Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) will not play on Monday evening against the Atlanta Hawks.

Jeremy Lamb May Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is questionable for Sunday's encounter against the Orlando Magic. The veteran continues to battle soreness in his left knee, and if he isn't able to go once again, Edmond Sumner and T.J. McConnell will likely continue to see additional run. Both men should be considered viable fantasy options for […]

Doug McDermott May Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The veteran was flirting with the same designation on Saturday leading up to the matchup against Detroit but was still able to suit up and finish with 18 points. With the team down Myles Turner (toe), Domantas Sabonis (back), and […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Still Questionable Against Pacers

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is still questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The sophomore big man continues to deal with right ankle soreness and wasn't in the lineup on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. If Carter doesn't play, look for Mo Bamba to handle the duties in the middle […]

Domantas Sabonis Remains Out Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) remains out on Sunday against Orlando. The 24-year-old has missed his previous three contests due to lower back tightness, and with Myles Turner (toe) also out and Goga Bitadze (ankle) questionable, the team may be shorthanded underneath the rim. If Bitadze sits once again, look for Oshae Brissett and […]

Clint Capela Remains Questionable Against The Bucks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old took a fall during the week and continues to deal with a bruise on his back. If Capela is out of the lineup once again, look for Onyeka Okongwu to get the start. However, outside of some rebounds and […]

Rui Hachimura To Miss Another Game

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will not play on Sunday against Cleveland. The 23-year-old will now miss his fourth straight contest while tending to soreness in his left knee. Look for Davis Bertans and Daniel Gafford to benefit, although both are risky options from a fantasy standpoint due to their inconsistency on the scoring […]

Collin Sexton Won’t Play Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (head) won't play on Sunday against the Wizards. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with a concussion, so his absence will likely extend beyond the fantasy-friendly matchup against Washington. Darius Garland should see an increase in usage and differential, while Cedi Osman and Jarrett Allen should also benefit on the scoring […]

Kevin Durant Available Against Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) is listed as available ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. The former MVP had been riding a probable tag on Saturday, so his availability shouldn't come as a surprise. Durant has missed the previous three contests while dealing with a bruise on his left thigh, and even though a […]

De’Aaron Fox Out For At Least Two Weeks

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox will miss 10-14 days due to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19.
