Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela had another monster game in Monday's win over the Timberwolves.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett has been on a roll lately, a trend that continued in Monday's 91-84 win over the Magic.

Vucevic notched his second straight double-double- 24 points and 14 boards- along with two treys and two blocks in the seven-point loss.

Aaron Gordon Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss To Knicks

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon flirted with a triple-double in a 91-84 loss to the Knicks on Monday. Gordon was a bit erratic with his shot, though he made up for it with a career-high 17 rebounds along with nine assists, two triples, and two blocks in 36 minutes. The 25-year-old had his minutes restricted […]

Nemanja Bjelica Should Return At Some Point

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica has not played in each of the last four games. However, head coach Luke Walton believes Bjelica will return to the rotation at some point this season. He hasn't been benched because of poor play, but Walton has been using different rotations and sadly Bjelica has been the odd man […]

Gabe Vincent Listed As Probable Versus Pistons

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He played on Saturday, but struggled and only played 16 minutes before fouling out. Tyler Herro (neck) is listed as questionable, so Vincent could have some streaming appeal without Herro on the court. Otherwise, it's tough to imagine […]

Jalen Brunson Expected To Play On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (COVID-19) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He continues to test negative, but hasn't been cleared to play yet. The Mavs could've used Brunson during Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Hopefully, Dallas will get him back for […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Could Sit Out On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sat out of Saturday's game due to a left groin strain. Possibly, Hardaway has healed up by now, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off. Trey Burke would gain the most […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Expected To Be Released

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. has not played this season and won't likely be taking the court anytime soon. The organization is reportedly seeking to trade or release Porter after an outburst in the locker room. Cleveland gave his locker to Taurean Prince and the second-year guard grew angry. The Cavs spent the weekend […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Play On Monday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with right knee soreness, but it sounds like he'll suit up for this game. Nerlens Noel or Taj Gibson could see increased playing time if Robinson is limited at all. It sounds […]

Alec Burks Remains Out Versus Magic

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. There was hope that Burks would suit up here, but the team has decided to give him an extra day off. Austin Rivers and RJ Barrett will continue to see increased value until Burks returns.

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Eric Bledsoe has been bumped back up into the starting five for Sunday's contest versus Sacramento. Bledsoe came off the bench Friday as he worked through eye irritation, scoring seven points across 21 minutes.

Sterling Brown Questionable To Return For Monday’s Game

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Sterling Brown has been deemed questionable to get back into the mix for Monday's contest versus the Bulls as he works through the league's health and safety protocols. Brown missed Saturday's game, which would have been another potential fantasy boon, following a 23-point showing in his first start of the […]

Hassan Whiteside Unavailable For Sunday’s Contest

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (hip) will miss his second straight game Sunday versus New Orleans due to hip soreness. The Kings accrued just two blocks as a team in Whiteside's absence as the Clippers mercilessly attacked the rim, which could be much of the same case for the Pelicans on Sunday. Chimezie Metu saw […]

Dario Saric Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Dario Saric will miss Monday's contest versus the Grizzlies due to the league's health and safety protocols.
