Kevin Gausman Dealing With Vaccine Side Effects

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The veteran is dealing with side effects related to the Coronavirus vaccine, and although he isn't expected to miss much time, fantasy managers should prepare for him to miss a trip or two through the cycle. The 30-year-old has played […]

Chris Martin Expected To Report For Rehab Assignment

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Chris Martin (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Gwinnett for a short rehab stint. Upon completion, the veteran is expected to return and rejoin a staff that has dealt with numerous injuries in 2021. The 34-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month due to right shoulder inflammation and has appeared in just […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Not In The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (rest) will not play on Tuesday evening against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 22-year-old will get the night off, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed by his absence. Ha-Seong Kim will slide over from second to man the position and bat eighth in a favorable matchup against Mitch Keller […]

Merrill Kelly Heading To The Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Although the reasoning wasn't clear, it certainly isn't good news for a team that has dealt with injuries throughout the rotation. Kelly missed time in 2020 due to a shoulder injury, so fantasy managers could see him out longer. The […]

Furkan Korkmaz Injured On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) left Monday's game against Chicago. He did not return. The 23-year-old played just four minutes before reaggravating the right ankle sprain that plagued him during the season. His status for Wednesday's affair against Houston is unknown. However, it wouldn't be shocking if he missed a game or two moving […]

Tyler Herro Out Versus Mavs

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 21-year-old will now miss his sixth straight contest while trying to work his way back from soreness in his right foot. Without him in the lineup, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus should split time, although neither are reliable fantasy options.

Bobby Portis Probable Against Brooklyn

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (illness) will likely play on Tuesday against the visiting Nets. The veteran has been battling a stomach bug and didn't play on Sunday as a result. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.4 points and 7.1 boards during the 2021 campaign. He has had flashes of efficiency this year, but his best […]

Serge Ibaka Remains Out On Tuesday Evening

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) is out against the Raptors on Tuesday night. This isn't surprising, although it is unfortunate for a team fighting to keep its place toward the top of the Western Conference. Ibaka hasn't played in nearly two months, so fantasy managers should continue to expect Marcus Morris Sr. to […]

Patrick Beverley Not Ready To Return Just Yet

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (hand) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors. The defensive specialist is working his way back from surgery to repair the fourth Metacarpal bone in his left hand. Although there is a chance he will be back sometime soon, fantasy managers should prepare for Reggie Jackson to start […]

OG Anunoby Likely Out Against Clippers

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Anunoby wasn't available against the Lakers on Sunday evening due to a calf strain, and with the team looking toward next season, it wouldn't be surprising if Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, or Pascal Siakam join him […]

Chimezie Metu Questionable Against OKC

Sacramento Kings forward Chimezie Metu (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The 24-year-old didn't suit up on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks due to lower back tightness. With Harrison Barnes (hip) doubtful, Marvin Bagley III could see plenty of action once again.

Harrison Barnes Doubtful Against OKC

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (hip) is doubtful for Tuesday's clash against OKC. The veteran has missed his previous three games while dealing with tightness in his left Adductor. With Chimezie Metu (back) questionable, minutes may be available once again for Marvin Bagley III, who finished with 23 points on 10-for-16 shooting the other night […]

Darius Garland Will Sit Against Suns

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) will not play on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Garland injured his ankle on Friday during the loss to the Washington Wizards. His absence opened the door for Cedi Osman to play 38 minutes versus the Heat on Saturday and allowing him to finish with 15 points, 11 […]

Alec Burks To Return Against Memphis

New Knicks guard Alec Burks will return on Monday evening against the Grizzlies. The veteran hasn't played since the middle of April while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Although he may not see a full workload against Memphis, his presence may eat into the minutes of both Immanuel Quickley and […]

Zach LaVine Cleared From Protocols

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has been cleared to return after missing time due to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19 exposure. Although he won't be available for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia, head coach Billy Donovan is hopeful that he will be back in the lineup on Thursday against Charlotte. With LaVine on the floor, […]

Monte Morris Still Out On Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Morris has been out while dealing with a right hamstring strain and with his teammate, Will Barton (hamstring), plagued by the same ailment, P.J. Dozier, Facundo Campazzo, and Austin Rivers should all see increased minutes. However, none […]

Will Barton Remains Out Against The Lakers

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) remains out on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 30-year-old will miss his sixth-straight contest while continuing to work his way back from a right hamstring strain. With Monte Morris (hamstring) also out, Aaron Gordon, P.J. Dozier, and Austin Rivers should all receive extra minutes, although any member […]

Nerlens Noel Now Out On Monday Night

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) will not play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old sprained his left ankle on Sunday night during a contest against the Houston Rockets. Without Noel in the lineup, Taj Gibson will likely move into the starting lineup, with the veteran averaging nine boards, seven points, and […]

Nikola Vucevic Out Again

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) will not play on Monday evening against the visiting 76ers. The big man will now miss his second consecutive contest due to tightness in his right Adductor. Look for Daniel Theis to slide into the starting lineup at the five, with the former Celtic racking up seven points, seven […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Out Against Magic

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is out once again on Monday night. The 23-year-old has missed his previous 11 contests due to left knee soreness, and with the 2021 campaign coming to an end, we may have seen the last of him this season. Cory Joseph (ankle) is also out against Orlando, so […]

Mason Plumlee To Rest On Monday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) will not play on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the team's previous two games for the same reason, and with the Pistons looking toward at next year, Isaiah Stewart could remain the starter during the final eight games. Stewart had a decent outing against the Hornets […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Monday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) will sit out on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the previous two games due to soreness in his right knee, and with the team looking toward next season, he likely won't be rushed back into action. With the Pistons also down Dennis Smith Jr. (knee), Mason […]

Goga Bitadze Questionable Again

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Wizards. The big man suffered a sprained left ankle a few weeks ago and has been riding this same designation for quite some time. With the team down Jakarr Sampson (concussion) and Myles Turner (toe), Bitadze has a chance to […]

Jakarr Sampson Out Against Washington

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) will not play on Monday evening against Washington. The journeyman was placed in concussion protocol, and after having not played against OKC on Saturday, he will now miss another one in a favorable matchup against the Wizards. Luckily, Domantas Sabonis (back) returned against the Thunder, so even if Sampson […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Monday Night

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of the matchup against the Pacers on Monday night. The 28-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against OKC and now is in jeopardy of sitting out another one. With the team down a handful of reliable options already, Domantas Sabonis and Caris Levert […]

Dennis Schroder Will Sit Out Against Raptors

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder will not play against Toronto on Sunday night. The veteran will miss time to adhere to the league's safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Schroder is no stranger to the policy, as he popped up on the list back in February and didn't play in four games as a result. Without […]

Gary Trent Jr. Out Again

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (leg) will not play against the Lakers on Sunday night. The sophomore has missed the team's previous four contests while dealing with a bruise on his left leg. With Fred VanVleet (hip) also out, Rodney Hood may start, although he should be classified as a dart throw with upside […]

Fred VanVleet Out On Sunday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (hip) will not play against the Lakers. The 27-year-old will get the night off to rest a nagging left hip flexor strain that forced him to miss time at the beginning of the month. With Gary Trent Jr. (left leg contusion) also out, Rodney Hood could be in line for […]

Anthony Davis Will Play Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's matchup against Toronto. The 28-year-old was riding a probable tag throughout the day, so his availability against the Raptors shouldn't come as a surprise. However, with the Lakers playing the first half of a back-to-back, Davis may end up sitting more if […]

LeBron James Will Play Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will suit up on Sunday evening against the Toronto Raptors. The former MVP returned from an extended absence due to a right ankle sprain on Friday and finished with 16 points, eight boards, seven assists, two steals, and a block. However, James is a risky fantasy option, primarily […]
