Ben Simmons Set To Return For Tuesday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons (back) has not been listed on the team's injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest versus Indiana. Simmons sat out Saturday due to a back ailment, but he appears on track to return to action. The past seven games have seen Simmons' overall production take a dip, despite shooting 67.3 […]

Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Kyle Lowry Ruled Out Tuesday

The Toronto Raptors will be without their three leading scorers for Tuesday's game against the Clippers with power forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder), point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (hip) and point guard Kyle Lowry (rest) all unavailable. Gary Trent Jr. stands to see a massive offensive workload, while Malachi Flynn should see considerable ball-handling duties. The Raptors […]

Joel Embiid Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers due to an illness. Even as his minutes have dipped over the previous nine games in an attempt to preserve his health for the postseason, Embiid has still managed to dominate to the tune of 25.2 […]

Tony Snell Will Miss Monday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Tony Snell (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus the Wizards. Snell has dealt with persistent Achilles issues during the second half of the year, but he has managed to start each of the previous five games for Atlanta. His absence likely opens the door for a returning De'Andre […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb Remain Out Monday

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) have been ruled out for Monday's contest versus Cleveland. Brogdon's absence will mark his sixth game in a row on the sidelines, whereas Lamb will now have missed 12 straight contests. The trio of Edmond Sumner, Justin Holiday and Aaron Holiday […]

Garrison Mathews Rejoins Starting Lineup Monday

Washington Wizards shooting guard Garrison Mathews has taken the spot of Bradley Beal (hamstring) among the starting five for Monday's contest against Atlanta. Mathews has made 22 prior starts this year, with the last having come April 3. Uncharacteristic of bench players that receive larger workloads when starting, Matthews has seen his scoring average almost […]

De'Andre Hunter Will Suit Up For Monday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks small forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been given the green light to get back into action Monday against Washington. Hunter hadn't taken the floor since March 24 due to a sore right knee, having played a combined 46 minutes since Jan. 29. When healthy, Hunter has taken a significant leap forward in production […]

Jaylen Brown Will Miss Remainder Of Season

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (wrist) has been ruled out for the rest of the year due to a torn ligament in his left wrist. Brown had missed the team's three previous games with the injury, but it has turned out to be a worst-case scenario, one which figures to significantly impact Boston's title […]

Kristaps Porzingis Could Return Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The good news is, head coach Rick Carlisle hinted that Porzingis might be able to suit up for Wednesday's contest. Until then, Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, and Willie Cauley-Stein will be asked to pick up the slack. Powell […]

Monte Morris Upgraded To Questionable For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It appears Morris is finally on the verge of getting back on the floor. That is good news with Will Barton (hamstring) likely out until at least the postseason. Morris is expected to be eased back into […]

Brandon Ingram Remains Out Against Grizzlies

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Pelicans GM David Griffin said Ingram was out indefinitely, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him again this season. James Johnson will remain a solid streaming play, while Eric Bledsoe is becoming a sneaky DFS option.

Steven Adams Unlikely To Play Monday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It sounds highly unlikely that Adams does suit up for this contest. The Pelicans don't have much incentive to play their veteran big man in this game. Instead, Jaxson Hayes should get plenty of minutes, while Willy […]

Kevin Love Will Rest Against Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (rest) has been ruled out or Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The Cavs aren't in the playoff picture, so they don't have much incentive to play Love throughout the rest of the season. He'll join Darius Garland (ankle), Cedi Osman (ankle) and Isaiah Hartenstein (head) on the sideline for […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This is not good news with Darius Garland (ankle) out for the rest of the regular season. Damyean Dotson will be the next man in line and should see all the minutes he can handle. He shouldn't be […]

Grayson Allen Sitting Out Against Pelicans

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen (abdominal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The young guard will sit this one out and could very well miss the rest of the regular season. Desmond Bone and De'Anthony Melton will be asked to pick up the slack without Allen available. Melton has […]

Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley Remain Out Monday

Utah Jazz guards Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Mike Conley (hamstring) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Both players have been sidelined for quite some time and it's uncertain if they will return before the end of the regular season. In the meantime, Joe Ingles and Georges Niang should remain […]

De'Andre Hunter Might Play Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He recently got through 5-on-5 practice, so it sounds like Hunter is nearing a return. However, the Hawks are likely going to be cautious with him and limit his minutes. Tony Snell (Achilles) is questionable as well, so […]

Devonte' Graham Practices On Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) was able to participate in practice on Monday, according to head coach James Borrego. He is being listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The young guard has seen his role in the rotation decrease over the course of the season. Malik Monk and LaMelo Ball […]

Bradley Beal Out At Least Two Games

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) will miss at least the next two games. He is dealing with a left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated on Friday. This is going to be a huge void to fill, but at least Beal should come back before the end of the regular season. Russell Westbrook is […]

LeBron James Targeting A Return On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is hopeful that he can suit up against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. There is a good chance that he plays on Wednesday, assuming he sits out against New York. It's unlikely that James plays in both games, but fantasy managers will certainly take one from him. […]

Pascal Siakam Remains Day-To-Day

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) will undergo some imaging on Monday, but it's uncertain when he'll return to the court. He is dealing with a strained right shoulder, but is calling himself day-to-day. However, Toronto isn't exactly playing for much at this point, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sit out for […]

Marvin Bagley III Goes Close To A Double-Double In 21 Minutes

Sacramento Kings power forward Marvin Bagley III produced a very good bounce-back effort in Sunday's 126-98 win over OKC, following up a four-point dud with 13 points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes. He also had a pair of assists and one block with two turnovers, while shooting 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-4 at […]

Buddy Hield Has Good All-Around Performance Versus OKC

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield delivered a good all-around performance in Sunday's blowout win over the Thunder, finishing with 14 points, seven assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal. He shot 5-for-11 from the field with most of his makes coming from outside as he went 4-for-10 with the three-ball. Hield was questionable […]

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul recorded his fourth double-double in five games on Sunday, finishing a 123-110 loss against the Lakers with 13 points and 10 assists. He also had four rebounds and four steals with one block and five turnovers while shooting 6-for-13 from the field and 1-for-2 from downtown. The veteran floor […]

Devin Booker Settles For 21 Points On Sunday

He notched most of his points at the free-throw line with an 11-for-13 effort, shooting 5-for-14 from the field with six rebounds, one assist, one steal and three turnovers.
