He had a second consecutive strong outing from downtown, going 3-for-5 with the three-ball. Okeke is pretty inconsistent, but he's getting plenty of […]

Anthony Davis Has 18 Points, Eight Boards In 31 Minutes

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis had an 18-point outing with eight rebounds, three assists and a pair of blocks in 31 minutes against Orlando on Monday. He shot 8-for-15 from the field with a 1-for-4 record from deep in a comfortable win. AD broke the 30-minute mark for the first time since returning from […]

Dennis Schroder Posts Third Consecutive Double-Double

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder scored a game-high 21 points and delivered 10 assists in Monday's 114-103 win over Orlando, shooting 10-for-18 from the floor. He had two turnovers in 38 minutes and picked up a pair of rebounds. The German guard has now recorded three double-doubles in a row. Schroder is having […]

Alex Caruso Battles Back Spasms Monday, Exits Early

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Alex Caruso (back) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Magic due to back spasms. Caruso hasn't missed a game since March 16, having been an integral part of L.A.'s second unit. Prior to his departure, Caruso compiled seven points, two rebounds and two assists across […]

Derrick White Exits Monday’s Contest With Ankle Injury

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game versus the Wizards after sustaining a sprained right ankle. Prior to his exit, White was able to compile nine points, three rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes. Without him in the mix, Patty Mills and Lonnie Walker […]

Brandon Goodwin Requires Wheelchair To Depart Monday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Brandon Goodwin (foot/ankle) was taken from the court on a wheelchair during Monday's contest against Detroit due to a significant left foot/ankle injury. Goodwin immediately went down in apparent serious pain, ending his fourth start of the season unceremoniously. Prior to his exit, he went just 3-for-14 from the field across […]

Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker Will Both Miss Tuesday’s Game

Boston Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) and point guard Kemba Walker (hip) have both been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Oklahoma City. Tatum is dealing with a left ankle impingement, which will cause him to miss his first outing since March 22. Walker departed Sunday's game with an oblique injury, which has now […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson, J.J. Redick All Out Monday

The Dallas Mavericks will be severely short-handed when they take the floor Monday against the Kings with Kristaps Porzingis (ankle), Josh Richardson (hamstring) and J.J. Redick (heel) all unavailable. The absence for Porzingis and Richardson marks their second in a row, which allowed Dwight Powell and Tim Hardaway Jr., respectively, to see larger roles. Powell […]

Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber Cleared For Monday’s Contest

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (elbow) and power forward Maxi Kleber (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Monday's game versus Sacramento. Doncic and Kleber will likely have as many minutes and shot attempts thrust upon them as they can handle due to the widespread injuries that the team […]

P.J. Dozier Remains In Starting Lineup Monday

Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward P.J. Dozier will make his second consecutive start Monday versus Memphis, having dropped 23 points across 28 minutes in his first start Saturday. Nuggets head coach Mike Malone has been forced to get creative with his lineup construction due to the injuries to Jamal Murray (knee) and Monte Morris (hamstring), […]

Richaun Holmes Continues To Have 20-Minute Cap Monday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes will have his minutes restricted to around 20 for Monday's contest against the Mavericks. Holmes returned from a five-game absence Sunday and was able to compile 11 points and five boards across 22 minutes, an indication of the level of production that fantasy managers can expect. Prior to being sidelined, […]

Jeremy Lamb, Goga Bitadze Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) and center Goga Bitadze (ankle) have both picked up questionable designations for Tuesday's contest against Portland. Lamb has missed each of the team's four previous contests due to left knee soreness, while Bitadze has been out for three games with a sprained left ankle. Whenever he returns, […]

Domantas Sabonis Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) will miss his fifth consecutive contest Tuesday against Portland due to continued back issues. Oshae Brissett and Jakarr Sampson stand to continue seeing elevated minutes totals in the frontcourt with Myles Turner (toe) also unavailable. While a back ailment of any kind is cause for concern, the fact […]

Devin Cannady Undergoes Surgery After Ankle Dislocation

Orlando Magic point guard Devin Cannady (ankle) is out for the remainder of the 2020-21 season after having sustained an open right ankle dislocation during Sunday's contest. The Magic announced Monday that Cannady is expected to make a full recovery from the injury, even as he will understandably be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Having […]

Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn Will Miss Monday’s Game

Miami Heat point/shooting guards Tyler Herro (foot) and Kendrick Nunn (neck) have both been ruled out for Monday's contest against Chicago. The move serves as a blow to the team's backcourt depth, with Goran Dragic likely to see a sizable allotment of minutes at PG; Gabe Vincent should also see increased run in Herro/Nunn's absence. […]

Abdel Nader Undergoes Knee Surgery, Out Indefinitely

Phoenix Suns small forward Abdel Nader (knee) had arthroscopic right knee surgery completed Monday, which puts him out for the foreseeable future. Injuries have torpedoed Nader's season, as he has played in just 24 games for the Suns, all of which have come off the bench. Despite having shot a career-best 49.1 percent from the […]

John Wall Will Miss Remainder Of Season

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of the year after having tweaked his hamstring. With 11 games still on the Rockets' slate, they will likely hand starting PG duties to Kevin Porter Jr., increasing his already sizable workload. Wall's first season in Houston was marred by injury, […]

Atlanta Clears Kris Dunn For Season, Team Debut Monday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Kris Dunn (ankle) has been given the green light to play in Monday's contest versus Detroit, thereby making both his season and team debut. Dunn has been sidelined for the team's first 61 games after having undergone surgery on his right ankle, with his return coming at a fortuitous time with […]

Anthony Davis Won’t Faces Minutes Restriction Monday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) has been labeled a full-go for Monday's game against the Magic with his minutes cap lifted. Davis has scuffled from the floor in his first two contests back, shooting a combined 7-for-29 overall, including 0-for-7 from behind the arc. Despite those blips of diverting from elite fantasy […]

Josh Jackson Will Miss Monday’s Game

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Josh Jackson (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Atlanta due an illness. Jackson has been shifted back to the starting lineup for each of his last 15 appearances, averaging 15.9 PPG in that span. Without him in the mix, eye Wayne Ellington and Frank Jackson as potential punt […]

Bradley Beal Will Play Versus Spurs

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (calf) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. That is a relief after fantasy managers watched Beal twist his leg during Sunday's contest. However, it sounds like he's feeling fine, so he shouldn't be limited for this game. Although, fantasy managers should […]

Josh Jackson Questionable Against Hawks

Detroit Pistons forward Josh Jackson (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It sounds like Jackson is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so this might be a game-time decision. However, the Pistons are tanking, so fantasy managers should consider Jackson more doubtful than questionable. He has been playing well […]

Terrence Ross Might Sit Versus Lakers

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has missed each of the last four games, so fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked to see him miss another game. Orlando isn't playing for anything besides lottery balls, so they don't have much of an incentive […]

Rui Hachimura No Longer On Injury Report

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He'll make his return after missing four games due to knee soreness. He could be asked to play a bigger role in the rotation with Russell Westbrook (ankle) listed as questionable. Nonetheless, Davis […]

Larry Nance Jr. Likely To Miss Significant Time

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He fractured his right thumb on Sunday, so fantasy managers should expect him to be sidelined for a bit. The fact Cleveland is eliminated from the postseason means they might rest Nance throughout the rest of the […]

Christian Wood Practices On Monday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) was able to suit up and fully participate in Monday's practice. That is a good sign for Wood's status for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, the Rockets aren't exactly high in the standings, so we could see them potentially rest Wood until he's 100 percent healthy. Kenyon […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Sitting Out Against Raptors

Cleveland Cavaliers center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is frustrating news for the Cavs since Hartenstein was playing extremely well. Hopefully he'll be able to clear the league's concussion protocol testing quickly. In the meantime, Kevin Love and Dean Wade should see more minutes coming […]
