Zach LaVine Will Miss Next Two Games

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) will return to Chicago and miss the next two games after suffering a left ankle injury. LaVine hurt his ankle on Thursday, but downplayed the severity of the injury. It's unclear how serious this injury is, but he's returning to Chicago to have it examined. The Bulls will likely […]

Kelvin Benjamin Hauls in One Reception

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was basically non-existent in the 29-28 loss to the Chargers. Benjamin caught one of his two targets for 17 yards on Thursday. The Chiefs brought in Benjamin as depth after cutting Kareem Hunt and Sammy Watkins (foot) has been unable to play lately. It doesn't appear that Benjamin […]

Chris Conley is Quiet in Defeat

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has not been able to take advantage of his opportunity over the last two games. Conley was shut down by the Chargers on Thursday and has lost pretty much all his fantasy value. Conley caught two passes for 19 yards in the 29-28 loss to the Chargers. Conley […]

Tyreek Hill is Held in Check

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was held in check for his lowest amount of yards this season by the Chargers in Week 15. Hill caught four of his seven targets for 46 yards and was unable to find the end zone during the 29-28 loss. Hill could've had a 43-yard touchdown, but dropped […]

Travis Kelce Plays Well in Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce ended his touchdown streak at three games after failing to find the end zone in the loss to the Chargers on Thursday. Kelce caught seven of his nine targets for 61 yards in the 29-28 loss. It was not a bad day for Kelce, but he finished with […]

Damien Williams Scores Two Touchdowns on Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was the lead back for Thursday's game versus the Chargers because Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) was unable to play. Williams rushed 10 times for 49 yards and two touchdowns with six receptions for 74 yards through the air. Williams has scored three touchdowns in the last two games, […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Two TDs in Defeat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes pushed his multiple touchdown streak to nine games during Thursday's loss to the Chargers. Mahomes finished 24-for-34 with 243 passing yards and two touchdowns and zero interceptions. It was a fairly solid game for Mahomes, but he's clearly missing the production from Sammy Watkins and Kareem Hunt. The Chiefs […]

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 […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is Expected to Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks, according to head coach James Borrego. MKG missed Wednesday's game, but it looks like he'll only miss one game. He's averaging just 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists this season. MKG is only worth a […]

Hassan Whiteside Will Return on Friday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) returned to the team and practiced on Thursday. He will play in Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after missing the last four games due to the birth of his child. He's expected to play his normal minutes and Bam Adebayo will move to the second unit. It's safe […]

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.

Jabari Parker is Dropped From The Rotation

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker has been dropped from the Bulls rotation, according to Malika Andrews. Parker played just four minutes on Thursday and obviously wasn't able to do much with such limited playing time. Parker doesn't expect to be out of the rotation forever, but it's unclear when he'll return. The Bulls are finally […]

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.

Justise Winslow is Expected to Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Winslow played on Wednesday, but finished with just nine points. However, Winslow was on fire before that contest, so hopefully he can stay hot. He'll be someone worth looking at as a cheap option in DFS contests.

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 […]

Kawhi Leonard is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Leonard participated in Friday's shootaround, but remains questionable with a bruised right hip. He's missed two straight games and looks like he could sit out a third contest. Fred Vanvleet has started when Leonard is sidelined and played fairly […]

Maximilian Kleber is Questionable for Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He played 17 minutes on Wednesday, so it doesn't sound like the injury is too serious. However, the Mavs want to be cautious because of the fact it's a back-to-back set. Dirk Nowitzki is expected to play on Thursday, so […]

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.

Jonas Valanciunas Expected to Miss Weeks

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) has been diagnosed with a dislocated thumb and is expected to miss multiple weeks. There is no timetable for Valanciunas at the moment, but that should be available soon. Serge Ibaka and Greg Monroe will be asked to do more without Valanciunas available. Chris Boucher has been called up, […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Could Return on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) could return for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He sat out on Wednesday, but it sounds like Smith is getting close to a return. Jalen Brunson will return to the bench once Smith is healthy enough to play. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Returns to Practice on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) did not play in Wednesday's game due to personal reasons. However, MKG is back at practice on Thursday and expected to play in Friday's game against the Knicks. MKG doesn't have much fantasy value right now besides in deeper leagues.

Kyle O'Quinn is Questionable for Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Kyle O'Quinn (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pacers normally don't use O'Quinn when everyone is healthy, so it's unlikely this changes too much. Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis could see a few more minutes if O'Quinn sits out.

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 […]

DeMarcus Cousins Might Not Play Until January

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) might not make his season debut until January or February, according to Greg Papa. "The feeling that I got from being around it last night, DeMarcus is not nearly as close as we think he is," said Papa. The Warriors have not given a timetable for Cousins and […]

Travis Kelce is Elite TE1 for Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caught four touchdowns over the last three games. He should continue to succeed versus the Chargers in Week 15. Kelce was held in check versus the Chargers in Week 1. They kept Kelce to just one catch for six yards, but that isn't going to happen again. […]

Chris Conley Should Rebound Versus Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has seen his fantasy value increase over the last month due to Sammy Watkins (foot) being sidelined. Sadly, Conley only caught two passes for 13 yards last week, but he should rebound against the Chargers on Thursday. The Chiefs basically have no running game with Spencer Ware (hamstring, […]
