Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks.

Jayson Tatum Could Miss Thursday's Action

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) could sit out Thursday's outing versus Detroit as the Eastern Conference leaders start a back-to-back.

Killian Hayes Probable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is regarded as probable for Thursday's matchup against Boston.

Jusuf Nurkic Likely To Return On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (personal) looks poised to return to the court Wednesday versus Houston. He's sat out the last two games for personal reasons but is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup. Nurkic has been a double-double machine while offering two-way value for fantasy managers.

However, with Gary Harris (calf) on the injury report […]

Gary Harris Questionable Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Philadelphia. Following Tuesday's 19-minute shift versus Washington, Harris has landed on the injury report with a right calf strain.

Nicolas Batum Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game ahead of the team's visit to Orlando.

Kelly Oubre Jr. has moved into the starting unit in Batum's […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Wednesday

LeBron James Questionable For Christmas Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is regarded as questionable for a clash with Boston on Christmas Day. James sat out a game last week with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, but he's been playing through health issues for most of the season, and it would be a surprise if he didn't suit up on […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of Monday's Christmas showdown against the Celtics. He's been on the report for almost the entire season, but Davis has missed only two games, so fantasy managers shouldn't stress too much about his status ahead of Monday's special game. Davis is having […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Christmas Matchup

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is listed as probable for Monday's Christmas matchup against the Knicks.

Aaron Gordon Listed As Probable For Christmas Battle

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (heel) is considered probable for Monday's Christmas matchup against Golden State.
