Jimmy Butler With Big Game Against Wizards
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler scored 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting in Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He added in nine assists as well while not attempting any three-pointers.

Donovan Mitchell Pours In 30 Points

James Harden Has Near Triple-Double
Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, 12 assists, and two steals in 40 minutes during Friday's loss to Toronto. Harden has now recorded a double-double or triple-double in the last four games. The guard has been averaging 24.4 points per game this season with Houston and Brooklyn and has still […]
Paul George Ruled Out For Friday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. With Patrick Beverley (knee) still out as well, the Clips will be a little undermanned against Boston. While Luke Kennard could see more minutes, the real fantasy winner of this is probably guard Reggie Jackson, who has […]
Bruce Brown Starting On Friday
Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown is starting Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors after Kevin Durant was scratched from the starting lineup due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's worth nothing Durant wasn't ruled out and could still be cleared to play, which puts a pretty big damper on Brown's DFS upside. If […]
Derrick Rose Ruled Out, Wayne Ellington Unlikely To Play
Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (rest) won't play on Friday against the Phoenix Suns, while guard/forward Wayne Ellington (calf) is unlikely to play. With Rose out, there a few options for players who might see more playing time, but the most likely two are Rodney McGruder and Saddiq Bey. Neither has been doing a ton […]
Jamal Murray Questionable Against Kings
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Murray must have picked up the injury in Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and has dealt with a few different ailments this season. Monte Morris is a speculative add here with […]
Gary Harris And P.J. Dozier Out Saturday
Denver Nuggets guards Gary Harris (groin) and P.J. Dozier (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. Neither Harris nor Dozier have concrete timetables for a return from their respective ailments and should be considered doubtful for the time being. The Nuggets started JaMychal Green at small forward on Thursday, which didn't work out […]
D'Angelo Russell And Naz Reid Both Starting Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) and center Naz Reid (wrist) will start Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Neither Reid nor Russell were in any danger of missing this contest, even though Russell was listed as questionable. Both players could be in line for solid performances as the Thunder only have eight active players […]
Collin Sexton Gets Green Light To Suit Up Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (neck) has been cleared to play in Friday's contest versus Milwaukee despite a previous questionable designation due to a neck ailment. Since a five-game absence related to an ankle injury, Sexton has continued to be an offensive dynamo, averaging 23.6 PPG in nine games upon his return. With two […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And Luguentz Dort Injuries Not Serious
Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) and Luguentz Dort (knee), who are both out Friday, are just day-to-day. Head coach Mark Daigneault noted neither injury was "overly serious" and they were making improvements day by day. This is a sigh of relief for the Thunder who are down to just eight active players Friday […]
Raul Neto Could Return As Soon As Sunday
Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) is "getting really close" to playing, per head coach Scott Brooks. Brooks went on to say that Neto could return as early as this Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. This would be great news for Neto, who has missed four straight games with a groin injury. The Wizards […]
Paul George Questionable Against Boston
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Paul George (foot) is questionable on Friday against Boston. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his right foot that appears to have stemmed from his 36-point performance against the Cavaliers on Wednesday night. George was a late addition to the injury report, so it wouldn't be a surprise if […]
Theo Maledon Will Miss Friday’s Contest
Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Theo Maledon has been deemed unavailable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to the league's health and safety protocols. Maledon's absence puts OKC in a perilous position as they'll have just the league minimum of eight players at their disposal, with Hamidou Diallo and Kenrich Williams likely to see whopping […]
Wayne Ellington Questionable On Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This right calf strain could explain why the veteran guard suddenly cooled off after a outstanding seven-game stretch. Saddiq Bey could have some streaming appeal without Ellington on Friday. He has been average lately, but increased playing time […]
Gary Trent Jr. Leads Portland In Scoring Thursday
With a lot of key players sidelined, Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr. scored 24 points on 8-for-23 shooting in Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. In addition, he grabbed three rebounds and dished out three assists. Trent was 4-for-9 from three and also blocked a shot. He'll face the Knicks on Saturday, who […]
Desmond Bane Leads Grizzlies In Scoring Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane scored a team-high 16 points on 5-for-8 shooting in Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. In addition, he grabbed one rebound and dished out three assists. The rookie was 2-for-4 from three and also posted a steal and a block. He'll face the Pelicans on Saturday, who allow opponents to […]
Jordan Clarkson Leads All Scorers With 23 Points
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson nailed five treys and scored a game-high 23 points in Thursday's win at Atlanta. He shot 9-for-13 from the field and had seven rebounds with four turnovers in 25 minutes. Clarkson is leading the race for the Sixth Man of the Year Award and he showed us exactly why on […]
Wayne Ellington Questionable Against Suns
Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington (calf) is questionable to play Friday against the Phoenix Suns. Once one of the top adds in fantasy, Ellington has come down to Earth the past two games and is now in danger of missing Friday. Josh Jackson played very well last game with 22 points in 29 minutes and […]
Avery Bradley To Miss The Next 3-4 Weeks
Miami Heat guard Avery Bradley (calf) will miss the next three to four weeks with a strained right calf. Bradley has been in and out of the rotation for Miami, a team that hasn't been able to catch a break with injuries. Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson will likely pick up the slack on the wings, […]
D'Angelo Russell Remains Questionable Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) is questionable again Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Russell has been listed as questionable for the past few games as he is playing through a quad injury. However, this is turning into a LeBron James situation and does not appear in any danger of missing Friday. Russell is […]
Luguentz Dort Will Sit Against Minnesota
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) will miss Friday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dort left Wednesday's game shortly after it began with knee soreness and is already out ahead of Friday. This could be a lengthy absence which would mean a ton of minutes for Hamidou Diallo. Diallo was already starting for Shai […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Remains Out Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will miss his second straight game Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This sounds like a more serious injury than originally thought with Gilgeous-Alexander being ruled out more than a day in advance. Luguentz Dort (knee) and George Hill (thumb) are also out, so Theo Maledon and Hamidou Diallo […]
Payton Pritchard Upgraded To Questionable Friday
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (knee) has a chance to play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Pritchard has been sidelined since suffering an MCL sprain on January 22nd, but was upgraded to questionable on Friday. If Pritchard is close to playing, some sort of minutes restriction would be expected after the lengthy absence. Jeff […]
Jaylen Brown Questionable Friday Against Clippers
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable to play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Brown had 21 points in 34 minutes on Wednesday, but came up limping on a transition play and is being listed with knee soreness. The Celtics will need Brown if they are going to match up with Kawhi Leonard […]
David Nwaba Will Miss Third Straight Game Thursday
Houston Rockets guard David Nwaba (ankle) remains sidelined Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Nwaba had "a small chance) to play in this one, but will miss his third straight game with an ankle sprain. Jae'sean Tate has been starting but offers very little upside. Instead, Eric Gordon and Danuel House will continue to see wing […]
Anfernee Simons On 20-Minute Restriction Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hamstring) will be limited to around 20 minutes Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Simons is getting the start with Damian Lillard (abdomen) out, but had aggravated his hamstring in their last game Tuesday. Simons was playing well leading up to the injury, but is looking like a fade in […]
Ben Simmons Ruled Out Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (calf) will not play Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Simmons apparently had his calf tighten up Wednesday night and is not healthy enough to go in the back-to-back set. Head coach Doc Rivers did not name a replacement starter, but did mention he was leaning towards Tyrese Maxey. Shake […]
