Tyler Johnson Ruled Out on Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Suns are likely going to be cautious here without much incentive to win. De'Anthony Melton is expected to soak up a majority of the playing time. He's someone worth looking at in deep leagues.

Darren Collison is Questionable on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He suffered a right quad contusion and sat out of Tuesday's contest. Cory Joseph should draw another start if Collison is unable to play. Tyreke Evans and Doug McDermott would see more minutes off the bench.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Ruled Out on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. MKG suffered a concussion during Tuesday's game and won't be allowed to play until he passes the league's concussion protocol testing. Frank Kaminsky and Mikal Bridges are going to see extra playing time in his absence.

Aron Baynes Expected to Miss Weekend Set

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain and is expected to miss the upcoming back-to-back set this weekend. However, general manager Danny Ainge downplayed the injury and believes it's just a day-to-day issue. Daniel Theis will soak up the extra minutes with Baynes sidelined. Theis is worth adding in deep […]

Gordon Hayward Should Return This Weekend

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (concussion) is expected to return to action this weekend, according to general manager Danny Ainge. Hayward must clear the league's concussion protocol before being allowed to return to action. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Morris have been playing more without Hayward. They will go back to their normal roles in the […]

Otto Porter Expects to Play Again This Season

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) has missed the last two games due to a right rotator cuff strain, but does expect to suit up again this season. Head coach Jim Boylen said that Porter is likely going to sit out a few more games. Fantasy owners should consider Porter doubtful for Saturday's contest. However, […]

Robert Covington Won't Play Again This Season

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington (knee) has been shut down for the rest of the regular season. He was making progress and hoping to return for the last few games of the season. It appears the Wolves are going to take the cautious approach and let him sit out. Josh Okogie is going to continue […]

Derrick Rose, Jeff Teague Done for The Season

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (elbow) and Jeff Teague (foot) have officially been ruled out for the rest of the regular season. Both players have been dealing with nagging injuries, so this isn't a surprising move by the Wolves. Tyus Jones is going to see a heavy workload. He's someone worth adding in standard leagues […]

Nerlens Noel is Questionable on Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was limited during Tuesday's practice and during shootaround as well. It sounds like Noel is likely going to sit this one out. Markieff Morris would see extra minutes coming his way if Noel is unable to […]

Kyle Lowry Won't Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Raptors have little incentive to play Lowry at anything less than 100 percent. At this point, Lowry should be considered questionable for Friday's contest. Fred Vanvleet will draw the start at point guard and is someone […]

Kenneth Faried is Questionable for Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Kenneth Faried (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Faried is dealing with left knee soreness, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rockets let him sit this one out and rest. Gary Clark should see a few extra minutes coming his way without Faried. Clint […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out for Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He will miss two straight games due to a minor ankle issue, but fantasy owners shouldn't be too worried. Ersan Ilyasova, D.J. Wilson, and Pat Connaughton should pick up the most minutes as a result to Antetokounmpo sitting […]

Larry Nance Jr. is Available on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (ribs) is available for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is expected to return after suffering a ribs contusion and missed five games. Marquese Chriss and Ante Zizic will see less playing time as a result to this. It doesn't sound like Nance is going to be limited, […]

Otto Porter is Out on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Porter suffered a right rotator cuff strain and could be sidelined for multiple games. The Bulls don't have much incentive to get Porter on the court, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him out for a bit. […]

Zach LaVine is Probable for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thigh) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was able to go through shootaround and is now probable for this contest. Otto Porter (shoulder) is sidelined, so LaVine will see an increase in usage. LaVine looks like a safe fantasy option in all formats on […]

Maximilian Kleber Ruled Out on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kleber is dealing with a left wrist sprain, but the good news is that it's on his non-shooting hand. There is a chance that he's able to get out there for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. […]

Joel Embiid Expected to Play on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was rested on Tuesday versus the Hornets, but is not even on the injury report for Wednesday. Amir Johnson should head back to the second unit and the Sixers starters will lose some usage with Embiid […]

Nikola Mirotic is Likely Out A Month

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (thumb) is dealing with a slight fracture in his left thumb and is expected to miss two to four weeks of action. Fantasy owners without an open IR spot can go ahead and cut Mirotic at this point. Ersan Ilyasova and D.J. Wilson are likely going to split up the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Questionable on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Antetokounmpo sat out of Tuesday's game due to a right ankle sprain. This could be a game time call since Antetokounmpo won't be able to test his ankle until his pregame routine. Fantasy owners should check back after […]

Ersan Ilyasova is Probable on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks could be shorthanded with Nikola Mirotic (thumb) out and Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) questionable for this one. Ilyasova will likely get the start if he's healthy enough to suit up. Fantasy owners should check back closer to […]

Darren Collison is Doubtful for Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (quad) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Collison suffered a right quad contusion during Monday's game. This is a back-to-back set, so the Pacers are likely going to take the cautious approach here. Cory Joseph is expected to start without Collison in the lineup. […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out for Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the fourth game in a row that Smith has been unable to suit up. Emmanuel Mudiay is expected to draw the start and he played fantastic on Sunday, but finished with just seven points […]

Noah Vonleh is Doubtful for Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Vonleh has been sidelined the last two games due to a right ankle issue. Mario Hezonja has been drawing the starts and playing fairly decent there, so that's likely what is going to happen again on Wednesday.

Derrick Favors is Probable for Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Favors left Monday's game after playing just 12 minutes and was unable to return due to right hamstring soreness. The good news is that Favors is listed as probable, so that means it's likely a minor issue. […]

Otto Porter is Doubtful for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Porter suffered a right rotator cuff strain on Sunday and was unable to play in Monday's game. The Bulls don't have much incentive to win, so Porter will likely remain sidelined on Wednesday. Shaquille Harrison started on Monday while Antonio […]

Kyle Lowry is Questionable on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lowry is dealing with a minor ankle injury, but the Raptors might take the cautious approach and let Lowry rest a few games. Fred Vanvleet and Jeremy Lin would see increased playing time. VanVleet is the better […]

Gordon Hayward Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Hayward has missed due to a concussion. Hayward must pass the league's concussion protocol testing before he can return to the court. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Morris will benefit […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Won't Play on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jackson hasn't played since mid-February and the Grizzlies have already been eliminated from the postseason. There is a good chance that Memphis decides to rest Jackson for the rest of the season. Ivan Rabb and Joakim Noah […]

Avery Bradley is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Avery Bradley (knee, wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Bradley is dealing with a sore knee and sore wrist and the Grizzlies have already been eliminated from the postseason. They don't have much of an incentive to get Bradley out there at less than 100 percent, so expect […]

Jrue Holiday Ruled Out for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (abdomen) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Pelicans have less than ten games left this season, so there's a good chance that Holiday is done for the season. Frank Jackson will remain in the starting five and is a decent deep league fantasy […]
