Isaiah Jackson Remains Out On Monday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (headaches) won't play on Monday against the Hawks. The 20-year-old suffered a concussion over a week ago.

Goga Bitadze (foot) is questionable, so if he doesn't play either, Jalen Smith […]

Goga Bitadze Still Plagued By Foot Soreness

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of the upcoming meeting with Atlanta. The 22-year-old has battled right foot soreness for a while now, and his availability has been hit or miss as a result.

Evgeni Malkin Scores Hat-Trick In Massive Win Over Detroit

In a lopsided affair, Pittsburgh Penguins veteran Evgeni Malkin scored three goals and four points. He now has 16 goals and 32 points in 30 games during an injury-plagued season. Malkin was a game-time decision after he suffered a non-covid related illness. The 35-year-old center remains a good fantasy option. He is currently rostered in […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Should Return On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It appears the veteran big man will make his return to the court here. However, Andre Drummond has been playing well as a starter, so the team will likely keep him there. Although, Nicolas […]

Jonas Valanciunas Could Sit Versus Lakers

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. That means, Jaxson Hayes and Willy Hernangomez should be in for big nights on Sunday. Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is tagged as doubtful, so Hayes and Hernangomez should get heavy minutes. Both players should have strong […]

Daniel Gafford Available On Sunday

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a neck strain, but should be able to get back on the court here.

Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Fischer will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against Winnipeg and is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Alperen Sengun Drops Career-High 27 Points In Victory

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun produced the best offensive night of his young NBA career in Saturday's win over Portland, dropping 27 points off the bench.

JaVale McGee Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns center JaVale McGee (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

On the year, McGee has averaged 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Extends Career-High Point Streak To 12 Games

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov took his career-high point streak to 12 games on Saturday, recording an assist in a 4-3 victory over New Jersey.

Nerlens Noel Won't Play Versus Detroit

Seattle Kraken left wing Jaden Schwartz is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury and his absence will push Ryan Donato to the first line Saturday against L.A.
