Dean Wade Could Return Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (ankle) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He appears to be nearing his return, as the team has previously listed Wade out for seven consecutive games. The 29-year-old hasn't played since March 24 due to a right ankle sprain. […]

Jaylon Tyson Questionable Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Jaylon Tyson (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old sophomore is nursing a toe injury and hasn't played since March 19. When he eventually returns, Tyson could be on a minutes limit, which would further decrease his fantasy appeal. Tyson's fantasy stock took a big hit in […]

Jerami Grant Unavailable Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) will be out for a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs.

He […]

Shaedon Sharpe Picks Up Doubtful Tag

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) has been upgraded to doubtful on the injury report before Wednesday's action against the San Antonio Spurs.

James Harden Available Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden (personal) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The team hasn't included him on the injury report.

Jordan Staal Good to Go Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the Boston Bruins.
