Kevin Huerter Ruled Out for Wednesday's Preseason Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the New York Knicks. Huerter has been dealing with knee soreness throughout the preseason. However, he expects to be ready to play for the regular season opener. He's not an attractive option in most standard leagues, but Huerter has value […]

Devin Booker Will Play in Preseason Contest Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets. Booker sat out the last two preseason games due to rest, but he'll get in some minutes here. It's unclear how much Booker is going to play in this one. He'll have great upside in fantasy leagues, but may […]

Grayson Allen Will Start in Monday's Contest

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Dillon Brooks normally starts, but head coach Taylor Jenkins is making a switch here. Allen has played well as the sixth man in the preseason, but we'll see how he plays in the starting five. Fantasy […]

Draymond Green, D'Angelo Russell Will Rest Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (rest) and guard D'Angelo Russell (rest) will sit out of Monday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like both players are going to play on Wednesday, but sit out here. Stephen Curry will suit up on Monday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Marquese Chriss will […]

Kevon Looney, Alec Burks Remain Out on Monday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) and guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) will both sit out of Monday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Both players still aren't practicing, which is a bit concerning with the regular season fast approaching. Looney has some upside in fantasy leagues, so he's worth looking at, but Burks […]

Landry Shamet Exits Early on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Landry Shamet (wrist) exited early during Sunday's preseason contest. Head coach Doc Rivers downplayed the injury after the game. Rivers said that if it was the playoffs then Shamet would be out there, but there is no reason to push it in the preseason. Shamet should be fine, and is someone […]

Rodney Hood Will Sit Out Against Suns

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with back spasms, so the team is likely just being cautious here. Hood will battle Kent Bazemore for playing time in Portland. He'll be worth a look in deeper leagues, but that's about […]

Alec Burks is Making Progress

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) is making solid progress, but still remains out of practice. He sprained his right ankle about a week ago and still has yet to practice. Burks needs to play during camp to earn his spot in the rotation. The Warriors need depth guys like Burks, but it's hard […]

Jrue Holiday is Removed from Injury List

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (quad) has been removed from the injury report for Monday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Holiday did not play in Friday's contest due to a left quad contusion. Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker saw more minutes without Holiday on the court. It appears Holiday is fine, so […]

Kevin Huerter Gets Through Practice on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) was able to get through practice on Friday without any issues. He hasn't played in the preseason yet because of knee pain. There is a chance he gets out there for a game against the Heat on Monday. Huerter has some late round appeal in most formats, assuming he's […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out for Preseason Game on Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Batum exited early on Wednesday because of right Achilles soreness. There is no reason to believe that this is going to be a lingering injury for Batum. However, he's a veteran player on a rebuilding Hornets team. […]

Alec Burks Continues to Be Sidelined

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered right ankle sprain on Friday and hasn't suited up since then. The Warriors have little depth at the wing position, so Burks does have a path to minutes. However, health is always a concern […]

Kevin Huerter Unlikely to Play in Preseason

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Huerter has been dealing with a knee issue and is expected to miss most of the preseason. Deandre Bembry gets a chance for more minutes without Huerter on the court. Fantasy owners can go ahead and grab […]

Malik Monk Gets Into The Action on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (toe) will play during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Miami Heat. Monk missed the summer league, but is ready to show that he improved since last season. This very well could be his last chance to prove he can be an impact player in the NBA. The Hornets are desperate […]

Avery Bradley Working Out With the Starters

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has been working out with the starters during practice. Bradley normally plays shooting guard, but may shift to point guard this season. Bradley is a great defensive guard, so that alone may give him the edge in the competition. He's competing with veteran guard Rajon Rondo for the starting […]

Aaron Holiday Likely to Win Backup Guard Job

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday has a good shot at serving as the backup point guard for this upcoming season. Darren Collison (retirement) and Cory Joseph (free agency) are both gone, so that opens up playing time for Holiday. Victor Oladipo (knee) is out as well, so the Pacers are going to be looking for […]

Andre Roberson is Expected to Play Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's scrimmage. Roberson has been sidelined since January of 2018, so head coach Billy Donovan is going to limit him. Roberson is back to training camp and doing basketball activities. The Thunder aren't going to rush him back, so there will likely […]

Marcus Smart Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. Smart might miss a few preseason games, but this is nothing serious. Jaylen Brown and Smart are going to be fighting for a spot in the starting five. Regardless, Smart is going to have fantasy value either on the bench […]

Cam Reddish Plans to Play on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Cam Reddish (abdominal) plans to suit up for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was a full participant during Tuesday's first practice. The Hawks have made it clear that they plan on being careful with Reddish during the preseason. They plan on working him up to playing 30 minutes. He's […]

Kevin Durant Expected To Miss Entire Season

Newly acquired Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (Achilles) will not be playing this season, according to general manager Sean Marks. Durant tore his Achilles in the NBA Finals last year, but was rumored to make a possible return to the court at some point this upcoming season. Marks shot down this possibility, stating Durant would […]

Rockets Sign Ben McLemore

The Houston Rockets have signed guard Ben McLemore, who played in just 19 games for the Kings last season and averaged 3.9 points per game. While he did shoot 41.5 percent from three, McLemore is unlikely to play a key role on a Houston team that's looking to win a championship. If he makes it […]

Bucks Sign Kyle Korver

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed free agent guard Kyle Korver to a one-year deal. The veteran sharpshooter is a career 42.9 percent shooter from deep and gives the Bucks an important deep threat to help space the floor for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Korver will likely be decent minutes off the bench, though at his age he's […]

Justin Holiday Signs With Pacers

Free agent guard Justin Holiday has signed a one-year deal with the Indiana Pacers, where he joins his brother Aaron. Last year, Holiday split time between Chicago and Memphis, playing in 82 games with 77 starts and putting up averages of 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds on 38.6 percent shooting. Indiana's a better team and […]

Cavaliers Waive J.R. Smith

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived veteran guard J.R. Smith, clearing the way for Smith to join a contending team. Smith averaged 6.7 points and shot just 30.8 percent from the field last season, but played in just 11 games for Cleveland. A healthy Smith could be a decent bench piece for a playoff team, but […]

Alex Abrines And Timofey Mozgov Sign International Deals

At least two more NBA players won't be in the league this upcoming season, as guard Alex Abrines has signed with FC Barcelona and center Timofey Mozgov has signed with Khimki Moscow. Abrines played for the Thunder most recently, while Mozgov played for the Magic, though both players have recently been limited with injuries. Neither […]

Avery Bradley To Ink Deal To Join Lakers

Shooting guard Avery Bradley is expected to sign a two-year, $9.7 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers upon his clearing of waivers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The Grizzlies waived Bradley earlier in the summer, paving the way for the former NBA All-Defensive First Team selection to join a revamped Lakers roster. The […]

Danny Green Plans To Join The Lakers

Free-agent shooting guard/small forward Danny Green (Raptors) plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources said late on Friday. He was also being pursued by the Dallas Mavericks. The deal is reportedly for two years and $30 million. It isn't quite the member of the Toronto Raptors championship squad that they were looking for, […]

Suns Trade De'Anthony Melton and Josh Jackson to Grizzlies

The Phoenix Suns have just been swindled out of one of their better young assets in De'Anthony Melton for the sole reason of dumping Josh Jackson. Jackson, the former fourth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft has had troubles, on and off the court, and now finds himself in a new home with an […]

Naz Mitrou-Long Goes For 17 Points Against Former Squad

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Naz Mitrou-Long got his first taste of NBA action as a member of the Utah Jazz over the past two seasons, but went for 17 points against his former team Tuesday. With opportunities aplenty on the unproven Cavaliers roster, Mitrou-Long is eyeing a spot with his diverse offensive arsenal. He logged […]

Hollis Thompson Collects Team-High 18 Points

Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Hollis Thompson racked up the fouls (eight) during Tuesday’s Summer League defeat to the Miami Heat, but he also finished as the team’s leading scorer with 18 points in 24 minutes on 7-for-12 shooting. The 28-year-old Thompson is attempting to find his way back onto an NBA court for the […]
