Latest Player News

All Player News

Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo (left hip contusion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday’s game against the Pacers.

On the initial injury report with a left hip contusion, Adebayo took a hit to that spot during Thursday’s game. The Heat initially announced that he would be available to return but changed course a few minutes late. Thomas Bryant will see an uptick in minutes and would be worth streaming if Adebayo cannot play in Saturday’s game against the Pacers.
Moses Moody

GSW Small Forward #4

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Moses Moody, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney will start Thursday’s game against the Clippers.

With Andrew Wiggins (finger) sidelined after slamming his car door on his right hand, Moody has been moved into the starting lineup. The Warriors are also without Chris Paul (leg) and Gary Payton II (calf), which should enhance Moody’s fantasy value. Also of note with the Warriors’ rotation is that Brandin Podziemski will get minutes off the bench. He played well during the early stages of Draymond Green’s five-game suspension but was ultimately dropped from the rotation. Podziemski could be worth a look in deep leagues.
LaMelo Ball

CHA Point Guard #1

The Hornets announced Thursday that LaMelo Ball (right ankle sprain) will be re-evaluated in one week.

Ball was injured during the Hornets’ November 26 game against the Magic, with a recent MRI confirming the sprain. It was reported on November 28 that Ball suffered a “serious sprain” of the ankle and will be sidelined for an extended period. Just how long he’ll have to sit won’t truly be known until he’s re-evaluated on December 7.
Nassir Little

PHX Small Forward #25

Nassir Little (personal reasons) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Little was not available for Wednesday’s game in Toronto due to the birth of his child. He’ll be back on Friday and in the rotation. However, it’s unlikely that Little gets the minutes needed to be of value in most fantasy leagues.
Ayo Dosunmu

CHI Point Guard #12

Chicago will start Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso, Patrick Williams and Nikola Vucevic against the Bucks on Thursday.

Caruso and Dosunmu will start in place of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, which takes away a lot of Chicago’s offense. White and Vucevic should be in for big scoring nights as they taken on a larger offensive workload.
Troy Brown Jr.

MIN Small Forward #23

The Timberwolves will start Mike Conley, Troy Brown Jr., Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert against the Jazz on Thursday.

After starring late in the game on Tuesday to help Minnesota pull off a win after Anthony Edwards went down, Brown Jr. has been rewarded with a starting nod. Chris Finch said that Edwards could be back as early as Saturday, so this could just be a one-game start for Brown Jr. There is optimism that he could have a solid performance after he scored 17 points in 21 minutes on Tuesday, but that isn’t guaranteed.
Grayson Allen

PHX Shooting Guard #8

Grayson Allen (illness) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Allen should be back in action after missing the last two games due to illness. With Devin Booker (ankle) listed as questionable for Friday’s game, Allen’s transition back into the starting lineup would be simple if the Suns star cannot play. But if Booker does give it a go, Josh Okogie would be relegated to the bench.
Devin Booker

PHX Shooting Guard #1

Devin Booker (right ankle sprain) is questionable to play on Friday against Denver.

Despite reports that Booker is not expected to play on Friday, the team has decided to list him as questionable. However, managers should be prepared to not have him in the lineup. Grayson Allen (illness) is no longer on the injury report and should start in place of Book.
DeMar DeRozan

CHI Small Forward #11

DeMar DeRozan (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Bucks.

DeRozan joins Zach LaVine (right foot soreness) on the sideline for Thursday’s game. Those absences will boost the usage of multiple players, most notably Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, and Patrick Williams. With there being another opening in the starting lineup, either Ayo Dosunmu or Torrey Craig will be the next man up.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James (left calf contusion) and Anthony Davis (left hip/groin spasm) are available for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

This was the expected outcome, as James was initially questionable for Thursday’s game and Davis probable. They’ll be joined in the starting lineup by D’Angelo Russell, Max Christie (starting for Cam Reddish), and Taurean Prince.
