Alex Caruso Out Against Memphis
Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (calf) will not play Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Caruso has been dealing with a calf injury and re-aggravated it against Oklahoma City on Friday. Caruso was originally doubtful, but upgraded to questionable before being ruled out completely. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will likely get even more minutes on the wing.... Read More
Kevin Love Will Sit Saturday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (back) will not play Saturday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Love is dealing with back soreness and the Cavs are on the second night of a back-to-back so it makes sense to sit him. Love's injury history is always concerning, but this should not be a serious issue. Larry... Read More
Bogdan Bogdanovic Doubtful Against Wizards Sunday
Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as doubtful Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Bogdanovic missed Friday's game with hamstring tightness after scoring a career-high 31 points on Tuesday.

Derrick Rose, Luke Kennard And Tony Snell Questionable At Bucks
Detroit Pistons guards Derrick Rose (foot), Luke Kennard (hip) and Tony Snell (hip) are all questionable to play Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. With all three on the injury report, the Pistons will be extremely thin on the wing if they cannot give it a go. If any of those three are unable to play,... Read More
Blake Griffin Out Against Milwaukee
Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. This was mostly expected as Griffin is sitting the second night of a back-to-back with "soreness". With Griffin out, the Pistons will likely give more minutes to a committee of Markieff Morris, Thon Maker and Christian Wood.
Lonzo Ball Will Come Off The Bench Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (groin) will play but will come off the bench Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns. Ball has been sidelined for almost two weeks and will have a 20-minute restriction, per head coach Alvin Gentry. Ball's return will likely lower the value of J.J. Redick and Nickeil Alexander-Walker moving... Read More
Ricky Rubio Remains Out Against Pelicans
Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (back) will not play Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rubio will miss his second game dealing with back spasms after fighting through the injury and playing 16 minutes on Tuesday. With Rubio out, Tyler Johnson will start at point guard.

Anfernee Simons In, Hassan Whiteside Out Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, his teammate Hassan Whiteside (hip) will not play after missing shootaround with a hip injury. Simons will likely start and play heavy minutes in the absence of Damian Lillard (back). In the absence of Whiteside, a committee of Skal... Read More
Coby White Will Play Through Ankle Injury
Updating a previous report, Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White (ankle) says he will play Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. White tweaked his ankle during his pregame routine, but the injury is not enough to keep him out of the lineup. White will resume his normal role off the bench.
Aron Baynes Ruled Out Ahead Of Thursday Night
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (hip) has already been ruled out Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Baynes sat Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings with a hip contusion and will miss his second straight on Thursday. The fact he is ruled out a day in advance is not a great sign. Frank Kaminsky... Read More
Draymond Green Ruled Out With Soreness
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (heel) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Green is dealing with heel soreness and also banged his elbow Tuesday night. This is the second night of a back-to-back for the Warriors and given the way they have treated injuries, it is no surprise they are sitting Green.... Read More
Coby White A Game-Time Decision Wednesday
Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White (ankle) suffered an apparent ankle sprain before Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. White suffered the injury during warm ups and is now a game-time decision. If White is unable to go, Tomas Satoransky and Kris Dunn will get extra run.

After a couple small slates to start the week, Wednesday's slate consists of 11 games with a ton of opportunity for value. We have six games with a projected over/under of at least 218 points. As we have seen in the early weeks of the season, we have a ton of injuries to monitor ahead... Read More
Ricky Rubio And Frank Kaminsky Starting Tuesday
Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (back) and forward/center Frank Kaminsky (hip) will both play and start against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Both Rubio and Kaminsky were game-time calls with their respective ailments, but neither were deemed serious enough to keep them out of play. With Aron Baynes (hip) out, Kaminsky should get all... Read More
Aron Baynes Ruled Out Against Kings
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. Baynes picked up a hip injury Monday night against his former team, the Boston Celtics. For now, the injury is not serious and the back-to-back set may have something to do with Baynes sitting out. Frank Kaminsky (hip) is a game-time... Read More
Derrick White Will Sit Wednesday Night
San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (foot) will not play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. White is dealing with some foot soreness, but the fact he was ruled out a day in advance is a little concerning.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/19/19): NBA DFS Lineups
The showtime Los Angeles Lakers headline Tuesday's four-game slate. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have lead the Lakers to a 11-2 record and currently sit atop the Western conference. With only four games, James and Davis are easily the highest priced players for Tuesday's slate. Both will be popular options for good reason. Let's find... Read More
Patrick Beverley Will Play Against Oklahoma City
Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) will play Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Beverley was questionable with a calf injury, but has healed up enough to play without a minutes restriction on Monday. Beverley's return will push either Terance Mann or Rodney McGruder to the bench. Mann was much more effective in the... Read More
Ricky Rubio Doubtful With Back Spasms
Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (back) is doubtful to play Monday night against the Boston Celtics. Rubio popped up on the injury report late after suffering back spasms. The injury most likely occurred at some point during shootaround or warm-ups. The Suns play again on Tuesday in the middle of a five-game week, so... Read More
Kawhi Leonard Out Monday Against Thunder
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will miss Monday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Leonard has missed three straight games with a knee contusion, but was questionable coming into tonight and should be nearing a return. In Leonard's absence, Paul George and Lou Williams will lead the Clippers offense. Both will likely... Read More
Tyson Chandler Will Rest Monday
Houston Rockets center Tyson Chandler (rest) will sit the first night of a back-to-back on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Clint Capela (concussion) is returning to the starting lineup after a concussion which will allow the Rockets to rest the veteran Chandler. With Capela back, Chandler loses most, if not all, of his fantasy... Read More
Kawhi Leonard And Patrick Beverley Questionable Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) and guard Patrick Beverley (calf) are listed as questionable for Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Carmelo Anthony Signing With Portland
Free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony will be signing with the Portland Trail Blazers, per Adrian Wojnarowski. This was a completely unexpected signing with Anthony out of the league for most of last season. There is a chance Anthony starts right away at the four over Nassir Little. If you need a scorer, Anthony might be worth... Read More
Mitchell Robinson Cleared To Play Off Bench Thursday
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (concussion) will play, but he will come off the bench against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. This is great news for fantasy owners, since concussions can be tricky injuries. Robinson will most likely be limited in his first game back. Despite coming off the bench, Robinson will likely... Read More
Brandon Ingram Remains Sidelined Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) will not play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ingram was being treated as a true game-time decision, so it appears he will return sooner rather than later. With Ingram, Josh Hart (knee) and Lonzo Ball (groin) all out Thursday, Kenrich Williams and J.J. Redick will get... Read More
Jeff Teague Available Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (illness) is available to play Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Teague has been sidelined for four straight games with an illness, but finally feels good enough to take the floor. Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie will take hits in value, but will likely still get decent playing... Read More
Paul George Out Wednesday, "Might Play" Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) will not make his season debut Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. However, coach Doc Rivers said Paul George "might play" Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
