Domantas Sabonis Will Play on Monday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will play in Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sabonis was forced to sit out during Saturday's contest against the Nets.

Jonas Valanciunas is Losing Playing Time

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas has watched his playing time decrease this season. He averaged 12.7 points and 8.6 rebounds in 22.4 minutes per game last season. This season he's averaging 8.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in just 18.0 minutes. Head coach Nick Nurse is playing Valanciunas off the bench more often which has led […]

Mario Hezonja Expected to See Increased Role

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja is expected to see an increased role in the rotation going forward. Kevin Knox (ankle) is sidelined, so Hezonja should benefit from that. Knox could be out as long as a month, so Hezonja could have some short-term fantasy value. Hezonja has not done much with the Knicks this […]

Mike Muscala Practices on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice. He is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Aron Baynes Has Been Ruled Out on Monday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (hamstring) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Baynes could be sidelined for a bit. Daniel Theis should see an increased workload with Baynes out on Monday. However, Theis shouldn't get enough minutes to make him valuable in […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable on Monday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Morris finished with 16 points, six rebounds, two assists and two treys in 26 minutes on Saturday versus the Knicks.

Courtney Lee Will Undergo Tests on Monday

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) will undergo tests on Monday in an attempt to determine what is causing his neck pain. Lee has not played this season and has already been ruled out on Monday. The rebuilding Knicks don't have a lot of room for Lee even if he was healthy. Fantasy owners […]

Rodions Kurucs Appears to be Fine

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) appears to be fine after suffering a sprained ankle during Saturday's contest. Kurucs was helped off the court during Saturday's loss to the Pacers. The X-rays came back negative, so it appears to be just a sprain for Kurucs. However, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (personal, groin) is expected to return on […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Expected to Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) is expected to make his season debut against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson.

Delon Wright Ruled Out on Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Ben Simmons Listed as Questionable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Simmons was unable to practice on Monday due to back tightness.

Jimmy Butler Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Harrison Barnes, Devin Harris Will Miss Next Two Games

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) and guard Devin Harris (hamstring) will miss at least the next two games, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Barnes appeared close to returning, but maybe he suffered a setback or the Mavs are just being extremely cautious. Dorian Finney-Smith is expected to continue starting until Barnes is back. […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Seven Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an explosive game against the Patriots in Week 6, so there was no way he was going to match that this week.

Sammy Watkins Rebounds Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was held to just two receptions for 18 yards in Week 6. He finished with four receptions for 74 yards in the victory over the Bengals on Sunday. It was a quiet night for Watkins until he caught a 50 yard pass in the beginning of the second […]

Spencer Ware Goes Over 50 Yards

Denzel Valentine Doesn't Practice on Friday

Jamal Crawford Will Make Suns Debut on Saturday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jamal Crawford will make his Suns debut on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Crawford is projected to come off the bench as the sixth man in Phoenix.
