Terry Rozier Ruled Out For Monday

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (knee) will not play against Brooklyn on Monday. He was initially expected to feature in the contest, as the team gave Rozier a probable designation on the injury report, but knee inflammation will keep Rozier sidelined. Miami also won't have Jimmy Butler (illness), so Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo […]

Luka Doncic Returning On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Doncic will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a left heel contusion.

Robert Woods Not Recommended Against Ravens

Following two serious injuries ahead of him, wide receiver Robert Woods of the Houston Texans could find himself as a popular, but not recommended, waiver-wire addition going into a Christmas Day meeting against Baltimore. The Texans have had awful wide receiver luck, losing both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) for the year, leading […]

Despite Opportunity, Dalton Schultz Still In TE2 Range

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a high-end TE2 candidate ahead of the Texans' Christmas Day game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Great Matchup For Ka'imi Fairbairn In Week 17

An already great fantasy season for Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has a chance to be even better with a superb matchup against Baltimore in Week 17. The 30-year-old is the overall No. 3 at his position, and in the Super Bowl week for many fantasy leagues, he'll take on a Ravens team that ranks […]

Texans D/ST Avoidable In Christmas Day Game

The Houston Texans defense/special teams is not recommended for fantasy managers deep in the fantasy playoffs in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Not Play On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) will not suit up for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

Dillon Brooks A Late Scratch On Monday Versus Hornets

According to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (ankle) won't play against the Hornets due to right ankle soreness.

Dean Wade Out On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) will not be available for Monday's contest against Utah. He's troubled by a sore right knee and has been downgraded from questionable to out.

Lonzo Ball Won't Play On Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Max Strus Available Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (ankle) will play against Utah on Monday. He's off the injury report after sitting out Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia. Following an ankle injury, Strus made his season debut Friday night, so seeing him sit out Saturday's contest wasn't surprising. Strus posted nine points with two assists in 19 minutes against […]

Jimmy Butler Unavailable Against Nets

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) will miss Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a stomach illness. This illness also took him out of the Heat's last game on Saturday. With the 35-year-old sidelined, the starting five should stay the same as Saturday. Dru Smith and Duncan Robinson could […]

Luka Doncic Questionable On Monday, In Danger Of Missing Third Straight Game
