Russell Westbrook Making Progress

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) was unable to suit up for their first game of the postseason. However, Westbrook is reportedly getting a lot better, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. It sounds like Westbrook is likely going to miss Game 2, but he should be able to return during the series. Until then, […]

Gary Harris Won't Play On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Utah Jazz. He has not made his bubble debut yet, but continues to ramp up his activities during practice. However, who knows how close he truly is to getting in game action. Will Barton (knee) will join him on […]

Jaylen Brown Probable For Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (thigh) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. He was hit in the thigh during the first game of the series and briefly came out of the game. Brown might be dealing with a little soreness, but he should be able to play through the […]

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable Versus Clippers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Los Angeles Clippers. He is dealing with right knee soreness, but the left knee was the one he had ACL surgery on in 2018. It doesn't sound like the team is too concerned about it. Porzingis only played 20 […]

Victor Oladipo Taken To Hospital

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (eye) was taken to a hospital at halftime during Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Miami Heat. "It wasn't an option [for him to return]. His vision was really blurry," said head coach Nate McMillan. Oladipo will have his left eye evaluated after getting hit across the face by Jae Crowder […]

Will Barton Ruled Out Indefinitely

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely, which means he probably won't make an appearance in the playoffs. The team said his right knee isn't improving, so he'll remain on the sideline. Michael Porter Jr. and Torrey Craig will continue to gain playing time and fantasy value without Barton available. Porter […]

Luke Kennard Looks Good

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (knee) has been battling injuries throughout the season. He put up career high this year, but sadly he wasn't able to stay on the court as much as he would've liked. In mid-June the team reported that Kennard hasn't dealt with any setbacks and is back to 100 percent health. […]

Aaron Gordon Listed As Questionable For Game 2

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Gordon did not play in the first game of the series, but has been able to go through non-contact practices. Head coach Steve Clifford recently said that Gordon is not 100 percent healthy yet. Gary Clark […]

Michael Carter-Williams Doubtful For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He is currently listed as day-to-day, so there's a chance that he returns for this one. Markelle Fultz, D.J. Augustin, and Terrence Ross will all gain some fantasy value, assuming Carter-Williams remains out. Ross could end up […]

Victor Oladipo Removed From Injury Report

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Miami Heat. He sat out of final seeding game on Friday, but that was likely as a precaution. The Pacers wanted to make sure all their starters were healthy and fresh for the playoffs. He […]

T.J. Warren Believes He'll Be Ready For Tuesday

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) was able to participate in Sunday's practice. They open up their playoff series against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Warren missed the final two seeding games due to plantar fasciitis. The team does not believe it's as serious as teammate Domantas Sabonis. It's basically an injury that needs rest, […]

Glenn Robinson III Out At Least A Week

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (oblique) will be sidelined for the next 7-10 days. He was limited by a hip pointer earlier in the bubble, but now is dealing with an oblique muscle strain. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up at all during the postseason. Robinson was likely going to see […]

Eric Gordon Starting Game 1

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will move into the starting five for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Russell Westbrook (quad) has been ruled out for at least one game, but it could be more. James Harden will see his usage go through the roof and he'll be a must-have fantasy option […]

Nassir Little Ruled Out For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (dehydration) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Zach Collins (ankle) is out as well, so Little had a shot at some playing time if he was able to take the court. However, when everyone is healthy Little won't have much of a […]

Rajon Rondo Medically Cleared To Play

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (thumb) has been medically cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Head coach Frank Vogel has not committed to Rondo being ready for the Game 1 contest. More information should be known later in the day. Alex Caruso would continue to see increased playing time […]

Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Orlando Magic. The Bucks are not going to risk any of their veterans at less than 100 percent health. Milwaukee should win this series comfortably whether or not IIyasova is on the court. Marvin Williams should absorb most of […]

Gordon Hayward Left On Crutches

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) left the arena on crutches after Monday's Game 1 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. His right foot was in a walking boot, but maybe this is the organization being cautious. Hayward was unable to put any weight on it after he left the game. He'll undergo an MRI, so […]

C.J. McCollum Available For Game 1

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (back) is available for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Los Angeles Lakers. He was able to drop 25 points through 44 minutes during Thursday's contest despite dealing with a small fracture in his vertebra. McCollum is a little banged up, but he has shown that he can produce through […]

Zach Collins Ruled Out For Game 1

Portland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Head coach Terry Stotts mentioned that Collins was dealing with some soreness and inflammation in the top left of his ankle. He'll likely be day-to-day, so who knows if he'll be able to suit up […]

Danuel House Expected To Play Versus Thunder

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is expected to be available for Game 1 versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. He practiced on Sunday, but the team might wait until warmups on game day before making the final decision. Russell Westbrook (quad) has already been ruled out, so the team can't afford to lose another big […]

Russell Westbrook Won't Play Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The MRI revealed a strained right quad, which means Westbrook could miss more than just one game. James Harden is going to be asked to do everything without Westbrook available. Eric Gordon, Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore […]

Evan Fournier Returns To Practice

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (illness) returned to practice over the weekend and is expected to play in Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Both Fournier and Terrence Ross (illness) were able to practice and it appears are ready to suit up for the beginning of their playoff series. Fournier has struggled during […]

Terrence Ross Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (illness) was removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was battling a stomach bug, but was able to practice over the weekend. It doesn't sound like the team plans to restrict him at all, but more information should be known on Tuesday. He's […]

Aaron Gordon Might Sit Out On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is expected to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to get through his third straight non-contact session on Monday. Head coach Steve Clifford said Gordon continues to get better, but isn't quite 100 percent yet. Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier would […]

Luguentz Dort Unlikely To Play Versus Houston

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is unlikely going to suit up for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Houston Rockets. Head coach Billy Donovan said Dort is progressing well and will hopefully be ready sooner rather than later. Dort was expected to be the primary defender on James Harden, so losing him is going […]

Kendrick Nunn Sent To The Bench For Game 1

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn will come off the bench with the second unit for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team has decided to shake up their starting five to kick off their playoff series. That being said, Goran Dragic is expected to jump into the starting five alongside Jimmy Butler. Nunn has […]

Kristaps Porzingis Probable For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has not played since August 11 due to a left heel contusion. However, the team was likely holding him out to be cautious since they didn't have much to play for during the last few seeding […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable Versus Dallas

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned that he's hopeful Beverley will be available, but it sounds like it'll be a game time decision. Landry Shamet (foot) is also questionable for this contest, which means the Clippers could be […]

Landry Shamet Questionable For Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was unable to play Wednesday or Friday due to a left foot sprain. The Clippers could be without him for Game 1, but Shamet hasn't been sharp during the bubble games. Reggie Jackson, Rodney McGruder and […]

OG Anunoby Playing Against Brooklyn

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (knee) will play in Game 1 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. He played the first six seeding games before suffering a right knee injury that forced him to miss the final two contests. Anunoby is not expected to be limited and should be heavily used in an attempt to […]
