OG Anunoby Could Return Soon

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) could make his return soon, potentially during the team's remaining road trip games. The 23-year-old, who has missed time due to a strain in his left calf, is averaging a career-high 14.6 points during the 2021 campaign. Upon returning to the lineup, Norman Powell will likely head back to […]

Jae Crowder Unlikely To Return For Sunday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Jae Crowder (foot) has been deemed doubtful to take the floor for Sunday's game versus the Celtics due to a sore right foot. Crowder has seen his minutes nosedive over his two most recent outings, in which he shot a combined 2-for-13 from the field. Frank Kaminsky appears to have usurped […]

Paul George Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard/small forward Paul George (toe) has been deemed unavailable for Sunday's game versus Sacramento, marking his second consecutive absence. Luke Kennard entered the starting five Friday in place of George, while the All-Star's offensive contributions were largely reallocated throughout the roster. Kawhi Leonard figures to continue benefiting from George's absence statistically, […]

Harrison Barnes Scores Team-High 28 Points

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes continued his good run of form with a team-high 28 points in Saturday's victory over Denver. He crushed it from downtown with a 5-for-7 effort and shot 10-for-16 overall from the field.

Jaylen Brown Remains Sidelined For Sunday’s Contest

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Suns due to a sore left knee. Grant Williams was elevated into the starting five Friday in Brown's absence and played a career-high 32 minutes, an indication of the role that he could play as long as Brown is […]

John Wall, David Nwaba Will Play In Saturday’s Contest

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (back) and shooting guard/small forward David Nwaba (ankle) have both been cleared to play in Saturday's game versus San Antonio, adding to the team's backcourt depth. Wall has seen his minutes total kept in check over the past two weeks as he deals with myriad ailments, whereas Nwaba has […]

Otto Porter Out Against Magic

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) won't play against the Magic on Saturday. The veteran has missed his previous two games due to spasms, and while he had a shot at playing against Orlando, he will sit out another one. In his place, look for Thaddeus Young and Denzel Valentine, who had 14 points and […]

De'Andre Hunter Ruled Out Saturday; Remains Without Timetable

Atlanta Hawks small/power forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus Toronto as he works his way back from what the team has called "articular wear and tear" in his right knee. Hunter's absence doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon, with the team expected to re-evaluate his status by […]

Larry Nance Jr. Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers small/power forward Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) has improved enough to be listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Bucks as he works his way back from a wrist sprain. Nance has missed each of the team's last three games due to the ailment, paving the way for Taurean Prince to see an […]

Kawhi Leonard Records Double-Double In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard poured in 28 points with 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season in Friday's loss to Boston. Leonard wasn't particularly efficient shooting the basketball- 0-for-5 from three- but he made up for it by knocking down 12 of his 14 attempts from the charity stripe. It's the […]

Saddiq Bey Scores 14 Points In Start

A late addition to the starting lineup due to injuries, Detroit Pistons guard/forward Saddiq Bey scored 14 points on 5-for-13 shooting in Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. In addition, he grabbed four rebounds and dished out two assists. Bey was 2-for-8 from three and also posted one steal and one block. He'll face the […]

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler scored 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting in Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He added in nine assists as well while not attempting any three-pointers.

Bojan Bogdanovic Finishes With 31 Points

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic recorded 31 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 37 minutes during Friday's win over Charlotte. The forward also went 7-for-10 from downtown.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Leads Win Over Cavs

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 33 points on 13-for-25 shooting in Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked four shots.

Rudy Gay Off Saturday's Injury Report

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (hip) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. Gay missed San Antonio's last game and has played under 20 minutes in three of his last four appearances, making it tough to usually trust him in DFS. But with Lonnie Walker IV (illness) already […]

Saddiq Bey Starting On Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey gets the start on Friday against the Phoenix Suns with Wayne Ellington (calf) ruled out. Bey hasn't been the most consistent player as a rookie, but he does have a double-double earlier in the season. He won't be a slam-dunk play in DFS, but if you're looking for a value […]

Abdel Nader Available Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Abdel Nader (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. With Jae Crowder (foot) out, Nader could see 20 minutes or so off the bench. He's not on the fantasy radar in season-long leagues, but there's some appeal as a super-cheap DFS punt play on the […]

Paul George Ruled Out For Friday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. With Patrick Beverley (knee) still out as well, the Clips will be a little undermanned against Boston. While Luke Kennard could see more minutes, the real fantasy winner of this is probably guard Reggie Jackson, who has […]

Kevin Durant Cleared To Play Friday

Updating a previous report, Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant has been cleared from the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and can play Friday against the Raptors. However, with the game already started, fantasy managers can't really do much about this, as Durant was either in your lineups or on your benches. Bruce Brown started […]

Kevin Durant Won't Start Due To Health and Safety Protocols

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will not start for the Nets on Friday against Toronto due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's unclear if Durant will play at all, as it appears the team is awaiting further updates to see if he's available. It's a really tough situation, as fantasy managers won't know […]

Derrick Rose Ruled Out, Wayne Ellington Unlikely To Play

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (rest) won't play on Friday against the Phoenix Suns, while guard/forward Wayne Ellington (calf) is unlikely to play. With Rose out, there a few options for players who might see more playing time, but the most likely two are Rodney McGruder and Saddiq Bey. Neither has been doing a ton […]

Jae Crowder Ruled Out Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (foot) will not play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Crowder was doubtful with foot soreness so this does not come as a surprise, but appears like a short-term injury. Head coach Monty Williams noted Crowder is more of a "day-to-day, game-to-game" type of situation right now. While Crowder is out […]

Ben Simmons Set For Return To Action Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/small forward Ben Simmons (calf) has been listed as probable to take the floor for Saturday's game against the Nets as he works through a tight left calf. Simmons was held out of the team's most recent matchup, allowing Furkan Korkmaz to enter the starting five, where he played 38 minutes and […]

Damian Lillard, Derrick Jones Jr. On Track To Return Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) and small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) are listed as probable to suit up for Saturday's game versus the Knicks. Lillard missed his first contest of the season Thursday due to an abdominal strain, allowing Gary Trent Jr. to start as the de facto PG. Without C.J. […]

Paul George Questionable Against Boston

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Paul George (foot) is questionable on Friday against Boston. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his right foot that appears to have stemmed from his 36-point performance against the Cavaliers on Wednesday night. George was a late addition to the injury report, so it wouldn't be a surprise if […]
