Jamal Murray Available On Monday Night
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (calf) is good to go for Monday's postseason matchup with Minnesota. Most had assumed he'd be out there. However, Murray struggled in the Game 1 loss on Saturday night, scoring only 17 points and shooting 6-for-14 from the field, so DFS managers have reservations about putting him in their lineups. […]

Rudy Gobert Out For Game 2
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (personal) won't play on Monday against the Nuggets. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year became a father, so he'll take the night off. He finished Game 1 on Saturday night with 13 boards and three blocks while limiting Nikola Jokic to an 11-for-25 shooting performance. But now that Gobert […]

Luka Doncic Probable For Game 1
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder. The 2018 No. 3 overall pick had trouble shooting during the previous series versus the Los Angeles Clippers. However, he still averaged nearly a triple-double despite spraining his knee. With that said, Doncic should be out there for Game 1, barring […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) continues to recover from a gunshot wound sustained nearly a week ago.

Jamal Murray Back On The Injury Report For Monday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (calf) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling To Visit The Chargers
Free-agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is scheduled to visit the Chargers on Monday. The 29-year-old had six trips to the end zone in 2020 while still a member of the Green Bay Packers.

Jamal Murray Goes Cold In Game 1
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray had 17 points in Saturday's playoff loss to the Timberwolves. He added four assists and one rebound. The 27-year-old had trouble finding his rhythm in this one.

Lonzo Ball Exercises Option For 2024-25
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) exercised his $21.4 million option for the 2024-25 campaign.

During his time away, he's undergone three surgeries to address the issue, including a cartilage transplant. Ball […]

Evan Mobley Fizzles Offensively In Game 6

Khris Middleton Can't Lift Milwaukee To A Win
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton had 14 points in Thursday's loss to the Pacers. He added four boards, three assists, and two steals.

Jarrett Allen Officially Questionable For Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Orlando. The veteran is bothered by a right rib contusion, keeping him off the floor for Tuesday's win.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Still Out For Game 6
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) remains out for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Terance Mann On The Injury Report For Game 6
Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann (leg) is questionable for Friday's postseason encounter with the Mavericks. As expected, Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains out, so the team needs Mann to help fill the void in the lineup. The 27-year-old has posted double-digit scoring performances three times during the series. However, Mann is not a consistent fantasy […]

Kawhi Leonard Remains Out On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Friday against the Mavericks. There isn't any new information concerning his ailment.

Nikola Jovic Plays Better In Game 5
Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic had eight points, seven boards, and four assists in Wednesday's meeting with the Celtics. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough, as Boston closed out the series in five games. At any rate, the 2022 No. 27 overall pick picked things up toward the end of the 2023-24 campaign. He ended the […]

Duncan Robinson Quiet In Game 5
Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) finished with just two points in Wednesday's loss to Boston. Robinson admittedly wasn't healthy for this series.
