Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard returned after a two-game absence to record 28 points, but it was not enough in the loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Leonard added six rebounds with four assists and added a steal with four triples on the night. It took Leonard a bit of time […]

Kent Bazemore Provides A Solid Line In Friday's Loss

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore posted a decent line on Friday, but it was not enough in the 21-point loss to the Boston Celtics. Bazemore recorded 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting with two triples to go along with seven assists and two steals while grabbing three rebounds. Consistency has been an issue for […]

Hassan Whiteside And Justise Winslow In starting Lineup

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) will be back in the starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Friday night after missing four straight games for the birth of his son. With Whiteside being away from the team for the past week, it is possible he will not see his usual workload. However, he should still […]

Khris Middleton And Malcolm Brogdon Out Versus Cavs

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton (finger) and point guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) will not play versus the Cavaliers on Friday. While both players are not expected to be out long, Tony Snell and Pat Connaughton will replace them on the first unit in a very favorable matchup tonight. Connaughton is a viable DFS […]

Otto Porter May Play Versus Nets

Washington Wizards small forward/power forward Otto Porter (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday night's clash against the Nets. This is just an update as Porter has been listed as questionable for tonight's contest since being ruled out for the game on Wednesday. If he is once again unable to go, Kelly Oubre Jr. who […]

Gordon Hayward Expected to Be Available on Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) is not on the injury report and is expected to play in Friday's game. He's missed the last two games due to an illness, but it appears he's healthy enough to play. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time just to make sure.

Reggie Bullock Expected to Play on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock has missed five straight games due to a left ankle sprain. Stanley Johnson, Luke Kennard, and Langston Galloway will lose some playing time with Bullock likely returning.

Brandon Ingram Ruled Out for Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He injured his ankle on Wednesday and hasn't played since then. Kyle Kuzma has been on fire lately, so expect him to see increased playing time. Kuzma is a solid bet for fantasy formats while Ingram is […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is Expected to Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks, according to head coach James Borrego. MKG missed Wednesday's game, but it looks like he'll only miss one game. He's averaging just 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists this season. MKG is only worth a […]

Jabari Parker is Dropped From The Rotation

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker has been dropped from the Bulls rotation, according to Malika Andrews. Parker played just four minutes on Thursday and obviously wasn't able to do much with such limited playing time. Parker doesn't expect to be out of the rotation forever, but it's unclear when he'll return. The Bulls are finally […]

Justise Winslow is Expected to Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Winslow played on Wednesday, but finished with just nine points. However, Winslow was on fire before that contest, so hopefully he can stay hot. He'll be someone worth looking at as a cheap option in DFS contests.

Kawhi Leonard is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Leonard participated in Friday's shootaround, but remains questionable with a bruised right hip. He's missed two straight games and looks like he could sit out a third contest. Fred Vanvleet has started when Leonard is sidelined and played fairly […]

Tobias Harris Leads Clippers In Scoring Versus Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris scored a team-high 17 points in Thursday's loss to the Spurs, shooting 5-for-14 from the field and 1-for-4 from downtown. It wasn't a pretty sight, but Harris at least improved slightly compared to a 10-point dud he had against Toronto earlier in the week. However, he'll be in a […]

Rudy Gay Scores 21 Points On Thursday

[…]

Luka Doncic Delivers Solid Performance

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic finished Thursday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns with 13 points, five rebounds and a team-high six assists.

T.J. Warren Drops Season-High 30 Points In Win

Phoenix Suns small/power forward T.J. Warren went for a season-high 30 points during Thursday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Justin Holiday Scores An Efficient 18 Points On Thursday

Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Justin Holiday recorded 18 points on an efficient 6-for-11 shooting from the floor in his club's six-point loss to the Orlando Magic. Holiday connected on an excellent 4-for-5 of his shots from three and added five rebounds with two assists and three steals in 38 minutes. It looks like Jabari […]

Jabari Parker Loses Spot In Rotation

Chicago Bulls small/power forward Jabari Parker is likely playing his final games as a regular member of his team’s rotation beginning Thursday against the Orlando Magic. With the return of both Bobby Portis and Lauri Markkanen to the fold in the frontcourt, minutes are becoming precious and it appears that the Bulls want to go […]

Trevor Ariza is Expected to Start on Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Trevor Ariza (personal) is expected to start in Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ariza sat out of Tuesday's game, but head coach Igor Kokoskov said it was a precautionary move. It sounds like Ariza will be fine for Thursday's contest.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Returns to Practice on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) did not play in Wednesday's game due to personal reasons. However, MKG is back at practice on Thursday and expected to play in Friday's game against the Knicks. MKG doesn't have much fantasy value right now besides in deeper leagues.
