Philadelphia Scratches Joel Embiid Prior To Tip-Off

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz despite having been cleared to play earlier in the day. Battling back tightness, Embiid will now cede way to Mike Scott, who figures to see a dramatic increase in DFS appeal with the added minutes and role. When healthy, […]

Paul Millsap, Will Barton Headline Absent Nuggets Tuesday

The Denver Nuggets will be without four key contributors for Tuesday's game versus Boston, including power forward Paul Millsap (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Will Barton (personal). Gary Harris (adductor) and P.J. Dozier (hamstring) will join them, leaving the team severely short-handed on the wing, which paves the way for Michael Porter Jr. to see […]

Connor Hellebuyck Makes 11th Start Of The Year Monday Night

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will man the crease on Monday against the Oilers. He's looking to regain form after picking up only two wins in his last six appearances. Hellebuyck has a 6-4-1 record for the season with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage. He's been solid so far, but the […]

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. The absence marks just the second of the year for Batum, which leaves L.A. without four of their regular starters, including Kawhi Leonard (leg), Paul George (toe), and Patrick Beverley (rest). 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.

Jones' record has fallen to 5-4-0 and he carries a 3.96 goals-against average with a […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Portland, although head coach Mark Daigneault has indicated that a return may not be far off. Gilgeous-Alexander is in the midst of a potential All-Star season, averaging 22.6 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per contest, all while shooting […]

Jacob Markstrom Makes 13th Start Of The Season

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

Markstrom had a nice outing personally at the weekend, saving 43 of 45 shots to register a .956 […]

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. The 25-year-old will look for his second consecutive win against the Flames after he saved 18 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-1 victory in the matchup. 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. Leonard's absence due to a left leg contusion marks his second straight outing on the sidelines, joining Paul George (toe) as L.A. will have to make up for the departure of […]

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. […]

Patrick Williams Heads To Locker Room Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (leg) headed to the locker room Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Williams had his leg inadvertently knocked into by Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb, but was able to walk off on his own power. As for now, Williams is likely questionable to return, but may take the rest of the night […]

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. The Jazz allow the sixth-least amount of points to opposing centers while holding them to just […]

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. Warren is still out indefinitely and does not have any timetable on his return, but this is a big step in his recovery. The next step […]

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. T.J. McConnell is slated to start for McDermott and is a great source of assists and steals regardless if he starts […]

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.
