Wesley Matthews Good To Go Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) will play Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz. Matthews missed Monday's game with a hamstring injury, but was listed as probable coming into Wednesday. Still, due to the nature of hamstring injuries, it is encouraging Matthews is only missing one game with the injury. Dorian Finney-Smith will return to […]

Elfrid Payton Still On The Sidelines Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is still battling an ankle sprain and will remain sidelined Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton has been listed as questionable in his past few games so he should be nearing a return, but that will not happen Wednesday. As Payton remains out, Jrue Holiday will continue […]

Jeff Teague Will Play Against Pelicans

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) is playing Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Derrick Rose Will Not Play Wednesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose (knee) will be sidelined Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Russell Westbrook Officially Ruled Out Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) will not make his return Wednesday night against the New York Knicks.

Serge Ibaka A Late Scratch Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) is a late scratch from Wednesday night's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Ibaka was reported to be dealing with some knee soreness and will get the day off. In Ibaka's absence, Jonas Valanciunas will start and get most of the minutes at the five. Valanciunas should be a popular […]

Cedi Osman Will Return Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) will play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Osman has missed his last two games with back spasms, but after returning to practice, he feels ready enough to get back onto the court. The Cavs will bring Osman off the bench Wednesday in an attempt to limit his minutes. […]

Jarrett Allen Remains Out With Illness

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (illness) will remain out Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. Allen missed Monday's contest with the illness and still feels too under the weather to return to game action. In Allen's absence, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will likely remain the starting five as the Nets go small ball. Ed Davis will also […]

P.J. Tucker Starting Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (illness) will start Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Tucker came into the contest questionable with an illness but was fully expected to play through it. Should Tucker suffer any sort of a setback, Gary Clark would get more run but is not currently a recommended fantasy option.

Rudy Gay And Pau Gasol Sitting Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (rest) and forward/center Pau Gasol (foot) will not play Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Gay is getting a night off before the Spurs enter a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday while Gasol is not expected to play during the road trip with foot soreness. With the absences of […]

Jeff Teague And Andrew Wiggins Starting Monday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) and guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) will start Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Teague is returning from a six-game absence with a sore knee while Wiggins missed Saturday's contest with a bruised quad. With Teague back in the lineup, Derrick Rose will see a decrease in value after […]

Nikola Mirotic Remains Out Monday Night

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) will remain on the sidelines Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. Mirotic was a true game-time decision Monday with an ankle sprain, but did not feel healthy enough to return to the court. In Mirotic's absence, Julius Randle will continue to start and be a great DFS option. […]

Jarrett Allen Ruled Out With Illness Monday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (illness) will miss Monday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Allen felt ill Monday and was listed as questionable before officially being ruled out of the contest. In the absence of Allen, Ed Davis, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Kenneth Faried will be the main beneficiaries. Allen's illness does not seem to […]

Dillon Brooks To Miss Six To Eight Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks (knee) has been diagnosed with a knee injury and is set to miss the next six to eight weeks.

Elfrid Payton Remains Out Monday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) will stay on the bench Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. Payton is still battling ankle soreness and was listed as doubtful Monday so this ruling should come at no surprise. In Payton's absence, Jrue Holiday will continue to man the point on offense and has seen […]

Aaron Gordon Starting Monday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) will play and start Monday night against the Washington Wizards. Gordon missed his last game against the Phoenix Suns with a sprained ankle and was listed as questionable for Monday's contest. However, the sprain seems to have healed over the weekend and Gordon will likely return to his usual […]

Draymond Green And Shaun Livingston Questionable Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (toe) and Shaun Livingston (foot) are questionable Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Both Green and Livingston have been out as they battle ailments but appear to be nearing returns to the court. If Green is unable to play, Jordan Bell would remain in the starting lineup and be […]

Stephen Curry Ruled Out Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (groin) will not play Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry will miss his second consecutive game with a "low-to-mild" groin strain. Being ruled out more than a day in advance is usually not a great sign for Curry's status moving forward, but the Warriors are most likely […]

Reggie Jackson Scores 19 Points Sunday

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson posted a solid stat line Sunday afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets.

Wesley Matthews Nonexistent In Saturday's Win

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews showed more importance on the court rather than on the stat sheet in Saturday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
