Brooklyn Nets guard Landry Shamet (ankle) will miss the remainder of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Malcolm Brogdon Has Double-Double In Sunday's Win

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon struggled with his shot in Sunday's 109-106 overtime win against Miami but managed to grab a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful To Play Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as doubtful to play Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Antetokounmpo is being listed with a knee sprain and the Bucks do not have a back-to-back so this could end up being worrisome for fantasy managers. Bobby Portis and newly acquired P.J. Tucker are next in line for […]

Patrick Beverley And Serge Ibaka Ruled Out Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (knee) and forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) have both been ruled out Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Immanuel Quickley In, Elfrid Payton Out Sunday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) will play, but guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will remain out Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. With Payton still nursing his nagging hamstring injury, Quickley will likely start as the primary ball handler. Quickley's return should also take some opportunities away from Alec Burks.

Ben Simmons Playing On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will play Sunday against the New York Knicks. Simmons sat out Saturday's game with a sore knee despite being listed as probable to play. This could have been more of a cautionary rest day as the Sixers are finishing up their back-to-back set and Simmons is good to go […]

Immanuel Quickley And Elfrid Payton Game-Time Decisions

New York Knicks guards Immanuel Quickley (ankle) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) are game-time decisions against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

If both remain out, Alec Burks will likely get another […]

Mitchell Robinson Now Expected To Play Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hand) is expected to make his return to the court Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Terry Rozier And LaMelo Ball Probable To Play Monday

Charlotte Hornets guards Terry Rozier (hip) and LaMelo Ball (wrist) are both listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Both Rozier and Ball took some hard falls near the end of Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but appear to have come away with nothing more but some soreness. […]

Cody Zeller Out For Second Straight Game Monday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (shoulder) will not play Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Zeller will miss his second straight game as he is dealing with shoulder bursitis. This has paved the way for Bismack Biyombo to start and jump back on the fantasy radar as a decent source of rebounds and blocks. P.J. […]

Jeff Green Available To Play Against Washington

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Jeff Green (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Green is dealing with a sore right shoulder, but earned a probable tag ahead of the game and was expected to play from the beginning.

Blake Griffin To Make Nets Debut Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Blake Griffin (knee, conditioning) is expected to play Sunday against the Washington Wizards.

JaVale McGee Expected To Play Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers center JaVale McGee (illness) is expected to play Sunday against the Toronto Raptors.

Mitchell Robinson Game-Time Decision Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hand) is a game-time decision to play Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Robinson was questionable coming into the day and has a metal plate in his surgically repaired hand.
