Andrew Wiggins Officially Out Monday
Updating a previous note, Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) will miss his third straight game Monday. Wiggins went through shootaround with no setbacks and seemed on track to play, however he must have not looked great in warm ups and was ruled out against the Lakers. With Wiggins out again, Josh Okobie will remain […]
James Ennis Won't Play on Tuesday
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Ennis (hamstring) will remain on the sidelines for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Andre Iguodala is Probable for Monday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (calf) is probable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Iggy has been banged up all season and it's the second game of a back-to-back set. The Warriors are usually cautious with their players, so if Iggy does play he'll probably be limited. He's only an option in deeper […]
Dillon Brooks is Probable for Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Brooks has only missed one game this season, but continues dealing with a sore right foot. However, Kyle Anderson is ahead of him in the rotation, so Brooks doesn't have much fantasy value off the bench.
Wilson Chandler Remains Out on Monday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) will miss Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, but he could return soon. Head coach Brett Brown said that Chandler isn't "that far away" from returning to the court. However, Chandler likely isn't going to have enough playing time to be relevant in fantasy leagues.
James Harden Unlikely to be Cleared for Friday's Game
Houston Rockets guard James Harden (hamstring) remains unlikely to be cleared for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Harden is currently scheduled to be re-evaluated on Thursday.
