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

Joel Embiid Sitting Out On Monday
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.

Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras scored two goals to lead the team to a 4-3 comeback victory in Sunday's contest against the Maple Leafs.

Auston Matthews Scores Goal In Overtime Loss
Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Ducks. 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. Managers across fantasy leagues should not be […]
Nico Hischier Records Two Points In Victory
New Jersey Devils forward Nico Hischier finished with a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-1 victory against the Blue Jackets. Hischier was involved on the opening goal of the game as he recorded an assist after forward Fabian Zetterlund's goal, while the captain gave the Devils a two-goal advantage early in the second period.

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. Over the 15 minutes he played, Duren registered three points, four rebounds, and one block. The Pistons already have two bigs currently injured Marvin Bagley and Nerlens […]
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. He seemed to have pulled something chasing the puck in the offensive zone during only his second shift of the game. The team hasn't yet provided an update on Oshie's status, but it sure looks […]
