The former MVP is coming off a 28-point performance […]

Sixers Not Considering Extended Absence For Joel Embiid

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, the team isn't planning on keeping center Joel Embiid (knee) out beyond what is necessary. The 30-year-old has appeared in only four games this season. However, there hasn't been much update regarding his health, so fantasy managers remain in the dark regarding when they can expect to […]

Kevin Love Available Wednesday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (back) will suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers. Battling back spasms, Love sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Monday versus Boston. Love's contributions have been limited to 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds this season. He only plays around 12 minutes per game, so Love remains […]

Nikola Jovic Returns From Five-Game Absence

Miami Heat forward/center Nikola Jovic (ankle) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's clash against the Lakers. He's missed five games with an ankle sprain and was also ruled out for Wednesday's contest on the initial injury report, but Jovic has apparently made big progress in his recovery over the last 24 hours. The 21-year-old has […]

Justin Kirkland Has Season-Ending Knee Surgery

Calgary Flames center Justin Kirkland underwent successful ACL surgery on Wednesday and will be out for the rest of the season. He sustained the injury last week in a game against Columbus and has been out for two contests. Kirkland finishes the season with eight points (two goals, six assists) in 21 games. Kirkland's absence […]

Leo Carlsson Remains Out On Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (upper body) will miss a fourth straight game on Wednesday versus Vegas. Carlsson has contributed six goals and five assists in 20 games this season. Mason McTavish is set to continue as the first-line center on Wednesday. He's yet to find his feet after returning from an upper-body injury, posting […]

Joel Eriksson Ek Considered Week-To-Week

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He was injured in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against Vancouver. Eriksson Ek's injury leaves the Wild without a second top-six forward following Mats Zuccarello's (lower body) exit from the lineup a while back. Marco Rossi should get extra responsibilities with Eriksson Ek out. He's […]

Tyler Seguin To Miss 4-6 Months Due To Hip Surgery

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin will undergo hip surgery on Thursday, which will rule him out of action for 4-6 months. He's already missed five games this season, and it looks like Seguin won't return to the Stars lineup before the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs start. It's a shame because the veteran star was off […]

Goga Bitadze Considered Questionable For Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's NBA Cup action versus the Knicks and might have to sit out another one with an ankle sprain. Tristan Da Silva jumped into the starting unit on Tuesday. The 23-year-old rookie has seen quite […]

Nick Suzuki Takes Canadiens Past Islanders

Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki recorded a goal and an assist as the team got back to winning ways on Tuesday with a 2-1 overtime victory against the Islanders. The Canadiens captain collected his helper when Patrik Laine marked his team debut with a power-play goal, and Suzuki took care of the second goal himself […]

Joel Embiid Not Expected To Play On Wednesday

According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid (knee, personal) is not expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. At this point, fantasy managers are left scratching their heads regarding his availability. For now, it appears the 30-year-old is in line to miss his 14th game of the 2024-25 […]

Anthony Davis Probable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. Davis, as usual, is expected to play through his foot issues. He's suited up for 20 of 21 games so far this season, averaging 27.8 points and 11.5 rebounds. However, he has failed to reach the 20-point mark in […]

Dereck Lively II Cleared To Meet The Grizzlies

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) will play on Tuesday night versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The 20-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 7.1 assists, and 1.6 blocks during the 2024-25 campaign, so he hasn't been the most consistent source of production for fantasy managers. But his presence should lower the fantasy potential of Daniel Gafford, […]

Micah Potter Likely Unavailable Versus Thunder

Utah Jazz forward/center Micah Potter (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Thunder. The Jazz have been shorthanded lately, so Potter has played for at least 13 minutes in three consecutive contests. With the 26-year-old likely sidelined, players like Drew Eubanks, Brice Sensabaugh, and Svi Mykhailiuk could potentially see more playing time. […]

Mark Williams To Make Season Debut On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (foot) will make his season debut against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. This will be the first time that Williams has played since December of 2023. Fantasy managers should expect Williams to be under heavy minute restriction. He figures to be eased into action for quite some time, so fantasy […]

Trevor Lewis Ruled Out For 4-6 Weeks

Los Angeles Kings center Trevor Lewis (lower body) will be out of commission for 4-6 weeks. The veteran forward suffered a lower-body injury at the weekend against Ottawa. Lewis has contributed three goals and four assists in limited minutes across 25 appearances. He sits third on the team with 46 hits. Andre Lee has been […]

Miami Heat Rule Out Nikola Jovic for Wednesday

Miami Heat have ruled out forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) and center Kel'el Ware (G-League assignment) for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Key players Jimmy Butler (knee), Kevin Love (back), and Josh Richardson (illness) are all listed as questionable, adding uncertainty to Miami's rotation. Jovic, who averages 7.7 points per game, will be a […]

Chandler Stephenson Returns To Action Tuesday

Seattle Kraken center Chandler Stephenson (illness) will be back in the lineup on Tuesday against Carolina. He missed Saturday's 4-2 loss to San Jose due to an illness. Stephenson is among the Kraken's top scorers with 16 points (two goals, 14 assists) in 24 games. He will center the second line, flanked by Jared McCann […]

Zach Edey Out For Eighth Straight Game

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against Dallas, marking an eighth consecutive absence for him. The rookie giant is recovering from a left ankle sprain. Brandon Clarke will likely receive another start on Tuesday. It's a good matchup for him, as the Mavericks have struggled to stop big […]

Group Play in the NBA Emirates Cup wraps up on Tuesday with a massive 11-game slate for DFS fantasy basketball on FanDuel.

Nick Schmaltz Nets Lone Utah Goal In Monday's Defeat

Utah Hockey Club forward Nick Schmaltz was the team's lone scorer in Monday's 2-1 loss to Dallas.
