Max Domi To Remain Out On Sunday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi (lower body) will sit out a second consecutive game on Sunday against Utah.

Following his exit from the lineup, Pontus Holmberg joined the top six. The likes of […]

Jakub Vrana Sits As Healthy Scratch Saturday

Washington Capitals left wing Jakub Vrana will miss Saturday's game against New Jersey as a healthy scratch. He returns to the press box following a seven-game spell in the team. Vrana's role has been very limited on the team, as he's averaging barely over 10 minutes of ice time for the season, but the 28-year-old […]

Alex Pietrangelo Remains Out Saturday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Montreal. The veteran has been in fine form this season, posting 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in 19 contests. He is ranked just outside the top 10 in the defensemen scoring list. Additionally, Pietrangelo boasts 34 blocks […]

William Eklund A Game-Time Call For Saturday

San Jose Sharks left wing William Eklund (undisclosed) has been labeled as a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against Buffalo. The 22-year-old would be a big loss for the Sharks, as Eklund has enjoyed his best spell of the season lately. He has tallied seven points (two goals, five assists) in six games. Only Mikael […]

Kasperi Kapanen Moves To First Line Saturday

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen will skate on the first line in Saturday's matchup against the Rangers.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid will join him on the line. Kapanen's fantasy stock receives a […]

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse (upper body) will return to action on Saturday against the Rangers. He has sat out three games after getting hurt last Saturday in a clash with Toronto. With 18 games played, Nurse has recorded nine points (two goals, seven assists), 45 shots, 32 blocks, and 34 hits. He might have […]

Walker Kessler Might Return To Action Saturday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (hip) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. He will hope to return to the lineup after missing six games.

Kyle Filipowski To Miss Saturday's Game

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) has been listed as out for Saturday's meeting with the Knicks. The rookie big man sprained his right ankle against San Antonio on Thursday.

Jordan Clarkson Considered Questionable For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) might be absent for a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Knicks. The team considers him questionable for the matchup. Clarkson's absence opens up backcourt minutes for the likes of Isaiah Collier and Johnny Juzang. The two aren't reliable fantasy options, although Collier did a good job as […]

Miles McBride Questionable To Face Jazz

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with Utah. McBride hasn't featured in four games due to a knee problem, and there's a strong chance he remains on the shelf this weekend. Cameron Payne has had a good stretch during McBride's absence off the […]

Joel Embiid To Remain Out On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will be out until at least next week. After playing in three consecutive games, Embiid was removed from the lineup on Friday against Brooklyn, and according to ESPN's Shams Charania, the former MVP will continue to sit on Sunday when Philadelphia faces the Clippers. Embiid is managing swelling in […]

Nikola Jokic Returns To Action Friday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) is expected to return to action on Friday against Dallas. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Jokic will be available for the matchup.

Torrey Craig Available Versus Hawks

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (lower leg) will be in the lineup on Friday against Atlanta. He hurt his lower leg versus Milwaukee on Wednesday but avoided serious injury, and the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Replacing Patrick Williams (foot), Craig made his first start of the campaign on Wednesday. The veteran […]

Jarace Walker Ready To Face Bucks

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (illness) will be good to go on Friday against Milwaukee. He's been battling an illness, but the team has upgraded Walker from questionable to available ahead of the game. Walker's role on the team has grown in recent weeks, and he was even a starter on Monday versus Toronto. […]

Ben Sheppard Misses A Third Consecutive Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Ben Sheppard (oblique) has been ruled out for Friday's clash against Milwaukee. He will sit out a third consecutive game due to an oblique injury. Before getting hurt, Sheppard saw at least 23 minutes of action in five straight games. Quenton Jackson has picked his minutes, producing a pair of mixed performances. […]

Anfernee Simons Returns To Action Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (hand) will rejoin the action on Friday against Houston. He has missed three games with a hand injury.

Jerami Grant Ready For Action Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) will suit up for Friday's meeting with Houston. His status was initially thrown into doubt when he popped up on the injury report with an illness. However, the team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Grant will look to end a poor spell. He has scored only […]

Deandre Ayton Remains Out On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Friday versus Houston. He was initially considered doubtful for the clash, meaning Ayton's return in Saturday's rematch between the teams isn't likely either. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III will continue to cover the minutes at the five position. Clingan has […]

Yves Missi Will Not Play On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will sit out Friday's game against Golden State. He has been ruled out for the contest after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Trey Jemison are set to benefit from Missi's absence. Robinson-Earl looks like the better fantasy option of the two, […]

Stephen Curry Available Versus Pelicans

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will play on Friday versus New Orleans. He has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off. Curry has been extremely efficient with his work in 2024-25, posting 23.0 points in 29.2 minutes with 44.1 percent shooting from three-point range. He's had a lighter workload due […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against Indiana. The team has upgraded Antetokounmpo from probable to available.

Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. The Nets big man has shaken off a lower back problem and a probable tag in the process. Ben Simmons has been Brooklyn's starting center during Claxton's absence and must settle for a lesser role now that he's back. […]

CJ McCollum Remains Unavailable On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will remain out on Friday versus Golden State. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out, missing a 13th consecutive game. Elfrid Payton should receive another start with McCollum on the shelf. He had a solid season debut with 11 points, five rebounds, and eight assists on Wednesday […]

Vince Dunn Could Be An Option For Kraken Next Week

Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn (upper body) might be back in action next week. He will join the team for a brief two-game road trip, which begins on Saturday in L.A., but Dunn isn't quite ready to play yet. However, per Scott Malone of Root Sports, Dunn could return to the lineup later next week. […]

York has recorded three […]

Mason McTavish Remains Out On Friday

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish (upper body) will be sidelined for a sixth consecutive game on Friday against Buffalo.

However, Friday's game comes too soon for McTavish, who has recorded eight points (two […]

Tage Thompson Continues To Sit On Friday

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday versus Anaheim.
