Will Barton Out Again On Tuesday Night

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran has sat out his previous nine games while dealing with a right hamstring strain. P.J. Dozier (hip) and Monte Morris (hamstring) are both out as well again, so the workload should continue to be divided up between Facundo Campazzo […]

Christian Arroyo Placed On 10-Day IL On Sunday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left hand contusion, according to the MLB transactions log.

Carmelo Anthony Out Again

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (ankle) won't play against the Rockets. The veteran missed the team's last outing against the San Antonio Spurs, which opened the door for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson to get some extra work.

Kelly Olynyk To Return Against Portland

Houston Rockets center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will be in the lineup on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran sat out the team's previous game against Utah due to a sore right ankle, allowing Khyri Thomas to rack up 27 points throughout 34 minutes.

Christian Wood Sitting On Monday Evening

Houston Rockets forward Christian Wood (ankle) won't be available for Monday's matchup against Portland. Wood continues to deal with right ankle soreness and has missed some time this season as a result.

Josh Jackson, Frank Jackson Questionable To Play Tuesday

Detroit Pistons shooting guards Josh Jackson (tooth) and Frank Jackson (ankle) have earned questionable designations for Tuesday's contest against the Timberwolves.

Statistically, Rodriguez lit it up, landing 125 significant strikes (144 total strikes) along with stuffing four of Waterson's five takedown tries. Rodriguez does have a […]

Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee, Cory Joseph Ruled Out Tuesday

The Detroit Pistons will be without three key contributors for Tuesday's contest versus Minnesota with power forward Jerami Grant (knee), center Mason Plumlee (rest) and point guard Cory Joseph (ankle) all sidelined.

Ben Simmons Set To Return For Tuesday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons (back) has not been listed on the team's injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest versus Indiana.

Dylan Strome Back In On Monday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Dylan Strome will make his return to the lineup on Monday versus the Dallas Stars after serving as a healthy scratch the past two contests. The 24-year-old has been bouncing in and out of the lineup recently due to the fact that he's really struggled to provide offense with just seven points […]

Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Kyle Lowry Ruled Out Tuesday

The Toronto Raptors will be without their three leading scorers for Tuesday's game against the Clippers with power forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder), point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (hip) and point guard Kyle Lowry (rest) all unavailable.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin will not dress due to a lower-body injury as his team takes on the Nashville Predators on Monday.

Joel Embiid Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers due to an illness.

Pekka Rinne Gets The Nod On Monday

Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne will make his first start in a month as his team hosts the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night.

Ondrej Kase Expected To Return Versus Islanders

Boston Bruins forward Ondrej Kase is expected to suit up as his team faces off against the visiting New York Islanders on Monday. The 25-year-old, who has only played two games this season, has been sidelined since mid-January due to an upper-body injury.

Tony Snell Will Miss Monday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Tony Snell (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus the Wizards.
