Spurs' Rudy Gay (heel) was a full participant during Monday's practice
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay was a full participant in Monday's practice and is likely good-to-go for the Spurs' season opener.
Gay had been dealing with a heel problem and sat out the Spurs' last preseason game. Teammate Pau Gasol indicated that he "looked good" in practice today.
We have Gay projected to bounce back and average 15.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game this season.
Moe Harkless (knee) questionable for Blazers' opener on Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Moe Harkless is questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers with a sore knee.
This isn't a surprise to those who have followed Portland's preseason as Harkless didn't see any playing time in their five games. Evan Turner could step into the starting five if Harkless has to sit.
We project Harkless to play in 77 games and average 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game in the 2018-19 season.
Suns waive Darrell Arthur
The Phoenix Suns have waived forward/center Darrell Arthur.
With Phoenix focused on their young stars, Arthur would have seen little playing time with the Suns had he stayed.
Drafted in the first round in 2008, Arthur has rarely been healthy throughout his career. He's hasn't topped 70 games played since 2010-11. He has career averages of 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.6 blocks, and 0.6 steals.
Larry Nance, Cavs reach 4-year, $45 million extension
The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to a 4-year, $45 million extension with forward/center Larry Nance.
This makes a ton of sense for both parties. With the move, the Cavs get to hold on to a young, athletic big, and Nance should finally see a boost in minutes from the low 20s he's averaged in his first three years in the league. Ty Lue has previously stated that Nance will start against smaller teams this year.
We project Nance as the 78th best fantasy asset this year, and--if you haven't drafted--you can generally get him several rounds after that. We have him hitting 55.8% of his field goals, 69.7% of his FTs, and adding 104 steals and 60 blocks.
Jimmy Butler expected to play for Timberwolves Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler practiced on Sunday and is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the San Antonio Spurs, head coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed.
After all the drama and excitement, it looks like Butler will be starting the year in Timberwolves threads. This figures to remain a story throughout the season.
Operating under the assumption Butler plays 37.1 minutes per game for the Timberwolves this season, numberFire's models project him to be a top-15 fantasy option with 23.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 3-pointers per game.
Draymond Green (knee) likely to be limited for Warriors to start season
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (sore left knee) will likely be on a minutes limit for the first few games of the season, head coach Steve Kerr said.
Green missed some time in training camp but played in the final two preseason games and will be active for Tuesday's regular-season opener versus the Golden State Warriors. Kerr didn't indicate what the limit would be.
numberFire's models project Dray for 11.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 1.1 3-pointers per game in the 2018-19 season.
