Markieff Morris Will Miss Second Straight Outing Monday

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Markieff Morris has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a right hip strain.

Khem Birch Will Be Sidelined For Monday’s Game

Orlando Magic power forward/center Khem Birch has been ruled out for Monday’s contest versus the Charlotte Hornets due to a sore lower back. Birch has started each of Orlando’s last four games and 11 of their last 12, yet has retained very little fantasy value due to his lack of offensive contributions. Wes Iwundu will […]

Tristan Thompson To Miss Monday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson has been ruled out for Monday’s game versus the New York Knicks due to a sore right quad.

Richaun Holmes is Doubtful Against 'Wolves

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Enes Kanter Will Return on Monday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He'll return to the rotation after missing five games in a row.
