Bones Hyland Questionable Against Portland

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hyland left Sunday's game with an ankle sprain and may be in danger of missing Tuesday's game. If Hyland is unable to go, Bruce Brown would likely take most of the extra minutes. Readers should check back before gametime […]

Jamal Murray Probable To Play Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is probable to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is the third straight game with Murray gaining the probable tag and he's been able to suit up in each of the last two. There should be no doubt in Murray's game status, however if he were to […]

Paul George Listed As Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is listed as questionable against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. George went through the team practice on Monday as he remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Given the participation in practice and the questionable tag, George appears to be getting closer to a return. If George is […]

Troy Brown Jr. Cleared To Play Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Troy Brown Jr. (quad) will play Monday against the Houston Rockets. Brown recently came back from a quad injury and played 37 and 38 minutes in the two games back. Despite feeling some soreness after those games, Brown was probable to play Monday so there was not much of a concern […]

LeBron James Will Play Against Houston

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is available to play Monday against the Houston Rockets. James was questionable to play before being upgraded to probable. James was able to play 35 minutes on Sunday and will play both ends of the back-to-back set. This is a good sign moving for as, barring any setbacks, […]

Jayson Tatum Posts 51 Points Against Charlotte

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored a season-high 51 points on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Tatum was extremely efficient shooting the ball Monday with 15-for-23 from the field and a perfect 14-for-14 from the free throw line. Tatum also contributed nine rebounds, seven threes and five assists in 40 minutes. Unbelievably, Tatum has taken […]

Rudy Gobert Won't Return On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He only played five minutes before apparently aggravating his groin injury. The Wolves are going to take the cautious approach and hold Gobert out for the rest of this game. Naz Reid would be worth using as […]

Kevin Porter Jr. To Sit Out On Monday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The young guard will miss his second game in a row as he continues to deal with a left foot contusion. The good news is, Jalen Green is set to return after serving his one-game suspension. […]

Patrick Beverley Removed From Injury Report

Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The veteran guard has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. He has also been dealing with a hip issue, but appears to be good to go […]

Troy Brown Jr. Probable For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Troy Brown Jr. (quad) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old returned from a quad injury roughly a week ago. He has played nearly 40 minutes in each of the last two games. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see Brown get the […]

LeBron James Uncertain For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He played 35 minutes during Sunday's contest, so it's not surprising to see James on the injury report here. Juan Toscano-Anderson would likely remain in the starting five, assuming James is unable to go. Patrick Beverley would […]

Landry Shamet To Start Versus Grizzlies

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (hip) will make his return to the court after a three-game absence. He'll immediately move into the starting five with Chris Paul (hip) still sidelined. Shamet should have decent streaming appeal with increased playing time. Duane Washington Jr. will head to the bench and won't have as strong of appeal […]

Ja Morant Will Play On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard was dealing with a non-COVID related illness, but appears good enough to play in this game. The Grizzlies will have their regular starting five all healthy for this contest. The expectation is that Morant is going […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard will miss at least one more game due to hip soreness. In his absence, Landry Shamet will move into the starting five for Monday's game. He's worth considering as a streaming option while Paul is […]

Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert Available On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) and center Rudy Gobert (groin) are available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players have been dealing with lingering injuries, but they appear to be healthy enough to suit up for this game. Edwards continues to play through a hip issue, so he could be limited if […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Able To Practice On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) was able to suit up for practice on Monday. That is good news after Morris was forced to miss their last game on Sunday due to a left calf contusion. Amir Coffey joined the starting five on Sunday in place of Morris. That might be the case […]

Paul George Practices On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) was able to participate in Monday's practice. The superstar guard has missed the last five games due to right hamstring soreness. The fact George was able to practice is a step in the right direction. The Clippers play the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, so we'll see if George […]

Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guards Trae Young (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) are both available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Young was originally probable, but has now been upgraded to available for this game. He should continue to play his normal role in the rotation, which means Aaron Holiday won't have great streaming value. Also, […]

Clint Capela Available On Monday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) is officially available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man is set to return after a 10-game absence due to a right calf issue. He's expected to be on a minutes limit, so that is going to limit his fantasy value for Monday's game. Onyeka Okongwu […]

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out For Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 25-year-old will miss his second game in a row due to a left hip contusion. That being said, Jarred Vanderbilt should continue starting as long as Markkanen is out. He finished with eight points and nine rebounds […]

Caleb Martin Returns On Monday

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (quad) will be back in the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 27-year-old has missed some time recently due to a left quad contusion. The good news is, he'll return on Monday and move right back into his spot in the starting five. His return will […]

Tyler Herro To Play On Monday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (Achilles) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The young guard has been dealing with a lingering Achilles issue recently. Despite that, Herro will suit up and start versus the Hawks. His return means Max Strus heads to the second unit. He won't have […]

Russell Westbrook Makes History With Sunday's Triple-Double

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook recorded his fourth triple-double of the season on Sunday against Philadelphia, finishing a 113-112 loss with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. He shot a good 7-for-14 from the field and 2-for-5 from deep, but unfortunately for the Lakers, Westbrook couldn't hit his final attempt at the […]

Joel Embiid Continues 30-Point Streak Against The Lakers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid recorded at least 30 points for a fifth consecutive outing on Sunday, putting up 35 points on 12-for-21 shooting in a 113-112 win against the Lakers. Embiid, who was 2-for-5 with the three-ball and 9-for-12 at the foul line, also made a massive impact defensively, forcing Russell Westbrook into a […]

Damian Lillard Stays Red-Hot With 40 Points

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard continued his red-hot scoring streak with a 40-point effort in Sunday's 140-123 win over Dallas. He shot 10-for-17 from the field, including 4-for-9 from downtown, and was 16-for-16 with his free throws, reaching a fifth consecutive 30-point outing. Lillard has been especially hot over the last three games, […]

Nikola Vucevic Matches Career High With 43 Points

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic couldn't be stopped by the Warriors on Sunday as he matched his career high with 43 points in a 132-118 win.
