Gary Trent Jr. Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Toronto Raptors forward Gary Trent Jr. has entered the league's health and safety protocols. He'll join Delano Barton and Pascal Siakam in the protocols for Toronto. It's uncertain how long Trent will be gone, but he is likely to miss a few games. In the meantime, Svi Mykhailiuk could get some spot starts. Also, Yuta […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Unlikely To Play Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The organization hasn't given details on the severity, but fantasy managers should expect Jones to miss time. This is a shame considering how shorthanded the Bulls are at the moment. Possibly, Alfonzo McKinnie is asked to step […]

Doug McDermott Probable To Play On Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (mouth) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed Sunday's game due to a tooth infection, but it sounds like he'll return here. Devin Vassell is expected to head back to the bench, assuming McDermott does return on Monday. There hasn't been much […]

Gordon Hayward Tagged As Doubtful For Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been struggling over the last two games, but the back discomfort likely has something to do with it. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Hornets take the cautious approach. Kelly Oubre Jr. […]

Furkan Korkmaz Remains Unavailable For Monday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Furkan Korkmaz (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Celtics due to an illness, the third straight outing that he will miss. Korkmaz has carved out a role in the Sixers' rotation primarily due to his long range marksmanship, but he has been uncharacteristically cold from behind […]

Tyrese Maxey, Danny Green Questionable To Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (quad) and small forward Danny Green (hip) have been designated as questionable to suit up for Monday's contest against the Celtics. Maxey missed the team's most recent outing due to a left quad contusion, allowing Shake Milton to slot in at the starting PG spot; Green played a season-high […]

Miles Bridges Leads All Scorers With 26 Points

Charlotte Hornets small forward Miles Bridges was the top scorer in Sunday's blowout loss to the Suns, shooting 10-for-16 from the field during a 26-point effort.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan returned to the court on Sunday after being stuck in health and safety protocols for a couple of weeks and put together a superb performance against the Lakers, matching his season high with 38 points in a 115-110 win. He shot 11-for-24 from the field and 16-for-17 at the foul […]

He hit half of his six attempts from deep and went 9-for-10 at the line while picking up four rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes. Bey is […]

Cody Martin Out On Sunday Because Of Health Protocols

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin will miss Sunday's game against Phoenix because of health and safety protocols. The Hornets just got their band back together but lose a pretty big piece in Martin, who's chipped in nicely at both ends of the floor. Martin's unavailability should boost Kelly Oubre Jr.'s playing time, although he has […]

LeBron James Considered Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (abdomen) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls. The Lakers have just lost Anthony Davis (knee) for multiple weeks, and things could get really rough if the King is forced to watch things from the sidelines, but we can fully expect to see him trying to […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Available Again On Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Derrick Jones Jr. is ready for action again on Sunday against the Lakers. DeMar DeRozan, Javonte Green and Coby White were available on Saturday as the team gets ready to continue the season after having a couple of games postponed. Jones had a pair of good outings before entering the league's COVID-19 health […]

Josh Okogie Unavailable For Sunday's Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Josh Okogie has entered the league's health and safety protocols and won't be available on Sunday against Dallas. He joins Anthony Edwards and Taurean Prince as the third Minnesota player in the protocols. Okogie has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball all year, but he did manage to log some extra minutes […]

Josh Green Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green joined Reggie Bullock in the health and safety protocols on Sunday, making him unavailable for a visit to Minnesota. Bullock was ruled on Saturday and there is a fair share of extra minutes to be handed out now. Frank Ntilikina (illness) is out as well. Bullock has recorded nine consecutive […]

Sterling Brown Probable For Sunday's Matchup

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Sterling Brown (foot) is considered probable for Sunday's clash with the Timberwolves. He's been out for six games with left foot soreness but looks ready to return now. The 26-year-old hasn't done a lot this season, getting only three points and three rebounds per game, but the Mavericks are currently rolling with […]

Doug McDermott Out With A Tooth Infection

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott won't be able to help his side on Sunday against Sacramento, sitting out the game with a tooth infection. McDermott's season hasn't gone too well, but he's one of the best shooters on the squad and San Antonio will definitely be less of a threat from downtown without him. […]

Darius Bazley, Aaron Wiggins Have Uncertain Roles

Oklahoma City Thunder forwards Darius Bazley and Aaron Wiggins are not locked into the starting five, according to head coach Mark Daigneault. It sounds like the Thunder want to continue taking things game-by-game. They've considered both big and small lineups, but it doesn't seem like they plan on sticking with one. That being said, Bazley […]

Deni Avdija Has Impressed Wizards

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija could be looking at an increased role in the rotation. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. mentioned that he believes in Avdija defensively and wants him to be on the floor. Avdija is averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals over his last three games. It's a small […]

Scottie Barnes Scores Well Again Versus Warriors

Toronto Raptors small forward Scottie Barnes produced a second consecutive good shooting performance in Saturday's win over Golden State, hitting 8-for-12 from the field to finish with 21 points. He capped off his line with eight rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes. Barnes has put together an outstanding rookie campaign and looks like a […]

Evan Fournier Shines Against Boston Again

New York Knicks guard/forward Evan Fournier led all scorers and matched his season high with 32 points in Saturday's loss to Boston. His previous 32-point effort also came against the Celtics in the season opener. The Frenchman shot 13-for-24 from the field and hit four of his 10 triples. He pulled down five rebounds and […]

Thanasis Antetokounmpo Available For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is good news with the Bucks down a handful of players due to safety protocols. Antetokounmpo was listed as doubtful previously, but appears healthy enough to play on Saturday. That being said, Antetokounmpo and Semi Ojeleye should both find […]

Rodney Hood Won't Play On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is not shocking given the fact it's a back-to-back set. The Bucks elect to rest their veteran forward coming off a major injury. That being said, Jordan Nwora and Pat Connaughton stand the gain the most fantasy […]

Paul George Continues Sitting Out

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is not surprising as George will miss his fifth straight game due to this elbow issue. Justise Winslow should move into the starting five in the absence of George. Also, Nicolas Batum (ankle) will be […]

Saddiq Bey Scores Game-High 23 Points

Detroit Pistons small forward Saddiq Bey produced a very good showing against the Rockets on Saturday, leading all scorers with 23 points and adding four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.

Kevin Durant Placed In Health And Safety Protocols

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) was already ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against Orlando. However, the former MVP was placed in health and safety protocols, so he is now in line to miss more time. This is both a blessing and a curse for fantasy managers, mainly since he has played so well […]
