Luke Kornet Doubtful For Monday's Game

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Monday's meeting with New Orleans. The seven-footer exited Saturday's contest against the Clippers due to tightness in his left hamstring, and it appears likely that the same issue will keep Kornet completely sidelined on Monday. As the third big on the depth chart, Kornet doesn't […]

Frank Ntilikina Questionable Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard Frank Ntilikina (hip) is questionable to play on Monday versus the Knicks. The defensive specialist appeared in Charlotte's rotation in back-to-back games last week but had to sit out Saturday's clash against Utah due to discomfort in his left hip.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) continues to carry a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Saturday's battle with the Warriors.

Anthony Davis Questionable Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Golden State. He could be out for only the third time this season. Davis has never played more than 75 games in a single season, so he's on track for a career-high in that regard. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much […]

Kristaps Porzingis Considered Doubtful For Saturday

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Clippers on Saturday night. The former All-Star sprained his left ankle in Thursday's matchup against the Heat, and it looks like he'll have to sit out his 13th game of the season.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old was limited to only 7:17 of action against Toronto on Wednesday, and he would be out for the first time this season if Morrissey isn't in the lineup on Saturday. However, he was able […]

Tyler Bertuzzi Returns To Practice Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Tyler Bertuzzi (personal) was back in practice Friday and should be ready to rejoin the lineup Saturday versus the Jets.

Marc-Andre Fleury Might Return On Saturday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury (upper body) could return to the lineup on Saturday against Anaheim.
