Will Barton Out Again On Monday Night
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) won't play on Monday night against Memphis. The veteran is dealing with a strained right hamstring and could miss even more time moving ahead. With the team also down Monte Morris (hamstring), and of course, Jamal Murray (knee), the team will look to Facundo Campazzo and P.J. Dozier to step […]
Rodney Hood Expected To Play Against Cleveland
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Rodney Hood (knee) is listed as probable ahead of the matchup against the Cavaliers. The veteran has sat out the team's previous two contests against the Nets and Knicks while dealing with Tendinitis in his right knee. However, unless someone notable pops up on the injury report during the day, his presence […]
Furkan Korkmaz May Miss Another Contest
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) may not be available on Monday night against Oklahoma City.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant finished with 33 points, six rebounds, four assists, one block, and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's win over the Suns.

James Ennis III May Be In The Lineup On Sunday
Orlando Magic forward James Ennis III (calf) may play on Sunday against the Pacers. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his right calf, an injury that has caused him to miss his previous three games. If he does return against Indiana, he will be battling for minutes with R.J. Hampton and Gary Harris.
James Ennis Could Sit Out Sunday
Orlando Magic forward James Ennis III (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. RJ Hampton and Gary Harris have been playing more minutes with Ennis banged up lately. However, neither of them have been consistent fantasy contributors lately. Honestly, Terrence Ross (back) is about the only reliable fantasy option in […]
Josh Richardson Out Versus Lakers
Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team is calling it hamstring tightness, so hopefully it's a day-to-day type of issue. In the meantime, J.J. Redick and Jalen Brunson will be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Neither of them are […]
DeMar DeRozan Available Saturday
San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. There was some doubt that DeRozan would suit up here, but it appears he is healthy enough to play. Lonnie Walker IV will lose most of his streaming appeal with DeRozan actually suiting up. DeRozan […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Might Play Against Mavericks
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has been battling a sprained ankle, but it sounds like he'll wait and see how he feels during pregame shootaround. Talen Horton-Tucker could be asked to move into the starting five, which could make […]
Doug McDermott Available Against Pistons
Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's uncertain whether or not McDermott will start or come off the bench with the second unit. Nonetheless, McDermott should see plenty of playing time with the Pacers banged up. He normally isn't a favorable fantasy option, but could have […]
Michael Porter Jr. Scores Team-High 26 Points
Denver Nuggets small forward Michael Porter Jr. led the team with 26 points in Friday's 118-97 loss to Golden State, shooting 8-for-18 from the field and 7-for-14 from downtown.

DeMar DeRozan Could Sit On Saturday
San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Thursday's game for rest purposes. It's quite odd that somehow DeRozan injured his quad by sitting out. Regardless, Derrick White, Devin Vassell, and Lonnie Walker IV will see a boost, assuming DeRozan […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Could Miss Saturday's Game
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He tweaked his ankle during Thursday's game, so there is some concern that it'll swell up overnight. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until shootaround on Saturday before getting more information. Talen Horton-Tucker could be asked […]
Romeo Langford Draws Second Straight Start Friday
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Romeo Langford finds himself among the starting five for the second consecutive contest Friday with Jaylen Brown (shoulder) still out of the mix.

Danilo Gallinari Returns For Friday’s Contest
Atlanta Hawks small/power forward Danilo Gallinari (foot) has been cleared to suit up Friday against the Heat, stemming his absence due to a foot ailment at six games.

Kent Bazemore Enters Health And Safety Protocols
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Kent Bazemore (health and safety protocols) will be out for the next 10-14 days after entering the league's protocols.

Joel Embiid And Furkan Korkmaz Questionable Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (shoulder) and guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) are both questionable to play Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Embiid is being listed with a shoulder injury which is better news considering it is not his knee, however his availability remains in jeopardy. Korkmaz missed Thursday's game due to the ankle sprain and […]
Tyler Herro Playing Friday Against Hawks
Miami Heat guard/forward Tyler Herro (foot) will play Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Herro was in a mini-slump before going off for 22 points on Wednesday while dealing with a sore foot.

Danilo Gallinari Is Questionable Against Miami
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (foot) is questionable to play Friday against the Miami Heat. Gallinari has sat out the past week, but may make a return after dealing with foot soreness. If that's the case, Kevin Huerter and Solomon Hill should see reduced minutes. Regardless, Gallinari has had foot issues all season so the […]
Kevin Durant Will Continue To Sit Friday
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) has been ruled out Friday against the Boston Celtics. Durant is dealing with a thigh contusion and there was some hope Durant would play after receiving a questionable tag. However, Durant's status was confirmed a few hours before tip-off so he seems to be closer to a doubtful tag. […]
