Caris LeVert is Available on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It sounds like LeVert is ready to play after going through two practices this week. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Nets ease him back into action. LeVert hasn't played since November, so they probably won't push it. DeMarre […]

Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart Available on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (hip) and guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Kuzma continues to battle a hip issue, so the Lakers will keep a close eye on that going forward. The Lakers may limit his playing time if the hip issue continues to bother […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be the second game in a row that Osman has missed due to an ankle issue. The Cavs will likely use a committee approach to fill the void going forward. Osman should be considered questionable for […]

Jonathon Simmons Sent To Philadelphia

Orlando Magic small forward Jonathon Simmons was traded Thursday to the Philadelphia 76ers in a deal that sent former first overall pick point guard Markelle Fultz to the Orlando Magic as reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Wesley Matthews is Planning Buyout with Knicks

New York Knicks guard/forward Wesley Matthews has agreed on a contract buyout with the Knicks and plans to sign with the Pacers. Matthews has $18.6 million left on his contract, so it was difficult for the Knicks to find a trade partner. Victor Oladipo (knee) is out for the rest of the season, so the […]

Stanley Johnson, Jason Smith Acquired By Pelicans

Milwaukee Bucks forwards Stanley Johnson, Jason Smith and four second-round picks have been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans for power forward Nikola Mirotic Thursday as reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Inefficiently Debuts For Dallas

Dallas Mavericks small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. didn't have the performance he was hoping for versus the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.

With Wednesday's game being Hardaway's first with the Mavericks and also in the contest the Mavs also traded starting small forward Harrison Barnes […]

He went 3-for-4 from behind the arc and finished with 15 points, six rebounds, and two assists. Bjelica has been very inconsistent for a while, but as long as […]

DeMarre Carroll Fills Stat Sheet Off The Bench

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll was everywhere in Wednesday's 135-130 win over Denver, scoring 18 points with 10 rebounds, six assists, and four steals. He shot 3-for-8 from the field and 10-for-13 from the line. It was a much-needed improvement from Carroll after he failed to hit the 10-point mark in back-to-back games. He won't […]

Joe Ingles Records Double-Double In Home Blowout

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles was good for 15 points with a career-high 11 assists across 34 minutes in Wednesday's home rout of the Phoenix Suns, 116-88.

Washington Wizards small forward Jeff Green was in the starting five Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, posting 22 points with four rebounds, three assists and a blocked shot while dropping in five three-pointers across 37 minutes.

Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph Headed To Dallas

Forwards Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph will be joining the Dallas Mavericks after a trade Wednesday reportedly sent Harrison Barnes back to Sacramento, as first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Jackson appeared in 52 games for the Kings this season, making three starts, averaging 6.7 points per game. The second-year wing was a first-round […]

Harrison Barnes Dealt To Sacramento

Small/power forward Harrison Barnes has been acquired by the Sacramento Kings in exchange for forwards Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph. The Kings have been aggressive just prior to the Trade Deadline, adding Alec Burks earlier Wednesday, now set to keep Barnes in the fold, as he owns a $25 million player option for next season. […]

Iman Shumpert Dealt To Rockets

Shooting guard/small forward Iman Shumpert has been dealt from one Western Conference playoff hopeful to another, acquired by the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Shumpert, who is averaging a career-high 4.8 three-point attempts per game this season, will likely fit right into his new surroundings. The club surrendered a lottery-protected first-round pick to acquire his services, […]

Eric Gordon Cleared To Play Wednesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday’s contest versus the Sacramento Kings after having started the day as questionable due to right knee soreness. Gordon’s return likely shifts James Ennis back to a bench role, although he still figures to see a solid chunk […]

Otto Porter Acquired By Bulls

Small/power forward Otto Porter has been picked up by the Chicago Bulls in a deal that will send forwards Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker in the other direction. Porter was the third overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by Washington and averaged 10.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game over five and a half […]

Garrett Temple Doubtful To Make Return Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard/small forward Garrett Temple appears on track to miss his seventh consecutive game Thursday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Temple is battling a left shoulder sprain, which has forced Memphis to get creative with their lineups, allowing Justin Holiday to benefit from a significantly increased workload. Despite his entrenchment as a starter […]

Jonathon Simmons Questionable Ahead Of Thursday’s Game

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Jonathan Simmons is listed as questionable to play in Thursday’s contest versus the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a strained abdominal. Simmons has been held out of each of his team’s previous three contests, having gone a combined 2-for-13 from the floor over the last three games he has played in. […]

Kyle Anderson Questionable To Make Return Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Kyle Anderson is tagged as questionable ahead of Thursday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to right shoulder soreness. The injury has cost Anderson each of his team’s previous three games, paving the way for Justin Holiday to see some major minutes on the wing. Anderson has been available for […]

Danilo Gallinari Tagged As Questionable For Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Danilo Gallinari is narrowing in on a return to action, which could come Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Gallinari has missed the previous 10 games due to back spasms, and the landscape of team construction around him has changed since he last suited up. After LA executed a deal to […]

Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr. Should Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Courtney Lee and guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. should be available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both are expected to make their team debuts alongside Trey Burke. Lee didn't do much with the Knicks, but should see a bigger role in Dallas. However, he'll likely only be a deep league option […]

John Collins Will Play on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (face) will play in Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Collins was forced to leave Monday's contest after suffering a facial laceration. However, it appears he'll be fine to play on Thursday. Omari Spellman won't be asked to do as much with Collins back in the rotation.

Wayne Selden is Probable for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Wayne Selden (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Selden is dealing with left knee soreness, but was able to fully practice on Tuesday. Selden has been hit-or-miss, so DFS players probably shouldn't take the risk. He's not really worth owning in most formats right now.

Marcus Morris Will Play Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) will play in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Morris is dealing with right knee soreness, but luckily it only forced him to miss one game. Jaylen Brown will head back to the bench and lose some value since it's unlikely that Morris would have any minutes limit.

Reggie Bullock Won't Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Reggie Bullock will not be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock was traded to the Lakers from the Pistons, but will go through a post-trade physical on Wednesday. He should be ready to make his debut for the Lakers on Sunday. Bullock won't do enough to warrant owning in […]

Allen Crabbe is Available on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Crabbe has been sidelined the last two months due to a right knee issue. The Nets are likely going to ease him back into action, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect much from Crabbe. Rodions Kurucs and Shabazz Napier have taken […]
