Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 10

Week 10 will likely be known as the week of back-to-backs as a total of 21 teams are playing in a back-to-back set this week. Beware of older and/or banged up players who may sit at any point this week. The Memphis Grizzlies surprisingly sat players on Saturday to rest so no team is safe. […]

JaMychal Green Questionable To Return Friday

Denver Nuggets forward/center JaMychal Green (shoulder) is questionable to return Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Green was probable coming into the contest with a right shoulder strain, but lasted just one minute before tweaking his left shoulder.

Semi Ojeleye And Javonte Green Coming Off The Bench Friday

Boston Celtics forward Semi Ojeleye and guard Javonte Green will come off the bench Friday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Dillon Brooks Out Against Pistons

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks (thigh) will not play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Brooks is dealing with some thigh soreness and does not sound like he will be out for long. Regardless, the Grizzlies are getting De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (personal) back so there are a lot of options for Memphis to […]

Sekou Doumbouya Available Against Memphis

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya (concussion) is available to play Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Doumbouya was getting limited minutes with Detroit before missing the past three games with a concussion.

De'Anthony Melton Expected To Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) is expected to play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Melton has missed six straight games with a shoulder strain, but head coach Taylor Jenkins "expects Melton to be available to play" on Friday.

Devonte' Graham Now Doubtful For Saturday

As an update to a previous report, Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is now doubtful to play Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Graham was questionable and had little hope to play, but this almost seals the deal of Graham missing the game. Malik Monk would be a good streamer for points and threes […]

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (personal) is available to play Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barton has missed the past three games due to personal reasons and was questionable coming into this contest, but he appears on track to play.

Harry Giles III Remains Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Harry Giles III (calf) will not play Saturday against the Washington Wizards. Giles was diagnosed with a calf strain which has a high chance of reaggravation so the Blazers are likely taking it slow given the amount of injuries they already have. Carmelo Anthony has been the next man up for […]

Devonte' Graham Listed As Questionable Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is questionable to play Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Graham left last Saturday's game with the knee injury, but had games postponed so did not actually miss any playing time. However, Graham is in danger of missing this Saturday and would likely cede more minutes to starters Terry […]

Draymond Green Expected To Play Friday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Green was dealing with a sore right ankle and head coach Steve Kerr expects him to play on Friday, but will likely come down to a game-time decision after testing his ankle early.

Saddiq Bey Starting Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Saddiq Bey will start Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls.

Kyrie Irving Listed As Probable Against Lakers

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (back) is probable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving missed the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, but appears on track to play Thursday after dealing with a sore back. Irving's return would push Tyler Johnson back to the bench and take some shot attempts […]

Ish Smith Out 6-8 Weeks

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (quadriceps) will be out for the next six to eight weeks with a quadriceps injury. The injury firmly cements Raul Neto in the backup point-guard role, and the Wizards will likely also use Bradley Beal as the primary ball-handler more often. Neto would be a great streamer whenever Russell Westbrook sits, […]

Kevin Durant Out Again Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will miss his third straight game Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant is dealing with a mild hamstring strain and the team will likely take a very conservative approach with their star's recovery. Durant was already slated to miss two games and being ruled out over a day […]

Victor Oladipo And P.J. Tucker Will Not Play Against Sixers

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (foot) and forward/center P.J. Tucker (quad) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Ben Simmons Officially Ruled Out With Flu

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) will sit Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets after being questionable to play. Simmons recently came down with the flu, and the team will exercise caution with their star guard. Tyrese Maxey is the next man up here and could be worth streaming in season-long […]

Ben Simmons Now Questionable Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) popped up on the injury report and is now questionable to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Simmons is dealing with a non-COVID illness, but that is all we know right now. If Simmons is unable to go, Tyrese Maxey should see a ton of minutes with Shake Milton […]

Al Horford Resting Wednesday Against Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford (rest) will sit Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Thunder are on the second half of a back-to-back set and Horford played the first half so this is to be expected. Isaiah Roby should be in line for a bigger role and is coming off an 11-point, 10-rebound performance […]

James Ennis Ruled Out Against Knicks

Orlando Magic guard/forward James Ennis (groin) will not play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Ennis was finally hitting his groove before injuring his groin and will be sidelined for the second straight game.

Evan Fournier And Al-Farouq Aminu Available Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (back) and forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) are both available to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks.

Tristan Thompson To Start Against Nuggets

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson will start Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets with Daniel Theis (finger) sidelined.

Robert Williams III should also see some run off the bench and offers […]

Joel Embiid Probable To Play Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as probable Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Embiid was available play Monday night, but then was a last-minute scratch as he continues to deal with back tightness.

P.J. Tucker Questionable Against 76ers

Houston Rockets forward/center P.J. Tucker (quad) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Tucker missed Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards which led way for Danuel House Jr. to start. House has been a bit inconsistent this year, but posted 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, one three-pointer, one steal and […]

Victor Oladipo And Eric Gordon Doubtful For Wednesday

Houston Rockets guards Victor Oladipo (foot) and Eric Gordon (groin) are both listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

D'Angelo Russell Will Undergo Surgery On Knee

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to miss four to six weeks.
