Patrick McCaw To Ink Deal To Join Raptors
Shooting guard Patrick McCaw appears to have landed on his feet with a new club: the Toronto Raptors. He was waived by Cleveland on Sunday, quickly going from the worst team in the Eastern Conference by way of record, to the best. McCaw will be joining a jam-packed Toronto backcourt unit, so owners certainly shouldn’t […]
Gary Harris Tagged As Questionable For Thursday’s Contest
Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris has his status for Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers in doubt due to left hamstring tightness. Harris sat out Tuesday on the second leg of a back-to-back, but that appears to have been more than a rest day as he works his way back from an extended […]
Rodney Hood To Miss Third Straight Contest
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood will be unable to suit up for Wednesday’s game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to a left Achilles injury. Hood’s absence should pave the way for both Jordan Clarkson and Alec Burks to continue seeing all the shots that they can handle. Hood’s next chance for returning […]
J.J. Redick Remains Out On Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick will be on the bench for the second straight night versus the Washington Wizards, ruled out for Wednesday’s contest due to a back injury. Furkan Korkmaz will enter the starting lineup in his place and once again be an attractive DFS commodity due to his low price, but Landry […]
Devin Booker Ruled Out On Wednesday
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker will not suit up for Wednesday’s contest against the Dallas Mavericks due to a back injury. Booker was unable to go Tuesday as well, with Josh Jackson stepping into the starting lineup in his place and serving as a strong mid-level DFS play. Phoenix has gone 2-9 without Booker […]
J.J. Redick is Questionable for Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed Tuesday's game and it appears he's going to be a game-time decision for this one. Furkan Korkmaz drew the start on Tuesday, but Landry Shamet dropped 29 points off the bench and would be an interesting […]
Darren Collison is Questionable for Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Collison was listed as probable for Tuesday's game and was still able to play. It sounds like Collison is closer to probable, but fantasy owners should check back closer to game time just in case.
Luka Doncic is Questionable on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Doncic is dealing with a lower back strain, but it doesn't sound serious. He's only missed one game this season and it'll likely take more than a back strain to keep him sidelined. However, fantasy owners should check […]
Devin Booker is Questionable Against Mavericks
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Booker did not play on Tuesday and it's looking like he'll miss his second straight game on Wednesday. Josh Jackson would be in line to draw another start, while Troy Daniels should see increased minutes without Booker in […]
Jimmy Butler Returns From Two-Game Absence, Scores 20

Against the Sixers on Tuesday, Beal finished with 28 points on 11-for-18 shooting to go along with […]
Grayson Allen Getting Close to A Return
Utah Jazz guard Grayson Allen (ankle) is getting closer to a return to the court. Allen hasn't played since December 12 due to a sprained right ankle. Ricky Rubio (hamstring), Dante Exum (ankle) and Thabo Sefolosha (hamstring) are all sidelined, so Allen could find his way into the rotation. However, he'll most likely not be […]
Kevin Huerter is Probable on Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard /forward Kevin Huerter (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Huerter was downgraded to questionable on Tuesday after shootaround, but he must be feeling better on Wednesday. Jeremy Lin should return to the bench, assuming Huerter is able to play against the Nets.
Dillon Brooks Likely Done For The Season
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (toe) is expected to undergo a procedure on his right toe and likely miss the rest of the season. Brooks was only averaging minutes in the teens, so this shouldn't be a big blow to fantasy rosters. He can obviously be dropped in all formats now. Kyle Anderson and Justin […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out Tuesday As Expected
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) will not play Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Booker left Sunday's game with back spasms and has not been able to practice with the ailment.

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris will be on the sidelines for Tuesday’s contest with the Miami Heat, unable to play the second leg of a back-to-back due to a hamstring injury.
