Danilo Gallinari Will Play Against Miami
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (forearm) will play on Sunday against Miami. The veteran hasn't missed any time due to spasms in his right forearm and should benefit with Cam Reddish (Achilles) in line to miss his fourth-straight. Fantasy managers should keep Gallinari on the radar, especially in DFS contests, as the upside is certainly […]
Jimmy Butler Could Miss Sunday’s Contest
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) may not suit up on Sunday night against the Hawks. Butler logged 34 minutes against the Utah Jazz on Friday night and wasn't listed on Saturday's injury report. However, the inflammation in his right knee is apparently bad enough to hold him out potentially. If Butler is absent, Bam […]
Gordon Hayward Downgraded Against Sacramento
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been downgraded to doubtful leading up to Sunday's outing against the Sacramento Kings. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious, it wouldn't be a surprise if the veteran's absence extends beyond the upcoming All-Star break. In his place, look for Malik Monk, who had 25 points off […]
Doug McDermott Leading Pacers Scorer Saturday
Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott scored a team-high 20 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Saturday's loss to the New York Knicks. He also added five rebounds and was 2-for-3 from deep. With the Sixers up next on Monday for Indiana -- a team that allows the 12th-most points per game to opposing teams -- there's […]
Joe Ingles Hands Out Seven Assists In Win Over Orlando
Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles got the start on Saturday with the team electing to rest Mike Conley (hamstring) and made the most of his 31 minutes on the court.

Gordon Hayward Probable, Cody Zeller Questionable For Sunday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been listed as probable, while center Cody Zeller (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Cedi Osman Ruled Out Against Sixers
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is out for Saturday's contest with the 76ers. This was expected, as things weren't looking so good for his status as of Friday. Forward Dean Wade, guard Dylan Windler, and forward Lamar Stevens could all see more minutes. Windler went 4-for-4 from beyond the arc in Wednesday's game and […]
Cam Reddish Doubtful Against Miami
Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Miami. Reddish has missed the last three games with Achilles soreness- and is probably not going to suit up with the All-Star break right around the corner. Tony Snell, who has started in Reddish's absence, has made at least three triples in three […]
Davis Bertans To Be Available Against Timberwolves
Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) will make his return to the court after missing Thursday's game due to right knee soreness. Bertans is averaging 11.0 points per game while draining 2.8 treys a night, though he's played less than 30 minutes in each of his last two games. The team could ease him back […]
DeMar DeRozan Available On Saturday
San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan is available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed each of the last two games, but is not expected to be limited at all. His return will move Lonnie Walker IV to the bench, which means he can be dropped in most formats. DeRozan should resume […]
Cedi Osman Could Miss Saturday's Game
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavs could be shorthanded for this one with Taurean Prince (personal) already ruled out. Dean Wade could be asked to play heavy minutes, assuming Osman sits out. He has been knocking down everything from beyond the arc […]

Jimmy Butler Drops Season-High 33 Points
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler came up in the clutch for his team in their 124-116 win over the Jazz. Butler sliced to the rim with under a minute left in the game and got his floater to roll into the bucket for two of his season-high 33, effectively sealing the win. The 31-year-old added […]
Jerami Grant Returns On Friday Night
Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant will play on Friday night against Sacramento. The 26-year-old was held out of Wednesday's contest against New Orleans to rest but is ready to go in a favorable matchup against the Kings. He should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats and a viable option in DFS contests.
Tobias Harris Ruled Out On Saturday Night
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran suffered a right knee contusion during Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. While the MRI came back with positive results, the injury may keep him on the shelf for more than one game. In his […]
Taurean Prince Out Against Philly
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (personal) will not play on Saturday against the 76ers. The 26-year-old just returned from a four-game absence a few nights ago against the Houston Rockets but will once again miss another one. Dean Wade may be the likely candidate to slide back into the starting lineup, with the former Kansas […]
Otto Porter Out Beyond All-Star Break
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) will not play until after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The veteran has progressed in the right direction since missing time due to back spasms. The 27-year-old is averaging 11.6 points and 6.3 boards across 23.2 minutes during the 2021 campaign. Fantasy managers in deeper […]
Cam Reddish Downgraded To Out Against Thunder
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) will not play Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will make the third straight absence for Reddish with Achilles soreness, an ailment which caused him to miss games earlier in the season as well. Achilles injuries can be serious so the Hawks will likely exercise cautious without rushing […]
Hamidou Diallo Out Friday Against Hawks
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Hamidou Diallo (groin) will miss Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Diallo suffered a groin injury on Wednesday and did not return so he may be in for a multi-game absence. This is unfortunate given how well Diallo was playing, but with his injury the Thunder have called up Ty Jerome […]
DeMar DeRozan Might Play Against Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) is questionable to play Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. DeRozan has been away from the team due to a family emergency, but he could play on Saturday after a one-game absence due to game postponements. If DeRozan is able to play, Luka Samanic or Lonnie Walker IV […]
LeBron James Once Again Probable
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) is probable on Friday night against Portland. This isn't a surprise, as the veteran has been listed on the injury report for several weeks with a left ankle sprain. With Anthony Davis (Achilles) out of the equation, the former MVP should be on the radar more than ever […]
Kevin Durant Out Until After All-Star Break
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will be out until after the All-Star break. The veteran has been dealing with a strain as of late, with the ailment causing him to miss the team's previous six contests.

Pascal Siakam Out Against Houston
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam will not play on Friday night against Houston due to the league's health and safety protocols. At this point, he should be considered day-to-day, as it is unknown whether or not he tested positive for COVID-19. With Siakam out of the equation, look for Chris Boucher to be the primary beneficiary. […]
Cam Reddish Might Sit Out On Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed each of the last two games, which has resulted in more playing time for Kevin Huerter and Tony Snell. It appears Reddish is getting closer to returning, but the team might play it safe […]
Saddiq Bey Questionable For Friday
Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's contest, but was able to play through the pain. The team might wait until pregame to see how Bey feels before making a final decision. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Josh Jackson, and Sekou Doumbouya […]
