Doug McDermott To Remain Absent On Monday

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

LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag Monday

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

Anthony Davis Listed As Questionable For Monday

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. Caris LeVert is set for a fresh boost in fantasy value without Mitchell, while Darius Garland will once again carry a […]

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.

Cedi Osman Returns To Spurs Lineup On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs forward Cedi Osman (ankle) will be back in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. The team has upgraded Osman from questionable to available. 28-year-old will return from a four-game absence.

After playing in six of the last seven games, Isaac misses Sunday's action with left knee injury maintenance. Isaac has been very productive lately, averaging 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 18.6 minutes. Caleb Houstan should grab […]

RJ Barrett Remains Unavailable Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will remain out of the lineup on Sunday against Orlando. He's mourning the passing of his younger brother and is without a timeline for a return. Sunday's matchup will be the third straight contest Barrett misses. Bruce Brown's role has increased during Barrett's absence. He's a great fantasy asset […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Remain Out Against Washington

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's contest against Washington. Porzingis misses a chance to face his former team due to a right hamstring strain, sitting out a fifth consecutive game. He's missed a week of action with the injury but shouldn't be out for much longer, as Boston considers him […]

Derrick White Misses Sunday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) won't feature against Washington on Sunday. The C's kick off a back-to-back in D.C., and White will be kept out of the lineup with a left-hand sprain.

Marvin Bagley III Continues To Sit On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) will miss a seventh straight game on Sunday versus the Celtics. The big man remains on the injury report with lower back spasms and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday in a matchup against Houston.

Tyus Jones Not Ready To Return On Sunday

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be out for a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston.

Deni Avdija Remains Out On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) will sit out a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He was a late scratch on Saturday against Chicago and will miss another game with a right knee contusion. Avdija's absence is set to give Corey Kispert another start.

Nick Schmaltz Records Three Assists In Win Over New Jersey

Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Schmaltz had a season-high three assists as the team cruised to a 4-1 victory over New Jersey on Saturday. He collected his first helper when J.J. Moser opened the scoring 9:37 into the first period, added a power-play assist on Dylan Guenther's first-period goal, and completed the three-point outing with an […]

Artemi Panarin Racks Up Five Points In Saturday's Win

MarJon Beauchamp Questionable To Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) carries a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. He's been battling back spasms lately and could be unavailable for a third straight game. Beauchaump's absence wouldn't typically hurt Milwaukee, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and Malik Beasley (back) are also questionable for Sunday. The 23-year-old would be a […]

Khris Middleton On Track To Return Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's contest against Phoenix, which signals he's ready to return to the lineup. Middleton last played on Feb. 6 and has missed the past 16 games with a left ankle sprain. Jae Crowder has been filling in for him in the starting unit […]

Tyus Jones Won't Play Against Chicago

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with the Bulls. He was already doubtful for the game with lower back spasms, so Jones' absence won't come as a surprise. Impressively, he had so far featured in every game for Washington this season. Jordan Poole has started to rebuild […]

Jordan Clarkson Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game as the team gets ready to face Minnesota on Saturday night. The versatile scorer is battling a groin strain.

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (rest) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against Minnesota. After playing in every game since Dec. 18, Collins will sit out the matchup for rest purposes.
