C.J. McCollum Facing One-Week Absence

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum (foot) has been ruled out for at least the next week due to a sprained left foot that he sustained Saturday.

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Sterling Brown (leg) has been deemed unavailable for Monday's contest versus the Bulls due to a leg injury.

Wizards-Hornets Contest Postponed Wednesday

The Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets matchup that was set to take place Wednesday has been postponed due to new positive COVID-19 tests among the Wizards' roster.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Gets Green Light To Suit Up Monday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) has been cleared to play in Monday's contest versus Toronto despite battling a strained left groin that caused a one-game absence. As the Mavericks continue to be short-handed on the wing due to the league's health and safety protocols, Hardaway should see an increased offensive workload. […]

Kyrie Irving Remains Absent For Monday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Milwaukee as he continues to get back into game shape following an absence due to personal reasons. Irving's absence will now stretch beyond two weeks, as Monday marks the seventh straight game that he has missed. James Harden figures to continue […]

Tyler Herro Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (neck) has been deemed unavailable for Monday's contest versus Detroit as he continues to battle neck spasms.

Otto Porter Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Chicago Bulls small/power forward Otto Porter (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Houston due to a strained lower back. Porter's absence will be his second of the year, paving the way for Thaddeus Young to see an increased role off the bench behind both Patrick Williams (hip) and Lauri Markkanen. Porter has […]

Lou Williams Ruled Out For Sunday’s Contest

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) will miss his second straight game Sunday versus the Pacers as he continues to be bothered by a hip ailment.

Cam Reddish Picks Up Questionable Tag For Monday

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Cam Reddish (knee) has been listed as questionable to suit up for Monday's game versus Minnesota due to a left knee contusion.

New Orleans Starts Eric Bledsoe For Sunday’s Game

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Eric Bledsoe has been bumped back up into the starting five for Sunday's contest versus Sacramento.

With Lonzo Ball (knee) expected to miss additional time, there is upside potential for Bledsoe in […]

Sterling Brown Questionable To Return For Monday’s Game

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Sterling Brown has been deemed questionable to get back into the mix for Monday's contest versus the Bulls as he works through the league's health and safety protocols. Brown missed Saturday's game, which would have been another potential fantasy boon, following a 23-point showing in his first start of the […]

Hassan Whiteside Unavailable For Sunday’s Contest

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (hip) will miss his second straight game Sunday versus New Orleans due to hip soreness. The Kings accrued just two blocks as a team in Whiteside's absence as the Clippers mercilessly attacked the rim, which could be much of the same case for the Pelicans on Sunday. Chimezie Metu saw […]

Dario Saric Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Dario Saric will miss Monday's contest versus the Grizzlies due to the league's health and safety protocols.

Eric Gordon, DeMarcus Cousins Likely To Return Monday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (leg) and center DeMarcus Cousins (ankle) have been tagged as probable to suit up for Monday's contest versus the Bulls. Gordon's absence would end at two games due to leg soreness, while Cousins missed just one outing with an ankle ailment. The Rockets had been severely short-handed without […]

Ricky Rubio Remains Out For Monday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio will be unavailable for Monday's contest against the Hawks under the league's health and safety protocols. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Juan Hernangomez also on the sidelines, Minnesota's rotations will take on a new look. Out of the backcourt, fantasy managers can anticipate Jordan McLaughlin bumping up to snag Rubio's […]

Jimmy Butler, Avery Bradley Continue Absences Monday

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and shooting guard Avery Bradley have been ruled out for their fourth straight contest Monday against Detroit due to the league's health and safety protocols. At this stage, just Butler and Bradley remain from the Heat's recent absences due to COVID-19 related issues, with their return date far […]

John Wall Will Miss Third Straight Game Monday

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Chicago, marking his third consecutive absence due to knee soreness. With Houston not having a true backup PG, it's been a collaborative effort in setting up the offense in Wall's absence, as Victor Oladipo is the likeliest candidate to see […]

Tyler Herro Earns Questionable Tag For Monday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (neck) has again been deemed questionable to suit up Monday versus Detroit due to neck spasms after having been unable to take the floor Saturday.

Victor Oladipo Will Make Rockets Debut Monday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Victor Oladipo has been given the green light to make his team debut during Monday's game versus the Bulls.

Brooklyn Lists Kyrie Irving As Questionable To Play Monday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) has picked up a questionable tag for Monday's contest versus the Bucks due to still needing to clear the league's health and safety protocols following his absence due to personal reasons.

C.J. McCollum Unavailable For Monday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Spurs due to a sprained left foot. McCollum sustained the injury during Saturday's win over Atlanta, with his absence allowing Gary Trent Jr. to see extended run off the bench and for Damian Lillard to take on a […]

Jonas Valanciunas Will Miss Monday’s Game

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas has been deemed out for Monday's contest versus the Suns due to the league's health and safety protocols. Valanciunas' absence may force further changes to the league's schedule, but Sunday's game between Philadelphia -- who played Memphis on Saturday -- and Oklahoma City has been called off. Phoenix has not […]
