Out Indefinitely
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is looking at missing an extended amount of time. This is a tough blow to both Hayward and the Hornets roster. It doesn't seem like Hayward can catch a break after recently returning from COVID-19 protocols. The Hornets didn't offer a timetable for Hayward, so fantasy managers can expect […]
Matisse Thybulle Returns To The Starting Five
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for the team's matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Thybulle missed two straight games due to right shoulder soreness. With his return, Furkan Korkmaz and Isaiah Joe are likely to see their minutes decreased. Thybulle has been a menace on […]
Gordon Hayward Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 12-year veteran sprained his left ankle in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He didn't return to the game after the injury, so it's no surprise that the team is holding him […]
Domantas Sabonis Heading To Sacramento
The Indiana Pacers have agreed on a deal that will send star power forward Domantas Sabonis to the Sacramento Kings. Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday are heading to Sacramento while Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson are being traded to Indiana.

Pelicans Acquire C.J. McCollum In Seven-Player Trade
The New Orleans Pelicans and Portland Trail Blazers completed a trade on Tuesday that will send C.J. McCollum, Larry Nance Jr. and Tony Snell to New Orleans. In exchange, the Trail Blazers will receive Josh Hart, Tomas Satoransky, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Didi Louzada, a protected 2022 first round pick and two second round picks. Expect to […]
Terry Taylor Questionable For Tuesday
Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Terry Taylor (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is dealing with a non-COVID illness. The undrafted rookie emerged into fantasy relevance when he kicked off the month of February with a pair of monster double-doubles. He went for 24 and 16 against the Orlando Magic […]
Matisse Thybulle Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The defensive specialist is dealing with right shoulder soreness.

Gordon Hayward Won't Return To Monday's Game
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran suffered a left ankle injury in the first quarter of the game when he took an awkward fall. He walked off the court on his own, but was in noticeable pain. Prior […]
Otto Porter Jr., Andre Iguodala Will Return For Monday’s Game
Golden State Warriors small forwards Otto Porter Jr. (back) and Andre Iguodala (hip) have been given the green light to suit up for Monday's contest against Oklahoma City. Porter's return after a three-game absence will also see him return to the starting five, bumping Moses Moody back to the second unit. Prior to going down, […]
LeBron James Earns Probable Tag For Tuesday’s Game
Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (knee) has been deemed probable to play in Tuesday's contest vs. the Bucks after making a somewhat surprising return to action Saturday. James, who missed five games with a knee ailment, was able to log a triple-double across 40 minutes in his return to action, so it's […]
Jimmy Butler, Max Strus Set To Suit Up Monday
Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (toe) and shooting guard/small forward Max Strus (quad) are on track to play in Monday's game against Washington. Butler has been the engine that makes Miami go this year, averaging 21.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists, in addition to adding 1.8 steals per game. Strus returns from a […]
Max Strus Tagged As Questionable For Monday
Miami Heat forward Max Strus (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed Saturday's game and could very well sit out another contest due to a right quad contusion. Tyler Herro (knee) and Gabe Vincent would be the two players that would benefit the most, assuming Strus sits out. […]
Jimmy Butler Could Sit Against Wizards
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was tagged as questionable for Saturday's contest and ended up playing 29 minutes in that game. His absence would open up playing time for Tyler Herro (knee), Gabe Vincent, and possibly Max Strus (quad) as well. It's […]
Lauri Markkanen To Miss Another Game On Sunday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) won't play against the Indiana Pacers. Markkanen has missed his previous six games because of a sprained right ankle. His next chance to return will come on Wednesday versus San Antion, and with Darius Garland (back) also out, Evan Mobley, Kevin Love, and Jarrett Allen are the favorites to […]
Furkan Korkmaz Won't Play Against Short-Handed Bulls
Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus Chicago. Korkmaz will now miss his fourth straight game as he continues to be sidelined by a sore left knee. Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) remains questionable, but if he can't go either, Danny Green and Isaiah Joe should see a hearty increase in playing […]
Furkan Korkmaz Questionable Ahead Of Meeting With Chicago
Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's showdown with the Bulls. Korkmaz has missed his previous three games because of left knee soreness. Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is also questionable, so if neither man can give it a go against Chicago, Danny Green will surely see an uptick in playing time (and […]
Kawhi Leonard Not Expected Back This Season
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) may not play this season, according to head coach Ty Lue. "We know Kawhi is probably not going to come back," Lue said during a recent interview, although certainly, there remains a chance he could make it back, primarily if L.A. can advance deep into the playoffs. However, […]
Luguentz Dort Will Miss Saturday’s Contest
Oklahoma City Thunder small/power forward Luguentz Dort (face) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings due to a facial contusion.

Caleb Martin Receives Green Light For Saturday’s Game
Miami Heat small forward Caleb Martin (Achilles) has been cleared to suit up for Saturday's contest vs. the Hornets after a one-game absence due to a sore left Achilles.
