Robert Covington Effective Against Kings

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock ended up as a surprising leading scorer for the team in Monday's loss to Milwaukee, shooting 9-for-14 from the field on his way to 24 points.

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (finger) was back on the floor in Monday's matchup with the Pistons and he looked fine, scoring 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting with six assists.

Juan Hernangomez Questionable For Tuesday
Denver Nuggets small/power forward Juan Hernangomez is listed as questionable to suit up for Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks due to an abdominal strain. The injury slowed Hernangomez in his most recent outing Sunday against Toronto, limiting him to just two points. Denver’s roster has been besieged by injuries over the last handful of […]
Otto Porter Out At Least Another Week
It appears that Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter will be on the shelf until at least Christmas after an MRI revealed a grade 2 strain of his right Vastus medialis. Porter has missed the last three games for Washington, and is set to miss at least four more. Reinforcements are on the way, as […]
Damyean Dotson To Miss Third Straight Contest
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Damyean Dotson has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Phoenix Suns due to a sore right shoulder.

Iman Shumpert Ruled Out on Monday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (personal) has been ruled out against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. He sat out on Sunday due to a left hip contusion. Yogi Ferrell should see some more playing time without Shumpert in the rotation. Ferrell could be a cheap DFS option on Monday, assuming he's given more playing time.
Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out Monday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan IIyasova (nose) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's unclear where this injury came from, but it appears IIyasova is dealing with a nose contusion. He wasn't much of an option in fantasy leagues anyway. Thon Maker should see a few extra minutes, but not enough […]
Kyle Anderson is Probable on Monday
Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was listed as questionable after sitting out of Saturday's game. It appears Anderson has been upgraded, so there is a good chance that he plays in this one. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time, but […]
Andre Iguodala is Probable on Monday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (hip) is probable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Iggy has missed the last three games due to a hip issue.

Rodions Kurucs Will Stay in the Rotation
Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs will remain in the rotation when Allen Crabbe (knee) returns, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson. Kurucs has averaged 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 threes over the last two games. Kurucs has seen an increase in playing time with Crabbe sidelined over the last few games. He's someone […]
Khris Middleton is Probable for Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (hand) is probable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Middleton missed Friday's game due to a right pinkie issue, but should be good to go on Monday. Maybe the pinkie injury is why Middleton has struggled over the last few weeks. Hopefully he'll be able to get back on […]
Kelly Oubre, Austin Rivers Out Until Wednesday
Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre and guard Austin Rivers will not make their team debut with the Suns on Monday. The trade is official, but neither player will play in Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The Suns are loaded at the wings, so it'll be interesting to see what they decide to do […]

LeBron James Posts Season-Low 13 Points In Loss
Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James finished with a season-low 13 points during Sunday’s loss to the Washington Wizards.

Kawhi Leonard Scores 29 Points With 14 Rebounds
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard recorded 13 of his 29 points in the third quarter, but his club could not pick up the win on Sunday when they lost to the Denver Nuggets.

Dwyane Wade Scores 19 Points To Help Secure Sunday's Win
Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Dwyane Wade recorded 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting and added six rebounds with two assists to help propel his club to Sunday's victory.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Kyle Anderson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain. The 25-year-old suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Heat and then did not play against the Rockets on Saturday. Shelvin Mack made his first start of the season […]
Delon Wright And C.J. Miles Are In Starting Lineup
Toronto Raptors point guard/shooting guard Delon Wright and small forward/power forward C.J. Miles will be in the starting lineup versus the Nuggets on Sunday night. The Raptors are a little shorthanded for the contest with Kyle Lowry (thigh), Fred Vanvleet (back), Jonas Valanciunas (thumb) and Pascal Siakam (back) unavailable. Lowry, VanVleet, and Siakam are all […]
Brandon Ingram Could Return Friday As Well
Los Angeles Lakers small forward/shooting guard Brandon Ingram (ankle) could join Rajon Rondo (hand) back in the lineup against the Pelicans on Friday, according to coach Luke Walton. However, there is no guarantee that either player will be cleared for game action by then. Ingram has already missed six games, including Sunday's night contest against […]
Kent Bazemore Scores 20 Points In Sunday's Loss
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore couldn't save the team from another loss on Sunday against the Nets, but he personally had a good game with 20 points and seven assists.
