JaVale McGee Expected to Start on Saturday

Golden State Warriors center JaVale McGee is expected to draw the start against the San Antonio Spurs for Game 1 on Saturday. However, DFS players should not get too excited about this decision. McGee rarely sees minutes in the 20s and usually does not play more than 12-15 minutes per game. He's been a decent […]

Mike Scott is Questionable for Game 1

Washington Wizards power forward Mike Scott (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Scott took a hit to the head during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's contest. He must pass the NBA's concussion protocol before being cleared to play. Jason Smith and Kelly Oubre would see increased playing time if Scott is […]

Maurice Harkless Ruled Out on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Maurice Harkless (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Harkless underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and was given a three-week timetable back on March 27. There is a chance that Harkless does return before the end of this playoff series. He was playing really well […]

Otto Porter Jr. is Questionable on Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter Jr. (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Porter went through "some of practice" on Friday, but remains questionable for Game 1 on Saturday. He sat out of Wednesday's regular season finale after suffering a calf strain during Tuesday's contest with Boston. Kelly Oubre would draw the […]

Nick Young and Quinn Cook Looking At Bigger Roles

Golden State Warriors guards Nick Young and Quinn Cook could play a big part in the Warriors rotation this postseason. Both Stephen Curry (knee) and Patrick McCaw (back) are expected to miss the first round of the playoffs. That means the minutes are going to fall onto guys like Young and Cook. During the regular […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Looking At Expanded Role

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is expected to see an expanded role in Washington's rotation. Jodie Meeks (suspension) is obviously not going to play, so Oubre is likely going to be the next man up. During most games this season Oubre sees minutes in the high 20s, but could slide into a 30 minute […]

Fred VanVleet is Questionable on Saturday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. VanVleet has been sore since Wednesday's contest, but is expected to fight through the pain. He did not sit out during the regular season finale on Wednesday, so it'd be surprising to see VanVleet sit out of a playoff […]

Goran Dragic Expected to Play in Game 1

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He sat out of Wednesday's regular season finale, but appears to be ready for Game 1 on Saturday. Dragic said that he is going to feel a little discomfort, but he's going to play through the pain. Dragic […]

Al Horford, Terry Rozier Out on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (rest) and forward/center Al Horford (rest) will not play against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it is not surprising to see the Celtics rest their starters. Shane Larkin is expected to draw the start, while Kadeem Allen will back him up. […]

Dario Saric is Probable Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Dario Saric (mouth) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Saric cut his lip and chipped a tooth in Tuesday's victory over the Atlanta Hawks. He collided with John Collins and did not return to the game. It appears Saric will be ready for an important game with Milwaukee. Owners […]

Blake Griffin Won't Play on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Blake Griffin (ankle) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Griffin has missed the last eight games at the end of the season, including Wednesday. The Pistons have zero incentive to play Griffin in a meaningless game and risk a setback. Both Griffin and Andre Drummond (Achilles) will […]

Fred VanVleet is Questionable Against Heat

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He tweaked his back in Sunday's victory over the Magic. He was ruled out of Monday's game versus the Spurs, and this game is basically meaningless for the Heat. Delon Wright would serve as Kyle Lowry's main backup, assuming […]

Goran Dragic is Doubtful on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said the team is going to be smart in dealing with Dragic's soreness in his knee. It's the regular season finale and the Heat have already locked down a playoff spot, so expect Dragic to rest. […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Ruled Out on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Dinwiddie will join teammates DeMarre Carroll (hip) and Joe Harris (ankle) on the sidelines in Boston on Wednesday. Caris LeVert and Nik Stauskas should benefit the most from these players being sidelined. Stauskas could be tough to […]

Courtney Lee is Questionable on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Courtney Lee (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the regular season finale, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sidelined along with teammates Enes Kanter (wrist, back) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) on Wednesday. Frank Ntilikina, Lance Thomas and Michael Beasley would see an increased […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out Against Cavs

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. He will be sidelined along with teammate Enes Kanter (wrist, back) for the regular season finale in Cleveland. Trey Burke, Frank Ntilikina and Kyle O'Quinn are expected to join the starting five on Wednesday. All three players […]

Enes Kanter Ruled Out on Wednesday

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (wrist, back) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kanter will miss the final six games of the regular season, including the season finale on Wednesday. Kyle O'Quinn is expected to finish out the season as the starting center. Luke Kornet will get the primary […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Hood will miss the final two games of the regular season, but it sounds precautionary. The Cavs want to be cautious with injuries as they head into the postseason. Kyle Korver should join the starting five, while […]

John Wall is Doubtful on Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (rest) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He sat out on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks, but played versus the Celtics on Tuesday. Wall said he only wanted to play against playoff teams, so he's likely going to be sidelined for Wednesday's contest. It's the regular […]

Troy Daniels is Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Troy Daniels (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Devin Booker (hand), T.J. Warren (knee), and Elfrid Payton (knee) have already been ruled out for this contest. Daniels has been playing well with most of the Suns best players sidelined. However, he played just 14 minutes in the loss […]

Devin Booker Won't Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Booker will join teammates T.J. Warren (knee) and Elfrid Payton (knee) on the sidelines for the Suns regular season finale. The Suns have already locked up the NBA's worst record, so they will be cautious with injuries in a meaningless […]

Elfrid Payton Ruled Out on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Payton will miss the final seven games of the regular season. It's clearly not the way Payton wanted to end his season, and it's unclear if he'll be back in Phoenix next season. Tyler Ulis has been […]

Josh Jackson Won't Play Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Jackson's rookie season will come to an end after missing the final two games of the regular season. He played much better after the All-Star break, averaging 18.7 points per game. The Suns are really banged up, so […]

Thaddeus Young Ruled Out on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young (rest) will not play against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. Young has played in 81 games this season, so he really earned the night off in the regular season finale. Domantas Sabonis should jump into the starting five with Young sidelined. Sabonis is averaging 13.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.6 […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Will Rest on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (rest) will not play against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. This game marks just the second time all season that Bogdanovic has missed a game. He finished the season averaging a career high with 14.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 treys per game. Glenn Robinson III should draw the start […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Oladipo will finish the season averaging 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and a league-leading 2.4 steals. The Pacers are likely just being cautious with Oladipo since it's their last game of the regular season. Lance Stephenson is […]

Ben Simmons Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He did not participate in shootaround and is at the team hotel getting treatment for gastroenteritis. The Sixers have won 14 straight games, while Simmons is averaging a triple-double during that stretch. The last two games are must-win contests for […]

Ian Mahinmi is Questionable Against Boston

Washington Wizards center Ian Mahinmi (concussion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. As of Sunday, Mahinmi had not cleared the NBA's concussion protocol. The Wizards main priority is getting him back for the playoffs, so we could see Mahinmi sit out the final two games of the regular season. Jason […]

Guerschon Yabusele Will Miss Next Two Games

Boston Celtics forward Guerschon Yabusele (knee) will miss the final two games of the regular season. Yabusele will sit out on Tuesday versus the Washington Wizards and Wednesday against the Nets. However, Yabusele plans to be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs that starts either Saturday or Sunday. Semi Ojeleye and Jabari Bird will […]

Marquese Chriss is Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Suns have already secured the worst record in the NBA, so they might let their better players see more action on Tuesday. Chriss has been playing well in the second half of the season. He's averaging 15.0 […]
