Precious Achiuwa To Play Against Rockets

Toronto Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa (knee) will suit up for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Achiuwa is coming off an excellent 20-point game in 40 minutes during the victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Clint Frazier To Lead Off On Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Clint Frazier will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Read More

Zach LaVine Tagged As Probable For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Bulls have been careful with their star guard due to his lingering knee problems.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Kuzma has been out since mid-March.

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (thumb) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was held out of Wednesday's game due to right thumb soreness.

Carmelo Anthony To Miss Thursday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (Achilles) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Dillon Brooks Uncertain For Thursday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

His... Read More

Malik Beasley Tagged As Probable For Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
