Chicago Cubs first baseman Matt Mervis will likely open the regular season on the bench, according to Jared Wyllys of CHGO Sports.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play after being listed as probable coming into this game.

Jarrett Allen Uncertain For Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man was able to play through a left ankle sprain during their last game. He logged in 31 minutes and didn't appear to be limited due to the ankle issue. If he sits, Dean Wade […]

Jock Landale To Play On Sunday

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (wrist) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Landale has been cleared to suit up after not playing in the last three games.

The big man has been cleared to play after being listed as questionable heading into the contest. Gobert was dealing with a left ankle sprain but is expected to play his normal role on Sunday.

Luka Doncic Questionable For Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers.

It would be a tough break for managers if he can't […]

Kyrie Irving Likely To Return On Monday Evening

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is expected to play on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The former Net is listed as probable after missing his previous six games because of a right thumb sprain. Irving continues to be a productive fantasy asset.

Brook Lopez Remains Out Against Utah

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) remains out on Sunday against the Utah Jazz.

Khris Middleton Won't Play On Sunday To Rest

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. No surprise here, as the veteran has routinely sat out one game of back-to-back contests for most of the year.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Absent On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) won't play on Sunday against the Celtics. The 24-year-old had 27 points off a game-high 21 attempts on Friday versus Golden State.

Bilal Coulibaly Will Play On Sunday Afternoon

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (back) is cleared to play on Sunday versus Phoenix. The rookie got off to a slow start this season. However, he's found a spot in the rotation and is now averaging 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. The 19-year-old is worth starting in deep fantasy formats. But with Kyle […]

Tyus Jones Will Suit Up Versus Phoenix

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old sprained his ankle on Friday against Miami and carried a questionable tag heading into Sunday's matinee. Fortunately, the Wizards will have him in the lineup, which is good news, considering the team won't have Kyle Kuzma […]
