Dennis Clausen 9 months agoLaMelo Ball Sidelined Again On Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains out on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. At this point, it appears there's a realistic chance Ball won't return this season, especially with Charlotte unlikely to make the postseason. Fortunately, Tre Mann has filled in admirably, averaging 11.7 points, 5.5 boards, 5.2 assists, and 1.7 steals in the six games […]

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoCorey Kispert Questionable For Tuesday
Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Golden State. He didn't play on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a non-COVID-related illness. But if the 24-year-old returns on Tuesday evening, he has a place in most fantasy lineups. There's also a chance Kispert will start if Deni Avdija (heel) […]

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Golden State Warriors. He has missed the last two games because of a heel contusion.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The 30-year-old was questionable because of a sprained ankle.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoPaul George Out On Sunday Night
Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Paul has missed only three games this season. But as expected, the 33-year-old has played well, averaging 22.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. It's only knee soreness, so he should be back when the Clippers meet the Lakers on […]

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdia (heel) remains out on Sunday evening versus the Cavaliers. The 23-year-old has a heel contusion, keeping him off the floor for Friday's matchup against OKC.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will return on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games because of an illness.

Dennis Clausen 9 months agoKenyon Martin Jr. Downgraded On Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (ankle) is now out for Sunday's matchup with the Bucks. He was initially listed as probable on Saturday, so things must have taken a turn in the wrong direction since then.
