Jalen Smith Ruled Out On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young forward will sit this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. Starting center Deandre Ayton (illness) remains listed as questionable, which means JaVale McGee could have plenty of streaming value here. McGee should already […]

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee, who missed the Monday night win over the Arizona Cardinals while on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, had a false-positive and is now eligible to play in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Bruce Brown Likely To Miss Time

Brooklyn Nets forward Bruce Brown won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It sounds like he is going to miss time after entering the league's safety protocols.

Gustav Forsling Sits Out Tuesday With An Illness

Florida Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling will miss Tuesday's clash with the Senators because of a non-COVID-19-related illness. Olli Juolevi will skate with Radko Gudas on the second defensive pairing.

Alec Burks Returning On Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (personal) is available for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was away from the team due to a personal matter, but will be back for this one.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was diagnosed with a low right ankle sprain after leaving the Week 14 loss to the Cleveland Browns on a cart.

DeAndre Hopkins Suffers Leg Injury, Will Have MRI

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (leg) will have an MRI on Tuesday after suffering a leg injury late in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Jonathan Kuminga Could See More Minutes

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been brilliant and deserves more playing time, according to head coach Steve Kerr.
