Lauri Markkanen Not Available For Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This is not surprising considering Markkanen recently suffered a right ankle sprain. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so hopefully he won't miss too much time. Kevin Love and Cedi Osman are likely going to be asked […]
Danilo Gallinari, Kevin Huerter Available On Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) and guard Kevin Huerter (hip) are available for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gallinari will return after a one game absence and has been playing well lately. In fact, he's coming off four straight double-digit scoring games. That'll make him an interesting fantasy option for Sunday's slate. Bogdan […]
Nassir Little Active Against Raptors
Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (knee) will be active for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He injured his knee last Wednesday and struggled during Friday's game. However, Little is feeling good enough to play here and should get significant minutes. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about Little. He should get at least […]
Gordon Hayward Downgraded To Doubtful
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played 30 minutes on Friday and didn't seem bothered by the foot issue. However, it appears the Hornets are going to take the cautious approach here. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cody Martin are expected to gain […]

Nesmith continues to battle […]
Norman Powell Will Miss Friday’s Game
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. Boston due to personal reasons. Powell will miss his seventh game in a row, allowing Nassir Little to remain among the starting five, where he has emerged as a consistent DFS target. Without Powell's 18.6 points per game available, […]
Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball Will Miss Next Four Games
Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Zach LaVine (knee) and point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) have been ruled out for the team's upcoming four-contest stretch due to respective knee ailments.

Rudy Gay Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest
Utah Jazz small/power forward Rudy Gay (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right heel soreness.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Gets Green Light To Play Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's contest vs. Boston, stemming his absence under the league's health and safety protocols at four games.

Norman Powell Remains Unavailable For Wednesday’s Game
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Miami due to personal reasons, marking his sixth consecutive absence.

Marcus Smart, Aaron Nesmith Questionable To Play Wednesday
Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart and small forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Hornets. Smart has missed the past four outings under the league's health and safety protocols, but he could be ready for a return to game action, which would strengthen Boston's backcourt. Getting […]
Desmond Bane, Kyle Anderson Land In COVID-19 Protocols
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Desmond Bane and small/power forward Kyle Anderson have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely.

Scottie Barnes Removed From Injury Report
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat.

Norman Powell Not Available Monday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has cleared from the league's health and safety protocols. However, Powell needs to regain his conditioning, so he'll sit out at least one more game. That means that Ben McLemore and Nassir Little should carry plenty of […]
Cam Reddish Out Against Charlotte
New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (ankle) won't play on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 22-year-old has yet to make an appearance for his new team after being acquired from the Atlanta Hawks during the week. Additionally, head coach Tom Thibodeau recently indicated that Reddish might be out for "a while" as he continues […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Out For Monday

However, in the meantime, Cody Martin could […]
Kevin Durant Out At Least A Month
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) will miss at least a month. The former MVP sustained a sprained left MCL during Saturday's win over New Orleans, and he will now be on the shelf for four-to-six weeks. The 33-year-old has played well this year, averaging 29.3 points, 7.4 boards, and 5.8 assists. However, his workload […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play Against Knicks
Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. This is not a good sign with the Hawks already shorthanded for Saturday's game. Kevin Huerter, Danilo Gallinari (Achilles), and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will all see increased roles with Bogdanovic out. Gallinari is a little banged up, but […]
Matisse Thybulle, Danny Green Ruled Out Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) and forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat.

Clearly, Barnes isn't over his […]
Isaac Okoro To Return On Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (elbow) will make his return to the court on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. He was expected to miss 2-3 weeks of action, but easily beat that timetable. The Cavs could certainly use his help with the roster being banged up with injuries. However, the Cavs are likely to […]
Scottie Barnes Available For Friday
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is back in the lineup after sitting out due to right knee soreness. His return will push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Chris Boucher likely won't play as many minutes anymore. That's a shame because Boucher was […]
Jimmy Butler Is Available Against Hawks
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He makes his return to the court after missing each of the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. It's assumed that Butler will play his normal amount of minutes here. That being said, Caleb […]
Phoenix Tags Cameron Johnson As Questionable For Friday
Phoenix Suns small/power forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's game vs. Indiana due to a sprained left ankle. The ailment caused Johnson to miss Tuesday's outing, his first absence of the year. Without him in the mix, Jae Crowder played a larger offensive role, although no member of […]
Doug McDermott Will Return To Action For Friday’s Game
San Antonio Spurs small forward Doug McDermott has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and will suit up for Friday's contest against Cleveland. McDermott missed seven games under the protocols, with his return likely to bump Keita Bates-Diop to the second unit, thereby zapping him of DFS appeal. McDermott enjoyed solid production during December, […]
Jimmy Butler Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Game
Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Philadelphia due to a sprained right ankle.

Joe Ingles Available Against Cavaliers
Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles is available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran forward has been building up his conditioning, but he appears ready to play on Wednesday.
