Anthony Davis Cleared To Play On Christmas

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's Christmas clash against Golden State. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the juicy matchup. Davis' scoring efforts have been inconsistent this month, but he still fills the stat sheet on a nightly basis, and we should see another big performance from […]

Myles Turner Questionable For Thursday's Game

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (oblique) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Oklahoma City. An oblique strain might end a run of 12 consecutive appearances for Turner. Newly acquired Thomas Bryant looks set for a starting role if Turner can't play on Thursday. Bryant has always done well as a starter, averaging […]

Andre Drummond Sits Out Christmas Action

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will not suit up for the team's Christmas Day matchup against Boston. He has been downgraded from questionable to out ahead of tip-off.

Anthony Davis Questionable For Christmas Day Action

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Golden State. He has sustained a shoulder contusion ahead of Christmas.

Mickey Gasper Traded To Minnesota

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive, the Boston Red Sox have traded catcher Mickey Gasper to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for left-handed pitcher Jovani Moran. Gasper made his major league debut in Boston last summer. Across a small 14-game stint, the backstop went 0-for-18 at the plate with a 4:8 BB:K ratio. Across 48 […]

Andre Drummond May Miss Wednesday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Boston Celtics. The veteran has had a decent season. However, he was more impactful for fantasy managers when he filled in for Joel Embiid (face) this season, averaging 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 14 starts. But with Embiid available, […]

Joel Embiid Available On Christmas Day

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face) is listed as available for Wednesday's Christmas matchup with the Celtics.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Dario Saric (ankle) is active against Phoenix on Monday.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) will remain in the lineup on Monday versus Memphis. He was initially considered iffy for the contest due to a calf strain.

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (back) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Kevin Love Available Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (personal) has been listed for personal reasons on the injury report but is considered available for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
