Ben Simmons Out Monday Versus Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simmons played 13 minutes before exiting Sunday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion. His knee is not mentioned on the team's injury report, so he's likely not suiting up due to maintenance related to his back. […]

Ziaire Williams Out Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ziaire Williams (knee) will not play on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Williams sustained a left knee sprain late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Magic. The severity of the sprain is currently unknown.

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Probable Despite Illness

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) may be dealing with an illness right now, but it doesn't seem to be too severe since the team has listed him as probable. He was forced to sit out against the Utah Jazz on Sunday, so the rest day seemed to get him ready for the second […]

Cameron Johnson Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest with the Chicago Bulls. Johnson injured his ankle on Sunday and was diagnosed with a sprain. The 28-year-old has been in fine form this campaign, putting up a career-high 18.1 points and is 42.2 percent shooting from three-point range. If Johnson cannot suit up, […]

Anthony Davis Considered Probable To Play Monday

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (foot) remains on the injury report for official purposes but is considered probable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. The Kentucky product is firmly in the MVP race this season and has put up some monstrous numbers to start off the year. Through 19 appearances, he's averaging […]

Jordan Hawkins Ruled Out Monday Versus Atlanta

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) has been ruled out of a third consecutive contest due to lower back soreness. The second-year shooting guard has had back issues all year which has kept him out of a handful of games so far. Trey Murphy III and Brandon Boston Jr. will continue to play in […]

Herbert Jones Considered Doubtful Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks since he's still dealing with a right shoulder strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to play since October 29, and will likely miss at least one more game. Yves Missi has joined the starting five since Zion Williamson […]

Brandon Ingram Deemed Questionable Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he still suffers from tendonitis in his calf. He's been forced to miss the last four consecutive games with the same issue. If he's downgraded to out again on Monday, Trey Murphy III and Javonte Green should see a […]

Jrue Holiday, Al Horford Ruled Out On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) and center Al Horford (toe) have both been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Horford was expected to take a rest day after playing in the first half of their back-to-back. Holiday, on the other hand, seems to be dealing with tendinopathy in his right knee […]

Derrick White Questionable Again On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) drew another questionable tag on Monday against the Miami Heat while he deals with a right-foot sprain, which caused him to be downgraded to out on Sunday. Since it was painful enough to downgrade him in the first half of the back-to-back, there's a decent chance he will take […]

Jaylen Brown Tagged As Questionable With Illness

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is dealing with a non-COVID illness, which has landed him on the injury report as questionable to face the Miami Heat. He was unable to play in their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as well, so the team will likely wait for warm-ups to see if he can […]

Jayson Tatum Questionable Monday Against Heat

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) has been tagged as questionable on Monday and may sit out against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game yet this season, so a rest day may be in order to deal with his patella tendinopathy. If he actually is unable to play, Jaylen […]

Kevin Love Ruled Out On Monday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (back) continues to deal with back spasms and has been ruled out for the team's Monday night contest against the Boston Celtics. He was able to play in their last two games but only registered 13 and nine minutes respectively. With Love out of the rotation, it shouldn't cause that […]

Terry Rozier Available On Monday Against Celtics

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (foot) has officially been deemed available for the team's Monday night matchup against the Boston Celtics. He's dealing with a neuroma in his foot which is a swollen nerve or group of nerves in the ball of the foot. So, it becomes more of a pain tolerance issue as he […]

Paolo Banchero Getting Back To Light, Non-Contact Court Work

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) hasn't played since October 30 due to an oblique injury but seems to be trending in the right direction. He told Sports Illustrated that he was feeling good and returned to the court where he got some ball-handling and spot-shooting work done. He wasn't able to do any sprinting […]

Joel Embiid Will Remain Sidelined Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee/personal) will reportedly be ruled out again for Tuesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. According to Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, Embiid will miss another game due to left knee injury management and personal reasons. This will mark his 15th missed game of the season, and Guerschon Yabusele will likely see […]

Coby White Regarded As Questionable For Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is considered questionable to play against Brooklyn on Monday. After dealing with a wrist injury, White hurt his left ankle against Boston on Friday. Talen Horton-Tucker has provided excellent bench scoring for the Bulls lately and might see extra action with White unavailable on Monday. At the same time, […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Likely To Return On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Monday versus New Orleans. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Bogdanovic sat out Saturday's contest against Charlotte as Atlanta completed a back-to-back. The veteran scorer has returned from a hamstring injury, and the Hawks don't want to overwork […]

Trae Young Listed As Probable For Monday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Monday's action against New Orleans.

Kevin Porter Jr. Sidelined Versus Nuggets

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) will sit out Sunday's tilt against Denver. He hurt his left ankle in Friday's 93-92 loss to Minnesota. Porter Jr. scored a season-high 17 points and had three steals in Friday's contest. He's carved out a decent role on the Clippers squad, averaging 8.8 points, 3.5 […]

Kevin Huerter Out On Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kevin Huerter (ankle) will not play in Sunday's contest against San Antonio. He injured his right ankle against Portland on Friday and was previously already considered doubtful for the game. Huerter's absence should guarantee extra work for Keon Ellis and Malik Monk. The latter has far more fantasy appeal, especially as Monk […]

Norman Powell Ready To Rock Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will return to action on Sunday against Denver. He has finally recovered from a hamstring strain, which kept Powell sidelined for six games. The 31-year-old is off to a great start to the season and has even started to sneak into All-Star conversations. Powell has averaged 23.3 points […]

Kris Murray Active On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (sternum) will be in the lineup on Sunday against Dallas. He's nursing a bruised sternum, but the team has upgraded Murray from probable to available. Murray has a limited role with the Trail Blazers, averaging 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds across 13.7 minutes. Dallas allows the third-fewest bench points […]

Jerami Grant Back In Action Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) will return from a two-game absence against Dallas on Sunday. The team has upgraded him to available after initially listing Grant as questionable for the game with a left knee sprain, which has bothered him for a bit. The Trail Blazers continue to roll with a thin lineup, […]

Scoot Henderson Will Not Play Against Mavericks

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Scoot Henderson (quadriceps) will miss Sunday's contest against Dallas. He has been available for only one of the previous five games and won't return to action on Sunday after Portland initially listed Henderson as questionable for the game. Dalano Banton will continue to benefit from Henderson's absence, though his performances […]

Klay Thompson Out For Fourth Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will continue to sit against Portland on Sunday, missing a fourth straight game. The former All-Star is struggling to shake off a left foot injury. Luka Doncic (wrist) will be back on Sunday, but Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Dereck Lively II (knee), and Naji Marshall (illness) join Thompson on the […]

Dereck Lively II Unavailable Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland. He injured his right knee in Saturday's matchup versus Utah. Due to Lively II's absence, Daniel Gafford gets a chance to join the first unit, with Maxi Kleber working as the backup big. Portland struggles to rebound the ball, […]

Naji Marshall Will Not Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will miss his first game of the season on Sunday versus Portland. He continues to battle an illness, which limited Marshall to 13 minutes against Utah on Saturday. Marshall had scored 20-plus points in four consecutive games before settling for only three points in Saturday's game. He's put in […]

Luka Doncic Returns To Action Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (wrist) will return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Portland. The team has upgraded Doncic from questionable to available, marking the end of a five-game absence for the Slovenian superstar. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) will exit the lineup on Sunday, meaning this should fully be the Doncic show. Only […]

DeMar DeRozan Returns To Kings Lineup Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (back) will return to work on Sunday versus San Antonio. He's missed a couple of games due to lower back inflammation. New signing Jae Crowder made a pair of starts during DeRozan's absence and is set to land on the bench now. DeRozan's debut campaign in Sacramento has gone well, […]
