Alex Ovechkin Extends Goal Streak To Five Games

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin scored in a fifth consecutive contest in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Vancouver. The veteran star, who set a new NHL record with his 57th career empty-net goal on Saturday versus Boston, has massively struggled in front of the net this season, and it will be a big relief […]

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas matched his season high with a four-point effort on Sunday as the team picked apart the Canadiens 7-2.

Jaden McDaniels Questionable For Monday's Action

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) is regarded as questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Clippers.

Ziaire Williams Doubtful Monday

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (hand) is considered doubtful to face the Pelicans on Monday.

Derrick Rose Considered Doubtful For Monday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is doubtful to play Monday versus New Orleans.

With Memphis' backcourt thin […]

De'Andre Hunter Available Again Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with Chicago.

Maxi Kleber Probable For Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) has been listed as probable for Monday's contest against Washington. Kleber recently suffered a nasal fracture but has been playing through the injury and is expected to remain in the lineup on Monday.

Justin Schultz Out On Saturday For Personal Reasons

Seattle Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz has personal business to take care of and won't feature on Saturday against Philadelphia. Schultz has gone scoreless five times in his past six appearances, but it's been a solid campaign overall for the 33-year-old.

Deandre Ayton Questionable For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans. He has already missed one game with an illness this week and could be absent again for the same reason.

Gary Payton II Removed From Injury Report

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (hamstring) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's battle with Phoenix. He's set to return to the lineup for the first time since Jan. 2. Health issues have left a major dent on Payton II's season, as the defensive specialist has featured in just 16 games. He […]

Bradley Beal Listed As Probable Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is considered probable for Saturday's contest against Golden State. The veteran star is nursing a right ankle sprain, but he was able to log 37 minutes despite the injury on Thursday versus Utah, and it looks like he will be good to go for Saturday's big matchup. Beal had […]

Jalen Smith Questionable Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. The 23-year-old has been a regular on the injury report lately with lower back spasms, and he couldn't complete Thursday's matchup versus Golden State due to the issue.

Tyrese Haliburton Remains On Injury Report Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is once again carrying a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Knicks.

However, Haliburton will likely remain under a […]

Jalen Brunson Questionable For Saturday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Indiana. The first-year All-Star continues to deal with a right ankle sprain that kept him off the court Thursday versus Dallas. Miles McBride had the keys to the offense without Brunson. He put in a massive 45-minute shift and provided good […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Out On Saturday

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) won't play on Saturday versus Indiana. The seven-footer is out with a sore left Achilles after being limited to 15 minutes of action in the previous game against Dallas.
