Jaylen Brown Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) will not take the floor for Friday's contest against the Clippers, marking his first absence of the year. With Brown's consistent availability, it'll be difficult to ascertain who will be in line to see an increased role on the wing, although Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker should undoubtedly […]

Jae'Sean Tate With Efficient 19 Points

Houston Rockets forward Jae'sean Tate scored 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting in Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. In addition, he grabbed seven rebounds and dished out two assists.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James was locked in during Thursday night's win over the Nuggets. James scored 27 points with 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two treys, and a block in 35 minutes.

Jae Crowder Now Doubtful For Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (foot) is dealing with foot soreness and is doubtful to play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Crowder has played 28 minutes combined over his past two games and even had X-rays done on his foot, but thankfully those came back negative. Crowder's minutes will likely go to Cameron Johnson, who […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable Friday Against Clippers

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable to play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Brown had 21 points in 34 minutes on Wednesday, but came up limping on a transition play and is being listed with knee soreness. The Celtics will need Brown if they are going to match up with Kawhi Leonard […]

David Nwaba Will Miss Third Straight Game Thursday

Houston Rockets guard David Nwaba (ankle) remains sidelined Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Nwaba had "a small chance) to play in this one, but will miss his third straight game with an ankle sprain. Jae'sean Tate has been starting but offers very little upside. Instead, Eric Gordon and Danuel House will continue to see wing […]

Ben Simmons Ruled Out Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (calf) will not play Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Simmons apparently had his calf tighten up Wednesday night and is not healthy enough to go in the back-to-back set. Head coach Doc Rivers did not name a replacement starter, but did mention he was leaning towards Tyrese Maxey. Shake […]

OG Anunoby Out Friday Against Nets

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Expected to miss a week, Anunoby should be nearing a return, but it won't be just yet. Expect to see more from Normal Powell, who should be able to feast against a struggling Nets defense. He seems […]

David Nwaba Has A Chance To Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard/forward David Nwaba (ankle) is expected to go through warm-ups before Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, with head coach Stephen Silas saying Nwaba has a "small chance" to play. Not the most encouraging statement, so it might be best to keep him out of your DFS lineups for one more game just to […]

Otto Porter Ruled Out For Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) won't play against the Orlando Magic on Friday in the first half of a back-to-back due to back spasms. Porter missed Wednesday's meeting with the Knicks and looked clearly hampered the last time he was on the court, so some extra time to rest up seems like a good thing […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Ruled Out For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) won't play Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. With guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) also out, the Trail Blazers could be in a bit of a rough spot Thursday night. Expect to see an increase in work for Rodney Hood and Carmelo Anthony, who both become intriguing DFS plays. […]

Brandon Ingram Goes For 23 Points Against Suns

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram had a strong game in the team's 123-101 win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. Ingram shot 7-for-17 from the field and a perfect 7-for-7 from the line on the way to 23 points, six assists, four rebounds and two blocks. He connected on two of his […]

Kenrich Williams With Big Game Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams scored 19 points on 7-for-8 shooting in Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. In addition, he grabbed six rebounds and dished out two assists. Williams was 3-for-3 from three. This uptick in production and minutes was largely due to Luguentz Dort exiting with a knee injury. Williams could be […]

Luguentz Dort Heads To Locker Room Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort has gone back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. There's been no word yet about what the potential injury is, but if Dort misses time, the Thunder will have to look to replace his 28.8 minutes per game with someone like Kenrich Williams or […]

Abdel Nader Available Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Abdel Nader (ankle) is listed as available to play on Wednesday against the Pelicans. Nader missed the last game but has posted solid numbers in seven games this season. He's averaging 8.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 43.8 percent from deep. Nader has some appeal as a DFS value […]

Nassir Little Will Miss Thursday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Nassir Little (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to a sprained left knee. The injury comes at a particularly inopportune time for Little, who dropped a career-high 30 points versus Milwaukee on Monday. With Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) sidelined, Little had a chance to […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's contest versus Philadelphia due to a sprained left foot.

Washington Plans To Insert Troy Brown Into Rotation Wednesday

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Troy Brown is expected to "get some opportunities" during Wednesday's game versus Miami with Russell Westbrook (rest) and Raul Neto (groin) unavailable.

David Nwaba Misses Second Straight Game Wednesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward David Nwaba (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Oklahoma City due to an ankle injury.

Kawhi Leonard Playing Second Half Of Back-To-Back Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Eric Gordon Rejoins Starting Lineup Wednesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon has been bumped up to the starting five for Wednesday's contest against the Thunder without John Wall (Achilles) in the mix. Gordon dropped 25 points on OKC in just 22 minutes Monday, an indication of the upside that he carries due to his long-range marksmanship. Even as his […]

Miles Bridges Enters Starting Five Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Miles Bridges will make his first start of the season Wednesday against the 76ers in place of P.J. Washington (foot). Bridges has taken on a decreased role this year in his shift to the second unit, but earning a starter's workload should garner him considerable DFS intrigue. Having scored in double […]

Otto Porter Out Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) will not play on Wednesday against the Knicks. The veteran was initially labeled as probable earlier in the day but was downgraded to out as he continues to deal with back spasms. In his place, rookie Patrick Williams may see a slight bump in production against New York. However, due […]

Otto Porter Downgraded To Questionable

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He has been dealing with a nagging back issue and only played 18 minutes on Monday. It's a frustrating time to have Porter on your roster right now. He shows flashes of decent fantasy production, but […]
