James Harden Continues Worrying Early-Season Trend

On Monday, the Brooklyn Nets downed the Washington Wizards to bounce back from a Sunday defeat, but a disturbing early-season trend continued for James Harden. The Nets point guard provided 14 points, nine assists, six rebounds, a block, and a steal in 30 minutes, but he only got to the foul line three times. It […]

Bradley Beal Returns From Injury For 19 Points

After sitting out the last game, Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) returned to the court with an inefficient shooting night. In 32 minutes, Beal took 22 shots but only made eight of them and was a further 3-for-13 behind the three-point line. He managed to add four assists and three rebounds, but it also […]

Kevin Durant Nets 25 Points In Easy Win

In a 104-90 win over the Washington Wizards, Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant continued to do Kevin Durant things. The 2014 MVP helped his team bounce back from a disappointing loss on Sunday with 25 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 35 minutes of a ho-hum outing. The bizarre thing was he […]

Norman Powell Without A Return Timetable

Danilo Gallinari To Remain Out On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 33-year-old veteran is dealing with left shoulder soreness and he has yet to make his season debut. The Hawks will also be without De'Andre Hunter for the game as he is dealing with an illness. Cam […]

Al Horford, Romeo Langford Will Sit Out On Monday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (groin) and guard Romeo Langford (calf) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Horford has a left adductor strain, while Langford is dealing with left calf tightness. Horford's absence means that the team will likely lean more on Grant Williams and Robert Williams III, both of […]

Jrue Holiday, Bobby Portis Ruled Out On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) and power forward Bobby Portis (hamstring) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This will be the second game Holiday has missed this year. He is dealing with a left ankle sprain. Portis, meanwhile, has yet to make his season debut. The team will […]

Bradley Beal Good To Go For Monday's Game

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (groin) is good to go for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 28-year-old veteran missed the team's last game due to a bruised right hip as well as a groin issue. With his return, Aaron Holiday will move back to the bench. Beal struggled a bit in his […]

Jaylen Brown Cleared To Play On Monday

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is good to go for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown is dealing with left knee soreness. He sat out Sunday's game and had been listed as questionable for Monday's game up until now. Brown had a phenomenal season debut against the New York Knicks, dropping a […]

De'Andre Hunter Out With An Illness On Monday

Atlanta Hawks small forward De'Andre Hunter has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is dealing with a non-COVID illness. Expect to see Cam Reddish take Hunter's spot in the starting rotation. Reddish, who is coming off of a 19-point game, is an intriguing target for DFS on Monday. Solomon Hill […]

P.J. Washington Ruled Out For Monday's Game

Charlotte Hornets power forward P.J. Washington (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He is dealing with a right knee sprain and is being considered day-to-day. Jalen McDaniels should see increased playing time with Washington out. We may also get a more extended look at rookie Kai Jones, who has […]

Jaylen Brown Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out of Sunday's game with what the team is calling left knee tendinopathy. The Celtics might decide to play it safe and sit Brown for this game. Dennis Schroder would likely be asked to start again […]

Al Horford Uncertain To Play Against Hornets

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran big man continues to work his way back from COVID-19. He was able to play 30 minutes on Sunday, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Horford sit out here. He is still trying to get […]

Bobby Portis Could Make Season Debut On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (hamstring) has been sidelined to begin the season, but could see his first regular season action on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. The return of Portis would give the Bucks some much-needed depth up front. Brook Lopez (back) won't suit up, so the Bucks have been playing Giannis Antetokounmpo at […]

LaMarcus Aldridge To Rest On Monday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran big man will sit this one out for rest purposes. That is not surprising news considering it's a back-to-back set and Aldridge was dealing with blood clots last season. His absence should mean more minutes for Paul […]

Bruce Brown Listed As Probable For Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown (calf) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Brown has missed the first two contests due to a right calf contusion. He was able to play in their most recent contest and lasted 27 minutes in that one. Brown will likely get consistent minutes if he […]

P.J. Washington Could Sit Out Against Boston

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The young forward was able to play 26 minutes on Sunday. The fact it's a back-to-back set could mean Washington sits out this game as a precaution. Jalen McDaniels would likely be asked to fill in, assuming Washington […]

Jerami Grant Could Miss Monday's Game

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He is dealing with a left elbow infection, which does not sound good for his status on Monday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Grant is forced to miss time from this issue. Saddiq Bey and Hamidou Diallo, […]
