Trae Young Good To Go Against The Defending Champs

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) will be available against the Lakers on Monday evening.

Over the last two weeks, Green is averaging 13.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists per game. Obviously, the Nets have Kevin Durant, Kyrie […]

Jordan Yamamoto Traded To Mets

The New York Mets have acquired right-handed pitcher Jordan Yamamoto from the Miami Marlins for minor league infielder Federico Polanco.

Norman Powell Doubtful For Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (quad) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Head coach Nick Nurse was hopeful that Powell could return at some point this weekend.

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He will undergo an MRI, so more information should be known soon.

Nerlens Noel Could Miss Another Game

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He didn't play on Sunday and was unable to practice on Monday. It sounds like Noel is likely going to miss at least one more game. Taj Gibson would see extended minutes, but isn't an ideal fantasy […]

D'Angelo Russell Could Sit Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set and Russell appeared fine on Sunday. However, the Wolves tend to be cautious, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Russell sits out. Ricky Rubio should be a reliable DFS […]

Naz Reid Questionable On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was unable to play on Sunday and very well could miss both games of this back-to-back set. His window for having fantasy value is quickly decreasing. Once Karl-Anthony Towns returns Reid won't have much value whatsoever.

Lavonte David's Injury Is Minor

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (hamstring), who was listed as questionable on last Friday's injury report for Super Bowl LV against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 7, will play this Sunday in the big game.
