Elfrid Payton is Unlikely to Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton (knee) is unlikely to play on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Payton has been sidelined four straight games due to knee tendinitis. It does not appear that the issue is going away, and it could sideline him for the rest of the season. Payton is a free agent […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out on Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Booker has missed nine straight games, but did practice on Thursday.

Enes Kanter is Questionable Friday

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back, wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Kanter has missed two straight games, but said he does want to return this season. However, the Knicks only have three games left after Friday and Kyle O'Quinn has been playing well in the absence of Kanter. O'Quinn […]

Michael Beasley is Questionable Against Miami

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Beasley has been sick since Monday and sat out of Tuesday's contest with the Orlando Magic.

Taurean Prince is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Hawks are in tank mode but finish out the regular season against Washington, Boston and Philly. Even at full strength the Hawks are not likely going to beat any of those teams, so it's safe for them to […]

Dario Saric is Questionable Against Cavs

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Dario Saric (elbow) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's been forced to miss three straight games, but it does not appear he'll be sidelined much longer. He's been one of the most consistent fantasy options all season long. Ersan Ilyasova has been playing well in the starting lineup […]

George Hill Won't Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (ankle) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's missed three straight games and it's unclear whether or not he'll return during the regular season. The Cavs continue to be cautious with injuries as the regular season finishes up. Jose Calderon (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's […]

Jose Calderon is Questionable on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Jose Calderon (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Calderon sat out of the front end of the back-to-back set on Thursday versus the Wizards. He was experiencing hamstring soreness at shootaround, so the Cavs decided to give Calderon the night off. Jordan Clarkson played 22 minutes in […]

Jimmy Butler Expected to Return on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected to return to the rotation on Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Butler was active for Thursday's contest against the Denver Nuggets, but head coach Tom Thibodeau said he thought it was "best to wait another day."

John Wall Likely Resting on Friday

Beforehand, Wall said he was likely going to rest on Friday, and only wanted […]

Allen Crabbe Expected to Return Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is expected to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He missed Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness. The Nets are one of the most cautious teams in the league when it comes to injuries. Brooklyn is not playing for anything, so Crabbe could very well […]

Jimmy Butler Could Return on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said there's a "chance" that Butler plays on Thursday, but it depends on how he feels in warmups. He was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, so it seems like he's been upgraded, which […]

Jeff Teague Remains Questionable on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed Sunday's game versus the Utah Jazz and is likely headed towards a game-time decision for Thursday. It's unclear how much playing time Teague will receive. He sometimes plays 20 minutes and other times plays 40-plus minutes. Tyus […]

Damian Lillard Ruled Out on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is considered day-to-day, but the Blazers want to be cautious as they head into the postseason. This injury is likely just a minor issue and if it was a playoff game, then Lillard would be […]

George Hill Ruled Out on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (ankle) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. This will mark his third straight game on the sidelines. The Cavs continue to be cautious with their players as they head into the playoffs. Jose Calderon (hamstring) has been fantastic in the absence of Hill but will join […]

Jose Calderon Won't Play Against Wizards

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Jose Calderon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Calderon has battled hamstring issues throughout his career, so having soreness is not surprising. He was dealing with left hamstring soreness at shootaround and the team will hold him out of the first game of the back-to-back […]

John Wall Will Play on Thursday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. However, Wall will rest on Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks. "I want to play against the teams that are going to be in the playoffs," Wall said. "No offense to the teams that are not going to the playoffs." Wall will […]

Enes Kanter Could Be Done For The Season

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back) could be done for the season, according to head coach Jeff Hornacek. Kanter's back has been a lingering issue and the Knicks only have four games left. The Knicks have the eighth worst record in the league and may attempt to improve their draft positioning over the next […]

Dirk Nowitzki Done For Remainder of The Season

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season after having left ankle surgery. However, the procedure was relatively minor and he should not be sidelined too long. This injury should not affect Nowitzki's decision to return for one more season. It sounds like Nowitzki is leaning towards playing one more […]

DeMarre Carroll Ruled Out on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (hip) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets are listing Carroll as day-to-day for the rest of the season. It would not be surprising if Carroll sat out the rest of the season since the Nets are not playing for anything. Carroll is a […]

Terry Rozier is Questionable on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Toronto Raptors. He was ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks after saying he was "for sure" going to play on Monday. Shane Larkin (illness) will not play on Wednesday, so Rozier could be looking at heavy minutes […]

Andre Drummond is Hopeful to Play Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Andre Drummond (illness) is hopeful to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. He did not go through shootaround, but wants to play against Philly. Drummond was fined, but not suspended for his incident with Quincy Acy on Sunday, so he's eligible to play. Eric Moreland would likely earn the start if […]

Dewayne Dedmon is Questionable on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (rib) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Dedmon missed Tuesday's game versus the Heat and could be out for both parts of the back-to-back set. The Hawks are playing for nothing, so they can afford to be cautious with all their injuries. Miles Plumlee would likely draw […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (concussion) is considered unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He did not travel with the team for Tuesday's game against Utah and has missed two straight contests due to a concussion.

Lonzo Ball Considered Doubtful on Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Ball has missed three straight games and head coach Luke Walton said "with so few games left in the season, he won’t play until it doesn’t hurt." The Lakers aren't playing for anything, so they will […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs will rest their veterans.

Harrison Barnes Will Rest on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs will rest their veterans. Dirk Nowitzki (ankle), Dwight Powell (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) will join Barnes on the sidelines for this contest. Maximilian Kleber […]

Dwight Powell Won't Play on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.
