New Orleans Pelicans small forward Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a sore left knee.

Cam Reddish Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks small forward Cam Reddish (wrist) will miss his first outing of the season Wednesday against Indiana due to a sprained left wrist. Reddish warmed up earlier in the day in an effort to take the floor, but the Hawks will instead be thin on the wing with Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and De'Andre Hunter […]

Josh Hart Could Sit Out Against Dallas

New Orleans Pelicans forward Josh Hart (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Boston Lists Jaylen Brown As Questionable For Wednesday

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown has been tagged as questionable to participate in Wednesday's contest vs. Philadelphia.

Brown has remained […]

RJ Barrett Will Not Return To Tuesday’s Game

New York Knicks small forward RJ Barrett (illness) will not be available to check back in during Tuesday's contest against Brooklyn due to an illness.

LeBron James Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (abdominal) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It sounds like James will suit up on Tuesday despite dealing with a lingering abdominal issue. Fantasy managers should expect James out there unless something happens pregame.
