With Maxi Kleber (back) also on the fence regarding his availability for the showdown with Sacramento on Monday night, the team […]

Luka Doncic May Miss Monday’s Game Against Sacramento

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (elbow) is listed as questionable against the Kings. The 22-year-old injured his left elbow during a game against the Lakers over the weekend and is in danger of not being available for a favorable matchup against Sacramento.

Alec Burks Out Again On Monday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks won't play against Phoenix on Monday, as expected.

Without him, Reggie Bullock, […]

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Rodney Hood (knee) is listed as probable ahead of the matchup against the Cavaliers.

Chris Boucher Out For A While

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (knee) won't play on Monday night against Cleveland. The veteran is currently dealing with a left MCL sprain, an injury that may put him on the shelf for the next week or two.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) may not be available on Monday night against Oklahoma City. The 23-year-old sat out on Saturday against Milwaukee and is now in danger of sitting out his second straight contest.

Tobias Harris Questionable Against OKC

Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons (knee) may not suit up against OKC on Monday evening.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hip) won't play on Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Dort returned on Friday night against Washington after missing the previous two contests due to a right hip strain.

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) will not play on Monday evening against the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old has missed the team's previous eight contests while working his way back from left knee soreness. Look for Cory Joseph to get the start, while Hamidou Diallo should slightly benefit from a differential standpoint.

Jeremy Lamb May Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is questionable for Sunday's encounter against the Orlando Magic. The veteran continues to battle soreness in his left knee, and if he isn't able to go once again, Edmond Sumner and T.J. McConnell will likely continue to see additional run. Both men should be considered viable fantasy options for […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
