Chris Duarte Unable To Finish Wednesday's Practice
Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) was unable to get through Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He missed each the last two games before the All-Star break due to left toe soreness. Fantasy managers should consider Duarte questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Terry Taylor and Buddy Hield […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Returning On Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will make his return to the court on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. He has not played since late January and should have minute restrictions. That being said, he won't be the best bet for DFS contests on Thursday. The Thunder are likely to ease Gilgeous-Alexander back into […]
Marcus Smart Should Return Versus Hawks
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is expected to suit up versus the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. He missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to a minor ankle issue.

Joe Harris Might Need Second Surgery
Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (ankle) could be in danger of missing the rest of the regular season. The organization believes Harris could need a second surgery on his ankle.

Joe Harris Could Possibly Return After All-Star Break
Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (ankle) has a chance of returning after the All-Star break, according to head coach Steve Nash. Harris has been out since November 14, but appears on track to return soon. It's uncertain how Harris would fit in the Nets new rotation.

Zach LaVine Given Knee Treatment
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) was given both a platelet-rich plasma injection and a cortisone shot by a specialist earlier this week.

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was held out of Wednesday's contest and was listed as doubtful coming into this game. The Rockets have decided to give their young guard extra rest heading into the All-Star break. Dennis Schroder is expected […]
Grayson Allen Will Miss Thursday’s Game
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Grayson Allen (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the 76ers due to a sore left hip. Allen's absence paves the way for Wesley Matthews to step into both a larger minutes allotment and offensive role, particularly from behind the arc. Allen has averaged a career-best 2.5 made […]
Reggie Bullock, Frank Ntilikina Will Miss Thursday’s Contest
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock (hip) and point/shooting guard Frank Ntilikina (ankle) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against New Orleans. Bullock has been sensationally hot from long range over his last nine outings, knocking down an average of 4.3 made triples at a 48.1% clip in that span. With Kristaps Porzingis […]
Norman Powell Out Thursday, Faces Extended Absence
LA Clippers shooting guard/small forward Norman Powell (foot) has been deemed unavailable to play in Thursday's game vs. Houston as he deals with a fractured medial sesamoid bone. The ailment, which is more significant than initially believed, figures to keep Powell on the shelf for a considerable period of time. The 28-year-old has played in […]
Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet Set To Return Next Week
Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (wrist) and shooting guard/small forward Landry Shamet (ankle) are expected to suit up for the team's second-half opener vs. Oklahoma City next Thursday.

Kevin Porter Jr. Tagged As Doubtful For Thursday
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was held out of Wednesday's game and it seems unlikely that he'll suit up here. The Rockets are probably going to hold out Porter during the final game before the All-Star break. Dennis Schroder started […]
Tyler Herro To Remain Out On Thursday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) will miss his second straight game on Thursday when the Heat take on the Charlotte Hornets. Herro has been hampered by a right knee contusion for about 10 days now. He was able to play through the injury this past Saturday, but that was the only action he's seen […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Won't Play Versus Suns
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are going to be shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also sidelined. Dennis Schroder (Achilles) is likely to see a bigger role in the rotation, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Josh Christopher should be asked […]
Javonte Green Will Play Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard Javonte Green (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was tagged as questionable earlier in the day, but played 35 minutes on Monday. Zach LaVine (knee) is sidelined through the All-Star break, so Green should have a significant role. DeMar DeRozan will continue to have his value […]
Zach LaVine Expected To Return After All-Star Break
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) visited with a knee specialist earlier in the week. The appointment went well and LaVine is supposed to return after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Fans shouldn't expect LaVine to participate in All-Star weekend, but we'll see what happens. Until his return, DeMar DeRozan will […]
Marcus Smart Won't Play Versus Pistons
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't too shocking considering Smart suffered a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game. Derrick White has already been announced as the starter in place of Smart. He could be a cheap DFS option for Wednesday's slate. Payton […]
Marcus Smart Unlikely To Play Versus Pistons
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't shocking considering Smart only played 13 minutes on Tuesday before exiting with a right ankle sprain. Derrick White would likely slide into the starting five and have possible DFS value on Wednesday. Aaron Nesmith and Payton […]
Anthony Edwards Might Sit Out Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This isn't surprising considering Edwards only lasted 18 minutes on Tuesday before exiting and not returning. Jalen McDaniels started in the third quarter and put together a solid outing. He finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has been dealing with left ankle soreness, but was able to play 29 minutes on Tuesday. However, the Hawks could look to rest Bogdanovic against the struggling Magic. Lou Williams and Delon Wright stand to gain the […]

Luke Kennard Active On Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (ankle) will play during Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's surprising to see Kennard returning here after sitting out on Monday. His return will likely hurt the fantasy value of Terance Mann. Although, Mann should still be able to do enough to warrant starting in most formats. Amir […]
Luguentz Dort Remains Out On Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's not surprising to see the Thunder holding out Dort until after the All-Star break. The Thunder don't have much incentive to rush Dort back to the court. However, fantasy managers should expect him to return […]
Marcus Smart Won't Return On Tuesday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) won't return for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He only managed to play 13 minutes before exiting due to a right ankle sprain.

RJ Barrett, Nerlens Noel To Remain Out Wednesday
New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) and center Nerlens Noel (foot) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This will be the fourth straight game missed for Barrett and the firth straight for Noel. Quentin Grimes should remain in the starting lineup due to Barrett's absence. Grimes has been […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Available For Tuesday's Game
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The fifth-year pro is dealing with left ankle soreness and he had been listed as questionable earlier on Tuesday before he was cleared by the team. Bogdanovic has scored over 20 points in two straight games. Over that […]
