Ben Simmons Will Remain Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Simmons will sit out for the third straight game as he recovers from some soreness in his left knee. The Nets don't play again until Saturday so Simmons should have some added rest. Seth Curry and Day'Ron Sharpe should continue to […]

Jimmy Butler Is Available For Tuesday Versus Cleveland

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (quad) is now listed as available on the injury report despite the right quadriceps contusion that he's dealing with. He was able to play north of 32 minutes in each of the last two games, so this contusion doesn't seem too serious at the moment. With Butler still in the […]

LeBron James Expected To Play On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle/foot) is expected to play in the team's second part of their back-to-back against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. The 38-year-old missed Monday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets as he tended to left ankle/foot soreness which seemed to be more of a rest day than anything. Now that […]

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Mikal Bridges was the leading scorer in Monday's 114-106 triumph over Toronto, shooting 12-for-29 from the field and 3-for-4 from outside en route to 29 points. He needed to make just one more attempt from deep to set his new season high. Through 39 minutes of action, Bridges was also able to […]

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija was the team's surprising top scorer in Monday's matchup against San Antonio, contributing a career-high 25 points in a 127-106 win.

Josh Hart Will Play Versus Atlanta

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (hamstring) will return to the court Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. Hart missed a game due to a hamstring injury but was cleared to play Monday and should resume his normal role in the starting lineup. Nassir Little played 29 minutes in a start on Saturday, but will likely […]

Andrew Wiggins Returns To Starting Five

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) will return to the starting five for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 27-year-old returns after missing each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. He'll immediately slide back into the starting five, which means less value for Jonathan Kuminga. The organization […]

Rui Hachimura To Start On Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura will make his first start with his new team on Monday. This doesn't come as a surprise, with LeBron James and Anthony Davis both sidelined due to injury. This will be Hachimura's first start since being acquired from the Washington Wizards last week. The belief is that Hachimura will […]

T.J. Warren To Miss Monday's Game

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join fellow forward Ben Simmons (knee) on the sideline for the second straight game. The Nets will likely use a committee approach to help fill the void left by their two injured forwards. That being said, […]

Ben Simmons To Miss Monday's Contest

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be the second game in a row that Simmons has missed due to left knee soreness. His absence will mean that Seth Curry will remain in the starting five. He finished with 14 points and […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Enjoys His Fifth 50-Point Outing

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was a one-man wrecking crew against the Pelicans on Sunday, shooting 20-for-26 from the floor and 7-for-12 at the foul line en route to 50 points in a 135-110 win. He was 3-for-4 from downtown and reached the 50-point mark for the fifth time in his career. Giannis' career record […]

Cedi Osman Catches Fire Against Clippers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Cedi Osman tied a career high with 29 points and matched a franchise record with perfect 7-for-7 shooting from deep in Sunday's 122-99 blowout win over the Clippers. The game got very one-sided quickly and a lot of the bench players benefited from the situation. Osman shined the brightest by leading all […]

Bennedict Mathurin Paces Indiana With 27 Points

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin led the squad with 27 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Sunday's 112-100 loss to Memphis. Indiana blew a big lead in the second half and the team can't be happy about how things went, but on a personal level, Mathurin should be pretty satisfied with his contribution. The 20-year-old, who […]

Jimmy Butler Stays Hot Against Charlotte

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler had another productive offensive outing with a team-high 28 points in Sunday's loss to Charlotte, missing only three of his 14 shot attempts and going 6-for-7 at the foul line. He also led the team with seven rebounds and had two assists with three steals in 33 minutes. The veteran […]

Andrew Wiggins No Longer On Injury Report

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will be welcomed back with open arms for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. He was forced to miss the last two games with a non-COVID illness but should be back in the starting lineup without any restrictions. Jonathan Kuminga will probably take a hit to […]

Luguentz Dort Will Remain Sidelined On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He's been dealing with a right hamstring strain that kept him out of Friday's game as well. After only missing one game before this injury, it's unfortunate to see Dort have to miss some extended time. […]

Josh Hart's Status Still To Be Determined For Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (hamstring) missed the team's last game on Saturday and his status is now up in the air for Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. He's currently dealing with right hamstring tightness and head coach Chauncey Billups said he "did some stuff," but his status is still to be determined. If […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Will Miss Another Game Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (ribs) will sit out Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Morris will miss his third straight game with a rib contusion after being labeled as questionable. The Clippers are sitting out a bunch of players on Sunday leaving Luke Kennard, Terance Mann and Nicolas Batum in prime position for […]

Paul George Sitting Out Against Cavaliers

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Clippers are also sitting Kawhi Leonard (knee) and a few others in their lengthy injury report after playing in Atlanta on Saturday so George's injury shouldn't be of too much concern. With George and some other key rotation players […]

LeBron James Out Versus The Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward LeBron James (ankle) won't play on Monday in Brooklyn. The veteran is out again because of nagging left ankle soreness, an injury he's dealt with all year. With Anthony Davis (foot) also getting the night off, Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, and Thomas Bryant should see a surge in interest from fantasy managers.

Kawhi Leonard Getting A Day Off On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. The veteran is getting the day off after scoring a game-high 32 points in Saturday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. Paul George (knee) and John Wall (abdomen) are also out, so the Clippers will look for others to step up. As a […]

Jaylen Brown Leads Boston With 37 Points Against Lakers

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown was the team leading scorer in Saturday's classic matchup against the Lakers, shooting 13-for-23 from the field en route to 37 points. He tied the game late in regulation with a three-point play and scored 11 of the team's 20 points in overtime when the C's finally managed to put […]

LeBron James Comes Close To A 40-Point Triple-Double

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James had another huge game on Saturday night in a matchup against Boston, finishing an overtime loss with a game-high 41 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. He made exactly half of his 30 attempts from the field and also shot 50 percent from deep with 12 attempts. LeBron has […]

Kawhi Leonard Leads The Way In Win Over Atlanta

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard did very little wrong against Atlanta on Saturday and led the team to a 120-113 victory with a game-high 32 points. He missed only eight of his 20 attempts from the field and shot 5-for-10 from outside while filling the stat sheet with eight rebounds, four assists, one steal […]

OG Anunoby Dealing With A Sprained Wrist

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (wrist) didn't play in Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

However, the team is still awaiting the results of […]

De'Andre Hunter To Return On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is set to return for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young forward has missed the last two games due to a minor illness. His return will shift Bogdan Bogdanovic to the second unit. The move to the bench shouldn't impact Bogdanovic as he should still serve […]

Jonathan Isaac To Remain Restricted

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. However, the 25-year-old will be limited to 8-10 minutes of playing time. He has been on the same restriction for the last two games. It appears the Magic are going to continue being extremely cautious with Isaac. […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Bruce Brown Good To Go

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) and guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be in the lineup Saturday against the 76ers. The latter has shaken off a questionable tag, while Caldwell-Pope returns to action from a one-game absence. The former Laker has quietly had a very solid season in the Nuggets starting unit, averaging 11.4 points, […]
