D'Angelo Russell Unlikely To Suit Up Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Tuesday's contest vs. the Nuggets. Russell has missed each of Minnesota's past two outings due to the ailment, which has allowed Jaylen Nowell and Jordan McLaughlin, respectively, to earn spot starts. With Patrick Beverley (ankle) trending toward getting the green […]

Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder Questionable To Play Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and power forward Jae Crowder (wrist) have been elevated to questionable to suit up for Tuesday's game vs. the Nets after going through shootaround earlier in the day.

Kristaps Porzingis Remains Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's contest against Oklahoma City due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Dwight Powell slid into the starting five for Porzingis on Sunday, although his minutes total and production stayed relatively steady. Without Porzingis active, Luka Doncic can be seen […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Ninth Straight Game Tuesday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. the Raptors due to a personal matter, marking his ninth consecutive absence. Jimmy Butler is likely to take on elevated ball-handling duties once again without Lowry in the mix, while Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, and Tyler Herro are all in […]

Jimmy Butler Receives Green Light To Play Tuesday

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been cleared to return for Tuesday's game against Toronto, stemming his absence at one game due to an ankle ailment. Butler will be looking to build off a season-high-tying 37-point effort from his last outing, a triple-double performance vs. the Raptors on Saturday. With Kyle Lowry (personal) […]

Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (toe) and small forward Andrew Wiggins (knee) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, putting the team down four starters.

Brooklyn Nets power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) sprained his left ankle in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. After the game, he was spotted in a walking boot. He underwent an MRI on Monday and the team is awaiting the results, which will help determine the extent of the injury […]

Bradley Beal To Be Sidelined For Two Games

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss the team's next two games due to a left wrist sprain.

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Nets

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 23-year-old will miss his eighth straight contest as he recovers from a right ankle sprain.

Trae Young Out Against Raptors

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (shoulder) will not play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night as a result of a shoulder contusion. Young has produced averages of 27.7 points, 9.3 assists 4.1 rebounds and a career-best 45 percent shooting from the field through 45 games this season, making the 23-year-old a must-start player […]

D'Angelo Russell Not Listed On Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. The 25-year-old exited Thursday's contest against the Warriors due to a left shin contusion. Russell, who missed one game with the injury, will return to the lineup and continue to provide value with his […]

Klay Thompson Will Play Monday, Rest Tuesday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (rest) will play in Monday's game against the Rockets and sit out Tuesday's contest against the Spurs. Warriors guard Jordan Poole will benefit from Thompson's absence in Tuesday's road game, and the third-year guard is worth starting in standard fantasy formats, as he is averaging 16.8 points per […]

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Without A Timetable

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) continues to make progress, but remains without a timetable, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. It sounds like the Pacers are slowly bringing Brogdon along and he could practice soon. The Pacers aren't in great postseason position, so they have no incentive to rush back Brogdon. However, his upside […]

De'Aaron Fox Continues To Sit Out

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the fifth game in a row that Fox has missed due to left ankle soreness. Tyrese Haliburton will continue running the show and should be rostered in basically all fantasy formats. Davion Mitchell should move […]

Ivica Zubac Won't Play Monday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This looks more like a rest game than anything else. Regardless, Zubac will miss at least one game, which will result in Serge Ibaka drawing the start at center. Ibaka hasn't brought exciting numbers to the table […]

Brandon Ingram To Remain Out On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the fifth game in a row that Ingram has missed due to a right ankle issue. This is obviously frustrating for fantasy managers as it's uncertain if Ingram will return before the All-Star break. The […]

Joel Embiid Resting Against Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This isn't surprising as the Sixers want to make sure their superstar center stays healthy. Fantasy managers should expect Embiid back for Wednesday's contest. Until then, Andre Drummond should move into the starting five. He'll have strong streaming […]

Darius Garland Might Miss Monday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He tweaked his back on Wednesday, but was able to play 36 minutes on Sunday. This doesn't seem to be an issue that would cost Garland multiple games. However, it is the second game of a back-to-back […]

Joe Ingles Will Miss The Rest Of The Season

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles (knee) will not play again this season after suffering a significant injury. The veteran forward suffered a torn ACL, but no other structural damage in his left knee.

Domantas Sabonis Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis has entered the league's health and safety protocols. It sounds like Sabonis is going to miss at least the next three games, according to the NBA injury report. Goga Bitadze (foot) and Oshae Brissett (ankle) are banged up as well heading into Monday's game. That means, Isaiah Jackson could be […]

Nikola Jokic Questionable For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This injury doesn't sound too serious, but the Nuggets are going to be cautious with their star center. Zeke Nnaji, JaMychal Green, and Jeff Green will see increased playing time, assuming Jokic is out. Will Barton and Aaron […]

LeBron James Likely To Miss More Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) flew back to Los Angeles to receive treatment this weekend. The knee injury appears to be worse than the organization originally thought. An MRI revealed general soreness and head coach Frank Vogel has not given a timetable on James return. "As long as the swelling is there, he […]

Will Barton Will Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It was uncertain if Barton was going to play here due to a non-COVID related illness. However, his return will likely shift Austin Rivers back to the second unit. Rivers won't have as much streaming appeal with Barton back […]

Jimmy Butler Uncertain For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. It sounds like Butler suffered an ankle injury while playing 52 minutes during the triple-overtime loss on Saturday. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors give Butler the night off for rest purposes. Caleb Martin and Max […]

DeMarcus Cousins Won't Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cousins won't get a chance to take on his former team due to a right foot sprain. JaMychal Green, Zeke Nnaji, and Jeff Green are all available, so the Nuggets will have plenty of options at center. None […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not Available On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was only able to play 11 minutes on Saturday before exiting with right knee soreness. His absence means more playing time for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell. The hope is that Porzingis can play in their […]

George Hill Won't Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears the Bucks are going to play it safe with their veteran guard. Grayson Allen should more minutes coming his way on Sunday. His usage should increase as well, which makes him an interesting DFS option. Hill […]

Derrick Rose To Return Shortly After All-Star Break

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is hopeful to return shortly after the All-Star break. He hasn't played since before Christmas, but is making progress towards a return. He shouldn't have any problems finding playing time off the bench. Kemba Walker and Immanuel Quickley are his main competition for playing time. Alec Burks should […]

Josh Jackson Unlikely To Play Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Josh Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to play 16 minutes on Friday, but continues to deal with back tightness. There's a good chance he sits this one out, so he can try and recover from this issue. Frank Jackson and Rodney […]

Aaron Gordon Might Sit Versus Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. Zeke Nnaji has been playing better lately and could slide into the starting five on Sunday. He's averaging 9.5 points and 3.8 rebounds […]
