Donovan Mitchell Lands In Concussion Protocol, Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Houston after having been placed in the league's concussion protocol Tuesday. The blow in question reportedly happened just prior to halftime of the team's loss to the Lakers on Monday, although Mitchell finished the outing, albeit shooting 6-for-19 overall, including […]

Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic Out For Wednesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) and point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) have been ruled inactive ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Minnesota.

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Desmond Bane and small/power forward Kyle Anderson have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely.

Gary Trent Jr. Not Available On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Trent attempted to warm up for this contest, but the swelling in his left ankle continues to bother him. That means, Trent will miss his fifth straight game, but seems closer to a return. Fred VanVleet and […]

Duncan Robinson Moves Into Starting Lineup

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kyle Lowry (personal) will be unavailable for this contest, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. His absence should mean more minutes for Robinson, Strus, and possibly Caleb Martin. Robinson is a shaky fantasy option due […]

Gary Trent Jr. Will Attempt To Play

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) will warm up and see if he can play against the Miami Heat on Monday. He has missed each of the last four games due to a left ankle issue. The Raptors could certainly use Trent back on the floor, but fantasy managers will have to wait and […]

Cameron Johnson Likely Returning Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are expected to ease him back into his role. That being said, it's unlikely that Johnson has much fantasy appeal […]

Tyrese Haliburton Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Sunday. He won't play against the Rockets, and a few more absences are likely as well. The 21-year-old is averaging 13.7 points, 7.1 assists and 1.7 steals this season, so replacing him won't be easy. However, De'Aaron Fox will likely be […]

Zach LaVine Avoids Serious Injury

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) underwent an MRI on Saturday morning. Fortunately, the results were encouraging, showing no signs of structural damage. The veteran injured his left knee during the first quarter of Friday's blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors and will be re-evaluated in about a week. While LaVine isn't expected to […]

Kevin Durant Out At Least A Month

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) will miss at least a month. The former MVP sustained a sprained left MCL during Saturday's win over New Orleans, and he will now be on the shelf for four-to-six weeks. The 33-year-old has played well this year, averaging 29.3 points, 7.4 boards, and 5.8 assists. However, his workload […]

Derrick White Will Play Versus Clippers

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White will be available for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, so he'll be available on Saturday. Although, head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned White could come off the bench and have a minutes limit. That being said, he might not […]

Matisse Thybulle, Danny Green Ruled Out Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) and forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Thybulle took a fall during Friday's game and was forced out of that contest. As a result, Thybulle will miss at least Saturday's game. Green has been dealing with lingering hip pain for […]

Gary Trent Jr. Won't Play Against Bucks

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This marks the fourth game in a row that Trent has missed due to a left ankle issue. Svi Mykhailiuk should see increased playing time without Trent in the lineup. Although, he hasn't done much on the […]

Kevin Huerter Will Play On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a left foot contusion, but will play through the issue here. Huerter should actually have increased value now that Cam Reddish is off the roster. He should get more minutes and plenty of shots coming his […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Playing Against Pistons

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the third game in a row that Trent has missed due to right ankle swelling. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as the Raptors are likely just being overly cautious. Svi Mykhailiuk should see more […]

Jeremy Lamb Won't Play Against Suns

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He attempted to warm-up pregame, but ultimately decided to sit this game out. Torrey Craig (quad) will be active and is likely to see more minutes without Lamb available. Although, Craig hasn't been too productive in terms of […]

Kevin Durant, Patty Mills Will Miss Thursday’s Game

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant (rest) and point/shooting guard Patty Mills (rest) will be held out of Thursday's contest against the Thunder due to rest purposes. Durant, the league's leading scorer at 29.7 points per game, has been on a scoring tear as of late, having dropped at least 24 points in each of […]

James Harden Returns Versus Chicago

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He'll return here after missing one contest due to left knee hyperextension. The Nets will also have Kyrie Irving (ankle) available after he suffered a minor injury during his last contest. That being said, it appears the Nets have their […]

Klay Thompson Set To Play Thursday, Sit Out Friday’s Game

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Thursday's contest vs. Milwaukee, an indication that the sharpshooter will play during the nationally televised portion of the team's back-to-back. The Warriors have not yet given Thompson the thumbs up to play on two consecutive nights, which means […]

Dennis Schroder Draws Start With Marcus Smart Out

Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder has been elevated to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thigh) out of the mix. Schroder has held a constantly fluctuating role during his first season in Boston, but he will have significant DFS upside among the starting group Wednesday. Entering […]

Clint Capela, Cam Reddish Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Cam Reddish (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Miami. The absence of Capela marks his second straight game missed, while Reddish is dealing with lingering effects of having sprained his ankle Sunday. Onyeka Okongwu figures to step into a larger role at […]

Chris Duarte Remains Absent For Wednesday’s Game

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Chris Duarte (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Celtics, marking his second consecutive absence. Duarte has been away from the team while attending to the birth of his daughter, which opens the door for Jeremy Lamb to play a larger offensive role within the second unit. When […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert Will Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and point/shooting guard Caris LeVert have been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game vs. the Celtics. Brogdon is returning from a nine-game absence, while LeVert is back after five contests spent on the sidelines, with both likely facing capped minutes totals out of the […]

Marcus Smart Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thigh) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Wednesday's game vs. Indiana due to a right thigh contusion. With Payton Pritchard (health and safety protocols) questionable to return, Jaylen Brown could once again be looking at a game with massive assists upside; Dennis Schroder would also be in […]

Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent Jr. Will Miss Tuesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors power forward Scottie Barnes (knee) and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix. Both are dealing with soreness for their respective ailments, with Barnes having struggled to the tune of a 10% three-point percentage over his last four games. Trent's absence will mark his second […]

James Harden, Kyrie Irving Questionable To Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard James Harden (knee) and point/shooting guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) have both been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Bulls. Harden missed Monday's game, but there is optimism around a potential return to action, while Irving is facing a two-game absence after Wednesday due to his inability to […]

Bradley Beal Lands In COVID-19 Protocols Again

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal was placed in the league's health and safety protocols prior to Tuesday's game vs. Oklahoma City, ruling him out indefinitely. Corey Kispert will enter the starting five with Beal missing action for the second time this season due to the protocols. The three-time All-Star has been on a torrid […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Chris Duarte Will Miss Monday’s Outing

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and shooting guard Chris Duarte (personal) have been ruled out for Monday's game vs. Boston. Brogdon's Achilles issue has now sidelined him for nine contests, while Duarte is unavailable after a brief one-game return following a stint in the league's health and safety protocols. The backcourt group of […]
