Deandre Ayton Ruled Out For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man continues to miss time due to a lingering right knee issue. The Blazers aren't going to rush their big man back on the court, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss […]

Mark Williams Sitting Out On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man continues to miss time due to a lower back contusion. Nick Richards will remain the starting five and will likely continue to do that until Williams returns. Richards has been playing well and […]

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. He's been on the injury report lately with a right midfoot sprain, but Antetokounmpo has battled through the ailment and is fully expected to continue to do so on Christmas. The Bucks superstar had his Christmas Day debut […]

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable For Meeting With Lakers

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) might have to skip a second consecutive game on Monday versus the Lakers. He sprained his left ankle last week and couldn't suit up on Saturday versus the Clippers, and the team considers him questionable for Monday's action. Al Horford will likely remain in the starting lineup if Porzingis […]

Joel Embiid Officially Out On Christmas Day

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) will miss Christmas Day action against Miami. After spraining his right ankle Friday versus Toronto, the reigning MVP hasn't had enough time to recover. It's going to be the fourth game Embiid misses this season. Paul Reed is looking at his second start of the campaign, while Robert Covington […]

Mitch Garver Inks Contract With Seattle

Catcher Mitch Garver agreed to terms with the Seattle Mariners for two years. Garver is coming off a World Series title with division foe Texas but will look to help the Mariners improve upon their 88-win season. Cal Raleigh is Seattle's top backstop, and this signing shouldn't change that. Garver will likely be deployed as […]

Jusuf Nurkic Out Again On Monday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (personal) won't play in Monday's game versus the visiting Mavericks. The former Trail Blazer has played well in his first season with the Suns, averaging 12.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. But he'll miss his second game of the season, so his next chance to return will be on […]

Things will start off with the Knicks hosting the Bucks, and wrap up with the Mavericks taking on the Suns. In terms of injuries, we do have some names […]

Mark Williams Still Out On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) remains out for Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets. The 22-year-old has missed his last six games (and seven of his previous eight) because of a low back contusion, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be back on the floor. As a result, Nick Richards will remain in the starting […]

Connor McMichael On Track To Return Saturday

Washington Capitals center Connor McMichael (illness) appears ready to re-enter the lineup on Saturday versus Tampa Bay. Following a bout with an illness, McMichael has returned to practice and is projected to skate on a line with Anthony Mantha and Aliaksei Protas. He was unavailable for the past two games. The 22-year-old has had a […]

Trevor Zegras Available Again On Saturday

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras (lower body) has come off Injured Reserve and is expected to rejoin the action on Saturday against Seattle. Anaheim's starlet is returning from a long absence, having last played on Nov. 7. He'll jump on the top line and the first power-play unit, replacing Leo Carlsson (lower body), who was […]

Andrew Cogliano Back In Avalanche Lineup Saturday

Colorado Avalanche center Andrew Cogliano (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup Saturday versus Arizona. The veteran returns from a two-game absence. Cogliano provides experience and grit to the Avalanche lineup but has very little value in fantasy hockey. The 36-year-old has amassed only nine points (three goals, six assists) in 27 appearances this season. He will […]

Joel Embiid Misses Practice On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) didn't practice on Saturday. The reigning MVP tweaked his right ankle during Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors, although he still finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks, and two steals. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Christmas versus the Miami Heat. But if Embiid […]

Luke Kornet Remains Out On Saturday

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (adductor) is out again for Saturday's matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old missed his previous five games with a left adductor strain. However, he's averaged just 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds this season, meaning his absence wouldn't have meant much under normal circumstances. But with Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) […]

Francisco Mejia Signs Minor League Deal With The Angels

Francisco Mejia has signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Angels. The deal includes a spring training invite as well. Mejia put up a lackluster .227/.258/.400 batting line with five home runs and 19 RBI over 150 at-bats with Tampa Bay in 2023. He's shown some promise at the dish in years past […]

It's a beautiful Saturday and we have a monster 11-game NBA slate on tap before the Christmas slates get underway. The Magic-Pacers, Spurs-Mavericks, and Grizzlies-Hawks games all profile as top contests to target in daily fantasy, but there are plenty of great spots to pick and choose your plays.

Anton Lundell Expected Back On Saturday

Florida Panthers center Anton Lundell (illness) is expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's Stanley Cup Finals rematch against Vegas. The Finnish forward has been out of action for four games while battling an illness. He's penciled in for third-line duty. Lundell plays an effective game all around the ice and has totaled 12 […]

Ryan McLeod Enjoys Another Multi-Point Outing

Edmonton Oilers center Ryan McLeod put together a second consecutive multi-point outing with a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 road win over the Rangers. He played a big part in a third-period comeback, helping Warren Foegele on the scoreboard and notching the game-winning marker himself. McLeod has suddenly erupted for four points in […]

Cody Zeller Questionable Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans center Cody Zeller (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Houston. He was already unavailable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers with a right ankle sprain and might have to sit out another one. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl did a good job off the bench against Cleveland as the backup big to Jones Valanciunas […]

Zion Williamson In Danger Of Missing Another Game

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (illness) could be out for a second consecutive game Saturday against Houston, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Williamson battled through an illness earlier in the week against Memphis but was out of the lineup Thursday night when the Pelicans visited Cleveland. Trey […]

Mark Williams Doubtful For Another Game

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) continues to hang around on the injury report with a doubtful tag ahead of Saturday's matchup against Denver. A lower back issue has kept him out for six games, and the signs aren't good that he will be able to return on Saturday. Nick Richards should continue to start […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out On Saturday

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) won't play on Saturday afternoon versus the Los Angeles Clippers. He's battled a calf issue for months. However, the veteran tweaked his left ankle in Wednesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings, so now he's dealing with another ailment. At this point, Porzingis may miss more time moving ahead, especially […]

Mika Zibanejad Continues Hot Stretch Friday

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad kept the good times going on Friday, posting a goal and an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Zibanejad's goal was a powerplay marker, but it wasn't his best play of the night. That honor would go to his assist, where he deflected a dump-in behind […]
