Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Feature Against Kings

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against Sacramento. He hasn't missed any games since 2025 arrived and is not expected to sit out on Tuesday, either. Antetokounmpo struggled in the last game against the Knicks but still came through a blowout loss with 24 points and 13 rebounds. A meeting […]

Jay Huff Active Versus Rockets

Memphis Grizzlies center Jay Huff (knee) will be active on Monday against Houston. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Huff has impressed at times this season, but he currently lacks fantasy value, as the Grizzlies have all their big guys healthy. The 27-year-old will only see backup minutes on Monday and likely will […]

Nikola Jokic Probable For Tuesday Evening

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas. The multi-time MVP has been under the weather, keeping him off the floor for recent meetings with the Celtics and Clippers. However, he's appeared in Denver's previous two contests, combining for 54 points, 30 rebounds, 24 assists, and seven steals, so it […]

Mitchell Robinson Remains On Track

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains on track to return to practice this month after an extended recovery from surgery, according to coach Tom Thibodeau as reported by Stefan Bondy of the New York Post. Robinson has yet to begin running full speed, but the expectation is that he'll be back to full […]

Jericho Sims Ruled Out For Monday

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (back) will not play on Monday against Detroit. He was a late addition to the injury report and has been ruled out due to back spasms. Sims is way down in the pecking order at center, so his absence will not impact the Knicks, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns healthy […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) won't play on Tuesday night versus OKC. The veteran is averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds this season, a significant decline from the 2023-24 campaign. Even worse, he's only appeared in 13 games. At this point, fantasy managers are starting to lose hope about his long-term ability to remain […]

Vladislav Namestnikov Not Ready To Return On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body) will remain out on Tuesday against Vancouver. A lower-body injury will keep him sidelined for a second straight game. Namestnikov skated before Monday's practice, so he might be ready to rejoin the action later in the week. Winnipeg hasn't gotten much offensive production out of Namestnikov recently, but […]

Alexander Wennberg Expected To Return To Action On Tuesday

San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday against Detroit. Wennberg missed Saturday's matchup against Minnesota due to an illness, but Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky said on Monday that Wennberg will travel to the game and should play in Tuesday's contest. Wennberg has slightly increased […]

Bam Adebayo Downgraded To Questionable On Monday

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers due to a lower back contusion. Chiang also reported that Adebayo plans on participating in warm ups with the intent to play. However, with the big man being added late to the injury […]

Rory Kerins Set For NHL Debut On Monday

Calgary Flames forward Rory Kerins will make his NHL debut in Monday's matchup against Chicago.

Kerins has produced a league-high 21 goals in the AHL and is ranked fourth in overall scoring with 34 points […]

Craig Smith Remains Out On Monday

Chicago Blackhawks center Craig Smith (back) will not be available against Calgary on Monday. The 35-year-old is battling a back injury, which will keep him out of the lineup for a third consecutive contest. Playing in a bottom-six role, Smith has recorded six goals and 11 assists in 30 appearances this season. The best days […]

Anthony Davis Listed As Probable Against Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) remains on the injury report with plantar fasciitis but has been listed as probable for the team's first game in nearly a week. They've had their last few games postponed due to the wildfires in California, and it looks like they'll resume play in their home arena on […]

Bam Adebayo Available Monday Against Clippers

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) appeared on Monday's injury report with a lower back contusion but is considered available for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The star center hasn't missed a game yet this season, so it seems to be more of a formality to list the nagging injury. Through 37 games […]

Jay Huff Considered Probable Against Houston

Memphis Grizzlies center Jay Huff (knee) is dealing with some knee soreness but has been listed as probable for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. After bouncing around the G League and the NBA for his first three seasons, Huff has caught on to a solid backup role in Memphis. The big man averages 8.8 […]

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an ankle sprain.

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (rest) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. Following a 31-minute outing against Phoenix on Saturday, the Jazz are resting the seven-foot giant. John Collins (hip) also remains out of the lineup, and several other frontcourt pieces are questionable for the contest. This could lead to Drew […]

John Collins Out Again On Sunday Night

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (hip) remains out on Sunday versus the Nets. The 27-year-old has played in only one of Utah's previous 10 games. But he's listed as out due to injury management purposes, so it appears he's nearing a return. Fantasy managers have enjoyed Collins' production this season, with the veteran averaging 17.9 […]
