Gordon Hayward Might Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He isn't dealing with structural damage, so he should be able to return once the pain goes away. He didn't play on Friday, but was listed as questionable, so there was a chance that he'd play. Jaylen Brown […]

Karl-Anthony Towns is Questionable for Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last two games due to a knee issue. Towns hasn't been going through practice, so it seems unlikely that he'll suit up on Saturday. Gorgui Dieng will hold fantasy value in most formats until […]

Delon Wright is Expected to Play on Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Delon Wright (finger) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was listed as questionable for Friday, but managed to play 22 minutes.

Seth Curry is Probable for Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was questionable for Friday, but managed to play 21 minutes in that one. Luka Doncic (ankle) will remain sidelined on Sunday, so Curry will have some streaming appeal until Doncic returns to the court.

Luka Doncic is Listed as Out for Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He is making progress from his ankle sprain, but isn't ready to return to the court yet. Jalen Brunson, Seth Curry, and Delon Wright will have increased value until Doncic is back. Brunson has the most fantasy value […]
