Clint Capela Tagged As Questionable Against Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so fantasy managers don't need to worry. Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) is listed probable and could make his first appearance of the season on Friday. Although, it's unlikely that he'd jump […]

Connor McDavid Ends Scoring Slump With Two Assists

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid recorded two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets, ending a two-game pointless streak, which can be counted as a scoring slump by his standards.

Dylan Larkin Gets A Goal And An Assist Thursday Night

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Carolina, adding two shots and three hits to his tally in 22:30 of ice time. Lucas Raymond tallied two assists and Tyler Bertuzzi scored his 10th goal of the season, so the Red Wings top line had a […]

Bobby Portis Has Entered NBA's COVID-19 Protocols

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis has entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will likely be out for a 10-day period.

Jake Evans Returns On Nick Suzuki's Wing

Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans (undisclosed) will be back in action on Thursday against Philadelphia, skating on Nick Suzuki's right wing. He returns after sitting out two matchups.

Christian Wood Out Thursday, Could Return Saturday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) will not play Thursday against the New York Knicks, but is expected to return Saturday against the Detroit Pistons.

Andre Burakovsky, J.T. Compher In COVID-19 Protocols

Colorado Avalanche forwards Andre Burakovsky and J.T. Compher were added to the COVID-19 list on Thursday, meaning they are unavailable for a clash with the Predators. Burakovsky has been filling in for Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) on the top line lately, while Compher's absence leaves a spot open on the second line. It seems like […]

Mo Bamba Questionable Against Miami

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (ankle) is questionable Friday against the Miami Heat. Bamba has already missed one game with a sprained ankle and is in jeopardy of missing his second straight on Friday.

Charlie Coyle Takes Over As First-Line Center

Boston Bruins forward Charlie Coyle is set to be the first-line center in Thursday's matchup against the Islanders.

Anthony Cirelli Set For First-Line Duty On Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Anthony Cirelli looks set to join the first line for Thursday's matchup against Ottawa. He's been skating with Ondrej Palat and Steven Stamkos at practice.

Christian Wood Upgraded To Questionable

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic coasted to another triple-double in Wednesday's loss to Minnesota, notching 27 points with 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis took his double-double streak to eight games on Wednesday, completing a 114-99 loss to Milwaukee with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
