LeBron James Continues To Earn Questionable Tag Wednesday
If nothing else, the Los Angeles Lakers are consistent. Point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) has once again been listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the 76ers, an injury designation that he has continued to hold onto ever since spraining his ankle early in the year. Having scorched the Cavaliers for 46 points Monday, […]

Indiana Pacers point guard/small forward Caris Levert successfully underwent surgery on his left kidney Tuesday, with the team expecting him to make a full recovery.

Cam Reddish Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) will miss Tuesday's contest versus the Clippers due to persistent Achilles tendon issues.

Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard Headline New Starting Unit
The Los Angeles Clippers had three open spots to fill among their starting five for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Patrick Beverley (knee) all unavailable.

Rodney Hood Might Miss Time
Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (thigh) was held out of Monday's game.

Danuel House Jr. Will Be Eased Into Rotation
Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (back) has finally returned after dealing with some lingering issues.

Cam Reddish Listed As Questionable For Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was previously listed as probable, but possibly the team is going to play it safe during the first game of the back-to-back set.

Dorian Finney-Smith Could Play Versus Jazz
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed nine straight games while he waits to be cleared from the NBA's COVID-19 protocols. It sounds like Finney-Smith is finally ready to get back on the court. He was surprisingly a decent fantasy option while Kristaps Porzingis […]
Gordon Hayward Continues Scoring Surge
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward posted a 24-point performance in Monday's loss to Orlando with 60 percent shooting from deep and a 9-for-16 overall effort from the field.

Danuel House Jr. Plans To Return For Tuesday’s Game
Houston Rockets small forward Danuel House Jr. is on track to make his return to action for Tuesday's contest versus the Wizards after a prolonged absence under the league's health and safety protocols. House comes back to a much different team than the one that he suited up alongside in his last game back on […]
James Ennis Picks Up Questionable Tag For Monday
Orlando Magic small forward James Ennis (hamstring, quadriceps) has been tagged as questionable to play in Monday's contest versus Charlotte. Ennis' start to the season was hampered by leg injuries, but he has since reclaimed his gig within the starting five, even as he has yet to compile a double-digit scoring performance. As was the […]

Jayson Tatum Out Sunday, Expected To Play On Monday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he is expected to play on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Tatum has not played since January 8th, but barring any setbacks, he will make his return from quarantine on Monday. Tatum will likely see some sort of minutes restriction […]
Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Sunday
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back/hip) will not play Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya has been unable to find consistent minutes in the rotation this season.

De'Andre Hunter Removed From Injury Report
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been taken off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as questionable heading into this one with right knee soreness. It doesn't sound like he'll be limited, but Cam Reddish would see increased time if Hunter is restricted. Fantasy managers should […]
Jae Crowder With Strong Showing In Loss
Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder tied the team lead for scoring in Saturday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 21 points on 6-for-15 shooting.

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum will continue his absence under the league's health and safety protocols for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers.
