Roope Hintz Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will not be available for Wednesday's matchup against Chicago. He is reportedly dealing with a "tweak." Dallas' first-line center has amassed 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 20 outings this season. Colin Blackwell comes into the lineup to replace Hintz, but we will likely see somebody else fill […]

Mikael Granlund Remains Sidelined Wednesday

San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) will sit out a second straight game on Wednesday versus Ottawa. San Jose's leading scorer missed his first game of the season Monday night against Los Angeles and continues to rehab an upper-body injury. With Granlund on the shelf, Macklin Celebrini produced his first career three-point outing […]

William Karlsson Back In Action Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson (personal) will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against Colorado. He was unavailable for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia due to a personal issue. An undisclosed injury delayed Karlsson's season debut, limiting him to 13 appearances in 2024-25. He's posted four goals and 10 points. Considering his situation, Karlsson has done […]

Auston Matthews Remains Out On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Florida. Matthews returned to full practice on Tuesday, and there was a chance he might be ready to re-enter the lineup. However, he will end up sitting out one more game. It's likely Matthews will be back in […]

Nicolas Claxton Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup With Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets, center Nicolas Claxton (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Claxton has been a regular on the Nets' injury report this season due to a lower back strain and soreness. The 25-year-old is in danger of missing his seventh straight game. However, if he suits up, his playing time will […]

Unfortunately, he suffered a concussion after logging only 12 minutes. Ayton has a chance to return on Wednesday, so […]

Deandre Ayton Questionable For Wednesday Night

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Indiana. He has missed the last seven games because of a right index finger contusion. But with Robert Williams III (concussion) and Donovan Clingan (knee) both out, the team could certainly use Ayton back on the floor. With that in mind, if […]

Dereck Lively II Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks after exiting the team's most recent contest early due to illness. The 20-year-old has been a solid contributor this season, averaging 8.7 points and 7.0 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game. If Lively is unable to […]

Auston Matthews Could Be Ready For Action On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) might return to the lineup on Wednesday against Florida.

Cole Sillinger Ruled Out For Wednesday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger (upper body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Montreal. He will miss his first game of the season due to an upper-body injury.

Tage Thompson Set To Return On Wednesday

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson (lower body) has announced that he's ready to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against Minnesota. He has missed five games with a lower-body issue.

Joel Embiid Won't Play Wednesday

According to NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Embiid missed Tuesday's practice after missing two consecutive contests. The 76ers continue to be cautious with Embiid's left knee. He has played in just four games this season, and his next chance to suit […]

Kyle Filipowski Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio. He sprained his right ankle last week against the Spurs, and it's unclear when Utah will have Filipowski in the lineup again. Drew Eubanks benefits from Filipowski's absence but is not a good fantasy asset. John Collins and Walker […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Considered Probable For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is expected to suit up against Miami on Tuesday. Antetokounmpo is battling a calf injury, but the team has listed him as probable on the injury report.

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini put together his first career three-point game in Monday's 7-2 win against Los Angeles. He reached the milestone with a pair of goals and an assist.

Sebastian Aho Racks Up Four Points In Impressive Win

Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho registered his 10th career four-point game as the team got the better of the Dallas Stars 6-4 in a heavyweight battle on Monday.

Nico Hischier Nets Historic Hat Trick Versus Predators

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier lit the lamp three times in Monday's 5-2 victory over Nashville, becoming the first Swiss player in NHL history to post a natural hat trick.

Robert Williams III Won't Return On Monday Night

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (concussion) won't return to Monday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Unfortunately, he logged only 12 minutes on the night before exiting for a concussion evaluation, although he still totaled […]

Nicolas Claxton Officially Ruled Out For Monday Night

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) has been officially ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Claxton has been dealing with lower back soreness all season, an issue that recently caused him to miss three straight games before being able to play in Brooklyn's most recent two games. The 25-year-old has […]

Deandre Ayton Remains Sidelined

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. As expected, Ayton will miss his seventh game in a row after being listed as doubtful ahead of this game. The absence of Ayton should mean that Robert Williams III continues getting increased playing time. Williams […]

Mo Bamba Sits On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers center Mo Bamba (knee) will sit out Monday's meeting with Boston. The Clippers finish off a back-to-back set, and the injury-prone Bamba will be rested for Monday's game. His absence will likely give extra playing opportunities to Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey. The latter is the better fantasy option of the two, […]

Yves Missi Cleared For Action Monday

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Monday against Indiana. A shoulder problem kept Missi out from Friday's 112-108 loss to Golden State, and he was initially considered questionable for Monday's game. After starting each of his previous 11 outings, Missi will come off the bench versus the Pacers. […]

Myles Turner To Play On Monday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (calf) is available ahead of Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Turner has been battling a calf issue, but appears to be feeling good enough to play on Monday. He did sit out last Monday, but has played in three straight games since then.
