Harden was 1-for-8 from three and also posted one steal and two blocks. He'll face the Pistons on Saturday, who allow opponents to shoot the 11th-highest […]
Jaylen Brown's Shot Is Off Against Nets
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown struggled from the field on Thursday against the Nets, shooting just 5-for-23 from the floor and 3-for-12 from three-point range. He finished with 13 points, as well as five rebounds, six assists, and four steals. Considering Brown is a 49.5 percent shooter on the season and a 38.8 percent shooter […]
DeMar DeRozan Out On Friday Evening
San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan (personal) won't play on Friday night against the Magic. The veteran will be away from the team for an undisclosed period while dealing with the unfortunate passing of his father. With DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge (personal) out of the lineup, there will be plenty of room for Derrick White, […]
Darius Garland Questionable On Friday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (groin) is questionable for Friday's contest against New Orleans. The 21-year-old injured his left groin before the All-Star break, an ailment that may put his status in jeopardy beyond the matchup against the Pelicans. If Garland isn't able to go, look for Collin Sexton to gain additional fantasy appeal, with […]
Eric Gordon Available Against Sacramento
Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will play on Thursday against Sacramento. The veteran has been battling soreness in his left knee, but he is good to go after riding a questionable tag throughout the day. John Wall (knee) won't play, making it likely that Gordon will begin the game on the floor, with the […]
J.J. Redick Will Be Re-Evaluated In One Week
New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (heel) underwent a small procedure to relieve inflammation and soreness in his right heel and will be re-evaluated in one week. Redick has been bothered by a heel injury, but this was a non-surgical procedure and he should be back sooner rather than later. The week absence is more […]
DeMar DeRozan Will Not Play Friday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) will be away from the team and will miss Friday night's game against the Orlando Magic. DeRozan will miss another game due to a family emergency and should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. With DeRozan out and LaMarcus Aldridge (trade rumors) sitting, Lonnie […]
Luka Doncic And Kristaps Porzingis Out Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) and forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) are both out Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both starters are most likely getting a rest day here after playing on Wednesday, so they should both be cleared for their next game on Saturday. With Doncic out, Jalen Brunson will likely handle the […]
Evan Fournier, Cole Anthony Out On Thursday
Orlando Magic guards Evan Fournier (groin) and Cole Anthony (ribs) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Both players have been dealing with lingering injuries and it's unclear when they will get back on the court. In the meantime, Michael Carter-Williams and Terrence Ross (knee) will see the biggest increase in […]
Eric Gordon Might Sit Versus Kings
Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to left knee soreness. The Rockets could certainly use Gordon out there with Danuel House (knee) unavailable on Thursday. Gordon could be worth a look as a […]
Devin Booker Might Sit Out Thursday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was able to fully practice on Wednesday, so it sounds like Booker is heading in the right direction. Abdel Nader will lose some value with Booker likely returning, but he's worth holding while Cameron Johnson remains […]
Terrence Ross Questionable For Thursday
Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The Magic are already shorthanded for this game, so losing Ross would be a significant blow to the rotation. Dwayne Bacon has played increased minutes lately, but isn't a reliable fantasy option. DFS players should be able to […]
Fred VanVleet To Remain Out On Thursday Night
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet will remain out on Thursday against the Hawks. The 27-year-old will miss his third straight contest dating back to before the All-Star break due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. With Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby both in the same boat as VanVleet, Kyle Lowry, Norman Powell and Chris Boucher […]
Kris Dunn Could Return This Month
Atlanta Hawks guard Kris Dunn (knee, ankle) is out on Thursday evening against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran hasn't played yet this season while continuing to work his way back from multiple injuries. While there is a chance that Dunn could return before the end of the month, fantasy managers that still have him on […]
Delon Wright Questionable Against Charlotte
Detroit Pistons guard Delon Wright (groin) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Hornets. The 28-year-old missed his previous seven contests while dealing with a groin strain, an ailment that opened the door for Dennis Smith Jr. to receive some meaningful minutes. Wright is averaging 10.7 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.6 boards during the 2021 […]
Devonte’ Graham Likely To Play On Thursday
Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) will likely be available on Thursday night against Detroit. The 26-year-old missed his previous seven games before the All-Star break, which wasn't good news considering he also missed three contests at the beginning of February due to a groin issue. However, Graham appears to be good to go and […]
Marcus Smart Will Play On Thursday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (calf) will return for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has not played in a game since late January, but was expected to return shortly after the All-Star break. The prolonged absence will mean that Smart is going to be limited during his first few games back in the […]
Bradley Beal Drops Game-High 33 Points In Win Over Clippers
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal led all scorers with 33 points in Thursday night's 119-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. He shot 9-for-23 from the field and 14-for-15 from the line in the game. He also had seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block and he committed just one turnover. Beal […]
Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb Playing Against Nuggets
Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) will be on the court for Thursday's matchup with the Nuggets. Sabonis looked good playing on the ankle Wednesday and could be poised to exploit the Nuggets' small-ball four lineups. Lamb only played 19 minutes but racked up some nice stats, though Denver has […]
Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb Expected To Play Thursday
Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) are both expected to play on Thursday against the Nuggets. Sabonis was on the court for the first half of the back-to-back on Wednesday, producing an 18-6-5 line with a block and a steal. He should be in line for another good outing against […]
Tyrese Haliburton Remains Out On Thursday
Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) will sit out on Thursday against Portland. The rookie has missed his previous three games while dealing with soreness in his left calf, which will open the door for Cory Joseph to get some additional run. Joseph logged 34 minutes against the Lakers on Wednesday, finishing with 13 points […]
Buddy Hield Questionable Again
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Buddy Hield (ankle) has been classified as questionable for Thursday's outing against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 28-year-old had the same designation leading up to Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers but still managed to suit up, finishing with 29 points throughout 42 minutes of work. Though it would be surprising […]
Jeremy Lamb Could Rest On Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He played 19 minutes on Wednesday, but could sit out in this one since it's the last game before the All-Star break. His absence would likely mean more playing time for Edmond Sumner. Sadly, Sumner hasn't shown enough […]
J.J. Redick Questionable Against Heat
New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He scored 22 points on Wednesday, but the team might take the cautious approach with one game left before the All-Star break. Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would benefit from the loss of Redick. Hart is the […]
Norman Powell Pours In Season-High 36 Points
Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell stayed red-hot in Wednesday's loss to the Pistons. Coming off of a 30-point effort in his last outing, Powell dropped a season-high 36 points with five rebounds, five triples, one assist, and a steal in 38 minutes. The 27-year-old was already seeing added opportunities with Kyle Lowry down for an […]
Victor Oladipo Continues Inefficient Scoring
Houston Rockets shooting guard Victor Oladipo recorded a season-high 33 points in Wednesday's loss to the Nets but did so with horrible 9-for-25 shooting from the field. He ended up with a nice 5-for-11 shooting from downtown but struggled everywhere else. Oladipo's line also included seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and two […]
James Harden Notches Triple-Double In Return To Houston
Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden was back in Houston Wednesday night and had a vintage performance with 29 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds. He missed only five of his 15 shots and was 4-for-8 from downtown with a 5-for-7 record at the charity stripe. Harden's work also included three steals and one block with […]
Alex Caruso Out On Wednesday Evening
Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (neck) won't play on Wednesday against the Kings. The 27-year-old is dealing with spasms after suffering the injury on Tuesday night against Phoenix. Caruso is averaging 5.8 points, 2.4 assists, and a steal through 19 minutes of action, so hopefully, he will be able to return upon completion of […]
Buddy Hield Starting On Wednesday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Buddy Hield (ankle) will start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hield suffered a sprained right ankle during the matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night but appears well enough to give it a go against the defending champs. The 28-year-old has logged heavy minutes throughout the year and gains […]
Evan Fournier Won't Suit Up On Wednesday
Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (groin) won't take the court on Wednesday against the Hawks. Fournier is dealing with a strained groin and will get the All-Star break to rest his ailment. Terrence Ross will make his second start of the year with James Ennis (calf) out for another game. Ross and Michael Carter-Williams should […]
