Cam Reddish Will Start on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (hip) is going to jump into the starting five for Thursday's season opener against the Detroit Pistons. Reddish will be limited to 25 minutes per game until he's back to full health. He looked decent in the preseason, but is only a deep league option to start the season in […]

Brandon Ingram Leads Pels In Scoring In Overtime Loss

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram led his team with 22 points in the loss to the Raptors on Tuesday. Ingram, who averaged 18.3 points in his final season as a Laker, played a healthy amount of minutes while throwing in some solid supporting stats (five boards, two blocks) on a night that saw coach […]

Kawhi Leonard Takes One Round In Los Angeles Rivalry

Kawhi Leonard got off to a great start in his Los Angeles Clippers debut, scoring 30 points on 10-for-19 shooting to help his new team defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. The reigning Finals MVP was also able to add six rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, one three-pointer and a nine of 10 success […]

Rodney McGruder Won't Play Against Lakers

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join teammate Paul George (shoulder) on the sideline for this one. Maurice Harkless and JaMychal Green will be asked to do more off the bench. Kawhi Leonard will carry the load on offense.

Cameron Johnson is Questionable for Opener

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Sacramento Kings. Johnson is dealing with a strained calf, but was able to get in some shooting after practice on Tuesday. The Suns may decide to be cautious here and let Johnson rest until he's 100 percent ready. Johnson […]

Kawhi Leonard Won't Be Restricted Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard won't have any minute restrictions for Tuesday's season opener against the Lakers. Head coach Doc Rivers downplayed the potential of load management this season. Paul George (shoulder) is expected to be sidelined until November, so Leonard will be asked to lead the team by himself to start the season. […]

Joe Johnson Waived by Pistons

Detroit Pistons forward Joe Johnson has been waived by the organization on Monday. Johnson won MVP in the Big3 league, but sadly age has caught up to him. He was experiencing some Achilles soreness during the preseason. Christian Wood outplayed Johnson and received the final roster spot. Maybe another organization gives Johnson a chance, but […]

Taurean Prince Agrees to Extension

Brooklyn Nets forward Taurean Prince has agreed to a contract extension with the organization on Monday. Prince has agreed to terms on a two-year $29 million extension with the Nets. He didn't pan out in Atlanta, but after a solid preseason, Prince has a chance to turn it around on his new organization. He'll be […]

De'Andre Hunter Will Start to Begin the Season

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter will start at small forward to begin the regular season. Head coach Lloyd Pierce confirmed this move after an impressive preseason from the rookie. He'll be joined by Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, John Collins, and Alex Len in the starting five. Hunter is worth grabbing in the last few rounds […]

Rodney McGruder is Unsure for Tuesday's Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is unsure if he'll be able to suit up for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It's unclear how much progress he's making, but the Clippers are likely to be cautious at the beginning of the season. Maurice Harkless […]

Furkan Korkmaz Gets the Start on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz will jump into the starting five for Friday's preseason game against the Washington Wizards. Ben Simmons (back) will sit out, so the backups will get some more run in this one. However, Josh Richardson is looking strong and healthy in a Sixers' uniform. He'll be worth drafting in the middle […]

Evan Turner Should Be Available on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Evan Turner (Achilles) is expected to play during Monday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He's been dealing with left Achilles pain that has cost him most of the preseason. Turner should see decent backup minutes at guard and forward this season off the bench. He'll be a better option in deep […]

Kevin Knox is Hopeful to Play Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (calf) is hopeful to suit up for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Knox tweaked his calf last week and was unable to play in Friday's game. He was able to get in a limited practice on Sunday, but we'll see how he progresses over the next few […]

Kevon Looney, Alec Burks Remain Out on Monday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) and guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) will both sit out of Monday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Both players still aren't practicing, which is a bit concerning with the regular season fast approaching. Looney has some upside in fantasy leagues, so he's worth looking at, but Burks […]

Landry Shamet Exits Early on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Landry Shamet (wrist) exited early during Sunday's preseason contest. Head coach Doc Rivers downplayed the injury after the game. Rivers said that if it was the playoffs then Shamet would be out there, but there is no reason to push it in the preseason. Shamet should be fine, and is someone […]

Rodney Hood Will Sit Out Against Suns

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with back spasms, so the team is likely just being cautious here. Hood will battle Kent Bazemore for playing time in Portland. He'll be worth a look in deeper leagues, but that's about […]

Paul George Could Miss First Ten Games

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) could be sidelined the first ten games of the regular season, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers have not given a definitive timetable, but this sounds about accurate. That would have George returning around the middle of November. He'll still have great fantasy value, despite being […]

Nicolas Batum Should Be Ready for Regular Season

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) suffered an injury on Wednesday and could be shut down for most of the preseason. He did some pre-game work on Friday, but continues to deal with the right Achilles issue. However, the Hornets are rebuilding, so a veteran like Batum doesn't have great value on that organization. He […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out for Preseason Game on Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Batum exited early on Wednesday because of right Achilles soreness. There is no reason to believe that this is going to be a lingering injury for Batum. However, he's a veteran player on a rebuilding Hornets team. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Should Suit Up on Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Both Mikal Bridges (knee) and Aron Baynes (nose) are expected to play in this matchup as well. Oubre has been dealing with right wrist tendinitis, but hopefully that isn't something that is going to linger. Oubre […]

Mikal Bridges is Expected to Suit Up on Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings. Bridges is dealing with a right patella bone bruise that has been lingering all camp. He should earn some regular minutes in the Suns young rotation this season. Bridges is worth grabbing in the last few rounds […]

Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles Out on Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (rest) and forward Joe Ingles (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gobert has not played in the preseason yet, but he doesn't really need to warm up. He played for France at the FIBA tournament and the Jazz aren't going to push him. […]

Kevin Knox Sits Out of Practice on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (calf) was not able to participate in Wednesday's practice. Knox suffered a strained right calf during Monday's preseason game. Head coach David Fizdale downplayed the injury, so hopefully it's nothing serious. Knox should hold some pretty solid fantasy value in most formats, assuming he gets regular minutes in the […]

Kawhi Leonard Might Not Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) might not suit up for Thursday's preseason contest, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It appears unlikely that Leonard is going to suit up at all this preseason. The Clippers want to be cautious with Leonard going into a huge season for the organization. There is going to […]

Michael Porter Jr. Expected to Debut on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) is expected to make his team debut in Tuesday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed all of last season due to a back injury. He hasn't played in a basketball game in 19 months, so expect the Nuggets to be careful here. Porter should have […]

Gordon Hayward Practiced on Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (elbow) was able to get through Tuesday's practice without any issues. He did wear a sleeve on his left elbow after bruising it during Sunday's preseason contest. The Celtics don't play again until Friday, but Hayward should be fine going forward. He may sit out on Friday, but that's probably […]

Kelly Oubre Unlikely to Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Oubre has been dealing with right wrist tendinitis and is doubtful to play on Tuesday, according to head coach Monty Williams. However, Oubre was spotted shooting after practice, but hasn't been cleared for full contact […]

Kyle Anderson Practices on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (thigh) was a full participant during Monday's practice. However, Anderson remains questionable for Tuesday's preseason contest versus New Zealand. He missed the first preseason game, but Anderson has gone through multiple full-contact practices now. He's someone worth looking at late in most drafts.

Otto Porter Won't Play After Halftime on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter will get the start in Monday's preseason contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bulls don't want to push Porter too much after he was sidelined late last season due to injuries. He'll play in the first half of this game, but will sit out after halftime. It doesn't appear Porter […]

Justin Anderson Joins the Starting Lineup on Monday

Washington Wizards forward Justin Anderson will get a chance with the starting lineup in Monday's preseason game versus the New York Knicks. He joined the team with a non-guaranteed deal, but has a chance to make the team. C.J. Miles (foot), Troy Brown Jr. (calf) and Admiral Schofield (hamstring) are all sidelined with injuries. Anderson […]
