D'Angelo Russell Returns To Lakers Lineup As Starter

Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) will rejoin the action on Monday against Minnesota and is set to start the game. Each of Russell's last 11 appearances has come off the bench, but he will fill in for Austin Reaves (pelvis) in the first unit on Monday. As a starter, Russell averaged 12.0 […]

Austin Reaves Remains Out On Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (pelvis) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday against Minnesota. He is considered day-to-day with a left pelvic contusion. Reaves' absence on Sunday versus Utah gave Gabe Vincent a chance to start. He had a solid but unspectacular game with 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one […]

Anthony Davis Cleared To Play Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) will play against Minnesota on Monday. As usual, Davis was listed as probable on the initial injury report, but the team has upgraded him to available. Davis is coming off another big performance, having tallied a game-high 33 points and 11 rebounds in Sunday's 105-104 victory over Utah. […]

Cameron Johnson Downgraded To Out

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) will not suit up for Monday's tilt against Chicago. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The Nets are down to bare bones on Monday, giving the likes of Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin a chance to showcase their talent better. Meanwhile, we should see Dennis Schroder a […]

Coby White Will Not Play On Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Brooklyn. He'll be out for the first time this season after spraining his left ankle against Boston on Friday. White averages the second-most minutes on the team, meaning there's going to be plenty of extra work available for the rest of […]

Sam Hauser Misses Monday's Game For Personal Reasons

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with Miami. After making his first start of the campaign on Sunday versus Cleveland, Hauser will exit the lineup due to personal reasons. Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), and Al Horford (toe) are all out as well, opening up a lot […]

Derrick White Back In Celtics Lineup Monday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) will rejoin the lineup for Monday's tilt against Miami. White was unavailable as Boston kicked off a back-to-back on Sunday versus Cleveland, and he was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game. Jrue Holiday (knee) will not take the court on Monday, meaning White will have extra responsibilities. He […]

Jayson Tatum Active On Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play against Miami on Monday. Following Sunday's 115-111 loss to Cleveland, Tatum carried a questionable tag on the initial injury report but has now been upgraded to available.

Patrick Kane To Miss Tuesday's Game

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) will remain out for a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Boston.

Kane started the season reasonably well but was stuck in an awful slump before exiting the […]

Jeff Petry Considered Day-To-Day

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The 36-year-old veteran missed Monday's practice and might have to sit out Tuesday's game against Boston. Petry averages nearly 19 minutes of ice time for the Red Wings and has even seen regular power-play time lately, but he's been limited to three assists in […]

Matt Dumba Back In Action Monday

Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba will re-enter the lineup for Monday's matchup against Utah. The veteran has sat out two games as a healthy scratch. Dumba has posted nearly 250 career points, but his fantasy stock is at an all-time low. In 15 outings this season, he's managed just one assist with 14 shots, 14 […]

Logan Stankoven Rejoins Stars Lineup Monday

Dallas Stars forward Logan Stankoven (lower body) will return from a two-game absence on Monday versus Utah. The 21-year-old will take over from Tyler Seguin (lower body), who is set for a multi-game absence. Stankoven is tied for fourth on the team in scoring with 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 21 games. However, […]

Tyler Seguin Placed On Injured Reserve

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve ahead of Monday's game against Utah. The move is retroactive to Dec. 1, leaving Seguin ineligible for four games.

Tomas Tatar Remains Out On Monday

New Jersey Devils left wing Tomas Tatar (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Rangers. He sustained a lower-body injury on Friday against Detroit. Tatar's efforts include three goals and six assists in 23 games this season. Shane Bowers replaced Tatar in the lineup on Saturday against Washington, but he […]

Jake McCabe Out On Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (upper body) will miss Monday's contest against Chicago. The 31-year-old was hit up high by a puck in Saturday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay and will sit out Monday's game for precautionary reasons. McCabe comes out of the lineup for the first time this season. He's been quietly effective […]

Jake Oettinger Backstops Stars To Victory Versus Jets

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger put in an impressive performance against the Jets on Sunday, finishing a 3-1 victory with 26 saves. Oettinger was beaten by Adam Lowry early on, but he was then perfect with his work for the rest of the way, improving to 9-1-0 on home ice. Oettinger's overall record now stands […]

Kent Johnson Remains Hot In Sunday's Win

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kent Johnson found the back of the net once in Sunday's 6-3 win over Chicago, giving him a nine-game point streak. The scoring run is stretched across three months because Johnson missed 14 games with a shoulder injury. Ryan Johansen is the only player in Blue Jackets history to have a […]

Charlie McAvoy Pots Two Goals As Bruins Cruise Past Canadiens

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy provided two goals in Sunday's big 6-3 win over Montreal. His second of the game came in a short-handed situation, and McAvoy added four shots, three blocks, and two hits to his tally with a plus-four rating across 23:00 of action. This was possibly the best outing of the season […]

Brady Tkachuk Scores Twice In Shootout Loss

Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk had two goals on a game-high 12 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Anaheim.

The prolific spell includes three multi-point outings, giving […]

Troy Terry Amasses Three Assists In Victory Over Senators

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry recorded three assists and scored in the shootout as the team beat Ottawa 4-3 on home ice Sunday. Terry assisted Frank Vatrano on two goals, including once on the power play, and linked up with Vatrano to help Jackson LaCombe get a goal. Terry's night included a whopping nine […]

Lucas Raymond Extends Point Streak To Career-Best Seven Games

Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond extended his point streak to a career-best seven games in Sunday's 5-4 overtime defeat against Vancouver. He finished the contest with two helpers, dishing out one assist on the power play. The Swedish forward was also desperate to extend a five-game goal streak and produced a game-high six shots. […]

Quinn Hughes Breaks Canucks' Assists Record

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes became the franchise's leader in assists among blue-liners with three helpers in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win against Detroit. He moved past Alexander Edler, reaching 313 assists for his career. Two of the assists came on the power play. Hughes sits among the league's most prolific defensemen and has been on […]

Coby White Regarded As Questionable For Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is considered questionable to play against Brooklyn on Monday. After dealing with a wrist injury, White hurt his left ankle against Boston on Friday. Talen Horton-Tucker has provided excellent bench scoring for the Bulls lately and might see extra action with White unavailable on Monday. At the same time, […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Likely To Return On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Monday versus New Orleans. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Bogdanovic sat out Saturday's contest against Charlotte as Atlanta completed a back-to-back. The veteran scorer has returned from a hamstring injury, and the Hawks don't want to overwork […]

Trae Young Listed As Probable For Monday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) has been listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Monday's action against New Orleans. The Hawks superstar is dealing with right Achilles tendinitis but has played through the issue with no problems. Young went a bit quiet against the Hornets on Saturday but has been performing […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Sidelined Versus Nuggets

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) will sit out Sunday's tilt against Denver. He hurt his left ankle in Friday's 93-92 loss to Minnesota. Porter Jr. scored a season-high 17 points and had three steals in Friday's contest. He's carved out a decent role on the Clippers squad, averaging 8.8 points, 3.5 […]

Kevin Huerter Out On Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kevin Huerter (ankle) will not play in Sunday's contest against San Antonio. He injured his right ankle against Portland on Friday and was previously already considered doubtful for the game. Huerter's absence should guarantee extra work for Keon Ellis and Malik Monk. The latter has far more fantasy appeal, especially as Monk […]

Norman Powell Ready To Rock Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will return to action on Sunday against Denver. He has finally recovered from a hamstring strain, which kept Powell sidelined for six games. The 31-year-old is off to a great start to the season and has even started to sneak into All-Star conversations. Powell has averaged 23.3 points […]

Kris Murray Active On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (sternum) will be in the lineup on Sunday against Dallas. He's nursing a bruised sternum, but the team has upgraded Murray from probable to available. Murray has a limited role with the Trail Blazers, averaging 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds across 13.7 minutes. Dallas allows the third-fewest bench points […]

Jerami Grant Back In Action Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) will return from a two-game absence against Dallas on Sunday. The team has upgraded him to available after initially listing Grant as questionable for the game with a left knee sprain, which has bothered him for a bit. The Trail Blazers continue to roll with a thin lineup, […]
