Sekou Doumbouya Dealing With Minor Thumb Injury
Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya (thumb) is dealing with a minor thumb injury. It doesn't sound too serious, given that Doumbouya participated in Tuesday's practice for the Pistons. Still, it's something to monitor, as head coach Dwane Casey said the ailment forced him to keep the 20-year-old off the court during Sunday's game. Doumbouya has […]
Kawhi Leonard Has Efficient Offensive Performance Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points with seven boards, five assists, three triples, two blocks, and a steal in Monday's win over Atlanta.

Semi Ojeleye Draws Start For Monday’s Game
Boston Celtics small/power forward Semi Ojeleye will rejoin the starting lineup for Monday's contest against Memphis with Jayson Tatum (illness) out of the mix. Even though he finds himself back among the starting five, Ojeleye has scored in double figures just once in his last 28 games, a deterrent to those eyeing his DFS upside. […]
Stanley Johnson Draws Start For Monday’s Contest
Toronto Raptors small/power forward Stanley Johnson will rejoin the starting five for Monday's game against Houston in place of OG Anunoby (rest). Johnson's last two starting gigs saw him play just 14 minutes, so DFS managers may be best served playing it cautious with the athletic wing. The absence of Anunoby is most relevant to […]
Jayson Tatum Will Miss Monday’s Contest
Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness. With Tatum down, Jaylen Brown stands to see a significant offensive workload, while Semi Ojeleye should gain some added DFS appeal due to his low price tag. Tatum has been on an offensive tear […]

Sterling Brown Rejoins Starting Lineup Monday
Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Sterling Brown has catapulted back into the starting five for Monday's game against Toronto. Brown had been bounced back to the second unit over the past two contests, but the absence of Victor Oladipo (rest) on the second leg of a back-to-back paves the way for Brown to become a […]
OG Anunoby Will Miss Monday’s Contest
Toronto Raptors small/power forward OG Anunoby (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets as the team has opted for load management on the second leg of a back-to-back. Anunoby missed the squad's first six games of the month before returning for the two most recent outings, but he will still be […]
Garrett Temple Unlikely To Suit Up Monday
Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Garrett Temple (ankle) has earned a doubtful designation for Monday's contest against the Jazz due to a sprained left ankle. Temple has already missed the team's five previous outings due to the ailment, paving the way for Denzel Valentine to garner DFS and short-term streamer appeal in season-long formats. Temple […]
Kevin Love, Taurean Prince Remain Absent Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love (calf) and small/power forward Taurean Prince (shoulder) will be unavailable for Monday's contest against the Kings.

Ben Simmons Playing On Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will play Sunday against the New York Knicks. Simmons sat out Saturday's game with a sore knee despite being listed as probable to play. This could have been more of a cautionary rest day as the Sixers are finishing up their back-to-back set and Simmons is good to go […]
Miles Bridges Drains Season-High Five Triples
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges had his best effort from three-point range this season in a loss to the Clippers on Saturday. Bridges drained a season-high five triples for 15 of his 21 points off the bench, adding four assists, three rebounds, and a block in 28 minutes. It was a refreshing performance, as the […]
Kawhi Leonard Records Four Steals In Win Over Hornets

Dorian Finney-Smith Expected To Play Sunday
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) is expected to play on Sunday against the Trail Blazers. Finney-Smith missed the last two games so he could be there for the birth of his child. Finney-Smith's return could push Tim Hardaway Jr. back to the bench, though fantasy managers can keep rolling the latter out there, as […]
