Kevin Knox Cools Off After Red-Hot Start
New York Knicks small forward Kevin Knox ended up with 24 points, six rebounds, an assist and a steal with three turnovers across 37 minutes in Friday's 114-107 loss against the Atlanta Hawks. That's not a bad overall line, but fantasy owners who were checking their live scoring might have been a bit disappointed. He […]
Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game
Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Saturday’s contest against the Philadelphia 76ers due to rest purposes. Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was hopeful that Leonard would be able to suit up for both ends of the back-to-back, but after being questionable to play Friday, Leonard will be sidelined Saturday. His absence should lead […]
Wesley Matthews Questionable To Suit Up Saturday
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Wesley Matthews has been listed as questionable for Saturday’s contest against the Golden State Warriors due to right foot soreness. Should Matthews be forced to the sidelines for the first time in over a month, there could be more shots in store for the likes of Luka Doncic and Harrison […]
Tyreke Evans To Miss Friday’s Contest
Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Tyreke Evans will be sidelined for Friday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a bruised right knee. With Evans on the bench, Aaron Holiday is expected to take over his run, although he may not garner enough playing time to warrant opportunistic DFS ownership. Evans hasn’t exceeded the 20-minute […]
Danny Green Ruled Out For Friday’s Game
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Danny Green will miss Friday’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a bruised knee. Green joins Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka and Jonas Valanciunas on the bench, with nearly all members of the Toronto second unit serving as strong DFS plays. The club’s leading three-point shooter sits at 41.4 percent […]
Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Friday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's missed the last three games due to a right hip contusion. Justin Jackson and Ben McLemore have seen more playing time in the absence of Shumpert. Neither of them are worth a look in DFS contests.
Tyreke Evans is Questionable for Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Sunday's contest, but Evans has played in the last two games. It doesn't sound like Evans is 100 percent and he hasn't played well lately. He isn't a reliable DFS option and should be left on the waiver […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic is Questionable on Friday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed Wednesday's game due to a sore right foot. The King will likely go with a committee approach to fill the void. They don't have much depth with Iman Shumpert (hip) questionable for this one as well.
Jonathon Simmons Won't Play on Friday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He injured his ankle during Wednesday's game and was unable to return. He was listed as questionable, but Simmons has been officially ruled out for this one. Terrence Ross and Jonathan Isaac should benefit the most from the […]
Derrick Jones Jr. Comes Up Big Off The Bench
Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones Jr. continued to impress on Thursday, coming off the bench to score 15 points in a 101-99 win over Houston. He shot 3-for-8 from the field and did a great job getting on the line, going 8-for-11 with his free throws. Jones Jr. also had eight rebounds, two steals, […]
Tobias Harris Has Tough Time Versus Mavs
Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris crashed back to earth on Thursday following his 39-point outing on Monday against Portland, as he shot only 4-for-12 from the field to finish with 16 points against Dallas. He didn't make a single triple and half of his points came from the free throw line with a perfect […]
Danilo Gallinari Scores Season-High 32 Points
Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari had his best outing of the season on Thursday, scoring a season-high 32 points in a win against Dallas. He was perfect from the line with seven attempts and missed only five of 16 shots from the field, going 3-for-6 with the three-ball. The Italian also had time left […]
Justise Winslow Will Not Play Thursday Night
Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (ankle) will be active, but not suit up Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Winslow will join teammates Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters on the bench for Thursday's contest. Tyler Johnson jumps into the starting lineup and should see a large amount of minutes, justifying him as a solid DFS […]
Marcus Morris is Questionable for Friday
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like Morris should be good to go and that he sat out on Wednesday as a precaution. The Celtics are banged up, so Morris should see plenty of playing time if he's available.
Brandon Ingram Hopeful to Play on Friday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) said he felt good on Thursday and is hopeful to play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kyle Kuzma has been playing fantastic in the absence of Ingram. His value is going to take a hit once Ingram returns to the rotation. Fantasy owners are going […]
Rodions Kurucs Will Start on Friday
Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs will draw another start for Allen Crabbe (knee) on Friday versus the Indiana Pacers. Crabbe will miss his fifth straight game, but head coach Kenny Atkinson made it sound like it's not a long-term problem. Kurucs continues to start, so he could be someone worth watching in deep leagues.
Justise Winslow is Questionable for Thursday
Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. Winslow did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, so he seems doubtful for Thursday. Wayne Ellington and Dwyane Wade should benefit the most if Winslow is out. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Goes 10-for-10 At Charity Stripe
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. compiled 27 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers.

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker scored 11 points on 4-for-5 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Washington Wizards. He also grabbed 11 rebounds and added four assists and two steals while shooting 3-for-4 from deep. Tucker has now scored in double-digits in three consecutive games and is looking like a quality fantasy option, but Houston […]
Rudy Gay Misses Only Three Shots Versus Magic
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay had a very productive night on Wednesday in just 23 minutes on the floor, scoring 14 points and grabbing six rebounds. He shot 6-for-9 from the field and 2-for-2 from the line, while also dishing out three assists and extending his streak with at least one block to seven […]
Kyle Anderson Scores 15 Points While Packing Stat Line
Memphis Grizzlies point guard/small forward Kyle Anderson finished in double figures for the second consecutive game Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers, scoring 15 points to go along with five rebounds, four steals and three assists.

Jaylen Brown Quiet In Return To Starting Lineup
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown reentered the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns due to the absence of Marcus Morris. Brown logged just 24 minutes and went 3-for-9 from the field, finishing with six points and one rebound. Make that three straight clunkers for Brown, who has combined to go […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Scores 13 Points In Suns Debut
Phoenix Suns small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. went for 13 points and six rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench during his club debut Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics. How Oubre fits into the Phoenix rotation since his acquisition from Washington still remains to be seen, but the Suns playing only nine players Wednesday and […]
Darius Miller Drills Season-High Six Threes
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward Darius Miller drew the start Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks and took advantage of his 37 minutes of playing time, finishing with 20 points on 6-for-11 shooting from deep. Miller has now knocked down a three in nine consecutive contests, but his limited contributions across other formats make him […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Drops 25 Points In Victory
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and eight assists during Wednesday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Antetokounmpo did record six turnovers in the contest, but finished an efficient 8-for-13 from the field, contributing up and down the box score. His next match-up comes Friday against the Boston Celtics, […]
Jae Crowder Records Second Straight Double-Double
Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder recorded 18 points with 11 rebounds to help secure his second consecutive double-double in Wednesday's win.
