Joel Embiid Won't Play Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The playoffs are getting closer which means that star players are going to rest more and that is the case here. Boban Marjanovic is expected to draw the start and be a solid DFS option without Embiid in the rotation.

Nemanja Bjelica is Listed as Out on Saturday

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica (illness) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Bjelica was unable to play in the second half of Thursday's game due to a stomach virus. Bogdan Bogdanovic should benefit the most without Bjelica in the lineup, but Harrison Barnes and Marvin Bagley could see some extra […]

Jonas Valanciunas is Probable for Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (abdominal) is probable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Grizzlies are playing in a back-to-back set, so the team may decide to rest Valanciunas on Sunday if he plays Saturday. Ivan Rabb and Bruno Caboclo would benefit if Valanciunas is forced to sit out.

Trevor Ariza Ruled Out for Friday

Washington Wizards forward Trevor Ariza (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Ariza continues to deal with lingering groin issues, so it's safe to assume he's going to be shut down for the season. Troy Brown Jr. and Jordan McRae are going to be worth a look with Ariza sidelined.

LeBron James is Probable for Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was unable to play in Wednesday's game, but did receive treatment, so it sounds like he's good to go now. He shouldn't be limited at all and fantasy owners can go ahead and plug him into […]

Reggie Bullock is Questionable for Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Reggie Bullock (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's been listed as questionable for the last two games with a right foot issue and hasn't played. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Lance Stephenson would see more minutes without Bullock in the rotation.

Darius Miller is Likely Done for the Season

New Orleans Pelicans forward Darius Miller (groin) is likely going to be sidelined the rest of the regular season. He suffered a Grade 1 adductor strain and will be sidelined one to two weeks. Christian Wood is going to see plenty of playing time thrown his way. Wood is worth owning in all standard leagues […]

Taurean Prince Ruled Out on Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Without Prince on the floor, Kevin Huerter and Kent Bazemore will be solid DFS options. Deandre Bembry is going to see extra minutes coming his way as well. Fantasy owners might want to consider dropping Prince at […]

Taj Gibson is Doubtful for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taj Gibson (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Gibson was active for Tuesday's game, but did not check in at all. He's dealing with a left calf strain, so maybe it started causing him pain, so he sat out. There is a chance that the […]

Jeremy Lamb is Probable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Lamb exited early during Tuesday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but appears well enough to play on Friday. Fantasy owners should check back on Friday for another update on his status.

Cody Zeller is Likely Done for the Season

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He wasn't able to practice on Thursday and likely won't get much time to practice during their current road trip. There is a good chance that the Hornets just shut him down for the season. Frank Kaminsky […]

Al Horford is Probable for Friday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Horford has been dealing with lingering knee issues lately, but it appears he'll give it a go on Friday. However, it's a back-to-back set, so we could see Horford sitting out on Saturday. Fantasy owners will have to […]

Kawhi Leonard Listed as Out on Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest, knee) has been listed as out for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The Raptors want to keep Leonard healthy for the playoffs, so they will probably rest him quite often down the stretch. Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell will see more minutes without Leonard in the rotation. […]

Kenneth Faried Ruled Out for Thursday

Houston Rockets center Kenneth Faried (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Faried has missed four out of the last five games due to a left knee issue. We could see the Rockets rest him a decent amount down the stretch. Danuel House and Gary Clark will see more minutes […]

Lauri Markkanen is Out for Rest of the Season

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the regular season. Markkanen missed the second half of Tuesday's game due to "an episode of a rapid heart rate and fatigue." The Bulls have no incentive to win, so they aren't going to risk Markkanen's health. Brandon Sampson and Cristiano […]

Patrick Beverley Ruled Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Tuesday's game after suffering a hip injury, so the Clippers are likely just playing it safe now. The Clippers have clinched a postseason spot, so no need to rush Beverley back to the court right […]

Landry Shamet Will Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed one game due to a left ankle issue, but appears fine now. He's not really going to be a fantasy option most nights, but Patrick Beverley (hip) is sitting out, so maybe Shamet gets a […]

Josh Richardson Listed as Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (heel) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat are 0.5 games out of the No. 8 seed, so now is not the time to lose Richardson. Goran Dragic should benefit the most in the absence of Richardson. Dwyane Wade and Dion Waiters will see […]

Harry Giles is Out on Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the fourth game in a row that Giles has been forced to sit out. Nemanja Bjelica, Marvin Bagley, and Willie Cauley-Stein will all benefit in the absence of Giles. Bagley is the best fantasy option […]

Justise Winslow is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (thigh) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Winslow has missed six games in a row due to a bruised right thigh and missed the most recent practice due to an illness. Goran Dragic, Dwyane Wade, and Dion Waiters would see increased playing time if Winslow […]

Josh Richardson is Questionable for Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Richardson is dealing with a bruised left heel, but the Heat are in must-win mode right now. He may decide to play through the pain to help the team, but we'll see what happens. Fantasy owners should check […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was able to practice some on Wednesday, but it's unclear if the Knicks feel ready to let him back on the court. Emmanuel Mudiay and Kadeem Allen have been playing more with Smith sidelined. Mudiay […]

Kevin Knox is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was forced to sit out of Sunday's game after tweaking his right ankle. However, he was able to fully practice on Wednesday, so he should be fine for Thursday.

Ben Simmons Will Play on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Simmons sat out of Monday's loss to Orlando because of an illness, but he appears fine now. T.J. McConnell will move back to the bench with Simmons returning on Thursday. Fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging Simmons into their […]

Anthony Davis is Probable for Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Davis missed Tuesday's game, but was called probable on Monday, so maybe the back issue isn't too serious. Fantasy owners will have to check back on Thursday for more information as Davis' status seems to change quite […]

Josh Jackson Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be the third game in a row that Jackson has missed due to this ankle issue. Mikal Bridges and Troy Daniels will soak up the extra minutes. Bridges is the better fantasy option between the two. […]

Trevor Ariza Ruled Out Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Trevor Ariza (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He played just seven minutes on Tuesday and left after aggravating his groin injury. There is a chance that Ariza is done for the season with this lingering groin issue. Troy Brown Jr. should start with Jeff Green […]

Kris Dunn Ruled Out for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It appears the Bulls are in full tank mode with Dunn, Zach LaVine (thigh), Otto Porter (rotator cuff) and Lauri Markkanen (illness) all sidelined on Wednesday. Ryan Arcidiacono will draw the start and see all the minutes […]

Otto Porter Won't Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. There is a good chance that Porter is done for the season with just seven games left after Wednesday. Wayne Selden should get another start and is someone worth considering in DFS contests.

Zach LaVine Won't Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks the fourth game in a row that LaVine has missed. The Bulls don't have much incentive to win, so they will likely be cautious with LaVine down the stretch. Shaquille Harrison should get another start […]
