Jaylen Brown Faces Minutes Cap Monday
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is making his return to action Monday following an eight-game absence, but it will come with a caveat: his minutes will be capped. Head coach Ime Udoka indicated that the team would run Brown for roughly "four six-minute stints," which would put his ceiling around 24 minutes […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Cleared To Suit Up Monday
Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) will play in Monday's game against the Celtics despite previously having been listed as questionable due to a right quad contusion. Bogdanovic has started each of the first 16 games that he has appeared this season, but his production has fluctuated on a nightly basis to the tune […]
Cole Anthony, Gary Harris Will Miss Monday’s Contest
Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and shooting guard Gary Harris (hand) have been ruled out for Monday's game against Milwaukee. Mychal Mulder will be elevated into the starting five in place of Anthony, a move which gives the third-year pro a significant boost in DFS appeal, particularly at his bargain basement price tag. […]
Boston Welcomes Jaylen Brown Back On Monday
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been cleared to return to action for Monday's game against Houston. Brown had been sidelined since Nov. 4 due to a strained right hamstring, with his return likely bumping Dennis Schroder from the starting five.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Could Sit Against Thunder
Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was dealing with an ankle issue last week and now has a quad contusion. Bogdanovic was already playing below average this season, but the injuries haven't helped him at all. Fantasy managers should expect Cam Reddish […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Could Miss Monday's Game
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star guard has been in a slump recently, but that could be due to the ankle issue. Nonetheless, Josh Giddey and Ty Jerome would be asked to step up if Gilgeous-Alexander is forced to miss time. […]
Paul George Goes For 29 Points In Sunday's Win
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George had a game-high 29 points on 12-for-25 shooting as the team took down Dallas 97-91 on Sunday.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Jae'Sean Tate recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 boards in Saturday's loss to the Knicks and collected three assists, one steal and two blocks. He shot 5-for-12 from the field and 1-or-5 from behind the arc, while committing three turnovers in 31 minutes. Tate rarely does anything spectacular, but he […]

Tyler Herro Returning Against Washington
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (wrist) will be back on the court for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sat out their last contest due to a minor wrist injury, but will only miss one game because of it. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Herro to be limited, so they should feel comfortable sliding him […]
Kevin Porter Jr. Ruled Out Saturday
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. That marks the second game in a row that Porter has missed due to a left thigh contusion. The good news is, Houston is listing him as day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like Porter will miss […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle has been cleared to return for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been sidelined nearly three weeks while following protocols and getting up his conditioning. He'll get back in action on Saturday, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from him. Thybulle should be limited with it being […]
Chris Duarte Tagged As Questionable
Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed two games earlier in the week before returning on Friday. However, Duarte only played 14 minutes in that contest, so possibly the Pacers are still being cautious with him. That being said, he could be […]

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart put in a strong line of 22 points, eight rebounds, and six assists during a 130-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

Kevin Porter Jr. Tagged As Questionable For Saturday
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) has been tagged as questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He sat out of Wednesday's contest due to a thigh contusion.

De'Anthony Melton Listed As Out For Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton (groin) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is the first time we're hearing about a groin issue and the fact Melton was ruled out immediately isn't a good sign. He was playing extremely well to begin the season, but has been falling off the […]
Tomas Satoransky To Start On Friday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Tomas Satoransky will move into the starting five for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was announced that Devonte' Graham (foot) has been ruled out for this game. It wouldn't be surprising to see Graham miss more than one game due to this issue. In the meantime, Satoransky will […]
Alex Caruso Available Against Denver
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) is listed as available on the league's official injury report. The former Laker has been dealing with a bruised left wrist lately, but it hasn't stopped him from playing, so his designation against Denver isn't much of a surprise. The 27-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.7 […]

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Devin Vassell came off the bench to deliver a team-high 18 points on 8-for-14 shooting in Thursday's blowout loss against Minnesota.
