Giants Showing Interest In Gary Sanchez
The New York Post's Jon Heyman reported Tuesday that the San Francisco Giants are showing interest in free-agent catcher Gary Sanchez. The 30-year-old had another disappointing season at the plate with the Minnesota Twins, slashing .205/.282/.377 with 16 home runs and 61 RBI in 471 plate appearances in 2022. If he did join the Giants, […]
Jarrett Allen Questionable To Return With Illness
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) is questionable to return Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. Allen lasted just under seven minutes before leaving the game as he is reportedly feeling under the weather. If Allen is unable to go, he will finish with one assist and nothing else on the box score. Kevin Love should […]
Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Warriors
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. Ayton will sit Tuesday with an ankle sprain as he continues to have ankle issues throughout the season. Jock Landale will get the spot start over Bismack Biyombo. Landale should be a decent streaming and DFS option while Ayton is […]
Jusuf Nurkic To Suit Up On Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. As expected, Nurkic will suit up despite him dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect his production to take a hit as he has been playing well lately. He should play his normal role, which means […]
Isaiah Stewart A Late Scratch Tuesday
Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Stewart was not listed on the injury report, but was ruled out before tip-off with shoulder soreness. With Jalen Duren (back) and Marvin Bagley III (hand) also out, Nerlens Noel will get the spot start and most likely see hefty […]
Joel Embiid Starting Tuesday Against Detroit
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will play and start against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. Embiid was questionable to play with foot soreness but will play through the discomfort, ending a three-game absence. If Embiid is limited in any way, Montrezl Harrell and P.J. Tucker would likely pick up the slack.
Denis Malgin Considered Week-To-Week
Colorado Avalanche forward Denis Malgin (upper body) will sit out a second consecutive game Tuesday against Florida and is considered week-to-week. He got hurt last week in a game against Vancouver and it looks like it might take a while until Malgin is game-ready again. Luckily for the Avalanche, the team's other injuries have started […]
Kelly Olynyk Sidelined With Ankle Issue On Tuesday Night
Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is listed as out against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. The 31-year-old was able to play almost 30 minutes in the team's last contest but picked up an ankle sprain in the process. Walker Kessler, if not rostered already, would be the top streaming option out of this […]
Roope Hintz Misses Tuesday's Game
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) hasn't traveled to New York for Tuesday's clash with the Islanders. He suffered an upper-body injury at the weekend against Florida and it's currently unknown when Hintz will be ready to return to the lineup. Dallas head coach Pete DeBoer has said that he believes that Hintz isn't […]
Bam Adebayo Will Sit Out Of Tuesday's Contest
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (wrist) was originally listed as questionable but has since been downgraded to out against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. The All-Star big man originally didn't think his injury was too serious but the wrist contusion will force him to sit at least one game. With that being said, Orlando […]
Connor McDavid Hits His 34th Goal Of The Season
Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid scored his 34th goal of the season in Monday's 6-3 loss in L.A. He had an unassisted goal in the middle of the third frame, providing the team's final tally.

Deandre Ayton Questionable With Ankle Sprain Tuesday

Jalen Duren Will Sit On Tuesday
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will not play Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Duren will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury and will have a quick turnaround as the Pistons play a back-to-back starting Tuesday. With Duren out, Saddiq Bey should continue to start while Isaiah Stewart should see the […]
Joel Embiid Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed each of the last three games due to left foot soreness. In his absence, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed have picked up additional playing time. Both players have been doing well, but Harrell is […]
Jakob Poeltl Available On Monday
San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man returns after his one-game absence due to an Achilles issue. His return means Zach Collins heads to the bench, so he won't have much streaming appeal with the second unit. It doesn't sound like the team […]
Anthony Davis To Begin Ramping Up Activities
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is set to begin ramping up activities this week. The 29-year-old is recovering after suffering a fractured bone spur and a stress reaction in his navicular bone. He has been sidelined since mid-December. The hope is that Davis can get back on the floor within the next few […]
Steven Adams Tagged As Questionable For Monday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The big man is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a non-COVID related illness.
