Amen Thompson Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Thompson is now in danger of missing a second straight game after sitting out on Saturday's contest. Another absence for Thompson would mean increased roles for Cam Whitmore and Tari Eason.

Deni Avdija Will Face The Bulls

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (ankle) will suit up on Sunday versus Chicago. He missed the last three games because of a sprained ankle.

Anfernee Simons Ruled Out For Sunday's Game

James Harden Available Versus The Lakers

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (illness) will suit up versus the Lakers. The 35-year-old was questionable because of an illness.

Lonzo Ball Ruled Out For Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

This seems to be for rest purposes, but regardless fantasy managers should consider Ball […]

Guerschon Yabusele Won't Play On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Paul George Ruled Out For Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. George will now miss both games of the back-to-back set due to groin tightness.

Day'Ron Sharpe Will Play Against OKC

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (eye) will play on Sunday versus OKC. Sharpe was sidelined for over a month to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a hamstring injury. However, since returning, he's only missed one game. The eye injury won't keep the 23-year-old off the floor, so that trend will continue on Sunday night. […]

Cameron Johnson Back On Sunday Evening

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) will play on Sunday night versus OKC. The 28-year-old has been battling a sprained ankle, keeping him off the floor for seven of Brooklyn's previous eight contests. It's no secret the Nets are better with him in the lineup. However, Johnson could see fewer minutes than normal if the […]
