Donte DiVincenzo is Questionable Against Nuggets
Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. DiVincenzo has picked up his play lately and is worth owning in most standard leagues. The Bucks would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if DiVincenzo is unable to play. Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver, and […]
Luka Doncic Could Be Sidelined Two Weeks
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) could be sidelined two weeks or more. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Thursday's practice. It's reportedly similar to the one he suffered earlier in the season. There's a good chance that fantasy owners won't have Doncic back until after the All-Star break. Jalen Brunson, Seth Curry, and […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. is Upgraded to Probable
Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard/small forward Paul George got back into action during Thursday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings, his first time taking the floor since a nine-game absence due to a hamstring injury.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is Questionable for Friday

Luka Doncic Won't Play Against Rockets
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't travel with the team for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He tweaked his ankle during practice on Thursday and will have an MRI on Friday.

Justise Winslow is Without A Timetable
Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) does not have a timetable for his return and is out indefinitely. Winslow hasn't been able to do any on-court work since going down with a back injury on January 8. He has only played in 11 games this season and it doesn't sound like he's going to play […]
Patrick McCaw is Upgraded to Probable
Toronto Raptors guard Patrick McCaw (nose) is upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was listed as questionable, but it appears McCaw is going to be back out there for this one.

James Harden is Questionable for Wednesday
Houston Rockets guard James Harden (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed each of the last two games due to a thigh issue. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Eric Gordon would see less playing time if Harden sits out. Gordon would be the best fantasy option out […]
Allen Crabbe Remains Unable to Practice
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Allen Crabbe (knee) was unable to suit up for practice on Tuesday or Wednesday. He continues to deal with a left patella subluxation in his left knee and is out indefinitely. Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie will be asked to pick up the slack while Crabbe is sidelined.
