Coby White Ruled Out For Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup versus Portland. He was already unlikely to play in the contest after the team labeled him as doubtful on the initial injury report. This will be the third straight game White misses. Ayo Dosunmu was massive for the Bulls in the previous […]

Kristaps Porzingis Returns To Celtics Lineup

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will return from a five-game absence on Monday versus Detroit, with the team upgrading him from probable to available ahead of the contest. He's a natural replacement in the lineup for Al Horford (toe), who gets the night off, while Porzingis could play a larger role offensively due to […]

Jaylen Brown Ready To Go On Monday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Monday versus Detroit.

Kevin Love Misses 10th Consecutive Game

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will see his absence stretch to 10 games on Monday against Philadelphia. The veteran is battling a right heel bruise. Thomas Bryant has crept into the rotation lately, but Love's injury means a lot of Bam Adebayo on the Heat frontcourt. Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith have also played […]

Nikola Jovic Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hamstring) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday versus Philadelphia. The young forward has suffered a right hamstring strain. Following Sunday's win over Detroit, Jovic said he feels like he can get back on the court soon, so it's possible the 20-year-old can return on Wednesday versus Cleveland. His […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Heat star sits out a second consecutive contest with a foot contusion. Butler's absence boosts the fantasy value of Jaime Jaquez Jr., who moved to the starting unit on Sunday versus Detroit. Meanwhile, it also secures […]

Simone Fontecchio Unavailable Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) will miss Monday's meeting with the Celtics. He was initially labeled as questionable for the game but has now been ruled out with a toe contusion.

Pavel Buchnevich Delivers Three Assists In Sunday's Win

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich contributed on three goals in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Anaheim, skating away with a hat trick of assists.

Ryan Lindgren Suffers Leg Injury Versus Islanders

New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren suffered an apparent leg injury in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Scotty Pippen Jr. Misses Second Consecutive Game

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will remain sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings. He couldn't play on Saturday versus OKC due to shin soreness and will continue to sit against Sacramento with the same issue. Pippen Jr. has played well when he's been available, but that hasn't happened too often lately. […]

Luke Kennard Unavailable On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) won't be in the lineup on Monday versus Sacramento. After playing in seven of the last eight games, Kennard needs to take some time off for personal reasons. The sweet-shooting 27-year-old has been a regular starter lately, meaning another change in the first unit is coming on Monday for […]

Vince Williams Jr. Doubtful To Face Kings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is considered doubtful to play against Sacramento on Monday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games.

John Collins Ready To Return On Monday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (rest) is set to return to the lineup on Monday versus Minnesota, as he isn't listed on the injury report.

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) has officially been listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against Atlanta. He suffered a left corneal abrasion on Saturday against Golden State, playing only in the first quarter.

Dorian Finney-Smith Good To Go On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will play against San Antonio on Sunday. He's been battling left ankle soreness, but the team has upgraded Finney-Smith from probable to available. The 30-year-old is enjoying a good month and should have a productive evening against an up-tempo team that usually struggles defensively. Finney-Smith has averaged 11.3 points, […]

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (nose) will miss Monday's matchup against Indiana. After returning from a knee injury, Mitchell lasted just two games in the lineup, breaking his nose in Saturday's contest against Houston.

Sam Hauser, Oshae Brissett Join Boston's Starting Unit

Boston Celtics forwards Sam Hauser and Oshae Brissett will join the starting lineup on Sunday against Washington.
