Enes Kanter Grabs 21 Rebounds

Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter finished with eight points, 21 rebounds, and one assist in 33 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Thunder. Kanter has been filling in well recently due to Portland's other centers being injured. The 28-year-old has secured double-digit rebounds in 11 of the last 12 games while also getting a […]

Kevon Looney Out Again On Wednesday Evening

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kevon Looney (ankle) won't suit up against the Heat on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old has missed his previous seven contests while dealing with a sprain. With James Wiseman (wrist) also out against Miami, Draymond Green should continue to get a bump in minutes at the center position, with Juan Toscano-Anderson, who […]

James Wiseman To Miss Another Game On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will not play on Wednesday against the Heat. The rookie will miss his ninth-straight outing as he continues to deal with the pain associated with his sprained wrist. While there were rumors that he was ready to make his return as early as last week, the team will […]

Tristan Thompson To Start Against Nuggets

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson will start Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets with Daniel Theis (finger) sidelined. Thompson was the expected fill-in starter and will be a good stream option for fantasy managers in need of rebounds while Theis remains out. Robert Williams III should also see some run off the bench and offers […]

Joel Embiid Probable To Play Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as probable Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Embiid was available play Monday night, but then was a last-minute scratch as he continues to deal with back tightness. Embiid seems to have needed the rest day and will likely give it a go on Wednesday. Embiid's return will […]

P.J. Tucker Questionable Against 76ers

Houston Rockets forward/center P.J. Tucker (quad) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Tucker missed Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards which led way for Danuel House Jr. to start.

Mitchell Robinson To Be Re-Evaluated After All-Star Break

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hand) underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a fracture in his right hand and will be out at least through the All-Star break. Robinson's original timeline was roughly four-to-six weeks so this seems a little optimistic given the nature of surgery and the fact this is Robinson's shooting hand. […]

Daniel Theis Won't Suit Up Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is dealing with a sprained right index finger, but it doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline him for an extended period. Tristan Thompson and Robert Williams will split up the center minutes for Tuesday's […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Remains Somewhat Limited

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. is reportedly going to be kept around 20 minutes per game, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He doesn't have a strict minutes limit on Carter, but wants to be cautious with the young big man. Last game, Carter finished with 11 points and nine rebounds through 21 minutes […]

Jeff Mathis Agrees To Minor League Contract With Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies and catcher Jeff Mathis have agreed to a minor league contract worth $1.8 million if he makes the Major League club.

Yankees Sign Robinson Chirinos

Free-agent catcher Robinson Chirinos signed a minor-league contract with the New York Yankees on Monday, adding some uncertainty to the team's catching situation. Starting pitcher Gerrit Cole pitched well with Chirinos behind the plate when the two were teammates in 2019 with the Astros, and there's some speculation that Cole and Chirinos might be paired […]

Bam Adebayo Records Double-Double With Full Line

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was excellent despite his team's loss to the Clippers on Monday night. Adebayo scored 27 points with 12 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks, and a steal in 36 minutes. He shot 12 of 15 from the field, his second-highest field-goal percentage in a game this season. The 23-year-old is averaging […]

Jarrett Allen Records Double-Double With Two Blocks

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen had a productive outing despite his team's blowout loss to the Warriors. Allen scored 13 points with 14 rebounds, two blocks, a steal, and an assist in 29 minutes. The 22-year-old has been the lead dog at the five-spot for the last two games, as the Cavaliers are reportedly sitting […]

Vladislav Namestnikov Nets Fourth Goal Of The Season

Detroit Red Wings forward Vladislav Namestnikov found the net for the fourth time this season in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Chicago. The Red Wings battled back from a two-goal deficit, with Christian Djoos also scoring, but took their 13th loss of the year in the end. Detroit has improved following a horrible start and […]

Steven Stamkos Returns With Eighth Goal Of The Year

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos was back in the mix for Monday's clash with the Panthers, scoring his eighth goal of the season in a 6-4 loss. The Lightning captain missed two games due to a lower-body injury and COVID-related issues. Stamkos led all Tampa forwards with 20:50 of ice time, but he was […]

Aleksander Barkov Adds Pair Of Points To His Tally

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov recorded his fifth multi-point outing of the year in Monday's 6-4 victory over Tampa, scoring the team's fifth goal and notching a helper on an Anthony Duclair marker. The Panthers showed off their depth in the contest by having six different goal-scorers. Barkov got on the board for the first […]

Hassan Whiteside Double-Doubles With 26 Points And 16 Boards

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside had his best statistical game of the year by a long shot on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
