Zach LaVine Out Versus Philly
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) won't play during Sunday's matchup against the 76ers. LaVine will now miss his second consecutive contest because of back spasms. With Lonzo Ball (knee), Alex Caruso (wrist), and Derrick Jones Jr. already out as well as Coby White (hip) labeled a game-time decision, the Bulls will undoubtedly be short-handed. […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoD'Angelo Russell Active On Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) will return on Sunday versus the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old missed his previous four games because of a bruised left shin. Fortunately, Russell isn't expected to have a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers can start him with confidence against one of the worst teams in the league.
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoPaul Millsap Remains Out On Sunday
Brooklyn Nets forward Paul Millsap (personal) won't play on Sunday in Denver, as expected. The veteran remains out while the team looks to move him ahead of the February 10th trade deadline, so it's likely he has already played his final game in Brooklyn. However, with LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) both out, […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoLaMarcus Aldridge Remains Out Versus Denver
Brooklyn Nets forward LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) won't play versus the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. Aldridge injured his left ankle during the first outing of the team's five-game road trip, although head coach Steve Nash remains optimistic he may return before the All-Star break. Nevertheless, Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is also out, so Day'Ron Sharpe, James Johnson, […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoNicolas Claxton Out With A Hamstring Issue Against Denver
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) isn't available for Sunday's contest versus the Denver Nuggets. Claxton tweaked his left hamstring during Friday's bout in Utah, relegating him to only five minutes of action. With the Nets also down Paul Millsap (personal) and LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle), Day'Ron Sharpe, James Johnson, and Blake Griffin should handle things […]

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. The former MVP continues to deal with nagging left hamstring tightness, an injury that's caused him problems since last season.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) began practicing with his teammates on Saturday. The sophomore hasn't played this season as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoIvica Zubac Questionable Against The Defending Champs
Los Angeles Lakers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable for Sunday's meeting against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's missed his previous two games with right calf soreness, so if he can't go, Serge Ibaka will likely see an increase in playing time and possibly production. Ibaka had 20 points and eight boards against the Lakers on […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoMaxi Kleber Could Miss Second Consecutive Outing
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) has been labeled as questionable moving toward Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Kleber is currently dealing with fluid in his left knee, an ailment that forced him to miss a game already. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) already ruled out, Dwight Powell, who had 14 points, five rebounds, and […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoFurkan Korkmaz Questionable Ahead Of Meeting With Chicago
Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's showdown with the Bulls. Korkmaz has missed his previous three games because of left knee soreness. Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is also questionable, so if neither man can give it a go against Chicago, Danny Green will surely see an uptick in playing time (and […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoMatisse Thybulle Dealing With Shoulder Soreness
Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup in Chicago. He's currently dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, and with Furkan Korkmaz (knee) carrying the same designation, Danny Green and Isaiah Joe may see some more work against the Bulls, although Green should be the preferred fantasy option between the […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoAustin Rivers Expected To Play On Sunday
Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers (hip) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, although it doesn't appear to be too serious. Nonetheless, Rivers is averaging only 6.4 points this season, so his presence likely won't mean much or impact […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoIsaiah Jackson Out On Sunday
Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland. Jackson tweaked his right ankle during Wednesday's bout against the Orlando Magic and could miss more time moving forward. Nonetheless, if Domantas Sabonis can return from his stint in health and safety protocols and Goga Bitadze (foot) can make it back from […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoAaron Gordon To Return On Sunday
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is expected to return on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran has missed his previous two games because of left hamstring tightness, allowing Zeke Nnaji to get some additional work. Nnaji has logged at least 29 minutes while Gordon has been away, totaling 16 points, 14 rebounds, and […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoGoga Bitadze Questionable Versus Cleveland
Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man has missed his previous four games because of right foot soreness. With Isaiah Jackson (ankle) out and uncertainty surrounding Domantas Sabonis' availability after he's been in health and safety protocols, Terry Taylor could continue to benefit. Taylor […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoKawhi Leonard Not Expected Back This Season
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) may not play this season, according to head coach Ty Lue. "We know Kawhi is probably not going to come back," Lue said during a recent interview, although certainly, there remains a chance he could make it back, primarily if L.A. can advance deep into the playoffs. However, […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoDe'Aaron Fox Out On Saturday
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Thunder. Fox will now miss his eighth straight game because of left ankle soreness, so Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to handle most of the work out of the backcourt. Both men should be strongly considered for DFS contests as well […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJa Morant Classified As A Game-Time Decision
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (foot) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's bout versus the Orlando Magic. Morant is dealing with right foot soreness, so even if he does play, there is a chance he may see a limited workload. As a result, DFS managers may want to consider other options. Yet, seasonal managers […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoCarmelo Anthony Out On Saturday Night
Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) won't play against the Knicks. The veteran tweaked his right hamstring on Thursday versus the Clippers and didn't return as a result. LeBron James (knee) is unlikely to suit up, so Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis should continue to handle most of the offensive chances. Yet, Malik Monk, […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoLeBron James Unlikely To Play On Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's bout versus the Knicks. The former MVP continues to deal with left knee soreness, an injury that's kept him out of the lineup for his previous five games. Nonetheless, without James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis should continue to lead the […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBrook Lopez Remains Without A Return Date
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) remains without a return date. The 33-year-old veteran has appeared in just one game this season and underwent surgery on his back in December. He will travel with the team and visit a specialist in Los Angeles during the Bucks' four-game road trip. However, there is a chance Lopez […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoMarvin Bagley III Questionable Versus OKC
Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bagley has sat out during the Kings' previous three games because of a sprained left ankle. However, it appears he has a good chance of making it back, which would impact the workload of Chimezie Metu and Maurice […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoLauri Markkanen Will Miss Another Game On Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Pacers. He will now miss his seventh straight outing as he continues to make his way back from a sprained right ankle, an injury he sustained during the January 22 meeting versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nonetheless, without Markkanen, Kevin Love should continue […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoDarius Garland Questionable Versus Indiana
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's outing versus Indiana. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with lower back soreness and has missed his previous three games as a result. Nevertheless, if Garland isn't available, Brandon Goodwin will likely replace him once again, with the fourth-year man averaging 9.5 points, 8.5 assists, […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoKnicks Interested In De'Aaron Fox
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox is reportedly on the Knicks' radar, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. The 24-year-old averaged a career-high 25.2 points per game last season and was rewarded with a five-year, $163 million extension. However, after regressing offensively combined with the uptick in production from Tyrese Haliburton, Fox could be on the move […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBradley Beal Out Again On Saturday
Washington Wizards forward Bradley Beal (wrist) is out again on Saturday. Beal has already missed two games after spraining his left wrist, so his upcoming absence against the red-hot Suns will mark his third straight. He saw a specialist on Tuesday, so it's unknown exactly how much longer he will be out, although it's likely […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJimmy Butler Expected To Suit Up Against Hornets
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is expected to suit up versus the Hornets. The 32-year-old continues to deal with irritation in the big toe on his left foot. However, Butler managed to log a combined 65 minutes over his previous two games, so it doesn't appear too serious, at least at the moment. Nonetheless, […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJa Morant Questionable On Saturday Versus Magic
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (foot) is questionable for Saturday's bout against the Magic. The All-Star is currently dealing with right foot soreness, although it shouldn't be a cause for concern for his fantasy managers. Nevertheless, if he doesn't go versus Orlando, Tyus Jones will likely take his place in the lineup, with the 25-year-old […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBen Simmons Heading To Brooklyn?
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons could be traded before the Feb. 10th deadline. The 25-year-old has been unhappy with the organization and hasn't appeared in a game this year as a result. While the Sixers front office is content with keeping him beyond the season to find the best possible deal, rumors have been swirling […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJames Harden Could Be Moved Before Deadline
Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden could be moved before the trade deadline. With recent rumblings that the former MVP isn't happy and looking to land in Philadelphia during the offseason, discussions may intensify to make that happen, with the disgruntled Ben Simmons expected to be included in the exchange. Harden hasn't played well this year, […]
