Joel Embiid Upgraded To Available

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is good to go for Monday's matchup against Portland. He's shaken off a questionable tag ahead of tip-off. The former MVP is coming off a 32-point effort across 35 minutes in a favorable matchup against Utah, and he should also feast against the Trail Blazers. Only four teams […]

Dereck Lively II Remains Sidelined Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (hip) will continue to sit against the Kings on Monday. Dallas has downgraded Lively II from questionable to out, resulting in the talented big man's third consecutive absence. With the Mavericks thin on the frontcourt, Maxi Kleber started alongside Daniel Gafford on Saturday against Portland. Kleber failed to score […]

Klay Thompson Misses Monday's Action With An Illness

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (illness) will not suit up for Monday's game against Sacramento. He's caught an illness bug, leaving the Mavericks without four regular starters for the contest. Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes, and Jaden Hardy should all benefit from the long list of absentees. The former two have already previously provided good fantasy […]

Toumani Camara Returns To Action Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (foot) will be in the lineup on Monday against Philadelphia. The 24-year-old missed Saturday's contest against Dallas due to a foot problem, with Deni Avdija filling in for him in the starting lineup. The two will share the court as starters on Monday, as Avdija is expected to replace […]

Robert Williams III Returns From Three-Game Absence

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) will suit up for Monday's meeting with Philadelphia. He's available again after sitting out three games with an ankle sprain. Williams III will provide backup, along with Donovan Clingan, to starting center Deandre Ayton, who looks to register a third consecutive double-double on Monday. Due to his […]

Keyonte George Active On Monday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) will return to the lineup on Monday against Denver. He has been upgraded from probable to available. George gets back to work after missing four games. The 21-year-old was enjoying a productive month before getting hurt, averaging 18.1 points with 4.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists. He's upped his production […]

Brandon Clarke Will Not Play On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix. He will miss a second consecutive game due to a right soleus strain. The Grizzlies are carrying a number of injuries and look to be very shorthanded for Tuesday's contest. Jay Huff and Colin Castleton have entered the frontcourt rotation […]

Marcus Smart Ruled Out For Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday against Phoenix. He's nursing a right index finger injury, and the team plans to re-evaluate Smart in a couple of weeks. With Ja Morant (shoulder) also absent and considered week-to-week, Scotty Pippen Jr. has a chance to make his mark […]

Santi Aldama Will Continue To Sit On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) will sit out a third consecutive game on Tuesday against Phoenix. The team considers Aldama week-to-week, so it might take some time before he's back on the court. Zach Edey (concussion) and Brandon Clarke (calf) also won't play on Tuesday, which should give Jay Huff an important role in […]

Zach Edey Unavailable Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (concussion) will remain out on Tuesday versus Phoenix. He has yet to clear concussion protocol, sitting out a second straight game. Health issues have taken out several Grizzlies bigs recently, meaning Jay Huff could get a second look as a starter. He settled for only six points and three rebounds […]

Alex Caruso To Remain Out On Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) will miss a fifth straight game on Tuesday versus Minnesota. He has failed to overcome a hip strain. Ajay Mitchell has figured more prominently in the rotation during Caruso's absence. The 22-year-old rookie has averaged 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 22.6 minutes across the last […]

Obi Toppin Questionable To Play On Tuesday

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. He's been out for a pair of games with a left ankle sprain, and the team considers him day-to-day. Jarace Walker has impressed in an expanded role lately and should continue to get extra work if Toppin remains out. The 21-year-old […]

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Out On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (ankle) will not play against the Clippers on Monday. Robinson-Earl will miss the action with a left ankle sprain. With the Pelicans battling injuries, Robinson-Earl has done a good job on the frontcourt, averaging 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.4 minutes. His absence might help Javonte Green back […]

Aaron Nesmith Remains Without A Timeline

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) does not have a timeline for his return. Per Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said on Sunday that Nesmith is making progress but is without a timetable. The 25-year-old has been out since Nov. 1 with a left ankle sprain. Indiana kicked off the campaign […]

AJ Green Considered Probable For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (calf) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. He practiced fully on Monday, suggesting Green's calf injury isn't very serious and that he will be good to go for the final contest of 2024. Green operates as a three-point specialist who has hit nearly 44 percent of his attempts from […]

Khris Middleton Likely To Play Against Pacers

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's meeting with Indiana. He's been ever-present on the injury report this season, but Middleton has played regularly for quite some time, and nothing suggests he won't be able to take the court on Tuesday. Middleton has produced high-quality performances as well […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo On Track To Return To Action Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. However, he appears to be on track to return from a four-game absence. The multi-time MVP practiced on Monday, and Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo will likely play without any restrictions. Antetokounmpo returns […]

Cody Martin Ruled Out For Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (knee) will miss a second straight game on Monday versus Chicago. This comes as no surprise, as Martin was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report. The Hornets also won't have the services of LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) and Brandon Miller (ankle), so players like Josh Green and Seth […]

Jalen Smith Good To Go Monday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (ankle) will play against Charlotte on Monday. He returns to the lineup from a one-game absence after initially being listed as questionable for the contest. Smith has had a decent month, but his fantasy value is very limited due to the presence of Nikola Vucevic. He has averaged 8.3 points […]

Jalen Brunson Cleared To Face Wizards

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (calf) has been cleared to play on Monday versus Washington. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to right calf tightness. Brunson just cooked the Wizards for 55 points on Saturday and should be in line for another productive outing, as Washington sits among the […]

Kyle Kuzma Returns To Wizards Lineup

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) will return to action on Monday versus the Knicks. A left rib injury has kept Kuzma off the court for 12 games. Kuzma has struggled to stay healthy all season, making just 12 appearances. He has scored 15.8 points per game while grabbing 5.6 rebounds. Jordan Poole (hip) is […]

Alexandre Sarr Active Versus Knicks

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (illness) will be in action against the Knicks on Monday. He was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, but Sarr will try to play through it. The rookie big man produced 12 points, six rebounds, five assists, and one block in 32 minutes in Saturday's […]

Jordan Poole Will Not Play On Monday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Knicks. He will sit out a second consecutive game due to a hip contusion. Poole's absence in the same matchup on Saturday allowed Malcolm Brogdon to move back to the starting unit. He had one of his better games of […]

Karel Vejmelka Takes On Kraken Monday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Karel Vejmelka will be the man between the pipes for the team on Monday against Seattle. He gets the nod for the first leg of a back-to-back, with Jaxson Stauber likely working on Tuesday against Edmonton in the final game of 2024. Vejmelka has been in good form throughout the campaign […]

Jake Walman Out On Tuesday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Jake Walman (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Philadelphia. Walman, who has notched an impressive 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 31 outings, has resumed skating but isn't ready to rejoin the lineup. Henry Thrun has worked on the first defensive pairing during Walman's absence, […]

William Eklund To Miss Third Straight Game On Tuesday

San Jose Sharks left wing William Eklund (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia. The talented winger has returned to the ice but isn't yet ready for game action, missing a third consecutive contest. Eklund is tied for the second-most points on the team with 27 (seven goals, 20 […]

Jonathan Drouin Ready To Rejoin Avalanche Lineup

Colorado Avalanche left wing Jonathan Drouin (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Winnipeg.

The silky […]

Oliver Ekman-Larsson Misses Practice With An Illness

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson (illness) was not on the ice for Monday's practice. He's feeling under the weather, and it's unclear if Ekman-Larsson can shake off the illness in time for Tuesday's contest against the Islanders. The Swedish blue-liner has so far featured in all 37 games this season, offering decent fantasy value […]

Auston Matthews To Remain Out On Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Islanders. Matthews practiced on Monday but will be absent for a fifth straight contest. The Maple Leafs captain will get the next opportunity to return on Thursday when Toronto has a rematch scheduled with the Islanders. The team […]
