Tari Eason Considered Doubtful For Monday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis.

Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate have enjoyed expanded roles during Eason's […]

Brice Sensabaugh Returns To Jazz Lineup Sunday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (conditioning) will end a three-game absence on Sunday against Brooklyn. At the start of the week, he was knocked out of the lineup by an illness, but Sensabaugh has worked his way back into game shape ahead of Sunday's action. We should see plenty of him in the game as […]

Kyle Filipowski Active Versus Nets

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an ankle sprain. Utah won't have many big bodies in the lineup on Sunday, so the stage is set for Filipowski to enjoy a productive outing. However, his recent […]

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Sunday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will not play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He will miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to back spasms.

Jonathan Kuminga Out For Fifth Consecutive Game

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will miss a fifth straight game on Monday against Toronto. The 22-year-old is recovering from an ankle sprain and is wearing a walking boot.

Gary Payton II Listed As Out For Monday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) has been listed as out for Monday's clash against Toronto. Following Sunday's practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr labeled Payton II as questionable, but it looks like he still needs some time to work himself into game shape.

Brandin Podziemski Remains Sidelined Monday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Monday against Toronto. Podziemski is making progress and can run at full speed, but he stated on Sunday that he isn't yet nearing a return. Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, and Moses Moody have additional playing opportunities with Podziemski out. […]

Andrew Wiggins Ready To Return Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) has rejoined the team and will play on Monday against Toronto. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed the news after Wiggins practiced on Sunday.

Draymond Green Expected To Play On Monday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against Toronto. The veteran missed Friday's game against Indiana due to a back issue. He is officially listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's action. However, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk has reported that Warriors head coach Steve […]

Stephen Curry Not Listed On Injury Report For Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) has not been listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Toronto.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Ruled Out Sunday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee.

Caleb Martin Misses Sunday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Caleb Martin (groin) will not suit up for Sunday's contest against Orlando.

The veteran sharpshooter has had a tough campaign but […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) will not return to action in Sunday's matchup against Orlando. He will miss a fourth consecutive game after being initially regarded as questionable for the contest. Philadelphia will also be without Andre Drummond (toe), meaning Guerschon Yabusele is set for another busy outing. Adem Bona will serve as […]

Ty Jerome Ruled Out For Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. This comes as no surprise after Cleveland listed Jerome as doubtful on the initial injury report. Jerome's absence should slightly boost Sam Merrill and Caris LeVert from a fantasy perspective, while Craig Porter Jr. might break back into the rotation […]

Walker Kessler Resting On Sunday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (rest) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. Following a 31-minute outing against Phoenix on Saturday, the Jazz are resting the seven-foot giant. John Collins (hip) also remains out of the lineup, and several other frontcourt pieces are questionable for the contest. This could lead to Drew […]

Dejounte Murray Active On Sunday

Adin Hill Scheduled To Start On Sunday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill is scheduled to make his 27th start of the campaign in Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

His goals-against average stands at […]

Shayne Gostisbehere On Track To Return Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body) appears ready to rejoin the lineup on Sunday against Anaheim.

Romanov has yet to score in 30 outings this season, but he has contributed nine assists on the offensive end. Additionally, he […]

D'Angelo Russell Unavailable Sunday

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) will not take the court on Sunday against Utah. He injured his right shin a week ago and will miss a fourth consecutive game. The Nets also continue to carry other injuries, giving players like Keon Johnson, Tyrese Martin, and Ziaire Williams additional fantasy value. Utah has the […]

Malcolm Brogdon Not Ready To Return On Sunday

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will remain on the sidelines for a fourth consecutive game on Sunday versus Oklahoma City. The former Sixth Man of the Year is dealing with a plantar fascia contusion in his right foot.

Alex Caruso To Remain Out For 10th Consecutive Game

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) will sit out a 10th consecutive game when the Western Conference leaders face Washington on Sunday.

Josh Richardson Remains Out Saturday

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will remain absent from the lineup against Portland on Saturday. He last saw action on Nov. 18 and is nursing a heel injury. The team has downgraded Richardson from questionable to out ahead of tip-off for Saturday's game. The Heat have plenty of options at the guard positions, so […]

Robert Williams III Misses Saturday's Action Due To Illness

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) will not suit up for Saturday's matchup against Miami. He has been downgraded from questionable to out as Williams III battles an illness. Williams III's absence might give us a Duop Reath sighting on Friday, as Portland also won't have the services of Deandre Ayton (calf). Rookie […]

Deandre Ayton Will Not Play Against Heat

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Miami. He's out for the first time in 12 games, missing the action due to left calf soreness.
