Robert Williams III Exits Early Sunday, Sustains Setback

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) was able to log just 11 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Heat before an aggravation of his turf toe ailment forced him to the sidelines. Williams was somewhat of a surprise to see take the floor based on previous injury information, but after the game, head coach […]

Daniel Theis Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Chicago Bulls power forward/center Daniel Theis (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Detroit due to a hip contusion. Theis has increased upon his production since joining the Bulls, averaging 10 points and 5.9 boards across 22 contests. His absence is likely to allow Lauri Markkanen and Thaddeus Young to see bumps in […]

Cedi Osman, Isaiah Hartenstein Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman (ankle) and center Isaiah Hartenstein (head) have been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Mavericks. Osman has erupted into must-own season-long contention by averaging 15.6 points and 4.8 assists over his last eight contests. His absence figures to give Isaac Okoro as much run at the SF slot […]

Kevin Love Will Suit Up For Sunday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love (knee) has been given the green light to get back into action Sunday against Dallas. Love missed just one game due to persistent knee issues which have largely sidetracked his season, but he has largely proven to be a relevant fantasy commodity in any-sized format when cleared. Love has […]

Jayson Tatum Notches 29 Points In Sunday's Loss

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a good 11-for-16 shooting performance during a 29-point effort in Sunday's loss to the Heat. He finished 2-for-6 from downtown and 5-for-6 at the line, adding six assists and five rebounds to his tally with two blocks and one steal. He regained his rhythm very quickly after posting a […]

Evan Fournier Scores Game-High 30 Points In Losing Effort

Boston Celtics shooting guard Evan Fournier nailed seven triples and had a game-high 30 points in Sunday's 130-124 loss to Miami. He was 7-for-11 with the three-ball and 11-for-16 overall from the field with eight assists, three rebounds, one block and four turnovers. The French sniper had only three double-digit scoring games last month after […]

Juan Hernangomez Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Juan Hernangomez (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus Orlando due to swelling in his knee. The nature of the injury certainly doesn't portend to a brief absence, which comes at a difficult time after Hernangomez had reeled off double-digit shot attempts in each of his last three games. […]

Jimmy Butler Leads Heat Past Boston

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler had a great performance in Sunday's victory over Boston, going close to a triple-double with 26 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds, while shooting 9-for-14 from the field and 7-for-8 at the foul line. He added two steals on the defensive end with three turnovers in 40 minutes. The […]

Maxi Kleber Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a sore right Achilles. The ailment has perpetually plagued Kleber during the second half of the season and it's causing him to miss his fourth consecutive contest. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) also unavailable, Willie Cauley-Stein should retain […]

Steven Adams Remains Sidelined For Sunday’s Game

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Charlotte as he continues to battle a toe sprain. Adams has seen a combined 37 minutes over two games in New Orleans' last eight outings, paving the way for Jaxson Hayes and Willy Hernangomez to emerge as streamer and DFS […]

Devonte’ Graham Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Devonte' Graham (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Pelicans as he continues to deal with right knee discomfort. Graham has now missed each of Charlotte's past four contests, paving the way for LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier to continue seeing the overwhelming majority of ball-handling duties. After […]

Luguentz Dort, Ty Jerome Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Luguentz Dort (knee) and point guard Ty Jerome (calf) have been deemed unavailable to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Kings. Injuries have decimated OKC's backcourt for the vast majority of the season, with the team potentially in dire straits at PG if Theo Maledon (foot) is held out. […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Faces Minutes Cap In Return Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker has been given the green light to suit up for Sunday's game against Charlotte. Alexander-Walker last took the floor April 4, meaning that he'll be acclimated to the mix with a minutes restriction. Lonzo Ball still stands to see sizable upside with Zion Williamson (finger) and Brandon Ingram […]

Theo Maledon, Aleksej Pokusevski Questionable For Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Theo Maledon (foot) and small forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) have been deemed questionable to play in Sunday's game versus Sacramento. Maledon has held down starting PG duties for OKC since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went down, but he has struggled mightily from the field during his rookie season. Much of the same […]

Cedi Osman, Isaiah Hartenstein Questionable For Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman (ankle) and center Isaiah Hartenstein (head) have earned questionable designations for Sunday's contest against Dallas. Osman has become a scorching hot fantasy commodity over his last eight games, averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 assists and 4.0 rebounds per outing. An absence from him on the wing would pave the way […]

Josh Jackson, Hamidou Diallo, Wayne Ellington All Out Sunday

The Detroit Pistons will again be staggeringly short-handed for Sunday's contest versus Chicago with shooting guard Josh Jackson (tooth), small forward Hamidou Diallo (health protocols) and shooting guard/small forward Wayne Ellington (calves) all ruled out. Saddiq Bey and Frank Jackson stand to see as many minutes on the wing as they can handle. Diallo went […]

Daniel Theis Earns Questionable Tag For Sunday

Chicago Bulls power forward/center Daniel Theis (knee) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday's game against Detroit with a right hip contusion. Since entering the starting five 13 games ago, Theis has averaged 10 points and 6.5 boards per contest. An absence would figure to bump Lauri Markkanen back into the starting five, […]

Mason Plumlee, Cory Joseph Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) and point guard Cory Joseph (ankle) have both been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Chicago. Plumlee's minutes continue to be monitored down the stretch, as he returned from a five-game absence to log 25 minutes Saturday. Joseph played 20 minutes in that outing as well, but he had […]

Sacramento Lists Buddy Hield As Questionable Sunday

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield (ankle) has picked up a questionable tag for Sunday's game versus the Thunder due to a sprained left ankle. Hield has been an ironman for the Kings this season, missing just one contest. He has benefited immensely from De'Aaron Fox's (health protocols) absence, firing up double-digit three-point attempts in […]

Jerami Grant Earns Questionable Tag For Sunday

Detroit Pistons power forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been tagged as questionable to suit up for Sunday's game versus Chicago as he continues to battle right knee soreness. Grant returned from a five-contest absence to log 24 minutes Saturday, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Detroit play it safe on the second leg […]

Harrison Barnes Unlikely To Suit Up Sunday

Sacramento Kings small/power forward Harrison Barnes (adductor) has been listed as doubtful to participate in Sunday's contest against the Thunder. Barnes has already missed each of the Kings' past six games, paving the way for Maurice Harkless and Terence Davis to see added minutes on the wing. Prior to his ailment, Barnes had averaged 19.5 […]

De'Aaron Fox Continues Absence Sunday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Oklahoma City as he continues to work through the league's health and safety protocols. Fox has not played since April 21, with the team having compiled a 5-3 record in his absence. Delon Wright has been the biggest beneficiary of Fox […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Minnesota due to a left eye abrasion. Carter's absence will mark his third contest in a row on the sidelines, paving the way for Mohamed Bamba to skyrocket in appeal in the DFS market. In his last two starts, Bamba […]
