Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is considered probable for Wednesday's matchup against Charlotte.

Fred Vanvleet To Miss Some Time

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's being reported that Vanvleet could be sidelined for roughly a week due to this issue.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash with Houston.

Coby White Expected To Play On Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is considered probable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Nets Listening To Offers For Spencer Dinwiddie

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie has fallen out of any future plans with the team it seems as Adrian Wojnarowski reports that they're listening to offers for him, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Royce O'Neale.

Damian Lillard Questionable For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard was also tagged as questionable before Sunday's game.

Luka Doncic Questionable For Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Doncic's ankle has given him trouble over the last week or more, so his presence on the injury report is something fantasy managers are used to by this point. It would be a tough break for managers if he can't […]

Kyrie Irving Likely To Return On Monday Evening

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is expected to play on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The former Net is listed as probable after missing his previous six games because of a right thumb sprain. Irving continues to be a productive fantasy asset.

The 22-year-old has carried injury designations since returning from an eight-game absence caused by a knee issue.
