Andre Iguodala Draws Start Over Quinn Cook
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala is drawing the start over Quinn Cook on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors are trying to get some extra size and defense for James Harden and Chris Paul. Iguodala has been limited this season, so the Warriors are still not likely to give him an inordinate amount […]
Gerald Green Appears Good To Go For Thursday
Houston Rockets guard/forward Gerald Green (ankle) is in uniform and going through shootaround for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. If you wanted to play him tonight, feel free to fire him up on DFS sites. He looks like he will not have any restrictions on the night.
Maurice Harkless Remains Out On Friday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless (knee) remains out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Harkless' knee issue refuses to go away, and this is the 10th straight game he will have missed. With Seth Curry (knee) also out, Evan Turner and Nik Stauskas will see some extra work on the night.
Omri Casspi Probable For Friday
Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. Casspi has missed the team's previous five games due to right knee soreness, and his addition to the lineup will be a welcoming sight for a depleted Grizzlies depth chart. Unfortunately, his return does very little for fantasy […]
Rudy Gay Listed As Active On Thursday
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will return from his one-game absence on Thursday. Unfortunately, Gay has missed four of his last five contests due to a right heel issue that has been dealing with inflammation, but Wednesday's vacancy from the lineup was purely for precautionary purposes. However, preventive maintenance could become a routine […]
Taurean Prince Listed As Out On Thursday
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (Achilles) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Prince was dealing with a sprained right ankle recently, but this is the first news we have heard of him struggling with an Achilles issue. Deandre Bembry should see a more significant role tonight and is worth a […]
Brandon Ingram To See Some Time At Point Guard
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram will play some point guard minutes with Rajon Rondo (hand) out three to five weeks. Luke Walton also mentioned Lance Stephenson and Svi Mykhailuk as guys "who can play point guard," as well as LeBron James and Lonzo Ball. What all of this means is that there is no […]
Marcus Morris is Listed as Questionable
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sat out of Wednesday's game, so this is clearly something Morris is unable to play through. Semi Ojeleye played 20 minutes off the bench with Morris sidelined on Wednesday. That is likely going to the case once […]
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is Questionable for Friday
Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Jefferson exited early during Wednesday's contest, but this doesn't seem like a serious issue. Jarrett Allen (illness) is also listed as questionable for this contest. DeMarre Carroll and Kenneth Faried would get more involved if Jefferson or Allen sit out.
Derrick Jones is Questionable for Friday
Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He sat out on Wednesday and it appears he's still dealing with a stomach flu. However, Jones doesn't do enough on the court to make an impact in fantasy leagues. Tyler Johnson, Wayne Ellington, and Josh Richardson would […]
Gary Clark is Listed as Questionable for Thursday
Houston Rockets forward Gary Clark (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. However, Clark said he intend to play through the issue and said directly that he is playing on Thursday. Clark has seen an increase in minutes and value since Carmelo Anthony has been benched. Although, it's not […]
Carmelo Anthony is Not Expected to Play Thursday
Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony (rest) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It sounds like Melo has already played his last game in Houston. There are rumors that some organizations are interested in him, but Anthony can be dropped in all leagues. It's unclear what kind of role he'd […]
Wilson Chandler Performs Well Despite Minutes Restriction
Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler was on a minutes restriction again in Wednesday's meeting with the Magic, but he made the most of his 23 minutes on the court, scoring 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting and adding four rebounds and a steal to the ledger as well.

Nikola Mirotic Posts Another Double-Double In Return To Lineup
New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic was back on the court on Wednesday after missing a couple of games and he showed that he hadn't picked up any rust, going for a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double against the Timberwolves. His struggles from deep continued with a 2-for-8 effort, but he shot a solid 7-for-14 overall. Mirotic […]

Ingram may […]
Andrew Wiggins Drops Four Triples On The Pels
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins matched his season high with four made triples on Wednesday, shooting 4-for-9 from deep against the Pelicans. He was clearly feeling it from deep, but his overall shooting ended up being a lowly 8-for-22. Wiggins finished with 23 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block. Getting […]
Kyle Kuzma Records Just Seven Points On Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma scored in the single digits for just the first time this season, but it did not matter as his club picked up the win on Wednesday.

Jae Crowder Goes Ice-Cold From Downtown

Crowder scored just five points and added just a single assist in 22 minutes of action. Crowder has connected on just four […]

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard provided an excellent line for his owners in his club's loss on Wednesday to the Detroit Pistons. Leonard was 10-for-18 from the floor for 26 points with nine rebounds and added four assists with three steals, but if your league includes turnovers, he did cough the ball up […]

Jake Layman's Days Are Numbered
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jake Layman contributed just six points and four rebounds against the Lakers on Wednesday. While Layman is the starting small forward, his overall contribution has meant little to the success of the 10-4 Blazers. His season totals are 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and .3 assists per game. With the return of […]
