Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Christmas clash with the Timberwolves. He has missed the last six games because of a sprained ankle. However, the 22-year-old is seemingly moving in a favorable direction regarding a return to the court. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Hardy is having the worst year of his […]

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said after the game that an update on Caruso should come on Tuesday after […]

Ben Sheppard Upgraded To Available

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Ben Sheppard (oblique) is good to go for Monday's meeting with Golden State. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. The 22-year-old has averaged over 20 minutes a night across the season, but Sheppard's contributions haven't been good enough for fantasy managers. He has been limited to 6.1 points, 2.1 […]

Gary Payton II Misses First Game Of The Season

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) will not play against Indiana on Monday, missing his first game of the season. Payton II has shown impressive durability with 27 consecutive appearances, but a calf contusion has knocked him out of the lineup for Monday's game. He'll get his first chance to return on Christmas […]

Moses Moody Available For Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (knee) will be active against Indiana on Monday. He's available again for selection after missing the previous four contests with a knee problem. However, Moody availability isn't big news from a fantasy perspective, as he simply hasn't produced good enough numbers to be a viable option for managers. The […]

Dalano Banton Returns From Two-Game Absence

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Dalano Banton (hip) will be back in the lineup on Monday versus Dallas. He's available again after sitting out two contests with a hip injury. Banton adds a bit more quality to the Trail Blazers bench, with him averaging 9.8 points per game with 2.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 16.7 […]

Marcus Smart Unavailable Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will be absent from Monday's game against the Clippers. After recovering from a shoulder injury, Smart hurt his right index finger at the weekend and must come out of the lineup again. Luckily for the Grizzlies, Ja Morant (back) is back in the mix, and Desmond Bane (illness) remains […]

Desmond Bane Good To Go Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (illness) has been cleared to face the Clippers on Monday night. He landed late on the injury report with an illness, but the team has upgraded Bane from questionable to available. Bane has not been the best version of himself this season, settling for 14.9 points in 28.0 minutes. The […]

RJ Barrett Returns To Action Monday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (illness) will rejoin the action on Monday against the Knicks. He's missed two games because of an illness and was initially considered questionable for Monday's contest. However, Barrett has been upgraded to available and will start against his former team.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Not Play On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) will not suit up for Monday's matchup against Minnesota. Entering Monday, he was already listed as questionable for the contest, so it's not unexpected that Bogdanovic exits the lineup once again. The Serbian veteran has been limited to only 14 appearances this season, averaging 11.3 points in 25.4 […]

Max Strus Available Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (ankle) will play against Utah on Monday. He's off the injury report after sitting out Saturday's meeting with Philadelphia. Following an ankle injury, Strus made his season debut Friday night, so seeing him sit out Saturday's contest wasn't surprising. Strus posted nine points with two assists in 19 minutes against […]

Jalen Suggs Playing Monday

According to Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com, Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) is available to suit up against the Celtics. Suggs is having a solid season, averaging career-highs in points (16.0), rebounds (4.2), assists (3.9), and steals (1.5). The 23-year-old suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's loss to the Thunder and didn't play on Saturday […]

Sam Merrill Active Versus Jazz

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (quadriceps) will play on Monday against Utah. A quadriceps injury limited Merrill to only eight minutes of action last time out against Philadelphia, but he's been cleared for action after carrying a questionable tag entering Monday. Merrill will make his second start of the campaign, filling in for Dean Wade […]

Keyonte George Ruled Out On Monday Night

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This will be his second straight game missed after spraining his ankle against the Detroit Pistons last week. George has been a solid offensive option for Utah this season, averaging 16.2 PPG and 5.7 APG. In […]

Bilal Coulibaly Listed As Questionable Against Thunder

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coulibaly is dealing with left groin soreness. The 20-year-old hasn't missed a game in a month so both Wizards fans and fantasy managers should be hopeful he's able to gut it out. He's running hot over […]

Josh Giddey Questionable For Monday Night, Could Miss Third Straight Game

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Giddey sprained his ankle in last week's game against the Toronto Raptors and has missed Chicago's last two games. If the 22-year-old is unable to go it will be his third straight game and be the only […]

Damian Lillard Unavailable Monday Due To Illness

According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday due to a non-COVID-related illness. Lillard was already listed as doubtful going into Monday after missing two consecutive games due to a right calf strain. While the 34-year-old is sidelined, players like Delon Wright, […]

The Toronto native has only missed five games so far this season and averages 23.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 2.0 threes per game. If he has to miss […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Uncertain To Face Minnesota

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) is questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 32-year-old has had a rough season, averaged 11.3 points and 33.7% shooting from behind the arc, both career-lows. With Trae Young (foot) also questionable, Bogdanovic has a chance to get more involved against Minnesota. However, if Young and Bogdanovic […]

Jimmy Butler Tagged As Questionable Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness. This illness took him out of their last game on Saturday, so it could cause a two-game absence if he doesn't feel well enough leading up to tip-off. If Butler is unable to […]

Ricky Council IV Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ricky Council IV (knee) is listed as questionable to face the San Antonio Spurs on Monday while he deals with some knee soreness. Even though Council's playing time is inconsistent, it's worth noting that Tyrese Maxey (illness - probable) was a late addition to the injury report, and Eric Gordon (face) is […]

Keyonte George Unlikely To Play Against The Cavs

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Cavaliers. He has been a productive option for Utah this season, averaging 16.2 points and 5.7 assists. Unfortunately, the 21-year-old missed Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets because of a sprained ankle and appears to be heading toward a second-consecutive absence. […]

Tyrese Maxey Appears On Injury Report, Considered Probable

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) was a later addition to the injury report on Monday but is considered to be probable to face the San Antonio Spurs. Usually, this late of an addition to the report is not a good sign, but with illnesses floating around, it's likely to come down to how Maxey […]

Brandon Miller Out Versus Houston

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) remains out on Monday versus Houston. The 22-year-old has had a quality 2024-25 campaign, averaging 21.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals, all career-highs. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained ankle, so his next chance to get back on the floor will be on Thursday […]

Jalen Suggs Questionable On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the visiting Celtics. Suggs has had a productive 2024-25 campaign, averaging career-highs in points (16.0), rebounds (4.2), assists (3.9), and steals (1.5).
