Victor Oladipo Cold From Field During Blowout Win

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo went just 2-for-9 from the floor during his team’s victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday.

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet could not get his shot to drop on Friday when he connected on just 3-for-12 shooting, to score 11 points in the big loss to the Orlando Magic. VanVleet added two triples with just two assists and a block with a steal in 23 minutes of action. It looks […]

Khris Middleton Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton is questionable to suit up for Saturday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets due to a right quad contusion. The injury has only just popped up on the injury report, with Middleton having dropped 25 points Thursday versus New York. Should he be absent, expect an even bigger workload […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is listed as questionable for Saturday’s match-up against the Utah Jazz due to an illness. Hardaway was absent from New York’s previous contest, which led to Courtney Lee entering the starting lineup, who would presumably continue to see extended run should Hardaway miss Saturday’s game. The Jazz […]

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 45 points on 11-for-26 shooting in Thursday's win over the Boston Celtics. With point guard Chris Paul out, Harden continued to put the Rockets on his back, adding six assists, a block, and a pair of rebounds as well. Paul is set to miss at least another week with […]

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Barea will have short-term value once again until Matthews returns.

Victor Oladipo Expected to Be Fine for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (shoulder) tweaked his shoulder on Wednesday and did not go through parts of Thursday's practice. However, head coach Nate McMillan expects Oladipo to be ready for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

John Wall, Bradley Beal Expected to Play on Friday

Washington Wizards guards John Wall (rest) and Bradley Beal (illness) did not participate in Friday's shootaround, but are both expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It doesn't sound like either player is in danger of sitting out at all. Fantasy owners are safe to plug them into their fantasy lineups […]

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram tallied 22 points on 8-for-19 shooting from the floor, including 1-for-4 from beyond the arc, and 5-for-8 from the free throw line in Thursday's loss to the Kings.

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler posted 19 points with three steals but did not add much else to his line in the 17-point win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday.

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell connected on half of his 20 shot attempts to record a team-high 23 points, but it was not enough in the 114-97 loss to the 76ers on Thursday. Mitchell managed to add four rebounds with three assists and three steals while knocking down three makes from three. Mitchell had been […]

Wesley Matthews Is still Dealing With A Foot Injury

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews (foot) will not play against the Pelicans on Friday. The 32-year-old played through the injury on Wednesday, but it clearly hampered him as he produced eight points along with three rebounds, one assist, one steal and three turnovers in 28 minutes. The good news is that Dennis Smith Jr. […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Unable To Go On Thursday

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness) is unable to play versus the Bucks on Thursday. The 6-foot-6 wing missed today's shootaround and he is day-to-day going forward.

Frank Ntilikina is Expected to Play on Thursday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina is expected to rejoin the rotation for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach David Fizdale. Ntilikina did not play on Christmas, but should resume his normal role on Thursday. However, his normal role is likely just minutes in the teens. He's not worth looking at […]

David Nwaba, Rodney Hood Ruled Out Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guards David Nwaba (ankle) and Rodney Hood (Achilles) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. It's unclear how long Nwaba is going to be sidelined, so he belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues. Hood will miss his third straight game and the Cavs are going to continue […]

Allen Crabbe Ruled Out for Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was able to fully practice on Thursday, but Crabbe isn't ready for game action yet. Rodions Kurucs has been great as a fill-in and should steal away minutes from Crabbe when he returns.

James Harden Expected to Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (calf) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden suffered a left calf contusion during the Christmas Day game, but appears to be fine. He should continue to see heavy usage with Chris Paul (hamstring) sidelined. Fantasy owners should check back before tip-off just to be […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Misses Shootaround

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness) did not participate in shootaround and is a game-time decision for Thursday's game. Courtney Lee is expected to join the starting five if Hardaway is sidelined. Damyean Dotson should see more minutes coming his way as well. Fantasy owners will need to check back for an update.

Josh Hart Will Start on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. LeBron James (groin) will be sidelined for this contest and could be out multiple games. Both Hart and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will see an increase in playing time on Thursday.

Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker posted 35 points on 13 of 26 shooting from the floor in his club's double-overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
