Doug McDermott May Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The veteran was flirting with the same designation on Saturday leading up to the matchup against Detroit but was still able to suit up and finish with 18 points. With the team down Myles Turner (toe), Domantas Sabonis (back), and […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Still Questionable Against Pacers

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is still questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The sophomore big man continues to deal with right ankle soreness and wasn't in the lineup on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. If Carter doesn't play, look for Mo Bamba to handle the duties in the middle […]

Domantas Sabonis Remains Out Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) remains out on Sunday against Orlando. The 24-year-old has missed his previous three contests due to lower back tightness, and with Myles Turner (toe) also out and Goga Bitadze (ankle) questionable, the team may be shorthanded underneath the rim. If Bitadze sits once again, look for Oshae Brissett and […]

Clint Capela Remains Questionable Against The Bucks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old took a fall during the week and continues to deal with a bruise on his back. If Capela is out of the lineup once again, look for Onyeka Okongwu to get the start. However, outside of some rebounds and […]

Rui Hachimura To Miss Another Game

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will not play on Sunday against Cleveland. The 23-year-old will now miss his fourth straight contest while tending to soreness in his left knee. Look for Davis Bertans and Daniel Gafford to benefit, although both are risky options from a fantasy standpoint due to their inconsistency on the scoring […]

Collin Sexton Won’t Play Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (head) won't play on Sunday against the Wizards. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with a concussion, so his absence will likely extend beyond the fantasy-friendly matchup against Washington. Darius Garland should see an increase in usage and differential, while Cedi Osman and Jarrett Allen should also benefit on the scoring […]

Kevin Durant Available Against Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) is listed as available ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. The former MVP had been riding a probable tag on Saturday, so his availability shouldn't come as a surprise. Durant has missed the previous three contests while dealing with a bruise on his left thigh, and even though a […]

Pederson has been dealing with tendinitis in […]

Jose Altuve Still Not Back

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (illness) did not appear on Saturday against the Angels.

Although he is ready to go, he will need to be activated from the injured list before he can be reinserted […]

Jake Odorizzi Leaves Saturday’s Contest

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (forearm) was prematurely removed from Saturday's game against the Angels. The 31-year-old threw just five pitches before getting yanked due to forearm tightness.

De’Aaron Fox Out For At Least Two Weeks

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox will miss 10-14 days due to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. The 23-year-old has been on a roll this season, and his absence isn't good news for a team that has struggled. In his stead, look for Delon Wright to see some more minutes moving ahead.

James Ennis III May Be In The Lineup On Sunday

Orlando Magic forward James Ennis III (calf) may play on Sunday against the Pacers. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his right calf, an injury that has caused him to miss his previous three games.

Jonas Valanciunas Remains Questionable

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (concussion) has a chance to play on Sunday against Portland. The veteran remains in concussion protocol, and as a result, he has missed the team's previous three games. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (injury management) out, the Grizzlies could be shorthanded underneath the basket, a void that may be filled by […]

Michael Carter-Williams Out Again On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (ankle) is out once again on Sunday against Indiana. The veteran has missed his previous four contests while tending to a sprained left ankle. In his stead, Cole Anthony should continue to be a popular option in all formats, with R.J. Hampton also seeing an increase in his fantasy stock.

Wendell Carter Jr. Questionable Against Indiana

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) may play on Sunday against Indiana. The big man has been dealing with soreness in his right ankle, and as a result, he wasn't in the lineup against New Orleans on Thursday night.

Trae Young Out As Expected On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) won't play against the Bucks. The 22-year-old sprained his left ankle on Wednesday night against the Knicks and is expected to miss at least a few weeks.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old didn't play on Friday against Miami after suffering a bruise on his back.

James Harden Out Against The Suns

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is out on Sunday against Phoenix, as expected. Although the former MVP was close to nearing a return from a right hamstring strain, he suffered a setback that will keep him out of the lineup longer. Expect Kyrie Irving to gain an increase in usage while running things at […]

Kevin Durant Likely To Return Against Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) is probable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. The former MVP suffered a left thigh contusion against Miami less than a week ago and subsequently missed the next three contests against New Orleans, Toronto, and Boston. With Durant consistently dealing with injuries throughout the season, head coach Steve Nash […]

Cameron Johnson Available On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (face) will be available for Sunday's matchup against Brooklyn. The 23-year-old fractured his nose during practice about a week ago but hasn't missed any time as of yet. With Jae Crowder (ankle) and Dario Saric (ankle) both out, Johnson will likely continue to roll with the starting unit. However, his […]

Malik Monk Remains Out Against Celtics

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (ankle) will remain out ahead of Sunday's matchup against Boston.

With LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Gordon Hayward […]

Robert Williams III Out Again On Sunday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's matchup against the Hornets. The big man has been dealing with left knee soreness, an ailment that has kept him out of the lineup over the last five games. Although reports suggest Williams is close to returning, it appears as if Tristan […]

Brandon Crawford Out Of The Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (quadriceps) is not in the lineup on Saturday night against the visiting Marlins. The 34-year-old is dealing with tightness in his right quad and comes just days after he experienced rib tightness. The veteran is batting just .185 this season, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he misses […]

Bryse Wilson On The Hill On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryse Wilson will begin the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. Inclement weather caused Saturday's contest against Arizona to be postponed, forcing two games to now be played to close out the weekend.
