Rodney Hood Tagged As Questionable Ahead Of Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood has his status for Friday’s game against the Houston Rockets up in the air with a questionable designation due to an Achilles injury that has kept him out of his team’s previous three games. Should Hood be able to suit up, he would presumably cut into the ceiling […]
Iman Shumpert Cleared To Play Thursday
Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Iman Shumpert has been given the thumbs up to suit up for Thursday’s contest versus the Detroit Pistons and will reclaim his spot in the starting five. Shumpert had been listed as questionable coming into the contest due to a finger injury that kept him on the sidelines for the […]
Jared Dudley Ruled Out For Friday’s Contest
Brooklyn Nets small/power forward Jared Dudley will not be able to suit up for Friday’s game against the Toronto Raptors due to the left hamstring injury that forced him early from Wednesday’s contest. Dudley has started the last five games for Brooklyn, and it was DeMarre Carroll who saw the biggest bump in usage in […]
Maurice Harkless To Remain Out On Friday
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Maurice Harkless has already been ruled out for Friday’s contest versus the Charlotte Hornets due to left knee soreness. Harkless has been battling knee issues and will now miss his third contest in his team’s last four games; while he’s still on a game-to-game basis, he’s certainly not trending in […]
LeBron James Won't Play on Friday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will not travel with the team for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This will mark the ninth straight game that James has missed as he stays in L.A. to be re-evaluated. Josh Hart should continue drawing the starts, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope benefits as well. James might be […]
Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Thursday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (finger) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He did not play in Monday or Tuesday's game, so it's unclear if he'll actually be healthy enough to suit up for this one. Bogdan Bogdanovic would start while Yogi Ferrell would see increased playing time as the […]
Jayson Tatum Plays Efficiently
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum had a solid outing Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Tatum scored 20 points going nine for fifteen from the floor with two of those made buckets coming from beyond the arc. This was the third straight contest where Tatum has had a minimum of 16 points. During this three-game […]

Kyle Kuzma Delivers Career-High 41 Points In 29 Minutes
Los Angeles Lakers small/power forward Kyle Kuzma certainly seems to be past any back ailments he may have had, scorching the Detroit Pistons for a career-best 41 points in just three quarters of action Wednesday. The offensive focal point of the evening, the Michigan native went 16-for-24 from the floor, including 5-for-10 from deep. Without […]

T.J. Warren Records 20 Points With Seven Rebounds
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren posted another solid line on Wednesday, but he did struggle from the floor as he shot just 7-for-20 to score 20 points in the 10-point loss to the Mavericks. Warren managed to grab seven rebounds and added an assist while shooting 2-for-6 from range on the night. Warren got some […]
Jared Dudley Done Early In Wednesday’s Game
Brooklyn Nets small/power forward Jared Dudley exited Wednesday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks in the third quarter due to a left hamstring injury and will not make it back out for the remainder of the contest. Dudley went 0-for-2 from the floor (both three-point attempts) in his 16 minutes of action, adding two rebounds, two […]
Luka Doncic On Track To Play Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic should be ready for Wednesday’s contest versus the Phoenix Suns after having been tagged as questionable to suit up earlier in the day due to a back injury. Doncic was able to practice Tuesday, which boded well for his chances, but he’ll now get a third crack at the Suns, […]
E'Twaun Moore To Miss Second Straight Game
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore will be in street clothes for Wednesday’s contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a left quad injury. Moore had racked up four consecutive games in double figures before being forced out ahead of Monday’s contest, and with Nikola Mirotic now set to return to the fold, […]
Rodney Hood To Miss Third Straight Contest
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood will be unable to suit up for Wednesday’s game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to a left Achilles injury. Hood’s absence should pave the way for both Jordan Clarkson and Alec Burks to continue seeing all the shots that they can handle. Hood’s next chance for returning […]
DeMarre Carroll, Joe Harris Will Play on Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (knee) and guard/forward Joe Harris (ankle) are available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players missed Monday's game, but will be back in action for this one. Shabazz Napier and Rodions Kurucs will lose value and minutes with Carroll and Harris returning.
Luka Doncic is Questionable on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Doncic is dealing with a lower back strain, but it doesn't sound serious. He's only missed one game this season and it'll likely take more than a back strain to keep him sidelined. However, fantasy owners should check […]
Kevin Huerter is Probable on Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard /forward Kevin Huerter (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Huerter was downgraded to questionable on Tuesday after shootaround, but he must be feeling better on Wednesday. Jeremy Lin should return to the bench, assuming Huerter is able to play against the Nets.
Dillon Brooks Likely Done For The Season
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (toe) is expected to undergo a procedure on his right toe and likely miss the rest of the season. Brooks was only averaging minutes in the teens, so this shouldn't be a big blow to fantasy rosters. He can obviously be dropped in all formats now. Kyle Anderson and Justin […]
