RJ Barrett Likely To Be Ready After The All-Star Break

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (ankle) should be ready to play after the All-Star break, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. The organization believes Barrett is close, but wants to let him rest through the break. Quentin Grimes has surprisingly played very well in the absence of Barrett. It'll be interesting to see how […]

Jimmy Butler Expected To Play Versus Hornets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) is expected to play during Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He will warm up with the intention of playing, so he should be out there unless he suffers a last second setback. It doesn't sound like the Heat are too worried about the injury. Otherwise, they'd hold out […]

Daniel Gafford Returning Versus Nets

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He hasn't played since Feb. 5, so fantasy managers should expect Gafford to be limited with his minutes. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is likely to return after the All-Star break. That being said, Gafford might not […]

DeMarcus Cousins Uncertain For Wednesday

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully nothing serious. He has been a decent backup center in Denver, but doesn't provide much fantasy value. Zeke Nnaji (hamstring) has already been ruled out for this […]

Dennis Schroder To Start On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will take over for Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) on Wednesday. Despite starting, Schroder is a risky DFS option. The Rockets have no long term plans for […]

Gary Payton II Moves Into Starting Five On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Jonathan Kuminga has looked solid in the starting unit lately, so this move is a bit odd. Regardless, Payton will get the nod, but isn't much of a fantasy asset. It's unlikely that Payton does […]

Alex Caruso Could Resume Shooting Soon

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) is expected to resume shooting and dribbling within the next week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He has been doing some conditioning drills, but isn't close to returning to the court. The assumption is that Caruso is still a month away from returning. Fantasy managers should consider stashing […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Won't Play Versus Suns

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are going to be shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also sidelined. Dennis Schroder (Achilles) is likely to see a bigger role in the rotation, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Josh Christopher should be asked […]

Christian Wood Won't Play Against Suns

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out as a precaution. Alperen Sengun will move into the starting five for Wednesday's contest. He'll be a fantastic streaming option and someone worth looking […]

Fred Vanvleet Won't Play Against Minnesota

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. VanVleet is still expected to participate in All-Star weekend, but will sit this game out as a precaution. Pascal Siakam is expected to run the offense with Vanvleet sidelined. He'll be a strong fantasy option without Vanvleet on […]

Javonte Green Will Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Javonte Green (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was tagged as questionable earlier in the day, but played 35 minutes on Monday. Zach LaVine (knee) is sidelined through the All-Star break, so Green should have a significant role. DeMar DeRozan will continue to have his value […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Return After All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) visited with a knee specialist earlier in the week. The appointment went well and LaVine is supposed to return after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Fans shouldn't expect LaVine to participate in All-Star weekend, but we'll see what happens. Until his return, DeMar DeRozan will […]

Derrick Rose Not Cleared For Contact

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has not been cleared for contact, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Rose has been making progress, but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. He's obviously going to be sidelined until the All-Star break, but hopefully he can return shortly after that. Rose wasn't a great fantasy asset […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Cleared To Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been cleared for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was uncertain for this game heading into the day, but he'll make his 12th straight appearance on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has moved to the bench, but it has only improved his fantasy value. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable putting […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play Versus Pistons

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't too shocking considering Smart suffered a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game. Derrick White has already been announced as the starter in place of Smart. He could be a cheap DFS option for Wednesday's slate. Payton […]

Robert Williams III Ruled Out For Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He wasn't able to play on Tuesday and will miss his second game in a row here. Grant Williams should slide into the starting five once again on Wednesday. Although, Al Horford is the better fantasy option […]

Rui Hachimura Won't Play Against Pacers

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Hachimura is dealing with a right ankle sprain, so the Wizards have elected to sit him out for this one. Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are likely to see increased playing time with Hachimura sidelined. Avdija is the […]

Isaiah Jackson Ruled Out On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This marks the third game in a row that Jackson has missed due to a right ankle sprain. The hope is that Jackson will be able to return after the All-Star break. Until then, fantasy managers should expect […]

Monte Morris Returning On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (head) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He missed each of the last three games while following the league's concussion protocol guidelines. His returns means Bones Hyland will head back to the second unit. He won't have much fantasy upside off the bench. Also, Facundo […]

Dennis Schroder, Kevin Porter Jr. Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets guards Dennis Schroder (Achilles) and Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are in danger of being extremely shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also questionable for this game. Jalen Green would likely see all the minutes and opportunities he can handle, assuming Schroder […]

Robert Williams III Doubtful For Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (calf) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Williams sat out on Tuesday and the Celtics had no issues handling the Philadelphia 76ers. Grant Williams is expected to start in place on Williams again on Wednesday. Although, Al Horford is the better fantasy option between […]

Davion Mitchell Might Miss Wednesday's Game

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He appears to be a new addition to the injury report due to right hand soreness. His absence would mean an increased workload for De'Aaron Fox. Also, Donte DiVincenzo and Justin Holiday would likely see more playing time. […]

Marcus Smart Unlikely To Play Versus Pistons

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't shocking considering Smart only played 13 minutes on Tuesday before exiting with a right ankle sprain. Derrick White would likely slide into the starting five and have possible DFS value on Wednesday. Aaron Nesmith and Payton […]

Anthony Edwards Might Sit Out Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This isn't surprising considering Edwards only lasted 18 minutes on Tuesday before exiting and not returning. Jalen McDaniels started in the third quarter and put together a solid outing. He finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 […]

Christian Wood Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like both Wood and Kevin Porter Jr. have come down with an illness over the last day. The Rockets might take the cautious approach and hold them out in this game. However, fantasy managers are likely […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has been dealing with left ankle soreness, but was able to play 29 minutes on Tuesday. However, the Hawks could look to rest Bogdanovic against the struggling Magic. Lou Williams and Delon Wright stand to gain the […]

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Out On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This doesn't come as a surprise since this is the last game before the All-Star break. The hope is that Brogdon will be able to return after the break. However, the Pacers haven't announced a timetable for Brogdon's […]

Ja Morant Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He sat out of Tuesday's game due to left ankle soreness, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sit again. Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton stand to gain the most value, assuming Morant sits out. Melton […]

Anthony Edwards To Miss The Rest Of Tuesday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He suffered a right ankle sprain during the second quarter of Tuesday's game. Edwards returned to the bench, but has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Jalen McDaniels started in the third […]

Luke Kennard Active On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (ankle) will play during Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's surprising to see Kennard returning here after sitting out on Monday. His return will likely hurt the fantasy value of Terance Mann. Although, Mann should still be able to do enough to warrant starting in most formats. Amir […]
