Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie (lower body) won't be in the lineup Monday against Carolina, and he has been ruled out indefinitely.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Walker Kessler Questionable On Monday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The rookie big man has missed two games with a non-COVID related illness. It has been tough for Kessler to make a significant impact with Jarred Vanderbilt and Kelly Olynyk starting right now. Fantasy managers should be patient […]

Joel Embiid Misses Shootaround

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) did not attend shootaround on Monday. That being said, the superstar big man should be considered questionable for Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It sounds like Embiid is dealing with an illness, so the team is likely going to wait until closer to game time before making a […]

Jalen Duren Won't Travel With Team

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 18-year-old is dealing with a sprained left ankle that he suffered during Sunday's game. The severity of the injury is unknown, but the Pistons are likely going to be extremely cautious here. Fantasy managers should continue […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3: Bol Bol, Max Strus, Jaylen Nowell

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Jack Eichel Scores Game-Winning Goal In Overtime

Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel finished with a goal and an assist in Sunday's 2-1 victory against the Jets.

Auston Matthews Scores Goal In Overtime Loss

Matthews opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the first period as he was left wide open through the middle of the lane to give the team an early lead.

The 21-year-old big man put up 24 points and 13 rebounds on 6-for-10 shooting from the floor and 2-for-5 from deep. That also includes a nearly perfect 10-for-11 from the free throw line. He seemed unstoppable in the paint and on […]

Jalen Duren Exits Game Against Golden State

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) landed awkwardly after blocking a shot on Sunday. He appeared to hurt his ankle and needed help returning to the locker room.

Dillon Dingler Leaves Arizona Fall League

Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler (knee) has left the Arizona Fall League. The 24-year-old is dealing with knee soreness, but the good news is that the tests came back negative.

T.J. Oshie Sustains A Lower-Body Injury

Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie was forced to exit Saturday's 3-0 win over Nashville early because of a lower-body injury.
