Chris Paul Back in the Starting Five on Friday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (suspension) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Paul is expected to take on a bigger role now that James Harden (hamstring) is sidelined. Paul should see his usage rate skyrocket without Harden on the court. Michael Carter-Williams will head back to […]

Andrew Wiggins is Questionable for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) is questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Wiggins was close to playing on Wednesday, but did end up sitting out. Josh Okogie would start if Wiggins is unable to unable to play once again. There should be another update after shootaround on Friday.

Delon Wright Does Not Practice Thursday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) did not practice on Thursday and has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He tweaked his groin on Wednesday, so the Raptors are going to play it safe. This issue continues to linger, so he's not going to be a fantasy asset anywhere. Fred […]

Carmelo Anthony Could Start on Friday

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony could draw the start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. James Ennis (hamstring) is still out and James Harden (hamstring) is most likely going to miss time. The Rockets are running out of options, so Melo could be their short-term solution. He would be forced into heavy minutes with […]

Justise Winslow is Considered Questionable for Saturday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was expected to make his season debut on Wednesday, but was a late scratch. It sounds like his hamstring is still bothering him, so it's unclear if he'll play on Saturday. He doesn't have much fantasy upside, […]

Kevin Love Ruled Out on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (foot) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Love was forced to miss a few preseason games with a foot issue and it's still lingering around in the regular season. The Cavs are most likely going to be cautious with Love, and make sure he's 100 […]

James Harden Does Not Practice on Thursday

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Harden is headed for an MRI and is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Head coach Mike D'Antoni believes the issue is more of a strain than tightness. This means that Harden could be looking at missing multiple […]

Bobby Portis Expected to Miss Several Weeks

Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (knee) is expected to miss several weeks after undergoing an MRI on Thursday. The team is calling the injury a sprained MCL, and he's looking at missing around four weeks. The exact timetable is not set, but four weeks was an estimate for the moment. Jabari Parker is most likely […]

Sammy Watkins Is A WR3 Versus Denver

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins has put together a fairly decent season so far. It appears a change of scenery has helped Watkins, but he still remains the third option behind Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Watkins production is boom-or-bust at times which hurts his fantasy value. The Broncos have a reliable secondary, […]

Travis Kelce Remains A Reliable Option

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been reliable each and every week since his Week 1 dud. Fantasy owners couldn't really ask more of Kelce, especially this season where tight ends haven't been that great. Kelce has not caught a touchdown since Week 4 versus the Broncos. Luckily for him, the Chiefs are […]

Tyreek Hill Looks to Continue TD Streak

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has scored four touchdowns over the last two weeks. He's heading into a matchup against the Broncos defense that he saw a season-high 13 targets against in Week 4. Hill has seen double digit targets in two straight weeks and that should stay the same this week. Quarterback […]

Kareem Hunt Should Run Wild in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has been on fire lately and should continue his solid work in Week 8 versus Denver. The last time Hunt played Denver, he rushed for 121 yards and scored a touchdown in Week 4. Hunt has been tough to stop the last few weeks with the Chiefs getting […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains QB1 Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been almost impossible to stop this season. He's thrown 22 touchdowns with just five interceptions heading into Week 8 versus the Broncos. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards in each week since Week 1. Mahomes threw for 304 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 versus Denver. […]

Garrett Temple is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Garrett Temple (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was called probable, but now it's unclear what his current status is at the moment. Temple has been playing 35.0 minutes per game over the last two contests. Wayne Selden is most likely going to start if Temple is […]

Dillon Brooks Ruled Out on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He did some conditioning and should be back in the lineup soon. JaMychal Green (jaw) and Chandler Parsons (knee) will also be watching from the sideline. Omri Casspi and Wayne Selden should see at least 20 minutes each […]

Klay Thompson is Available Against Wizards

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (ankle) is available to play against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. He was listed as probable and it sounds like he'll be able to suit up for this one. Thompson has not played well to start the season, but it's early. Hopefully he's full healthy and able to get […]

Ben Simmons Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons was not able to practice on Monday and didn't play in Tuesday's game. There is a good chance he's not going to suit up for this contest. Landry Shamet could jump into the starting five again, but he didn't […]

Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear how Shumpert suffered the injury, but he could take the night off to rest. Yogi Ferrell would likely return to the starting five and Justin Jackson would see extra run as well. Neither player is a […]

Cameron Payne Will Start Against Hornets

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Kris Dunn (knee) is out four-to-six weeks, so it sounds like Payne is going to jump in that role. Payne is expected to split time with Ryan Arcidiacono. Tyler Ulis and Shaquille Harrison could get involved as well. This […]

Jabari Parker is Questionable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He didn't go through shootaround and could sit this one out due to an upper respiratory infection. Bobby Portis would see all the minutes he could handle if Parker does not play. Portis would be an excellent DFS option without […]

Alex Len is Starting Against Mavericks

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (elbow) will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Len was listed as probable with an elbow issue on Tuesday. Clearly it's nothing serious because he's in the starting five for this one. However, Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is back in the rotation, so Len is […]

Hassan Whiteside Will Play on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (groin) is not listed on the injury report and will play in Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Whiteside sat out of Monday's practice, but was never expected to miss any time. There is no official word that Whiteside is playing, but it's safe to assume he'll be good […]

Andrew Wiggins Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) is still questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wiggins felt better after shootaround, but his status still remains uncertain. Wiggins said he was planning to play on Wednesday after exiting early during Monday's contest. This is likely something that is going […]

Delon Wright Will Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) will make his regular season debut on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wright is likely going to be limited in his first game back. It's unclear what kind of role he's going to have once he's fully healthy. Wright could take away playing time from Fred Vanvleet and […]

Dewayne Dedmon Expected to Play 15 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is expected to play around 15 minutes in his season debut on Wednesday. The Hawks are going to ease Dedmon back into things, so Alex Len will remain in the starting five. Len has been inconsistent this season, so Dedmon should begin taking away Len's minutes soon. Dedmon will […]

Harrison Barnes is Hopeful to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) is hopeful that he'll be able to make his season debut against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Barnes has been heading in the right direction lately and should be good to go unless he suffers a setback. Dorian Finney-Smith would head to the bench when Barnes returns. It's unclear […]

Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are doubtful for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Jones missed practice on Monday and was limited on Tuesday. Ellington continues to work his way back from an ankle issue. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Ellington would need to get through a full practice […]

Justise Winslow is Available on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He's been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for roughly a month. He averaged 7.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists last season. He's most likely going to have his minutes limited during his first game back. Winslow […]

James Johnson Practices on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (groin) was able to practice on Tuesday, but has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Johnson has been able to practice two days in a row. However, he's not quite 100 percent yet, so the Heat are going to be cautious and hold him out of […]

Delon Wright is On Track to Play Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright (groin) is on track to play in Wednesday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Wright was able to practice on Tuesday, but it's still unclear if he'll be ready to go by tip-off on Wednesday. Fred Vanvleet is going to lose playing time and value […]
