Jay Huff Active Versus Rockets

Memphis Grizzlies center Jay Huff (knee) will be active on Monday against Houston. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Huff has impressed at times this season, but he currently lacks fantasy value, as the Grizzlies have all their big guys healthy. The 27-year-old will only see backup minutes on Monday and likely will […]

Ja Morant Good To Go Monday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (illness) has been cleared to play on Monday against Houston. Morant has not been feeling well and was a late addition to the injury report. However, he has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of tip-off. The Grizzlies star struggled last time out against Minnesota, netting only 12 points, […]

Tari Eason Ruled Out For Monday's Game

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) will remain absent on Monday against Memphis. He will sit out a 12th consecutive game for lower leg injury management purposes. Eason enjoyed a strong start to the season but has now missed a month of action. It's unclear when he will be available to return, as the […]

Josh Richardson To Miss At Least Two More Games

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will be out for at least two more games. He won't play in Monday's matchup against the Clippers and has also been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Lakers.

Jericho Sims Ruled Out For Monday

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (back) will not play on Monday against Detroit. He was a late addition to the injury report and has been ruled out due to back spasms. Sims is way down in the pecking order at center, so his absence will not impact the Knicks, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns healthy […]

Vladislav Namestnikov Not Ready To Return On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body) will remain out on Tuesday against Vancouver. A lower-body injury will keep him sidelined for a second straight game. Namestnikov skated before Monday's practice, so he might be ready to rejoin the action later in the week. Winnipeg hasn't gotten much offensive production out of Namestnikov recently, but […]

Filip Hronek Regarded As Game-Time Decision For Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Filip Hronek (lower body) has returned to the team and will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against Winnipeg. Hronek hasn't featured for Vancouver since Nov. 27. He initially sustained a shoulder injury but has also missed time due to a lower-body ailment. Last week, Hronek spent some time with the […]

Alexander Wennberg Expected To Return To Action On Tuesday

San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday against Detroit. Wennberg missed Saturday's matchup against Minnesota due to an illness, but Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky said on Monday that Wennberg will travel to the game and should play in Tuesday's contest. Wennberg has slightly increased […]

Rory Kerins Set For NHL Debut On Monday

Calgary Flames forward Rory Kerins will make his NHL debut in Monday's matchup against Chicago. The 22-year-old will get his first taste of action in the big league following an impressive campaign in the minors. Kerins has produced a league-high 21 goals in the AHL and is ranked fourth in overall scoring with 34 points […]

Craig Smith Remains Out On Monday

Chicago Blackhawks center Craig Smith (back) will not be available against Calgary on Monday. The 35-year-old is battling a back injury, which will keep him out of the lineup for a third consecutive contest. Playing in a bottom-six role, Smith has recorded six goals and 11 assists in 30 appearances this season. The best days […]

Ilya Sorokin Returns To Practice Monday

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin (illness) practiced on Monday. He was back on the ice after missing Saturday's game against Utah due to illness. Marcus Hogberg helped the team to a 2-1 victory with 21 saves over the weekend. Hogberg's performance was solid, but Sorokin is expected to return to the crease on Tuesday […]

Tari Eason Considered Doubtful For Monday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Dec. 14 and is not expected to return to the lineup on Monday as Eason continues to manage a left lower leg injury. Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate have enjoyed expanded roles during Eason's […]

Brice Sensabaugh Returns To Jazz Lineup Sunday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (conditioning) will end a three-game absence on Sunday against Brooklyn. At the start of the week, he was knocked out of the lineup by an illness, but Sensabaugh has worked his way back into game shape ahead of Sunday's action. We should see plenty of him in the game as […]

Kyle Filipowski Active Versus Nets

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an ankle sprain. Utah won't have many big bodies in the lineup on Sunday, so the stage is set for Filipowski to enjoy a productive outing. However, his recent […]

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Sunday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will not play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He will miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to back spasms. Markkanen's absence means Collin Sexton will be the only regular starter available for the contest. Players such as Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk will have expanded roles on Sunday, […]

Jonathan Kuminga Out For Fifth Consecutive Game

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will miss a fifth straight game on Monday against Toronto. The 22-year-old is recovering from an ankle sprain and is wearing a walking boot. He's seven days into a projected three-week recovery period, so the Warriors will have to be without him for quite some time. Luckily for […]

Gary Payton II Listed As Out For Monday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) has been listed as out for Monday's clash against Toronto. Following Sunday's practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr labeled Payton II as questionable, but it looks like he still needs some time to work himself into game shape. The defensive specialist has missed nine games due to […]

Brandin Podziemski Remains Sidelined Monday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Monday against Toronto. Podziemski is making progress and can run at full speed, but he stated on Sunday that he isn't yet nearing a return. Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, and Moses Moody have additional playing opportunities with Podziemski out. […]

Andrew Wiggins Ready To Return Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) has rejoined the team and will play on Monday against Toronto. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed the news after Wiggins practiced on Sunday. Wiggins struggled in his last outing, producing nine points on 4-for-10 shooting against Miami, so having some time off might have even benefited him. […]

Draymond Green Expected To Play On Monday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against Toronto. The veteran missed Friday's game against Indiana due to a back issue. He is officially listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's action. However, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk has reported that Warriors head coach Steve […]

Stephen Curry Not Listed On Injury Report For Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) has not been listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Toronto. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday versus Indiana because of bilateral knee injury management. However, Curry practiced on Sunday and will be ready to return to action against the […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Ruled Out Sunday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Still, he appeared to be on track to play on Sunday when the team listed him as probable on the initial injury report. However, the veteran has been ruled […]

Caleb Martin Misses Sunday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Caleb Martin (groin) will not suit up for Sunday's contest against Orlando. He was a late addition to the injury report and has been ruled out due to a sore right groin. Eric Gordon will move to the starting unit as Martin's replacement. The veteran sharpshooter has had a tough campaign but […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) will not return to action in Sunday's matchup against Orlando. He will miss a fourth consecutive game after being initially regarded as questionable for the contest. Philadelphia will also be without Andre Drummond (toe), meaning Guerschon Yabusele is set for another busy outing. Adem Bona will serve as […]

Ty Jerome Ruled Out For Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. This comes as no surprise after Cleveland listed Jerome as doubtful on the initial injury report. Jerome's absence should slightly boost Sam Merrill and Caris LeVert from a fantasy perspective, while Craig Porter Jr. might break back into the rotation […]

Walker Kessler Resting On Sunday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (rest) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. Following a 31-minute outing against Phoenix on Saturday, the Jazz are resting the seven-foot giant. John Collins (hip) also remains out of the lineup, and several other frontcourt pieces are questionable for the contest. This could lead to Drew […]

Dejounte Murray Active On Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) will be active against Boston on Sunday. Murray is dealing with a couple of health issues right now, but he has been upgraded from questionable to available. The 28-year-old will have a significant role in slowing down Boston's backcourt, and Murray should also have a major part […]

Aaron Ekblad To Sit Out At Least Two More Games

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) will remain behind as the team kicks off the new week with road contests against Philadelphia and New Jersey. Ekblad is battling an unspecified ailment and has missed two of the past three games. Tobias Bjornfot played against Boston instead of Ekblad on Friday, with Dmitry Kulikov moving to […]

Jordan Staal Looks To Take Goal Streak To Four Games

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal has heated up recently and will enter Sunday's clash against Anaheim with a three-game goal streak. He can become the third player in franchise history to have a goal streak of at least four games at age 36 or older. Staal's current hot spell includes his fourth career hat trick, […]

Adin Hill Scheduled To Start On Sunday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill is scheduled to make his 27th start of the campaign in Sunday's matchup against Minnesota. He returns to the crease after Ilya Samsonov faced the Rangers on Saturday night. Hill has had a good season, amassing a 17-7-2 record with a pair of shutouts. His goals-against average stands at […]
