Dustin Wolf Looks To Return To Winning Ways Versus Stars

Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf will attempt to end a two-game losing streak in Sunday's matchup against Dallas. Following an impressive 5-0-1 run, Wolf has allowed four goals in back-to-back games, taking a pair of beating from Ottawa and Columbus. He has yet to lose three starts on the trot this season. Wolf's consistency has […]

Nikita Kucherov Returns With Three-Point Effort

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov had a big comeback game on Sunday against Vancouver, notching three points in a 4-2 road win.

Petr Mrazek Placed On injured Reserve

The Blackhawks remain […]

Jaxson Stauber Faces Flyers Sunday

Utah Hockey Club goaltender Jaxson Stauber will get the start for Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia. This marks only his second appearance of the season. Stauber's season debut couldn't have gone any better, as he took down a strong Vegas team with 29 saves in a 6-0 win on Nov. 30. The result gives Stauber an […]

Samuel Ersson Back In Flyers Crease On Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) will guard the crease in Sunday's meeting with Utah.

Jamie Drysdale Returns To Action Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (upper body) will return to action on Sunday versus Utah. He's been unavailable for the past 12 games because of an upper-body injury. The 2024-25 campaign has been a struggle for Drysdale, who has notched all of his three points (one goal, two assists) in power-play situations and sits on […]

Victor Wembanyama Returns To Spurs Lineup

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (back) will return from a two-game absence on Sunday against New Orleans. A back problem has kept Wembanyama on the sidelines for a couple of games, but he's good to go again on Sunday in a juicy matchup. The Pelicans have a weak frontcourt, resulting in the team allowing […]

Scott Wedgewood Faces Devils On Sunday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood will be between the sticks for Sunday's matchup against New Jersey. He'll make his second start for the team after arriving from Nashville a week ago. The veteran netminder suffered a 5-3 loss in his first start against Carolina, but Wedgewood has impressed by stopping 52 of 56 shots across […]

Desmond Bane Unavailable Versus Wizards

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) will not play on Sunday against Washington. A sore toe will end a spell of 12 consecutive appearances for Bane, who's had a quiet campaign in 2024-25. Ja Morant (back) also won't play on Sunday, allowing players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Marcus Smart, and Jaylen Wells to step into […]

Ja Morant Out On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (back) will not suit up for Sunday's clash against Washington. After going close to a 30-point triple-double in Saturday's win over Boston, Morant steps aside for at least one game due to back soreness. This is a signal for fantasy managers to fire up Scotty Pippen Jr, who produced […]

Javonte Green Ruled Out For Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Javonte Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against San Antonio. He was already iffy for the game due to ankle soreness and will sit out his first action of the campaign. Green recently had a good spell as a starter on the New Orleans team, but he's been […]

Andrew Wiggins Will Not Play On Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota. The 29-year-old was limited to 19 minutes against the Timberwolves on Friday due to an ankle injury and isn't considered healthy enough to play in Sunday's rematch. 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. He missed Saturday's battle against Washington and was downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day, but Gordon is in the starting lineup for Denver. 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. Atlanta also won't have the services of Jalen Johnson (shoulder), so the game will be extra demanding offensively for the rest […]

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. After picking up a questionable tag due to a sore right shoulder, Johnson has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. This is quite a blow for the streaking Hawks, who have seen Johnson grow into one of the […]

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. The rookie from Sweden has logged 15-plus minutes in six of the last seven contests. Jaime […]

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. The Heat star recently missed one game with a sore knee but looked great last time out against the Lakers. He finished a blowout win on Wednesday with 17 points, nine rebounds, […]

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' […]
