Jayson Tatum Could Miss Thursday's Action

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) could sit out Thursday's outing versus Detroit as the Eastern Conference leaders start a back-to-back.

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's encounter with the Pistons. He suffered a lower back contusion in a collision with LeBron James on Monday.

Ausar Thompson (illness) and Marvin Bagley III are the leading […]

Ausar Thompson Listed As Probable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (illness)is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Celtics. The 20-year-old is battling an illness, which limited him to just nine minutes last time out against Brooklyn. Thompson started his rookie campaign with a bang, but he's had a couple of difficult weeks, and it's definitely not easy […]

Killian Hayes Probable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is regarded as probable for Thursday's matchup against Boston. Hayes has been sidelined for four games, and he's actually had the probable tag a couple of times during his absence, so it might not mean he's on track to return. Jaden Ivey has made four consecutive starts with Hayes […]

Jusuf Nurkic Likely To Return On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (personal) looks poised to return to the court Wednesday versus Houston. He's sat out the last two games for personal reasons but is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup. Nurkic has been a double-double machine while offering two-way value for fantasy managers. He's averaging 12.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, […]

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Brooklyn.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. Orlando is finishing a back-to-back, and Isaac didn't play Tuesday versus Washington. The injury-prone forward has averaged only 13.6 minutes for the season and isn't a big miss from the rotation. However, with Gary Harris (calf) on the injury report […]

Gary Harris Questionable Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Philadelphia. Following Tuesday's 19-minute shift versus Washington, Harris has landed on the injury report with a right calf strain.

Nicolas Batum Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game ahead of the team's visit to Orlando. Batum's numbers haven't been anything special this season, but he's been a starter for Philadelphia, and the team definitely misses his presence. Kelly Oubre Jr. has moved into the starting unit in Batum's […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) will sit out a second consecutive game Wednesday versus Orlando. The Sixers will face one of the toughest defenses in the league without the reigning scoring champion, but Embiid's absence opens up opportunities for others.

Joe Ingles Questionable For Tuesday's Game

Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) continues to carry a questionable tag as the team gets set to resume its season on Tuesday versus Washington.

Isaiah Stewart Listed As Probable Tuesday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (toe) is considered probable for Tuesday's contest against the Nets.

Killian Hayes Probable For Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nets. The young Frenchman has missed three games with an illness.

He's officially regarded as probable for the game after missing eight contests with a left ankle sprain.

LeBron James Questionable For Christmas Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is regarded as questionable for a clash with Boston on Christmas Day. James sat out a game last week with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he's been playing through health issues for most of the season, and it would be a surprise if he didn't suit up on […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of Monday's Christmas showdown against the Celtics. He's been on the report for almost the entire season, but Davis has missed only two games, so fantasy managers shouldn't stress too much about his status ahead of Monday's special game. Davis is having […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Christmas Matchup

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is listed as probable for Monday's Christmas matchup against the Knicks. He's been on the injury report lately with a right midfoot sprain, but Antetokounmpo has battled through the ailment and is fully expected to continue to do so on Christmas. The Bucks superstar had his Christmas Day debut […]

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable For Meeting With Lakers

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) might have to skip a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Lakers.

However, it looks likely that Caldwell-Pope will remain in the lineup for a […]

Aaron Gordon Listed As Probable For Christmas Battle

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (heel) is considered probable for Monday's Christmas matchup against Golden State. He's been bothered by a right heel strain for a bit, but it doesn't appear to be a serious injury, as Gordon has appeared in 11 consecutive games. Gordon's scoring numbers have dipped this season, mainly due to […]

Joel Embiid Officially Out On Christmas Day

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) will miss Christmas Day action against Miami. After spraining his right ankle Friday versus Toronto, the reigning MVP hasn't had enough time to recover.

Damon Severson Returns To Action Against Toronto

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Damon Severson (oblique) will make his comeback on Saturday against Toronto, ending a 15-game absence.

Andrei Kuzmenko Set To Return To Canucks Lineup Saturday

Vancouver Canucks winger Andrei Kuzmenko will rejoin the lineup Saturday against San Jose. He's been on the shelf for two games as a healthy scratch.
