LeBron James Exits Early In Loss

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) was unable to finish out Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He basically disappeared with seven minutes left in the game, but wasn't helping much with five turnovers before exiting. It was later mentioned that James is dealing with right ankle soreness. Hopefully, James won't miss any games, […]

Gordon Hayward Could Return Before Playoffs

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (foot) reportedly has shed his walking boot, which is great news. However, the team has not given a timetable for Hayward's return to the court. The hope is that Hayward can return slightly before the playoffs, so he can get a few games in as a test run. It's highly […]

Norman Powell Might Sit Out Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is dealing with a minor knee issue, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Blazers take the cautious approach. The playoffs are quickly approaching and they don't need Powell suffering a long term injury. Derrick […]

Dennis Schroder Likely To Miss Two Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder is expected to miss roughly 10-14 days while he follows the NBA's health and safety guidelines. This is a significant blow to the Lakers as Schroder could miss the rest of the regular season. Anthony Davis and LeBron James will be asked to carry a heavier load. Alex Caruso […]

Christian Wood Believes He'll Miss Time

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle, quad) mentioned that he thinks he'll miss a couple of games due to injury. He was already dealing with an ankle issue and tweaked his quad during Sunday's contest. The Rockets aren't playing for anything, so they have no incentive to play Wood. Fantasy managers should expect Kenyon Martin […]

Tony Snell Removed From Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks forward Tony Snell (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was originally listed as questionable, but it appears he's healthy enough to suit up. Snell has been playing minutes in the low 20s, but is one of the hottest shooters from beyond […]

Steven Adams Listed As Questionable On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has missed three of the last four games while dealing with a toe issue. Willy Hernangomez has seen extended playing time and has been doing well without Adams available. Hernangomez averages 12.5 points, 11.0 rebounds […]

Mike Tauchman Plates Four Sunday, Heating Up

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Tauchman had another nice day at the plate in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Padres. Tauchman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run (his first of the season), four RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. It's a small sample size, but Tauchman has hit quite well since being traded to […]

Kevin Gausman Continues To Pitch Like Ace Sunday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman was on his game once again in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

The 30-year-old has seen his career turn around since […]

Austin Hays Hits Fourth Home Run Of Season Sunday

Bruce Zimmermann Bitten By Home Run Bug Again Sunday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Bruce Zimmermann gave up another long ball in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the A's. Zimmermann pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits (including a two-run home run) and two walks with four strikeouts. The 26-year-old has been plagued by HR issues this season, allowing a 2.10 […]

Jose Alvarado Implodes On Sunday Night Baseball

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado allowed three runs without recording an out against the Mets on Sunday Night Baseball. Oof.

Embiid finished with 13-for-23 shooting from the field, and he was a perfect 7-for-7 at the foul line with a 1-for-3 effort from deep. The […]

Randy Dobnak Sent To Triple-A

Minnesota Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak was sent down to Triple-A on Monday. Dobnak has struggled so far this year, pitching to a 8.16 ERA with a lower groundball rate than he had in each of the last two seasons.
