Rudy Gobert Won't Return On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He only played five minutes before apparently aggravating his groin injury. The Wolves are going to take the cautious approach and hold Gobert out for the rest of this game. Naz Reid would be worth using as […]

Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert Available On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) and center Rudy Gobert (groin) are available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players have been dealing with lingering injuries, but they appear to be healthy enough to suit up for this game. Edwards continues to play through a hip issue, so he could be limited if […]

Dylan Strome Returns On First Line

Washington Capitals forward Dylan Strome will re-enter the lineup Monday against the Islanders, joining Alex Ovechkin and Conor Sheary on the first line. He's back after sitting out one game as a healthy scratch, and Lars Eller will now be forced to watch things from the press box on Monday. Strome has had a good […]

Clint Capela Available On Monday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) is officially available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man is set to return after a 10-game absence due to a right calf issue. He's expected to be on a minutes limit, so that is going to limit his fantasy value for Monday's game. Onyeka Okongwu […]

Josh Norris Set To Return This Week

Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (shoulder) will sit out another game Monday versus St. Louis, but he is expected to return to the lineup this week. The 22-year-old has skated in just five games this season and has been sitting on the shelf since Oct. 22. He registered a goal and an assist before hurting […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/16/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable To Return On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been listed as probable to make his return on Monday after a two-game absence due to knee soreness. The superstar forward may not have the season he's used to, but he's still been near the top of the MVP race and is an elite fantasy asset. Bobby Portis […]

Myles Turner Remains Questionable For Monday Versus Bucks

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been tagged as questionable again for the Monday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner is still suffering from back spasms that have kept him out of the last three games. Since he's been sidelined, Isaiah Jackson has been the top streaming option with Jalen Smith seeing a […]

Morgan Barron Returns For Winnipeg Sunday

Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron (illness) will be back from a two-game absence Sunday against the Coyotes. He has shaken off a flu bug and will try to score for the third time in four games.

Brayden Point Continues Hot Spell With Three Points

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point maintained his momentum with a three-point effort in Saturday's 4-2 victory in St. Louis. He grabbed a pair of first-period goals and recorded one assist.

Seguin is currently filling in for Roope Hintz (upper […]

Isaiah Stewart Expected To Return Against New York

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Knicks. Detroit has been shorthanded underneath the rim, with Stewart missing the previous three games while Jalen Duren (ankle) has sat out the last four. However, with Duren out again on Sunday, Stewart will likely slide over to the five spot. […]

Jalen Duren Remains Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play against the Knicks. The rookie is currently nursing right ankle soreness, so he'll miss his fifth consecutive outing on Sunday. Fortunately, Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is probable and will likely take Duren's spot at the five. At the same time, Nerlens Noel, who had been starting, would presumably […]

Rudy Gobert Exits Win Over Cavs With Groin Soreness

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) didn't return to Saturday's win over Cleveland because of right groin soreness. He finished the game with only six points, four rebounds, and one steal in 13 minutes of action. It's possible Gobert could miss time, beginning with Monday's matchup against his former team, the Utah Jazz. Karl-Anthony Towns […]

Christian Wood Ruled Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a sprained right ankle on Thursday, so he'll miss at least one game because of the injury. Dwight Powell is likely to move into the starting five with both Maxi Kleber and Wood sidelined on […]
