Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard returned after a two-game absence to record 28 points, but it was not enough in the loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Leonard added six rebounds with four assists and added a steal with four triples on the night. It took Leonard a bit of time […]
Kent Bazemore Provides A Solid Line In Friday's Loss
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore posted a decent line on Friday, but it was not enough in the 21-point loss to the Boston Celtics. Bazemore recorded 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting with two triples to go along with seven assists and two steals while grabbing three rebounds. Consistency has been an issue for […]
Khris Middleton And Malcolm Brogdon Out Versus Cavs
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton (finger) and point guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) will not play versus the Cavaliers on Friday. While both players are not expected to be out long, Tony Snell and Pat Connaughton will replace them on the first unit in a very favorable matchup tonight. Connaughton is a viable DFS […]
Zach LaVine Doubtful; Chandler Hutchison Questionable For Friday
Chicago Bulls point guard/shooting guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is unlikely to play against the Spurs on Saturday while shooting guard/small forward Chandler Hutchison (illness) is slated to be a game-time decision. LaVine, who played 40 minutes on Thursday, said he heard a pop in his ankle on the last play of the game versus the […]
Jimmy Butler Unable To Go On Friday
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Jimmy Butler (groin) will not suit up on Friday against the Pacers on Friday. This will be the second straight game that Butler will miss and he is considered to be day-to-day, although there is a good chance that he will be able to play on Sunday, according to coach Brett […]
Allen Crabbe Is Out Friday
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe (knee) will not play versus the Wizards on Friday. Crabbe, who has been playing better since being inserted into the starting lineup, is not expected to miss much time as the injury is reportedly a result of banging knees. Spencer Dinwiddie should replace him in the starting lineup while […]
Gordon Hayward Expected to Be Available on Friday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) is not on the injury report and is expected to play in Friday's game. He's missed the last two games due to an illness, but it appears he's healthy enough to play. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time just to make sure.
Reggie Bullock Expected to Play on Saturday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock has missed five straight games due to a left ankle sprain. Stanley Johnson, Luke Kennard, and Langston Galloway will lose some playing time with Bullock likely returning.
Brandon Ingram Ruled Out for Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He injured his ankle on Wednesday and hasn't played since then. Kyle Kuzma has been on fire lately, so expect him to see increased playing time. Kuzma is a solid bet for fantasy formats while Ingram is […]
Jeremy Lin is Available on Friday
Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) is available for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's missed the last two games due to a back issue, but it appears that Lin is healthy enough to return to the court. Tyler Dorsey should see less playing time with Lin returning, but neither are reliable fantasy options.
Damyean Dotson Ruled Out for Friday
New York Knicks guard Damyean Dotson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was listed as questionable on the injury report, but apparently he's been ruled out. The Knicks are banged up and will be shorthanded for this contest. Courtney Lee and Frank Ntilikina should see plenty of minutes […]
Dwyane Wade is Questionable on Friday
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear how significant this illness is at the moment, so fantasy owners will likely have to wait until closer to game time. Wayne Ellington, Rodney McGruder, and Tyler Johnson (hip) would see extra minutes with Wade sidelined.
Tyler Johnson is Probable on Friday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Johnson drew the start for Goran Dragic (knee) on Wednesday, but scored just three points. Dragic won't play on Friday, so Johnson is in line for another start. However, Johnson has not been consistent, so he should be […]
James Harden Scores 50 Against Lakers
Houston Rockets guard James Harden exploded for 50 points on 14-for-26 shooting in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Harden also recorded a triple-double, finishing with 10 rebounds and 11 assists. He was 4-for-12 from three and 18-for-19 from the free throw line.

DeMar DeRozan Has 14 Points In Spurs Win
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan settled for 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Thursday's 125-87 win over the Clippers. He also had seven assists and four rebounds. DeRozan has been quiet offensively in the last couple of games, combining only 19 points. With that said, he'll be in a great spot to get […]
Zach LaVine Scores 23 Points With Six Turnovers
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine continued his much improved efficient scoring as dropped 23 points on the Orlando Magic in Mexico City on Thursday.

Trevor Ariza is Expected to Start on Thursday
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Trevor Ariza (personal) is expected to start in Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ariza sat out of Tuesday's game, but head coach Igor Kokoskov said it was a precautionary move. It sounds like Ariza will be fine for Thursday's contest.
Yogi Ferrell Will See Increased Playing Time
Sacramento Kings guard Yogi Ferrell is expected to see increased playing time, according to head coach Dave Joerger. Ferrell was impressive on Wednesday, he dropped 17 points in 16 minutes off the bench. It's unclear how much more playing time Ferrell will receive, but it's unlikely he sees minutes in the mid-20s. The most likely […]
Allonzo Trier Signs Two-Year Deal With Knicks
New York Knicks guard/forward Allonzo Trier (hamstring) has reportedly signed a two-year deal with the Knicks. Trier's two-way deal was expiring, so the Knicks had to make a decision on his contract. He's averaging 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists this season, so he's not exactly a great fantasy option. Trier could be someone worth […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Drops 20 Points Off Bench
Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic continued to fill it up off the bench during Wednesday’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The performance marked Bogdanovic’s fifth 20-point outing this year, while also tying his season high with six assists.
