Joe Ingles Picks Up Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles (Achilles) has been placed back on the injury report with a questionable designation for Tuesday's contest versus Cleveland due to a sore right Achilles. Ingles was able to suit up for Utah's most recent game, which bodes well for his status, but it could indicate that he's far from […]

Eric Gordon Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday’s Game

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (leg) has been deemed questionable to play in Tuesday's contest versus the Lakers due to a tight left lower leg. Gordon has seen his role decrease off the bench over the previous two games, both of which have seen him score in single digits, shooting a combined 1-for-6 […]

Cleveland Scratches Collin Sexton At Tip-Off Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) was a literal last-second scratch Monday, being announced as the starter and getting set to take the floor before the team decided not to play him versus Memphis.

Kyrie Irving Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) has been listed as unavailable for Tuesday's game versus Denver, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to personal reasons. Caris Levert remained among the starting five Sunday without Irving available, a role that he figures to reprise so long as Irving remains sidelined. One of the league's premier […]

Loui Eriksson Placed On Waivers Monday

Vancouver Canucks right wing Loui Eriksson was waived and designated for assignment on Monday. The veteran forward had just 13 points in 49 games last season.

Yogi Ferrell Joins Cavs

Free-agent guard Yogi Ferrell has reportedly signed a 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The organization will use their hardship exception to bring in Ferrell. This team has been destroyed by injuries, so Ferrell will immediately see significant playing time. He could join the rotation as early as Monday's contest. There's not a ton of […]

Reggie Bullock Remains Out On Monday

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This is a tough blow to the Knicks who are already shorthanded. They will be forced to continue to lean on Austin Rivers, which is never a fun sentence to write. Possibly, rookie Immanuel Quickley gets more […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ready To Play

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is ready to make his season debut. Sadly, Monday's contest has been postponed, so fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer. The expectation is that the Mavs would ease Porzingis back into action. Fantasy managers will need to be patient with Porzingis, but it should pay off […]

Evan Fournier Continues To Sit Out

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the sixth game in a row that Fournier has missed. It's unclear when he'll get back on the court. James Ennis will continue to start, but hasn't done anything worth rostering him in fantasy leagues.

Russell Westbrook Likely Out A Week

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to miss at least a week of action. This is a big blow to the Wizards who just lost Thomas Bryant (knee) to a season-ending injury. Bradley Beal (rest) is expected to be ready for Monday's contest, so he'll see his usage skyrocket. Deni Avdija could end […]

Joel Embiid Cleared To Play On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) will be available for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Embiid is dealing with minor back tightness, but it won't be enough to hold him out. The Sixers are desperate for help with so many of their players sidelined at the moment. Embiid should see all the minutes he […]

DeMar DeRozan Won't Play Against Thunder

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This marks the second game in a row that DeRozan will be sidelined due to personal reasons. It's unclear if DeRozan will be ready for Thursday's contest, but until then Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge should […]

John Wall Sits Out Of Practice

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (head) was unable to practice on Monday. He sat out with a migraine and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest. This seems like a minor issue, so most likely Wall will play in this game. Otherwise, James Harden and Eric Gordon would see more chances with the ball.

Devin Vassell Questionable For Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He tweaked his knee during Sunday's game, but hopefully it's nothing serious. It sounds like minor knee soreness, but the Spurs might play it safe here. Rudy Gay could see extended playing time, assuming Vassell sits. […]

Mike Hoffman Inks One-Year Deal With Blues

Free-agent left wing Mike Hoffman signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the St. Louis Blues on Monday.
