John Wall Set For Minutes Cap Tuesday

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) is on track to have his minutes monitored during Tuesday's game versus the Wizards, although there is no specific set number that the team will announce prior to tip-off. Wall is facing his former team for the first time in his career, but after a five-game absence due […]

Russell Westbrook Faces Minutes Limit Tuesday

The Washington Wizards may be short on players under the league's health and safety protocols, but that doesn't mean that point guard Russell Westbrook will have his minutes restriction removed for Tuesday's contest. Westbrook is capped in the mid-20s, per head coach Scott Brooks, which means that Raul Neto (groin) -- who has been cleared […]

Domantas Sabonis Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to a left knee bruise. Sabonis left the team's most recent contest, but appears to have avoided serious injury that would require a lengthy absence. The injury snapped his streak of 16 consecutive double-doubles to […]

Tristan Jarry Draws Start Versus Boston On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will be between the pipes as his team looks for a road victory versus the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

Anthony Gill Slides Into Starting Five For Tuesday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Anthony Gill will make the first start of his NBA career at 28 years old Tuesday versus the Rockets.

Joel Embiid On Track To Return For Wednesday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Lakers, a strong indication that he'll be back in action following a one-game absence due to back tightness.

Columbus Blue Jackets center Max Domi will assume first-line duties when his team takes the ice versus the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.

Christian Wood Will Miss Third Straight Game Tuesday

Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood (ankle, personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, paving the way for DeMarcus Cousins to make his third consecutive start.

Joonas Korpisalo Takes Crease Versus Florida

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will get the nod in net as his team faces the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. Korpisalo is coming off a strong performance in the Jackets' 3-2 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last Thursday in which he stopped 34 of 37 shots against. Despite earning just one win […]

Cam Reddish Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) will miss Tuesday's contest versus the Clippers due to persistent Achilles tendon issues.

Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard Headline New Starting Unit

The Los Angeles Clippers had three open spots to fill among their starting five for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Patrick Beverley (knee) all unavailable. Head coach Ty Lue tabbed Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard and Terance Mann to join the starting lineup, giving each of the trio increased DFS appeal. Lou Williams […]

Alex DeBrincat Out For Blackhawks On Tuesday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat will be out of the lineup for at least two weeks after being placed on the NHL's COVID-19 list on Tuesday. As a result, the 23-year-old could miss as many as eight games for the Hawks. The news is quite unfortunate for him and fantasy managers alike, as DeBrincat was […]

Trae Young, Clint Capela Cleared To Suit Up Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (back) and center Clint Capela (hand) have been given the green light to take the floor for Tuesday's contest versus the Clippers after having missed the team's previous outing.

Cam Talbot Set To Miss Another Start On Tuesday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot will miss his second consecutive start due to a lower-body injury when his team hosts the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.

Tom Wilson Listed As a Game-Time Call On Tuesday

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson has been classified as a game-time decision ahead of his team's matchup with the New York Islanders on Tuesday. The bruising winger did participate in the Caps' morning skate and took line rushes alongside forward Lars Eller and Richard Panik. Wilson's availability is crucial to fantasy owners, especially after his […]

Filip Chytil Out 4-6 Weeks With Injury

New York Rangers centerman Filip Chytil will be sidelined with an upper-body injury for the next four to six weeks. The 21-year-old departed the Rangers contest versus the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday after a hard open-ice collision with forward Evan Rodriguez, who also suffered an injury on the play. The news comes at a tough […]

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin will take the crease as his team takes on the visiting Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.

Jamie Benn Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn will be a game-time decision on Tuesday as his team hosts the Detroit Red Wings. The Stars captain, who departed his team's season opener with a lower-body injury, also missed his team's 3-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Sunday night. While Benn doesn't provide the monster numbers he once […]

Teams Asking About Matthew Stafford

Teams are already reaching out to the Detroit Lions to initiate trade talks to figure out what it will cost to acquire quarterback Matthew Stafford, according to sources.

The Milwaukee Brewers are one of two mystery teams showing interest in free-agent third baseman Justin Turner. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays have been his two primary suitors.

Rams Non-Committal On Jared Goff

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead was non-committal on quarterback Jared Goff's future when asked if Goff might not be on the team next season. "Not going to get into specifics on those. That's the beautiful mystery of the future. Jared Goff is a Ram at this moment. It's way too early to speculate," […]

Ehire Adrianza Signs With Braves

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent infielder/outfielder Ehire Adrianza to a minor league deal on Tuesday. It's unclear if Adrianza received an invitation to spring training. The 31-year-old spent the last four seasons with the Twins, hitting .253/.317/.377 with 13 home runs, 88 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 311 games. He hit just .191 with […]

Nick Mullens Has Successful Elbow Surgery

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens (elbow) underwent successful elbow surgery in late December, according to a source.

It's great news for the 25-year-old, as Tommy […]

Rodney Hood Might Miss Time

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (thigh) was held out of Monday's game.

Gary Trent Jr. was on fire on Monday, while Anfernee Simons had a productive game as well. Both could […]

Danuel House Jr. Will Be Eased Into Rotation

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (back) has finally returned after dealing with some lingering issues. Head coach Stephen Silas mentioned that the team is going to be smart with House going forward. He was dealing with a back issue and then COVID-19, so the team is going to ease him back into the rotation. […]

Pascal Siakam Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (knee, groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is dealing with right knee swelling and a nagging groin issue. It honestly wouldn't be surprising to see Siakam miss his third game in a row on Wednesday. Stanley Johnson has been starting, but OG Anunoby […]

Danilo Gallinari Upgraded To Probable Versus Clippers

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was previously questionable for this contest, but it sounds like Gallinari will be back on the court.

Cam Reddish Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was previously listed as probable, but possibly the team is going to play it safe during the first game of the back-to-back set.
