Marcus Smart is Ruled Out for Wednesday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) won't travel with the team for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Smart is going to miss his fourth game in a row due to an eye infection. It began in his left eye, but has reportedly spread into his right eye as well. Brad Wanamaker and Semi Ojeleye […]

Fred Vanvleet is Unlikely to Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. However, Vanvleet did look better in practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Nick Nurse. The Raptors may decide to take the cautious approach which means Vanvleet would miss his fifth straight game. Norman Powell has stepped […]

Paul Millsap is Questionable for Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's missed each of the last two games due to a right quad strain. Jerami Grant has started each of those games and could be in line for another start. He's been decent during those starts and could […]

Jabari Parker is Available for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was listed as probable on Monday's injury report, but appears to be over his right ankle sprain. Parker has been playing well, but will lose fantasy value once John Collins (suspension) returns to the court shortly after Christmas.

Joel Embiid Practices on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. Embiid is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He didn't play on Sunday because of an illness, but appears better now. Mike Scott was starting in his place, but will be bumped back to the bench […]

Andre Drummond is Uncertain for Wednesday's Contest

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is likely going to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's sat out the last two games because of swelling in his eye from an allergic reaction. Thon Maker has started the last two games, but hasn't been impressive. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood […]

Blake Griffin Might Play on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Griffin was only able to play 15 minutes on Sunday before exiting with knee pain. He didn't suit up on Monday, so fantasy owners will have to wait and see how much progress he makes over the next […]

Eric Paschall Should Return on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) will return to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last two games due to a left hip issue. He's not expected to be limited at all, so fantasy owners should feel safe about using Paschall on Wednesday. Damion Lee will […]

Cameron Johnson is Doubtful Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Devin Booker (forearm) is expected to join Johnson on the sideline for this one. Mikal Bridges and Ricky Rubio are going to see heavy minutes without either of those guys in the rotation. Both Bridges and Rubio […]

Devin Booker is Doubtful for Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. There's a good chance that Booker is going to miss his third straight game due to a forearm contusion. Mikal Bridges is expected to draw another start and he'll be worth a look as a streaming option […]

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky continued his much-improved play as of late, earning his 12th victory of the season in his team's 6-1 defeat of the Ottawa Senators on Monday.

Nikita Kucherov Labeled As A Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Lightning right-winger Nikita Kucherov has been listed as a game-time decision ahead of his team's tilt with the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.

Zach Werenski Activated From Injured Reserve
