Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf), shooting guard/small forward Desmond Bane (personal), and point/shooting guard De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) have all been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Miami Scratches Tyler Herro Late Thursday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to the league's health and safety protocols. News of the scratch did not come until just prior to tip-off, but the contest will move forward without Herro in the mix. Kendrick Nunn already figured to see an increased […]

Cole Anthony, Evan Fournier Headline Magic Absences Thursday

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (shoulder) and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) are among a group of Magic players unavailable to suit up Thursday versus Golden State. Guard/forward Michael Carter-Williams (foot) and forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) are also out, leaving the team's backcourt and wing tremendously short-handed. Frank Mason III figures to see […]

Mason Plumlee Ruled Out Thursday; Isaiah Stewart Will Start

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (elbow) was a late scratch for Thursday's game versus Indiana, paving the way for Isaiah Stewart to enter the starting five for the first time in his career. Plumlee has found his groove as of late, having scored in double figures in seven of his last eight contests, accumulating five double-doubles […]

Frank Ntilikina Tests Negative For COVID-19, Still Out Friday

New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina will miss Friday's contest versus the Wizards as he remains in the league's health and safety protocols due to contact tracing.

Rajon Rondo Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (back) has been ruled out for the second consecutive contest Friday against the Spurs as he continues to battle lower back pain. Trae Young racked up a whopping 42 minutes Wednesday (dropping 15 assists) without Rondo available to back him up, with Brandon Goodwin playing only four minutes off […]

Semi Ojeleye Makes Second Start Of Season Thursday

Boston Celtics small/power forward Semi Ojeleye has been bumped into the starting five for Thursday's game versus the Raptors. Ojeleye has held down a consistent role with the second unit, but he has not scored more than six points in an outing since Jan. 15, which makes him a tenuous DFS asset. Tristan Thompson has […]

D'Angelo Russell Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) will remain sidelined for Friday's game versus the Hornets as he continues to be hampered by a sore left leg. Injuries have torpedoed Russell's production this season, with Ricky Rubio in line to continue seeing increased minutes as the team's starting PG. After playing for a prolonged period […]

Anthony Davis’ Status For Friday’s Contest Remains Murky

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has his status for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies up in the air as he continues to battle right Achilles soreness. Davis has missed the team's past two contests due to the injury, with Kyle Kuzma reaping the benefits of an increased workload. Davis' status appears as […]

Bradley Beal Will Miss Friday’s Game

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (rest) will be absent from Friday's contest against the Knicks due to rest purposes, marking the first time this season that the league's leading scorer has been absent without an injury designation. The move is certainly a curious one with a back-to-back scheduled for Sunday/Monday for the Wizards, which […]

Maurice Harkless Cleared To Suit Up Thursday

Miami Heat small/power forward Maurice Harkless (thigh) has been given the thumbs up to play in Thursday's game against the Rockets, marking a return to action for the first time since Jan. 23. Harkless has combined for just 12 points across his first nine contests, an indication of the minimal role that he has played […]

OG Anunoby, Yuta Watanabe Remain Out Thursday

Toronto Raptors small/power forwards OG Anunoby (calf) and Yuta Watanabe (ankle) have both been ruled out for Thursday's contest versus the Celtics. Anunoby appears to be progressing toward a return in the near future, as he has joined the team on its road trip, but Toronto will remain thin on the wing for at least […]

James Wiseman Remains Out For Thursday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will not suit up for Thursday's game versus the Magic as he continues to work his way back from a left wrist sprain. Wiseman has not played since Jan. 30, leaving the Warriors fraughtfully thin in the frontcourt, with Draymond Green and Eric Paschall playing the role of […]

Bryn Forbes Draws Second Straight Start Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Bryn Forbes remains among the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Phoenix, taking the place of Jrue Holiday, who is in the league's health and safety protocols. Forbes, who has never been known as a high-volume assist contributor, has dished out just .5 dimes per game this year, an indication that […]

Oklahoma City Returns Kenrich Williams To Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard/small forward Kenrich Williams has been elevated back to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to the team's sheer lack of depth in the backcourt. Williams' minutes have skyrocketed as of late, having averaged 8.7 points and 7.0 boards over 32.1 minutes in his last three contests. […]

Shake Milton Unlikely To Play In Thursday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers point/shooting guard Shake Milton (ankle) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Thursday's game versus Portland due to a sprained left ankle. After the Seth Curry faux pas, it appears the doubtful tag was aimed for Milton, although the duo are both dealing with the same ailment. Having served as the primary […]

Abdel Nader Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Phoenix Suns small forward Abdel Nader (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest versus the Bucks due to a persistent ankle injury. Nader will have now missed three games in a row, with E'Twaun Moore a candidate to potentially snag extra minutes in Nader's absence. Despite having been aggressively offensively during his run with […]

Seth Curry Now Available For Thursday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) appears to have healed rather quickly, going from doubtful to available for Thursday's contest against Portland in under an hour. The left ankle sprain that he sustained will not keep him out of game action on the heels of a 22-point showing in his most recent outing. A […]

Frank Jackson Picks Up Doubtful Designation For Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Frank Jackson (illness) has been listed as doubtful to take the floor for Thursday's game versus Indiana due to an illness. Jackson hasn't seen game action since Friday, having played extremely scarcely with the second unit this season. While there was reason to believe that Jackson could crack the rotation upon […]

Jarrett Allen Remains Among Starting Five Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will draw his second consecutive start Wednesday against Denver, with his spot in the starting group seemingly a long-term commitment from head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. Allen played 34 minutes Monday, but snagged just five rebounds, a casualty of playing alongside Andre Drummond, who is second in the league with 14.2 […]

Nassir Little Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Nassir Little (knee) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Thursday's game versus Philadelphia as he works through a sprained left knee. Little has missed each of the team's past four contests due to the ailment, having scored a career-high 30 points in his most recent outing on […]

Seth Curry Unlikely To Suit Up Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been deemed doubtful to play in Thursday's contest against the Trail Blazers due to a sprained left ankle. Curry has been snared by the injury bug coming off of a 22-point performance, which raised his shooting from behind the arc to 50.7 percent, the second-highest mark in […]

Bruce Brown Jumps Back Into Starting Five Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Bruce Brown is among the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest versus Indiana, taking the place of Kevin Durant, who remains out due to the league's health and safety protocols. Brown started the second half of Tuesday's game and finished just a rebound shy of a double-double, indicating the upside that […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Makes Return To Action Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus the Clippers. Towns has been out since Jan. 13 following a positive COVID-19 test, which has come during a season that was already thrown off track by a wrist injury. Having appeared in just four games this year, it's not likely […]

Anthony Davis Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, marking his second consecutive absence due to a sore Achilles. Markieff Morris drew the start in his place Monday and will carry added DFS appeal, but Kyle Kuzma was able to log a double-double for the second […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Cleared To Make Pistons Debut Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, which will mark his team debut. Smith was acquired in the deal that sent Derrick Rose to the Knicks, giving the fourth-year guard an opportunity at playing time that he was unlikely […]

Jahlil Okafor Will Miss Next 6-8 Weeks After Surgery

Detroit Pistons center Jahlil Okafor (knee) underwent surgery on his left meniscus, a procedure that will keep him out of action for at least the next six to eight weeks. Okafor has been used sparingly off the bench this season for Detroit, ceding minutes to Isaiah Stewart in the role of backing up Mason Plumlee. […]

Patrick Beverley Returns To Action Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, reclaiming his spot among the starting five. With it being his first outing since Jan. 24, Beverley will be on an unspecified minutes limit, which figures to cut into his DFS appeal. […]

Evan Fournier, Al-Farouq Aminu Questionable For Thursday

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) and power forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Thursday's contest versus Golden State. Fournier continues to work through back spasms, which have derailed his production and allowed Dwayne Bacon to take on a starting role. Aminu returned for the first time […]

Danilo Gallinari Sees Minutes Cap Increased For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks small/power forward Danilo Gallinari has had his minutes restriction increased to 30 for Wednesday's contest versus the Mavericks, which essentially means that he has no cap whatsoever, considering his current season high is 25. With De'Andre Hunter sidelined for the next 2-3 months, Gallinari is expected to see an increased offensive role. Known […]
