Isaiah Thomas Targeting A Return in December
Denver Nuggets guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) is reportedly targeting a return in December, according to Mike Singer. Neither the Nuggets or head coach Mike Malone have given a timetable on Thomas' return. Monte Morris has been playing well, so the Nuggets can afford to be patient with Thomas. It's truly unclear when Thomas will actually... Read More
Rodney McGruder is Questionable for Tuesday
Miami Heat forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. McGruder was forced to leave Sunday's game due to a right ankle sprain. Tyler Johnson (hamstring) is probable for Tuesday, so he should be able to get out there. Both Johnson and Justise Winslow would benefit if McGruder... Read More
E'Twaun Moore is Probable on Monday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (leg) is probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Moore is dealing with a left tibial contusion, but is expected to be fine. Wesley Johnson would head to the bench assuming Moore is able to suit up.
Maximilian Kleber is Questionable for Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kleber has missed two games in a row due to a lingering knee issue. Both Dwight Powell and Dorian Finney-Smith would see a few extra minutes if Kleber is unable to play.
Luka Doncic is Expected to Play on Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (hip) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Doncic has apparently improved after sitting out Sunday's game versus the Clippers, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Dorian Finney-Smith will lose value and minutes assuming Doncic returns. Fantasy owners should check back for an update on... Read More
Kyle Lowry Will Play on Monday
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (back) will play in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as questionable after sitting out the last game. Fred Vanvleet will move to the bench with Lowry returning. There is no indication that Lowry will be under any minutes limit.
Kevon Looney Will Start on Monday
Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will draw the start at center during Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Warriors are going to take it game-by-game, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Jonas Jerebko and Jordan Bell will get more involved. Draymond Green (toe) has been ruled out for the next three games. Looney,... Read More
Otto Porter is Questionable on Monday
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Porter returned to action on Saturday, but he continues to struggle. Austin Rivers and Troy Brown have been playing better when Porter is out of the lineup. Fantasy owners should expect them to be more involved if Porter is... Read More
Jeff Green is Probable on Monday
Washington Wizards forward Jeff Green (back) is probable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He missed one game, but is expected to be able to suit up for this contest. Green should see minutes in the 20s, assuming he's healthy enough to suit up. He's not an overly great fantasy option.
Lauri Markkanen Moves Into Starting Five
Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen will move into the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This was expected after Markkanen returned after missing the beginning of the season due to an elbow injury. Jabari Parker will shift to the bench and lose some fantasy value. Markkanen needs to be owned in all... Read More
Joel Embiid Records Double-Double Against Memphis
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 15 points on 4-for-13 shooting in Sunday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He also added 14 rebounds. Embiid is one of the NBA's best centers and a near-nightly double-double threat, though he could face more resistance than usual on Wednesday when the Sixers take on the East's best team,... Read More
J.J. Redick Scores 24 Points Against Memphis
Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick scored 24 points on 9-for-17 shooting in Sunday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He added three rebounds as well, and was 3-for-6 from deep. Redick will face a Raptors team on Wednesday that allows the NBA's sixth-lowest three-point field goal percentage, a troubling fact for Redick, whose game is reliant... Read More
Jaren Jackson Jr. Scores 17 Points Against Philly
Memphis Grizzlies power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. continued his strong rookie campaign in Sunday's loss to the 76ers. Jackson blocked three shots while also grabbing three rebounds. The rookie hasn't made a big impact on the boards while playing beside Marc Gasol, but his shooting and his ability as a shot blocker make him a... Read More
Mike Conley Scores 21 Points Against 76ers
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley scored 21 points on 6-for-17 shooting in Sunday's loss to the 76ers. The veteran also added five assists, two rebounds, a steal, and a block. Memphis plays the Clippers on Wednesday, who allow the eighth-most points per game in the NBA but also the ninth-fewest assists, which makes it... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The 8-16 New York Knicks are in the middle of another season where they will likely to be looking to rebuild through a very early draft pick, and Emmanuel Mudiay is making solid use of his opportunity in the back court for a...

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, DEN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Now in his third season as a Denver Nugget, Mason Plumlee has seen his role in the front court reduced to the lowest level of his career. In a career-low 17.0 minutes, Plumlee is averaging a rather uninspiring 6.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.0... Read More
Dwyane Wade (PG/SG, MIA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: As the 9-13 Miami Heat fight to grab the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, Dwyane Wade is dropping jaws across the league as he takes his victory-lap season. Wade has taken on his most prominent role for a team since he was... Read More
Doug McDermott (SF, IND) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: MCBUCKETS. Thus far in his career, Doug McDermott has been the definition of a journeyman, even at a much younger age than we think of when he think of NBA journeymen. Two and a half years in Chicago. Half season in Oklahoma City.... Read More
DeAndre Bembry (SF, ATL): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% In All-Leagues ANALYSIS: Deandre Bembry is an athletic, defensive stalwart who has shown significant improvement on the offensive end in year three of his development. The 24-year-old small forward got off to a good start to the campaign by scoring in double-figures in three of his first... Read More
Elie Okobo (PG, PHO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: A well-documented fact is that the Phoenix Suns do not have a point guard. It's been an issue since they traded away Eric Bledsoe and while acquiring Elfrid Payton midseason last year looked like it could be a step toward fixing that issue,... Read More
Bam Adebayo (PF/C, MIA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you drafted Bam Adebayo in your fantasy league, there's a chance you did so under the assumption that Adebayo would supplant Hassan Whiteside at some early point in the year since it seems like we've been hearing whispers about how much Whiteside...
