Aron Baynes Ruled Out Against Kings
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. Baynes picked up a hip injury Monday night against his former team, the Boston Celtics. For now, the injury is not serious and the back-to-back set may have something to do with Baynes sitting out. Frank Kaminsky (hip) is a game-time […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoDerrick White Will Sit Wednesday Night
San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (foot) will not play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. White is dealing with some foot soreness, but the fact he was ruled out a day in advance is a little concerning. Without White in the lineup, Lonnie Walker IV will likely be backup point guard to Dejounte Murray. […]

The showtime Los Angeles Lakers headline Tuesday's four-game slate. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have lead the Lakers to a 11-2 record and currently sit atop the Western conference. With only four games, James and Davis are easily the highest priced players for Tuesday's slate. Both will be popular options for good reason. Let's find […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) will play Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Beverley was questionable with a calf injury, but has healed up enough to play without a minutes restriction on Monday. Beverley's return will push either Terance Mann or Rodney McGruder to the bench. Mann was much more effective in the […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoRicky Rubio Doubtful With Back Spasms
Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (back) is doubtful to play Monday night against the Boston Celtics. Rubio popped up on the injury report late after suffering back spasms. The injury most likely occurred at some point during shootaround or warm-ups. The Suns play again on Tuesday in the middle of a five-game week, so […]

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will miss Monday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Leonard has missed three straight games with a knee contusion, but was questionable coming into tonight and should be nearing a return. In Leonard's absence, Paul George and Lou Williams will lead the Clippers offense. Both will likely […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoTyson Chandler Will Rest Monday
Houston Rockets center Tyson Chandler (rest) will sit the first night of a back-to-back on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Clint Capela (concussion) is returning to the starting lineup after a concussion which will allow the Rockets to rest the veteran Chandler.

Dale Johnson 5 years agoKawhi Leonard And Patrick Beverley Questionable Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) and guard Patrick Beverley (calf) are listed as questionable for Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Leonard and Beverley have missed the past two games: one for a rest day and the other due to their respective ailments.

Free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony will be signing with the Portland Trail Blazers, per Adrian Wojnarowski. This was a completely unexpected signing with Anthony out of the league for most of last season. There is a chance Anthony starts right away at the four over Nassir Little. If you need a scorer, Anthony might be worth […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoMitchell Robinson Cleared To Play Off Bench Thursday
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (concussion) will play, but he will come off the bench against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. This is great news for fantasy owners, since concussions can be tricky injuries. Robinson will most likely be limited in his first game back. Despite coming off the bench, Robinson will likely […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoBrandon Ingram Remains Sidelined Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) will not play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ingram was being treated as a true game-time decision, so it appears he will return sooner rather than later. With Ingram, Josh Hart (knee) and Lonzo Ball (groin) all out Thursday, Kenrich Williams and J.J. Redick will get […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoJeff Teague Available Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (illness) is available to play Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Teague has been sidelined for four straight games with an illness, but finally feels good enough to take the floor. Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie will take hits in value, but will likely still get decent playing […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoPaul George Out Wednesday, "Might Play" Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) will not make his season debut Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. However, coach Doc Rivers said Paul George "might play" Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of practice and will be reevaluated in three-to-four weeks. This is a tough blow for the Kings who are already without Marvin Bagley (thumb). In Fox's absence, either Cory Joseph, Yogi Ferrell or Bogdan Bogdanovic will start while the rest […]
Dale Johnson 5 years agoBrandon Ingram A Late Scratch Monday Night
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee soreness) will not play Monday night against the Houston Rockets. This comes as a surprise with no previous reports of the injury.

Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) will play and start Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Rodney Hood (back) will not play Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. Hood left his previous game with back spasms and was questionable coming into the contest.

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) will play Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. Ross missed the previous two outings, but was expected to play Sunday after his knee made some progress.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will sit out Sunday against the Orlando Magic. Turner was questionable coming into the contest still nursing a sprained ankle, but appears to be making process.

Miami Heat guard/forward Justise Winslow (head) will miss Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Winslow made his return to the court Tuesday and played 30 minutes, but has been dealing with headaches and will sit Thursday.

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (knee) will sit again Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets. Kanter is improving, but the Celtics reported he is not healthy enough to take an active roster spot from a healthy player.

We have superstars galore in Tuesday's six-game slate headlined with Trae Young (ankle) hopefully making his return after a scary ankle injury.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (toe) will not play Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
