Brandon Ingram Expected to Rejoin Starting Five
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (suspension) is expected to rejoin the starting five in Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ingram was suspended the last four games, but should rejoin the starting five going forward. That means Kyle Kuzma or Josh Hart will be headed to the second unit. More information should be known […]
Andre Iguodala is Probable for Monday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (calf) is probable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Iggy has been banged up all season and it's the second game of a back-to-back set. The Warriors are usually cautious with their players, so if Iggy does play he'll probably be limited. He's only an option in deeper […]
Dillon Brooks is Probable for Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Brooks has only missed one game this season, but continues dealing with a sore right foot. However, Kyle Anderson is ahead of him in the rotation, so Brooks doesn't have much fantasy value off the bench.
Wilson Chandler Remains Out on Monday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) will miss Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, but he could return soon. Head coach Brett Brown said that Chandler isn't "that far away" from returning to the court. However, Chandler likely isn't going to have enough playing time to be relevant in fantasy leagues.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Out On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (head) has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol and will miss Monday's contest against the Toronto Raptors.

Kawhi Leonard Out On Monday Against Bucks
Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not partake in Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Leonard has now […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Cannot Seize Opportunity

Harrison Barnes Struggles In Second Game Back

Luka Doncic Struggles But Still Produces
Dallas Mavericks small forward Luka Doncic had an inefficient outing Sunday against the Utah Jazz. Doncic scored 14 points on five of thirteen shooting with two of those made shots coming from downtown. Also in the contest, Doncic had six boards and five assists.

Chicago Bulls small forward Justin Holiday once again saw a team-high 36 minutes in the Bulls win over the Hawks on Saturday.
