Defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick recorded both interceptions […]

Vance McDonald Catches Three Passes In Win

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Monday night’s win over Miami.

James Washington Held In Check Against Dolphins

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington had just one catch for 21 yards in Monday’s win over the Dolphins.

James Harden Drops 40 Points On Monday Night

Houston Rockets guard James Harden had a season-high 40 points in a 116-112 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 13 yards on five carries before exiting Monday night’s game against the Dolphins with a knee injury, according to Burt Lauten.

The fact is that the Rockets […]

Julius Randle Notches Another Double-Double During Victory

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle has developed a reputation as a double-double machine for good reason. Despite his odd eight turnover performance Monday against the Chicago Bulls, Randle was still relied upon enough to collect 13 points and 14 rebounds, good for his fourth straight double-double to open the year. It was far […]

Zach LaVine Collects Team-High 21 Points In Defeat

After an 11-point effort last time out, Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Zach LaVine got back into somewhat of an offensive rhythm, collecting a team-best 21 points during Monday’s loss to the New York Knicks.

Wendell Carter Jr. Logs Double-Double Despite Thumb Ailment

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. entered Monday’s contest against the New York Knicks with a thumb issue that popped him up on the injury report, although it didn’t appear to hamper him whatsoever during his 20-point, 10-rebound evening.

Joel Embiid Will Play And Start In Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) went through warm ups and will "give it a go" Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Embiid was a game-time decision after missing Saturday's game with an ankle injury. There are no reports of any limitations, so it is likely Embiid resumes his normal workload. With Embiid's return, Matisse […]

Derrick Favors Late Scratch Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. This was a surprise as there were no injury designations before being ruled out. However, the Pelicans PR team is calling this "knee soreness". Hopefully this is not serious, but given the injury history of Favors, owners […]

Jrue Holiday Remains Out Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will not play Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. Holiday will miss his second straight game with a knee injury and remains day-to-day. In Holiday's absence, Josh Hart should continue to start. Hart scored 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting as a starter Saturday night.

Joel Embiid Game-Time Decision Against Atlanta

Reggie Jackson Ruled Out Against Pacers

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson has been dealing with lingering back soreness since the beginning of the season. He'll sit this one out, which means Tim Frazier is expected to draw another start. Derrick Rose will be asked to play heavy minutes […]

Kent Bazemore Could See Increased Role

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Kent Bazemore said he's fine with whatever role he's given. He just wants to go out there and impact the game however he can. Bazemore has been reliable on defense to begin the season, but hasn't done much on offense. Zach Collins (shoulder) could be looking at missing some games, so […]

Marquise Goodwin Returns After Missing Week 8

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) returned to the team on Monday. Goodwin had been absent since last Thursday and missed Week 8’s game dealing with a family issue. Goodwin has 196 scrimmage yards and a touchdown this season and was a fringe fantasy player even before the Niners acquired wideout Emmanuel Sanders. […]

Kawhi Leonard Shouldn't Be Limited

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will likely play in the 30-35 minute range, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers don't want to limit Leonard, but they know that playing him 35 minutes or more each game is a lot. It is likely going to depend on how the game is going, but […]

Matt Breida "Limited" In Practice Report

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was “limited” in Monday’s practice report. The Niners issued an estimated injury report ahead of a Thursday showdown with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9.

Zach Collins Has Been Ruled Out for Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team is waiting for the MRI results before they know more information about the injury. Head coach Terry Stotts has a decent amount of depth to work with so they probably won't rush Collins back. […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will be in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child. Head coach Erik Spoelstra is not going to ease him back into things either. Kendrick Nunn or Tyler Herro will […]

Rodney McGruder Won't Play on Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Doc Rivers is unsure when McGruder is going to be ready to play. It sounds safe to leave McGruder on the waiver wire going forward in most formats. Maurice Harkless should soak up most of […]
