Nikola Vucevic Out Again

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) will not play on Monday evening against the visiting 76ers. The big man will now miss his second consecutive contest due to tightness in his right Adductor.

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is out once again on Monday night. The 23-year-old has missed his previous 11 contests due to left knee soreness, and with the 2021 campaign coming to an end, we may have seen the last of him this season. Cory Joseph (ankle) is also out against Orlando, so […]

Mason Plumlee To Rest On Monday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) will not play on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the team's previous two games for the same reason, and with the Pistons looking toward at next year, Isaiah Stewart could remain the starter during the final eight games. Stewart had a decent outing against the Hornets […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Monday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) will sit out on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the previous two games due to soreness in his right knee, and with the team looking toward next season, he likely won't be rushed back into action.

Jakarr Sampson Out Against Washington

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) will not play on Monday evening against Washington.

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (leg) will not play against the Lakers on Sunday night. The sophomore has missed the team's previous four contests while dealing with a bruise on his left leg.

Anthony Davis Will Play Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's matchup against Toronto.

However, with the Lakers playing the first half of a back-to-back, Davis may end up sitting more if […]

LeBron James Will Play Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will suit up on Sunday evening against the Toronto Raptors. The former MVP returned from an extended absence due to a right ankle sprain on Friday and finished with 16 points, eight boards, seven assists, two steals, and a block.

Lorenzo Cain Will Be Back Against Phillies

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps) will be back during the upcoming series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

However, […]

Christian Yelich To Return Against Philadelphia

Harrison Barnes Likely To Miss Another one

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (hip) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Darius Garland Doesn’t Suit Up On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) didn't play on Saturday against Miami. The 21-year-old sprained his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Wizards and was replaced against the Heat by Cedi Osman, who finished with a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double. If Garland doesn't suit up on Tuesday against Phoenix, which is possible considering how much […]

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) did not play on Saturday against the Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with tightness in his right Adductor, an injury that puts him in jeopardy to miss Monday's encounter with Philadelphia.

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) isn't close to returning, according to head coach Steve Nash. The former MVP hasn't played since the beginning of April while tending to a strained right hamstring.

Jesse Winker Doesn’t Play Against Chicago

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (back) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. The veteran departed Friday's matchup with back tightness, and though the ailment doesn't appear too serious at the moment, it is something fantasy managers should keep an eye on ahead of Sunday's series finale. Winker is currently in the […]

Willson Contreras Not In The Lineup Against Cincy

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (thigh) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Reds. The veteran left Friday's contest after experiencing tightness in his right thigh.
