Kristaps Porzingis Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (toe) is considered questionable for Tuesday's rematch with the Timberwolves.

The injury doesn't sound too bad […]

Damian Lillard Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) has picked up a questionable tag for Tuesday's matchup against New Orleans. He's been back to his best in recent games and it will be a bummer if we won't get to see Lillard in action again. However, the good news is that he's listed questionable with […]

Paul George Considered Questionable For Monday's Action

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's clash with San Antonio. He's sat out five consecutive games with a right elbow strain, and many of the Clippers fringe players have picked up the slack. Luke Kennard has produced a few very good performances in the starting unit, and even […]

Tyus Jones Out On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Tyus Jones (finger) won't play on Monday against Oklahoma City. He was set for a lesser role anyway, with Ja Morant (knee) coming back, and Jones' absence shouldn't affect the team much. The 25-year-old had a decent spell as a starter, but Morant's return gives his fantasy stock a big hit […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Fills In For Gordon Hayward In Starting Unit

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. will make his 10th start of the season on Monday against Utah, replacing Gordon Hayward (back).

Mark Stone's Injury Not Believed To Be Serious

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone should make a quick return to the lineup from an upper-body injury that kept him out of Sunday's contest against the Islanders. "He missed time earlier in the year, and it was serious. I don't think that's the case this time around," said Vegas head coach Pete DeBoer […]

Alex Tuch Ready For His Season Debut

Buffalo Sabres winger Alex Tuch (shoulder) has been cleared for action and will make his season debut when the team continues its season.

Jared Spurgeon Placed On Injured Reserve

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday and it appears that he's looking at a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Kevin Fiala Moves To Second Line With Jordan Greenway Out

Minnesota Wild winger Kevin Fiala will join the second line on Monday against Dallas, replacing Jordan Greenway (lower body). The Swiss sniper has blown hot and cold throughout the season and sits on 18 points with 29 games played. He's scored only four goals despite firing off 93 shots and there's a lot of room […]

Cam Talbot Heads Out For Minnesota Against Dallas

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot will pick up his 23rd start of the season on Monday against Dallas, looking for his 16th win. He's done very well this season, but Talbot has lost back-to-back starts and the team sits on a three-game losing streak overall, so things could be complicated in Texas. Talbot is among […]

Jake Oettinger Takes On Minnesota Monday Night

Alex Ovechkin Logs 27 Minutes But Can't Extend His Point Streak

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin logged a season-high 27:07 in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Los Angeles but failed to extend his seven-game point streak. The Capitals were without a number of key forwards and the top line did most of the work, with Lars Eller going for 23:27 of action and Daniel Strong hitting […]

Garret Sparks Pushes Away 33 Shots In His Comeback Game

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Garret Sparks had a memorable comeback game on Sunday against Washington, producing 33 saves in a 3-2 victory. It was his first start since April 2019.

Matt Roy Dishes Out Two Assists In Sunday's Win

Tristan Jarry Needs To Make Only 17 Saves For Another Win

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry had an easy night at the office on Sunday against New Jersey, stopping 17 of 19 shots for his fifth consecutive win.
