Kristaps Porzingis Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The big man lands on the injury report after exiting early on Sunday due to a back issue. It's worth noting that Porzingis was able to return and finish out that contest. If he sits, Al Horford […]
LeBron James, Anthony Davis Land On Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. There is no shock here as both James and Davis are regulars on the injury report. The Lakers seem to list them as questionable ahead of basically every game. Usually, James […]

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (toe) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The big man has been dealing with a lingering toe issue lately. Despite that, Kleber posted a double-double during Saturday's game. It's worth noting that he'll come off the bench with PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford moving into the […]

Free-agent catcher Chad Wallach has signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Angels that includes an invite to big-league spring training. The 31-year-old saw the most playing time of his career with the Halos last season due to the long-term shoulder injury suffered by catcher Logan O'Hoppe. Wallach struggled at the plate, however, hitting […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates and free-agent catcher Yasmani Grandal agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal on Sunday, according to a source.

Logan Couture Considered Day-To-Day
San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture (groin) is considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if he can play on Wednesday versus Winnipeg. He's played in six consecutive games since making his season debut on Jan. 20, but there's a chance Couture has to come out of the lineup again. So far, he's picked up one assist […]

Dereck Lively II Still Out On Monday
Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) won't play on Monday against Washington. The rookie underwent a procedure a week ago to address his fractured nose.

Alperen Sengun Back On The Injury Report
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Knicks. The 21-year-old is widely considered one of the best big men in the National Basketball Association. He missed his first game of the year on Saturday against the Hawks because of low back pain, allowing Jeff Green to enter the starting […]
Jericho Sims Probable Versus Houston
New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (illness) is expected to play on Monday against Houston. Under normal circumstances, Sims' availability won't mean much to fantasy managers. However, there's a chance he could start if Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) misses another game. But even if Sims gets more action versus the Rockets, his impact on the fantasy […]
Mo Bamba Questionable On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old missed Saturday's meeting in Washington. However, fantasy managers are used to life without Bamba this season, considering he's missed 22 games already. There are minutes up for grabs until Joel Embiid (knee) returns. But regardless of whether Bamba […]
Jalen Smith Out Again On Monday
Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (back) won't play on Monday against Charlotte. Statistically, the 23-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds. Unfortunately, he's missed time throughout the 2023-24 campaign, which has been a source of frustration for fantasy managers. Nonetheless, without Smith in the mix, […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. Won't Play On Sunday
Boston Celtics forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Sunday against Miami. The 25-year-old, who was traded from Memphis on Thursday, continues to deal with a knee injury.

Duop Reath Unavailable On Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers center Duop Reath (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the second game in a row that Reath will miss due to right knee tendinitis. His absence won't make a huge impact with Deandre Ayton (illness) cleared to play. Ayton should see a […]
Deandre Ayton Will Play On Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) will suit up for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ayton sat out of Thursday's game due to an illness but will make his return on Saturday. The return of Ayton should push Jabari Walker to the second unit. The Blazers are pretty banged up right now, […]
OKC Adding Bismack Biyombo
Free-agent center Bismack Biyombo will sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He'll earn the minimum, but it's a necessary move for a team looking to bolster depth underneath the rim.
