Hornets Attempting To Trade Nicolas Batum

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum is expected to pick up his $27 million player option for next season. It is far more than he'd get in free agency, so there's no reason for him not to accept the deal. It's the final year of his contract, so the Hornets are likely going to attempt to […]

Danuel House Could Miss Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (personal) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with a personal issue, so it's unclear if he'll suit up next game. Robert Covington (face), Jeff Green, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore would benefit if House is out. Covington is the […]

Robert Covington Should Play In Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington (face) is expected to be available for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It doesn't sound like his nose is broken and Covington was able to pass the concussion protocol. Danuel House (personal) is questionable for Game 4, which could mean big minutes for Covington. Fantasy owners should check […]

Dion Waiters Doubtful For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He has played a total of eight minutes in this series, so losing Waiters won't hurt too much. Rajon Rondo looked fantastic last game and would probably take most of his minutes anyway. Rondo could […]

Tyler Herro Downgraded To Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as probable, but it appears he has a slight downgrade now.

Kelly Olynyk Remains Questionable For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as questionable last game and only ended up playing 10 minutes.

Jae Crowder Questionable For Game 5

Miami Heat forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat are a little banged up right now, so losing Crowder would hurt.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Seen Wearing Walking Boot

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot while arriving to the arena for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He is currently listed as questionable, so there probably won't be a better update until closer to tip-off. Khris Middleton would see his usage skyrocket if Antetokounmpo is unable to […]

Nikola Jokic Will Start Monday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will start in Monday's Game 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He played well during Game 2, but suffered a right wrist sprain along the way. Jokic was a game-time decision heading into this one, but it appears that he's good to play. It doesn't sound like the […]

Nikola Jokic Questionable For Game 3

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 3 matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Jokic played fantastic during Game 2, but sprained his wrist in the process. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline him, but fantasy owners should check back just in case. Mason Plumlee […]

Dion Waiters Exits Early On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) only played for three minutes during Sunday's Game 2 matchup due to injury. He pulled his left groin and was unable to return to the contest.

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (ankle) will have an MRI prior to Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He suffered a left ankle injury and was only able to play for eight minutes on Sunday. Despite that, head coach Frank Vogel decided to leave Dwight Howard on the bench for the entire […]

Dwight Howard Healthy Scratch During Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard did not play at all during Sunday's Game 2 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. Head coach Frank Vogel has decided to go small ball instead of taking advantage of the Rockets lack of size. JaVale McGee (ankle) only saw eight minutes of play on Sunday, while Howard didn't play […]

Jae Crowder Uncertain For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jae Crowder (general soreness) is uncertain for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was non-committal on Crowder's status for next game. He took a hard fall during Game 4 and is likely going to be listed as questionable. It's unclear if he'll be limited or not, assuming […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Should Play In Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He was only able to play 11 minutes during Sunday's contest before exiting with a sprained right ankle. Antetokounmpo was wearing a protective boot after Sunday's contest, so it doesn't sound like he'll be 100 percent […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo To Go Through Workout Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) will go through a workout ahead of Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Miami Heat. Antetokounmpo sprained his right ankle last game, but was able to play through the issue. He is currently listed as questionable for this one, but it sounds like the team will wait and see […]

Kelly Olynyk Remains Uncertain For Game 4

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of last game due to a right knee issue. It sounds like the team plans on having Olynyk go through warmups before making a final decision. Derrick Jones would see more playing […]

Montrezl Harrell Wins Sixth Man Of The Year

Los Angeles Clippers center Montrezl Harrell wins the Sixth Man of the Year award for the 2019-2020 season. He snaps teammate Lou Williams two-year run, but at least the award stays on the team.

Patrick Beverley Will Be Limited Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) will be on a minutes limit during Saturday's Game 2 contest against the Denver Nuggets. He was able to play during their first game of the series, but was only out there for 12 minutes. The Clippers are likely going to push him a little more during his […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable For Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Miami Heat. He twisted his ankle early during Friday's contest, but was able to play through the issue. However, he didn't look comfortable after tweaking his ankle, so the team might be cautious here. The Bucks are already […]

Gordon Hayward Expected To Return To The Bubble Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is expected to rejoin the team in the bubble on Sunday. However, Hayward is not expected to take the court anytime soon, according to head coach Brad Stevens. He has not played in a game since August 17, when he left the arena on crutches. There's a chance that […]

Kelly Olynyk Could Return On Sunday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was unable to suit up for Friday's contest due to a right knee issue.

Rajon Rondo Probable For Sunday's Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 matchup against the Houston Rockets. He was able to get out there and make his bubble debut during Friday's contest. He played 25 minutes, but likely played more than the Lakers wanted him to on Friday. Alex Caruso got into […]

Tyler Herro Should Be Fine For Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

He should be good to […]

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (finger) and forward LeBron James (groin) are listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 versus the Houston Rockets.

Bo Bichette Could Return Sooner Than Expected

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) might be ahead of his September projection, according to Rob Longley. On Thursday, Bichette went through a workout that included base running and batting practice. That was the first time he was able to do those activities since going down with his right knee injury. The Blue Jays […]

Cole Hamels To Throw On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Cole Hamels (triceps) will throw live batting practice on Sunday.
