DeAndre Jordan Rejoins Lineup Monday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (personal) is back in the mix for Monday's contest versus the Kings following a one-game absence due to personal reasons. Jordan's return knocks Jeff Green's fantasy intrigue down a peg, with the team's starting center likely to reprise his traditional 20-22-minute role. Sacramento has scuffled mightily at slowing opposing centers […]

Erik Karlsson, Radim Simek Won't Play On Monday

San Jose Sharks defensemen Erik Karlsson (lower body) and Radim Simek (upper body) are both out for Monday's matchup versus Anaheim. The duo got injured in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Vegas.

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out For Monday’s Contest

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Nicolas Batum (migraine) will miss Monday's game against the Heat due to a migraine.

Marcus Morris and Patrick Patterson […]

Twins Sign Matt Shoemaker To One-Year Deal

The Minnesota Twins signed free-agent starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker to a one-year deal on Monday. The deal is worth $2 million and includes $250,000 in performance bonuses for the 34-year-old hurler, who has dealt with various injuries in his career. He's only made 18 starts since the end of 2017 due to forearm, knee, shoulder, […]

D'Angelo Russell Remains Unavailable Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sore left leg.

Martin Jones Looks To Get Back To Winning Ways

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will try to end a two-game losing run in Monday's matchup with the Ducks.

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom will earn his 13th start of the season in Monday's meeting against the Canucks.

Thatcher Demko Tries To Extinguish The Flames Again

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko is the team's starter between the pipes for Calgary's visit.

Demko improved his record to 4-6-0 with the performance. He has recorded a 3.46 […]

Kawhi Leonard, Patrick Beverley Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard (leg) and point guard Patrick Beverley (rest) have been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Heat.

Mike Smith Likely To Remain In Goal For Monday's Matchup

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith looks set to make his third start of the season on Monday versus Winnipeg. The veteran netminder has looked very impressive in his first two outings so far, recording wins on both occasions and saving 65 of 66 shots to register a 0.50 goals-against average and a .985 save percentage.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (leg) headed to the locker room Monday against the Indiana Pacers.

Joel Embiid Good To Go Against Jazz

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is starting Monday against the Utah Jazz. Embiid has been dealing with back tightness and was questionable, but will play through the ailment against Rudy Gobert and the top team in the league.

T.J. Warren Back With Team Monday

Indiana Pacers forward T. J. Warren (foot) is back with the team on Monday for the first time since undergoing successful surgery on his foot back on January 5th.

Kyle Kuzma Prime For Bigger Role With Anthony Davis Out

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) re-aggravated his Achilles tendonitis on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets and will be re-evaluated in about two-to-three weeks. This is a huge blow for Davis managers who are likely already disappointed with Davis's lack of elite production this season. With this news, Kyle Kuzma should be added across […]

Maurice Harkless Practices In Full Sunday

Miami Heat forward Maurice Harkless (thigh) went through his first full practice since suffering a thigh injury on January 23rd. Harkless was cleared to return last Thursday against the Houston Rockets, but did not play in that game or Saturday against the Utah Jazz. This was likely due to Harkless getting back to speed and […]

Marvin Bagley III, Richaun Holmes Questionable Monday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (calf) and forward/center Richaun Holmes (knee) are questionable to play Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. Bagley has already missed two games with the injury, but could make his return Monday if all goes well in shootaround. On the other hand, Holmes is dealing with some knee soreness on the […]

T.J. McConnell Starting For Injured Doug McDermott Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (knee) will not play Monday against the Chicago Bulls. McDermott had an MRI done, but that came back clean so we are looking at a short-term absence for now.

Jarrett Allen Takes Over As Starter

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will be the starting center going forward. It didn't take long for the Cavs to give Allen the keys to the castle. It sounds like Cleveland views Allen as their long term option at center. That being said, Andre Drummond has been pulled from the rotation as the organization searches […]

John Collins Could Get Traded

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins could be on the move sooner rather than later. It appears the Hawks are doing their due diligence since the two sides are not close to a contract extension. Collins already turned down a contract for over $90 million and it does not sound like Atlanta wants to offer him […]

Lonzo Ball Could Be Headed To Chicago

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball was recently put on the trade block and it sounds like he is drawing interest from multiple teams. One of the teams interested in bringing in Ball is the Chicago Bulls, according to Shams Charania. At first glance, Ball doesn't seem like the best fit for Chicago since they […]

Russell Westbrook Expected To Play Versus Rockets

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so normally the veteran guard is sitting out for rest purposes. Surprisingly, it sounds like he'll suit up versus his former team here. Ish Smith (groin) is sidelined, […]

OG Anunoby Doubtful Versus Bucks

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like he had a slight setback over the weekend and has been downgraded to doubtful. It seems like the Raptors are being extremely cautious, but they obviously don't want to risk any significant injuries. Norman Powell […]

Blake Griffin Out Indefinitely

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin is going to be held out of the rotation going forward. The organization is attempting to trade the veteran big man, so they plan on sitting him until they find a suitor. That could be a tough task considering he's owed $36.6 million this season and $39 million in 2021-2022. […]

Chiefs Will Try To Re-Sign Sammy Watkins

The Kansas City Chiefs will try to re-sign wide receiver Sammy Watkins this offseason, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.
