Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose Will Play Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose (ankle) and guard/forward Jimmy Butler (rest) will both play Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kevin Knox Available To Play Monday
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) will be available to play Monday night against the Chicago Bulls.

Kevin Knox Upgraded To Game-Time Decision Monday
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) is a game-time decision Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. Knox has made a ton of progress over the weekend and after coming into the night with a doubtful designation, he will now be a game-time decision. The Knicks will most likely not play Knox until he is […]
Reggie Bullock Remains Questionable on Monday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Bullock missed Saturday's game, but was able to practice on Sunday. Stanley Johnson and Bruce Brown would continue to gain playing time with Bullock sidelined. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game time.
Kawhi Leonard is Questionable on Monday
Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Leonard suffered a foot injury on Friday and the team continues to play it safe with him. OG Anunoby would draw the start if Leonard sits out, but he doesn't have basically any fantasy value. Hopefully this is just a […]
Jonathan Isaac is Ruled Out on Monday
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Isaac will miss his second game in a row, but is considered day-to-day. Terrence Ross will benefit with Isaac sidelined for this one. Ross is worth a look in DFS contests after his solid game on Sunday.
Andre Iguodala is Resting on Monday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (rest) will not play in Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Warriors don't play again until Thursday, so Iggy will get some time to rest up. Alfonzo McKinnie has been more involved this season and should get more playing time without Iggy in the rotation. He's worth a […]
Jaylen Brown Will Play Through Foot Issue
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (foot) will play through metatarsalgia in his foot and suit up for Monday's contest. This sounds like a minor issue for Brown, but it could be contributing to his slow start. Brown is going to play through the issue, so fantasy owners don't need to worry about him sitting out. […]
Otto Porter Practices on Monday
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (toe) was able to fully practice on Monday. Head coach Scott Brooks is unsure whether or not Porter will be ready to play on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Kelly Oubre Jr. would be in line for another start if Porter is sidelined. Jeff Green would see increased playing time […]
Luka Doncic Expected to Play on Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (ankle) is expected to be fine for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Doncic was not able to practice on Sunday, but did practice on Monday. It sounds like this is a minor issue and that Doncic will be ready for Tuesday.
DeMarre Carroll Returns to Practice
Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (ankle) returned to practice on Monday. Head coach Kenny Atkinson believes Carroll is nearing a return to the court and didn't rule him out for Tuesday's game against the Suns. Carroll is considered day-to-day at the moment, but should be left on the waiver wire in most leagues. It's unclear […]
Kevin Knox is Doubtful on Monday
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was expected to return sometime between November 2-10. Head coach David Fizdale said Knox won't return to the court until he's able to go through full contact practice. It's safe to assume he won't play on Monday, but […]
