Malik Beasley Draws First Start Of Season Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley has been bumped into the starting five for Friday's contest against the Lakers with Anthony Edwards (health and safety protocols) unavailable. After serving as a near full-time starter over his first year and a half with the Timberwolves, Beasley has scuffled in his transition to the second unit, having […]

Patty Mills Will Sit Out Saturday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Patty Mills (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic due to rest purposes. Mills has been deemed unavailable, even as Brooklyn is facing an extreme roster crunch due to the combination of injuries and the league's health and safety protocols. Cam Thomas and Kessler Edwards are the […]

Christian Wood, Armani Brooks Questionable For Saturday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) and shooting guard Armoni Brooks (ankle) have been tagged as questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Wood has been sidelined for the past two outings due to left knee tendinitis, while Brooks was limited to just nine minutes Thursday after dealing with a sore left ankle. […]

Paul George, Nicolas Batum Questionable For Saturday

LA Clippers shooting guard Paul George (elbow) and power forward Nicolas Batum (ankle) have both been tagged as questionable to suit up for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City. George has missed each of the Clippers' past four games with a sprained right elbow, while Batum has played just once since Nov. 19 as he battles […]

Malik Monk Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Los Angeles Lakers point/shooting guard Malik Monk has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves. Russell Westbrook was able to test out of the COVID protocols, but Monk, alongside Dwight Howard, Talen Horton-Tucker and Avery Bradley, remain in, thereby keeping the group sidelined. Monk's role as instant offense off the bench for L.A. got more […]

Lonnie Walker IV Will Suit Up For Friday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's contest against the Jazz. Walker's absence lasted just one game, with his return giving the Spurs a key piece of their second unit back. The combination of having averaged just 21.7 minutes per outing across seven December contests […]

Golden State Eyes January Return For Klay Thompson

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) is getting closer to a return to game action, with Adrian Wojnarowski and Baxter Holmes of ESPN reporting that the sharpshooter is likely to suit up come January. Many fantasy managers had been optimistic of a potential Christmas Day return, but Wojnarowski points to Jan. 9 and […]

Terrence Ross, R.J. Hampton Land In Safety Protocols, Out Friday

Orlando Magic small forward Terrence Ross and point/shooting guard R.J. Hampton have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols and will miss at least Friday night's game. Their absence has left the Magic backcourt extremely thin with Cole Anthony (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (thumb) sidelined; Gary Harris and Mychal Mulder are the only […]

Gary Harris Will Play Friday, Starts At Point Guard

Orlando Magic shooting guard Gary Harris (hamstring) has been given the green light to take the floor for Friday's game against the Heat, drawing a rare start at point guard to boot. Injuries have hampered the Magic's backcourt, which should funnel a sizable minutes allotment in the direction of Harris, who has already averaged 32 […]

Tyler Herro Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic due to a quad contusion. Herro's absence marks his second straight outing sidelined with the ailment, paving the way for Gabe Vincent to remain a significant player in the DFS market. Herro's offensive impact has remained largely unchanged […]

Moses Moody Joins Starting Five On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody will move into the starting five for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He'll be taking the place of Jordan Poole who is sidelined due to protocols. Moody hasn't done much for the Warriors this season, so it's a bit odd to see him making the start here. He […]

Austin Reaves Joins COVID List

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has entered the league's health and safety protocols. Another hit to an already crushed Lakers roster. Reaves is one night removed from an epic shot against the Dallas Mavericks in overtime. Now, Reaves won't be available for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. His absence means Kent Bazemore and […]

Romeo Langford Entering Starting Five

Boston Celtics guard Romeo Langford will move into the starting five for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It sounds like the young guard will get the nod over Al Horford who will miss this game due to protocols. Sadly, Langford hasn't been able to do much on the court lately. He is averaging […]

Dennis Schroder Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Dennis Schroder (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. the Warriors due to an illness. Schroder's absence figures to funnel minutes toward Payton Pritchard, although his DFS viability is in question with Marcus Smart holding down starting PG duties. Schroder's output during December has fluctuated wildly, with games of […]

Jordan Poole Won't Play Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole has entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Poole won't be available for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Instead, the Warriors will likely ask Damion Lee to step up and play more minutes. Although, veteran forward Andre Iguodala could see extended time as well. Neither player […]

Immanuel Quickley Listed As Out For Saturday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has entered the league's health and safety protocols. He is now the fifth player on the Knicks roster to enter protocols. This is a shame with Derrick Rose (ankle) listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. That means, Miles McBride could have a chance to build […]

Anthony Edwards Won't Play Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Edwards won't be available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a bummer after Edwards knocked down 10 triples during his last contest. His absence should mean Malik Beasley gets plenty of playing time on Friday. He'll […]

Bradley Beal Stays Hot Against Phoenix

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal scored a game-high 26 points on 11-for-18 shooting in Thursday's 118-98 loss to the Suns, hitting 2-for-3 from downtown and 2-for-4 at the foul line. He dished out five assists with five turnovers and registered three rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes. Beal has now scored 56 points […]

Landry Shamet Collects 16 Points With Four Triples

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Landry Shamet led the starters with 16 points in Thursday's big win over Washington, sinking four of his eight triples and shooting 6-for-10 overall. He also collected a couple of steals. Shamet is filling in for Devin Booker (hamstring) in the starting unit, and he's been decent with 41 percent shooting […]

Evan Fournier Heats Up Again Thursday Night

New York Knicks guard/forward Evan Fournier had a good bounce-back performance against the Rockets on Thursday, going for 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting in a 116-103 win. He hit half of his six attempts from deep and shot 4-for-7 at the line while gathering three assists with two turnovers and one rebound. Fournier scored almost […]

Immanuel Quickley Sinks Seven Triples Versus Rockets

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley had a hot hand from deep on Thursday, shooting 7-for-10 from downtown en route to a game-high 24 points in a 116-103 win over Houston. He finished 7-for-13 overall from the field and completed his line with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes […]

Lonnie Walker IV Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He sat out of Wednesday's game due to the same reason, which resulted in Devin Vassell getting additional playing time. Keita Bates-Diop was also involved more, but Vassell is the better fantasy option between the two. […]

Romeo Langford Not On Injury Report

Boston Celtics guard Romeo Langford (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. That is a good sign after Langford missed Thursday's practice due to a non-COVID related illness. Langford has shown flashes this season, but isn't worth rostering at the moment. Although, he could have […]

LaMelo Ball May Return Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball is questionable to play Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ball has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and was able to get in some practice time with Charlotte's G-League team, but he may need a little more time to get his conditioning back. If Ball does return, expect Cody Martin […]

Tyrese Maxey A Late Scratch Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (quad) will not play Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers are starting to make a pattern with the late additions to the injury report as Maxey was not listed anywhere coming into Thursday. Maxey is reportedly dealing with a quad contusion he likely picked up Wednesday against Miami. With […]

Jimmy Butler Out, Tyler Herro Questionable Friday Against Magic

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) is out, but guard Tyler Herro (quad) is questionable to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Butler will miss his fifth-straight game with a bruised tailbone as he continues to rehab back in Miami. Herro got banged up Monday against the Cavs and sat out Wednesday against the Sixers, […]

Cole Anthony And Gary Harris Questionable Friday

Orlando Magic guards Cole Anthony (ankle) and Gary Harris (hamstring) are both questionable to play Friday against the Miami Heat. Anthony missed six games in November with a sprained ankle so it is a bit worrisome to see the same injury pop up again. Harris, on the other hand, was a late scratch with hamstring […]

Malcolm Brogdon Will Sit Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) will not play Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Brogdon is a late addition to the injury report as he is reportedly dealing with Achilles soreness. For someone who misses as many games as Brogdon does, hopefully there is nothing serious going on here. With T.J. McConnell (wrist) also out, […]

Anthony Edwards Nails 10 Triples During A 38-Point Effort

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had a crazy night from downtown in Wednesday's win over Denver, going 10-for-14 with the three-ball to finish with a game-high 38 points. He shot 14-for-21 overall from the field and recorded five rebounds and one assist with one steal, one block and two turnovers in 34 minutes. Edwards had […]

Cody Martin Scores Career-High 21 Points In Wednesday's Win

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin contributed a career-high 21 points in Wednesday's 131-115 win over San Antonio, shooting 8-for-13 from the field with a perfect 4-for-4 mark from deep. He also notched eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 40 minutes. Martin has been a nice addition to the starting unit lately, helping out […]
