Chris Paul Uncertain For Friday Night

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) is questionable ahead of Friday's game in Orlando. The 37-year-old injured his right heel during Monday's matchup against Philadelphia and subsequently missed the next contest at Minnesota due to soreness. As a result, Cameron Payne started on Wednesday night, finishing with a season-high 23 points while adding eight assists, […]

Paolo Banchero Questionable On Friday Night

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) is questionable ahead of Friday's meeting with Phoenix. The rookie has a sprained right ankle and didn't play on Wednesday against Dallas. As a result, he was replaced in the starting lineup by Chuma Okeke, who had only eight points in 32 minutes. If Banchero misses another game, Franz […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out Against Denver

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) won't play on Friday night versus the Nuggets. The 29-year-old exited Wednesday's game against Detroit due to right hamstring tightness and didn't return. Brogdon's production has dwindled in his first season in Boston, averaging 13.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, so his absence won't be a significant loss […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Suffers Hip Injury Against Nets

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (hip) exited Monday's game against Brooklyn. He did not return. The 30-year-old slipped on a slick surface of the court and was ruled out shortly after with a strained left hip. It's unknown if Hardaway will be available for Wednesday's meeting with the Magic. However, if he isn't, Josh […]

Brandon Ingram Leads Pels In Scoring Against Pacers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram had a team-high 29 points during the loss to the Pacers. Ingram made 50% of his attempts from the field while going 3-for-4 from deep. He also amassed six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. Ingram missed four games after sustaining a concussion against the Utah Jazz in October. […]

Zion Williamson Scores 26 Points On Monday Night

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson scored 26 points in Monday's loss to Indiana. He also added seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block. The 22-year-old has played well this season. While he sank two of three shots from deep in this one, his three-point percentage could still use some work. Fortunately, Williamson […]

Myles Turner Drops Season-High 37 Points In Win

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner scored a game-high 37 points during the win over New Orleans. Turner was efficient from the field. However, more impressively, he went 4-for-7 from deep and sank all 11 of his free throws. He also added 12 rebounds and three blocks. The 26-year-old easily had his best game of the […]

Wenyen Gabriel To Enter The Starting Lineup Versus Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers forward Wenyen Gabriel will start against the Utah Jazz on Monday night. LeBron James (foot) is out with foot soreness, giving Gabriel a chance to get some additional work. The 25-year-old has averaged only 3.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per game this season. While he should exceed those numbers, […]

Kendrick Nunn Starting Again

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn will start against the Jazz. With Patrick Beverley (illness) under the weather, Nunn will make his second straight appearance in the starting lineup. Nunn went scoreless while filling in for Beverley on Sunday versus Cleveland. However, with LeBron James (foot) and Lonnie Walker IV (illness) also out, he should […]

Anthony Davis Will Play Against The Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is available against the Jazz. The big man wasn't a lock for Monday's contest due to nagging low back tightness. However, he's good to go and could explode for fantasy managers with LeBron James (foot) out with left foot soreness.

Lonnie Walker IV Dealing With An Illness

Los Angeles Lakers forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) won't play on Monday night versus Utah. He's not feeling well, although it's not COVID, so there's a chance he could be back on Wednesday against the Clippers. With LeBron James (foot) and Patrick Beverley (illness) also out, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Troy Brown Jr., and Kendrick Nunn could […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Rest Of Monday Night

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) won't return to Monday's meeting against Philadelphia. The veteran was taken to the locker room and evaluated for right heel soreness, ending his night after only 14 minutes of work. He'll likely have more tests done over the next day or so. However, it's doubtful the Suns will take […]

LeBron James Out Against Utah

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) won't play on Monday against Utah. James has been battling left foot soreness all year but has played through it. While there's a chance the ailment has finally caught up to him, he's likely getting a night off to rest after logging 34 minutes on Sunday versus Cleveland. […]

John Wall Out Again On Monday Evening

Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (rest) won't play against the Cavaliers. The veteran played in Sunday's meeting with the Jazz, so he will get the second night of the team's back-to-back off. Luke Kennard and Norman Powell may see additional minutes on Monday. Although likely not enough to make a significant impact for fantasy […]

Luke Kennard Available Versus The Cavs

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (chest) will play on Monday against the visiting Cavs. The 26-year-old missed a game due to chest discomfort but will return for his usual role off the bench. However, Kennard is averaging only 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game this season, so there's not much […]

Brandon Clarke Will Start Against Boston

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke will start on Monday against the Celtics. With Steven Adams (ankle) sitting, Clarke will get some extra minutes. He's averaged 10.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks this season. However, he has a fantastic opportunity to exceed those numbers, so the streaming potential is there for those looking to fill […]

Steven Adams Sitting Against Boston

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (ankle) won't play on Monday night versus the visiting Celtics. The veteran has a sprained right ankle, although it's unknown if he'll be back against San Antonio on Wednesday. Brandon Clarke will take his place in the starting lineup and offers plenty of upside for managers in all formats.

Zach LaVine Playing On Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will play on Monday night against Toronto. Lavine didn't play on Sunday during the first game of consecutive meetings with Toronto to rest his left knee. Fantasy managers should expect him to be out there for a full workload, so he should be starting. Alex Caruso will head back […]

Kyle Kuzma Will Play Against The Hornets

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) will play against Charlotte. The 27-year-old was riding a questionable tag due to shoulder soreness heading into this one. However, he's good to go and should carry the load on Monday night with Bradley Beal out because of health and safety protocols.

Ben Simmons Will Return Against Mavs

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will return against the Mavs. Simmons, who's missed the last four games due to knee soreness, has averaged only 6.2 points this season. While the 26-year-old has also averaged 7.3 assists, 6.5 boards, and 1.2 steals, he hasn't met expectations. Considering he will play only 20 minutes on Monday […]

Tyler Herro Won't Play Versus Portland

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) won't play on Monday night against Portland. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year has a sprained left ankle, so Max Strus is the favorite to take his place in the lineup. Strus has averaged 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in his three starts this season, giving […]

Jalen Duren Available On Monday Evening

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is available on Monday night against OKC. The rookie has averaged 7.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 20.7 minutes per game this season. However, he missed his previous three games with an ankle injury. With that said, it's unknown if Smith will log his usual workload, so […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Intends To Play Against Washington

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) intends to play against the Wizards, according to head coach Steve Clifford. The 24-year-old tweaked his ankle versus Brooklyn on Saturday night, limiting him to just six minutes of action. Smith has averaged 10.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in eight starts this season. However, […]

Gordon Hayward Out Against Washington

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) is out on Monday against Washington. The veteran is dealing with a left shoulder contusion, so he will miss his third consecutive contest. LaMelo Ball (ankle) also remains out, opening the door for Kelly Oubre Jr., P.J. Washington, and Terry Rozier to continue to be the featured options on […]

Bradley Beal Remains Out On Monday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal won't play on Monday night versus the Hornets, marking his second consecutive absence while adhering to health and safety protocols. Corey Kispert got the start for Beal against the Grizzlies on Sunday night and finished with six points in 24 minutes, so he's not a lock to produce for the […]

Tee Higgins Has Game-High 60 Receiving Yards Versus Panthers

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught seven of his eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers. Joe Mixon was the star of the show, with the former Sooner amassing five total touchdowns on the afternoon. As a result, Higgins and Tyler Boyd didn't produce as expected, especially with Ja'Marr Chase […]

Tyler Boyd Can't Find The End Zone On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd finished with five catches for 44 yards during the win over the Panthers. Boyd scored a touchdown in each of his previous two games entering Week 9. While he came close to adding another, he wasn't successful. With Joe Mixon accounting for five of the team's touchdowns, Boyd and […]

Hayden Hurst Catches All Five Targets In Week 9

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst had five catches for 44 yards during Sunday's win over the Panthers. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip) out of the lineup, Hurst was expected to see a few more targets. However, his Week 9 performance fell in line with what fantasy managers have received from him this season. In all […]

Chris Evans Suffers Knee Injury

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Evans (knee) was injured during Sunday's game against Carolina. Evans suffered a right knee injury in the first quarter before being eventually ruled out. The 25-year-old was seemingly in line for an increased role in 2022-23. Yet, he remains buried behind Samaje Perine on the depth chart while getting most […]

Sidney Jones Expected To Sign With Vegas

Free-agent cornerback Sidney Jones IV is expected to sign with the Raiders. Jones, who was recently released by the Seahawks, has accumulated 147 total tackles, 29 passes defensed, and four interceptions since being drafted in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. With Vegas allowing 255 passing yards per game in 2022-23, the team […]
