Dwight Howard is Probable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard (ribs) is being listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He played through the rib issue on Tuesday. He played 29 minutes, scoring 24 points with six rebounds and five blocks in the victory over Chicago. Howard has incentive to play with Charlotte still in the playoff […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Questionable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. MKG pulled his hamstring in Tuesday's game, so it would not be surprising if he sat out on Wednesday. He played just six minutes on Tuesday before heading to the locker room. He's had little recovery time, but […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This will mark the third straight game on the sidelines for Evans. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but the team is considering Evans day-to-day. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he was not expecting it to be a […]

Danilo Gallinari Ruled Out Against Denver

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. The X-rays came back negative, but Gallinari was unable to play on Friday. He won't suit up for Tuesday's game either, and Tyrone Wallace is […]

Paul Zipser Ruled Out Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last two games due to a foot injury and played in just seven minutes against Philly last Thursday. Zach LaVine (rest) is expected to return on Tuesday, so Zipser's absence should not change much. David […]

Jahlil Okafor Ruled Out Against Cavs

Brooklyn Nets center Jahlil Okafor (illness) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This game will mark Okafor's fourth straight game on the sidelines. However, he's only played limited minutes when healthy and is not a big part of the rotation. He was hopeful for a fresh start in Brooklyn, but […]

Paul Millsap Could Play on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Paul Millsap (wrist) is likely a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Millsap has a chance to play for the first time since Nov. 19, but would be on a heavy minutes limit. It's safe to assume that head coach Mike Malone is going to heavily limit Millsap's […]

Kelly Olynyk is On Track to Return

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) is on track to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. He was able to fully practice on Monday and participated in shootaround on Tuesday. Olynyk admitted his shoulder wasn't 100 percent but is approaching Tuesday's game like he's going to play some minutes. Olynyk is not expected to […]

Zach LaVine Will Start on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (rest) will start against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. He was forced to miss the front end of the back-to-back set on Monday against Brooklyn. The Bulls have said they won't allow LaVine to play in back-to-back sets this season. He is fully expected to suit up for the second […]

Jordan Bell is Questionable on Monday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has not played since Jan. 15, so do not expect Bell to play much his first game back. Bell is going to be a risky DFS option for his first couple of games back. He's worth a […]

Tyson Chandler Ruled Out on Monday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Chandler continues to get ruled out in advance and could be looking at a couple more games on the sidelines. Alex Len is likely going to be named the starting center. He should be in line for […]

Eric Gordon is Questionable on Monday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon did not practice on Saturday and sat out of Sunday's game versus the Denver Nuggets. Joe Johnson saw the biggest increase in playing time with Gordon sidelined. Johnson played 29 minutes on Sunday, but finished with just […]

Jonathan Isaac Could Return on Wednesday

Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was recalled after appearing in a couple of games in the G-League over the weekend. Isaac will work out with the team trainers on Monday but won't suit up. It sounds like there is a […]

Kelly Olynyk Returns to Practice

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) returned to practice on Monday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was non-committal when asked about whether or not Olynyk would play Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Olynyk has not played since Feb. 5 and will be joining a crowded front court. It could take a couple of games before Olynyk […]

Paul Zipser Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Justin Holiday and Robin Lopez are expected to be sidelined. Zipser was forced to miss Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and played just seven minutes in the game prior to that. David Nwaba and Denzel Valentine will see […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but Evans is considered day-to-day. "We're not expecting it to be a long absence," coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Andrew Harrison is expected to see a higher usage rate without Evans on the […]

Robin Lopez Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez is doubtful to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Lopez and Justin Holiday have been healthy scratches the last two games. Lopez is disappointed the Bulls pulled him out of the rotation, but added he "gets it." "It was rough for me. I get it. I understand it," Lopez […]

Aron Baynes is Questionable on Monday

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (elbow) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Baynes was forced to sit out of Saturday's game versus the New York Knicks. Daniel Theis drew the start and finished with six points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 18 minutes. Greg Monroe played just 11 […]

Pelicans Sign Emeka Okafor For Remainder of The Season

The New Orleans Pelicans have signed center Emeka Okafor for the remainder of the season. He signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the team, but impressed enough to stay with them throughout the season. Okafor is averaging 3.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game. He usually only will see […]

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He was listed as probable before the game, but it sounds like he'll be good to go against the Cavs. He missed Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to food poisoning. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury is not serious, but it does not take much for the 40-year-old to be sidelined. Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills will split up Ginobili's minutes, but that is only roughly 15 to 20 minutes of […]

Danilo Gallinari Listed As Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) is listed as day-to-day, but he could play against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Gallinari sat out of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Head coach Doc Rivers said Gallinari's ability to play will be a "pain-tolerance thing," so it sounds like a minor injury. Tyrone Wallace will […]

Avery Bradley Out 1-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) will miss the next one to three weeks of action. Head coach Doc Rivers does not know exactly when Bradley will return, but said he'll out be "a while." Milos Teodosic, Tyrone Wallace and Austin Rivers will split the minutes with Bradley sidelined. Teodosic and Rivers are worth […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers. This move also improves the chances of the Bulls landing a higher pick in the upcoming draft. The Bulls have four more back-to-back sets, […]

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

Eric Gordon is Doubtful for Sunday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gordon was unable to practice on Saturday and was forced to miss Friday's game with the same illness. P.J. Tucker, Luc Mbah a Moute and Joe Johnson would see additional playing time if Gordon is sidelined on Sunday. […]

Jonathon Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The good news is that this ankle issue is not the same as the lingering injury Simmons suffered last month. He is technically listed as a game-time decision, but is fully expected to suit up against the Sixers. Owners should […]

Tyson Chandler is Doubtful on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He had an MRI earlier in the week and there is a good chance Chandler misses multiple games. The Suns do not plan on sitting Chandler this season, but want to make sure he's healthy and ready to play. […]

De'Aaron Fox is Probable for Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (eye) is probable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with pink eye. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day but has been upgraded to probable. He is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Saturday without a minutes limit. He'll likely see plenty […]

Kosta Koufos is Questionable on Saturday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Kosta Koufos (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was reportedly sick Thursday night, which is likely why the Kings held him out against OKC. Zach Randolph would see heavy playing time as a starter next to Willie Cauley-Stein if Koufos is sidelined again. Koufos is not […]
