Barclay Goodrow Placed On Injured Reserve

San Jose Sharks center Barclay Goodrow (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. He's set to miss his first action of the season after suffering an upper-body injury in Wednesday's game against Ottawa. Goodrow has been a disappointment this season, providing only two goals in 25 games on the offensive end. However, San Jose […]

Brayden Point Records Unique Hat Trick Versus Capitals

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point bagged his fifth career hat trick in very strange circumstances in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Washington.

Nicolas Claxton Out Again On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) remains out for Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. The 25-year-old entered the season burdened by a hamstring issue.

Anthony Davis Good To Go Versus The Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) will play in Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs. AD is coming off another strong performance, accumulating 25 points, 15 boards, five assists, and four blocks in Tuesday's NBA Cup loss to the Suns.

John Collins Ruled Out Versus Denver

Deandre Ayton Returning On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Roope Hintz Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will not be available for Wednesday's matchup against Chicago. He is reportedly dealing with a "tweak."

Colin Blackwell comes into the lineup to replace Hintz, but we will likely see somebody else fill […]

Mikael Granlund Remains Sidelined Wednesday

San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) will sit out a second straight game on Wednesday versus Ottawa.

William Karlsson Back In Action Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson (personal) will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against Colorado. He was unavailable for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia due to a personal issue.

Deandre Ayton Questionable For Wednesday Night

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Indiana. He has missed the last seven games because of a right index finger contusion. But with Robert Williams III (concussion) and Donovan Clingan (knee) both out, the team could certainly use Ayton back on the floor. With that in mind, if […]

Dereck Lively II Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks after exiting the team's most recent contest early due to illness.

Kyle Filipowski Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio. He sprained his right ankle last week against the Spurs, and it's unclear when Utah will have Filipowski in the lineup again. Drew Eubanks benefits from Filipowski's absence but is not a good fantasy asset. John Collins and Walker […]
