Otto Porter Remains Sidelined Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bulls have not ruled out Porter for the season, but it's safe to assume he won't play again this season. Walter Lemon Jr. has filled in nicely lately, so he's worth looking at as a cheap DFS […]
Jimmy Butler is Questionable for Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He did not play on Thursday due to back tightness, so the Sixers may decide to take the cautious approach once again. The Sixers will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, so no big winners […]

Hezonja’s previous high in […]

Reggie Bullock is Questionable Against Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Reggie Bullock (neck) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed Thursday's game due to foot soreness, but now he's dealing with neck stiffness. Alex Caruso has been reliable lately and is a decent DFS option without Bullock in the rotation.
Luka Doncic Won't Play on Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played very well on Wednesday, but it appears the Mavs are tanking at this point in the season. Courtney Lee and Trey Burke will see increased minutes on Friday.

It was as recently as March 17 that Antetokounmpo collected a career-high 52 points and 16 rebounds against the Sixers, so while Thursday’s performance […]
Wesley Matthews is Questionable for Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Tyreke Evans has been starting for Matthews, so he could return to the bench if Matthews is cleared to play. Doug McDermott has been getting a boost as well, so his fantasy value could take a hit.
James Ennis Ruled Out on Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers forward James Ennis (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ennis aggravated his right quad injury on Wednesday, so the Sixers are letting him sit this one out. J.J. Redick (quad) and Jimmy Butler (back) are also questionable for this game. T.J. McConnell could be looking at heavy […]
Kyle Kuzma is Questionable on Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.
