Andrew Wiggins Will Not Play On Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Due to Wiggins' absence, Kyle Anderson, Lindy Waters III, and Gary Payton […]

Julian Strawther Good To Go Sunday

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Julian Strawther (wrist, ankle) has been cleared to play on Sunday against Atlanta. He's dealing with a couple of different ailments at the moment, but the team has upgraded Strawther from probable to available. The 22-year-old has just logged a season-high 33 minutes in Saturday's matchup against Washington, and Strawther should […]

Christian Braun Active Versus Hawks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (quadriceps) will play on Sunday against Atlanta. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Braun carries a quadriceps injury, but it hasn't impacted his performances. In Saturday's 122-113 loss to Washington, Braun recorded 14 points with 7-for-14 shooting in 38 minutes, adding a pair of rebounds, an assist, […]

Aaron Gordon Back In Action Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) will return to the lineup on Sunday versus Atlanta.

The 29-year-old will make only his 11th appearance of the season. Gordon has averaged […]

De'Andre Hunter Available Versus Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against Denver. He keeps managing a knee injury but has been upgraded from questionable to available. Hunter will make his 11th consecutive appearance and will have extra fantasy value on Sunday, as Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) won't be in […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Out On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Denver. The veteran scorer has been limited to 10 outings this season and will miss another game on Sunday.

Trae Young Ready To Face Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will suit up for Sunday's contest against Denver. He's been upgraded from probable to available. Young is coming off an incredible 31-point, 20-assist outing against the Lakers. He'll be expected to do extra work offensively again on Sunday, as Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the […]

Jalen Johnson Misses Sunday's Action

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's clash against Denver.

Pelle Larsson Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will remain out on Sunday versus Cleveland. He continues to nurse an ankle sprain that Larsson sustained in Friday's practice. With Larsson out of commission, Dru Smith saw additional action on Saturday versus Phoenix, logging 29 minutes off the bench. Smith did a little bit of everything for […]

Jimmy Butler Active Versus Cavaliers

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will play in Sunday's contest against Cleveland. He's ready to go again after shining against Phoenix on Saturday. Butler led his side to victory with a very efficient 24 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one block. So far this season, Butler had played with zero rest days just […]

Cameron Payne Misses Second Consecutive Game

New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is not ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Detroit. A left elbow problem will keep Payne sidelined for a second consecutive game. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek will get additional work off the bench on Saturday. The pair may also benefit from the fact that […]

Jalen Brunson Available Versus Pistons

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (back) will remain in the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He was initially regarded as questionable for the contest due to a back issue. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the shelf, Brunson is looking at extra offensive duties on Saturday. However, with the Pistons allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Misses Saturday's Game

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Detroit. He's dealing with a knee issue and is missing only his second game of the season. It's been a superb debut campaign for Towns in New York, and it will be difficult to replace him. Jericho Sims will start […]

Kristaps Porzingis Back For Celtics Saturday, Al Horford Out

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (leg) will return to the lineup for Saturday's contest against Memphis. He was kept out of action on Friday versus Milwaukee as Porzingis continues to manage a leg injury. The Latvian big man will be a natural replacement for Al Horford (toe), who will exit the lineup on Saturday. Porzingis […]

Derrick White Good To Go Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) will take the court on Saturday against Memphis. He has been upgraded from probable to available. White is dealing with a right foot sprain but is good to go as Boston closes out a back-to-back. He's likely delighted to quickly get a new opportunity to play, as White had […]

Pelle Larsson Sits Out Saturday's Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will not play against Phoenix on Saturday. He sprained his right ankle in Friday's practice and will come out of the lineup after enjoying a good stretch of games in the rotation.

Jimmy Butler Active Versus Suns

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will be active against Phoenix on Saturday. He was listed as probable on the initial injury report.

Alexandre Sarr Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Denver. He was already iffy for the game after the team gave him a questionable designation on the injury report. Sarr's injury gives Jonas Valanciunas another opportunity to start, and we might have another Marvin Bagley III sighting on the Wizards' […]

Christian Braun Active On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (quadriceps) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off against Washington on Saturday. A right quadriceps contusion isn't enough to keep Braun off the court. On Saturday, he also gets an opportunity to play a larger role, as two of Denver's starters -- Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron […]

Aaron Gordon Misses Saturday's Action

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) will not be available for Saturday's clash against Washington. He was downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day, and Denver has now ruled Gordon out. The Nuggets begin a back-to-back with Saturday's outing, so it's possible Gordon can make a quick return on Sunday versus Atlanta. We […]

Jamal Murray Ruled Out For Saturday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's matchup against Washington. He has been ruled out after landing on the initial injury report with a questionable tag. Murray's absence will be a big boost for Russell Westbrook's fantasy stock. He's set to move to the starting lineup, where Westbrook has recorded […]

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Indefinitely With Torn Oblique

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) has been ruled out indefinitely. He suffered a torn right oblique in Friday's 102-94 loss to Philadelphia.

Orlando also lost Banchero to a torn oblique at the end of […]

Cam Talbot To Miss At Least Two More Games

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot (lower body) will remain on the shelf Saturday versus Colorado and won't be ready to return on Monday against Buffalo, either.

Justin Faulk Returns From Two-Game Absence

St. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk (upper body) will return to action on Saturday against Edmonton. He has been sidelined for two games with an upper-body injury.

Will Smith Out On Saturday

San Jose Sharks center Will Smith (upper body) will not be in the lineup on Saturday against Florida. He's considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury Smith sustained in Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay. The 19-year-old rookie recently enjoyed a hot streak and has taken his points tally to 11 through 24 appearances. Ethan Cardwell will […]

Kaiden Guhle Returns Versus Capitals

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle (illness) will be back in the lineup for Saturday's meeting with Washington. He was unavailable on Thursday versus Nashville because of an illness. Justin Barron filled his spot and will likely come out of the lineup again on Saturday. Guhle plays a big role in the Canadiens defense, averaging close […]

Max Pacioretty Back In Action Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (lower body) will end a 10-game absence in Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh. He's set to replace Nikita Grebenkin in the lineup.

Ross Colton Rejoins Avalanche Lineup Saturday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (foot) is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of the game.

Sergei Bobrovsky Returns To Panthers Crease

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky (personal) will be back in action on Saturday against San Jose. He's sat out a pair of contests for personal reasons. Bobrovsky has won each of his last two starts, sporting an 11-5-1 record for the season. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner carries a strong record despite allowing over three […]
