Sam Lafferty Sits Again Sunday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Sam Lafferty (upper body) will remain out for Sunday's matchup against Winnipeg. He was hurt Wednesday against Dallas and couldn't play the day after versus Montreal.

St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn got hurt in Saturday's win over Florida and is under evaluation for a lower-body injury.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Ainge fooled everybody this summer. Yes, he traded Rudy Gobert away from a good bunch of youngsters and draft picks.

Kevin Love Remains Out Against The Pistons

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (thumb) won't play on Sunday against Detroit, his third straight absence because of a hairline fracture in his thumb. It's unfortunate for the Cavaliers, especially if Jarrett Allen (back) can't suit up either. Dean Wade may continue to roll with the starting unit. However, he rarely offers much on the […]

Jarrett Allen Uncertain For Sunday's Meeting With Detroit

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (back) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with Detroit. Allen suffered a low back contusion during Friday's game against the Bucks, ending his night after only 12 minutes of work. With Kevin Love (thumb) and Lamar Stevens (illness) out, Dean Wade may make another appearance in the starting lineup. However, Cedi […]

Clint Capela Questionable Against Ailing Heat

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (dental pain) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Heat. The 28-year-old didn't play on Friday against the Houston Rockets, opening the door for Onyeka Okongwu to finish with 11 rebounds, four points, two steals, and two blocks. While Okongwu won't offer much on the scoring end if Capela […]

Drew Eubanks Questionable Against Brooklyn

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks is questionable for Sunday's meeting with Brooklyn. The 25-year-old missed Portland's previous game against the Knicks because of lower back spasms, opening the door for Trendon Watford to score eight points in 21 minutes. If Eubanks isn't cleared for action, Watford would likely fill the void once again. However, […]

Jakob Poeltl Done For The Rest Of Saturday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (quadriceps) won't return to Saturday's meeting with the Lakers after sustaining a right quad contusion. Jeremy Sochan was also ruled out because of the same injury, opening the door for Zach Collins to get involved. However, he was ejected for a flagrant 2 foul on Russell Westbrook. Nonetheless, if […]

Clint Capela Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (mouth) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. The 28-year-old missed Friday's game due to what is being called dental pain. The team will likely wait and see how Capela feels before deciding if he'll play during Sunday's contest. Onyeka Okongwu replaced Capela in the starting […]

Anthony Davis Won't Play Against Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see Davis sitting this one out. He's reportedly dealing with a left calf contusion, but this is probably more of a rest day […]

Alperen Sengun Should Play On Saturday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He didn't suit up on Friday due to a right groin strain. However, it sounds like Sengun will play here, barring a setback during warmups. The Rockets have already ruled out Bruno Fernando (rest) for Saturday's […]

Ryan McLeod Delivers Three Assists Saturday

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan McLeod popped up with three assists in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Rangers. He picked up all of his helpers in the third period when the Oilers turned a three-goal deficit into a tie. The stars then took over, with Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid combining for a game-winning […]

Evan Rodrigues Will Miss 2-4 Weeks

Colorado Avalanche forward Evan Rodrigues (lower body) won't be able to play for two to four weeks, head coach Jared Bednar announced on Saturday. He was injured Wednesday against Vancouver.

Alperen Sengun Upgraded For Meeting With OKC

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (groin) is probable for Saturday's meeting with Oklahoma City. The 20-year-old didn't play on Friday night versus Atlanta because of a groin issue, allowing Bruno Fernando to get the start and finish with seven points, three rebounds, and one block. The Rockets will certainly be happy to get Sengun back […]

Bruno Fernando Out On Saturday

Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando (knee) is out on Saturday versus OKC for maintenance purposes. The 24-year-old played on Friday night against Atlanta for the first time in over a month after being sidelined with a knee injury. Alperen Sengun (groin) didn't suit up for that one, so Fernando got the start and finished with […]

Aleksander Barkov Will Be A Game Time Saturday Due To Illness

Florida Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov will be a game-time decision (illness) Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. Barkov is coming off a three-point game on November 21st in a Florida win against Boston. The Panther's first-line centerman is averaging almost a point a game with five goals and 13 assists in 19 games. Not having […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Versus San Antonio

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is questionable for Saturday's rematch against the Spurs. With LeBron James (adductor) returning on Friday following a five-game layoff, it's possible Davis gets the night off to finally get some rest. That said, if A.D. isn't available, Wenyen Gabriel may replace him in the lineup. Gabriel has averaged […]
