Bennedict Mathurin Iffy For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

During Mathurin's absence, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard hold additional fantasy value, with Nesmith being the better fantasy target. On Monday against the […]

Myles Turner May Miss Another Game Wednesday

Jrue Holiday Questionable For Wednesday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Miami Heat.

Jaylen Brown Could Remain On The Shelf Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Miami Heat.
