Wayne Ellington Ruled Out Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (thigh) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was not expected to play after missing practice on Friday. Guys like Goran Dragic, Josh Richardson, Dwyane Wade, and Rodney McGruder should all see additional playing time and increased value without Ellington in the rotation. Ellington might […]

Bam Adebayo Ruled Out on Saturday

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (personal) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Erik Spoelstra expects Adebayo to only miss one game, but did not elaborate on the reason(s) for his absence. Spo did not say who would start at power forward for the Heat on Saturday. Kelly Olynyk […]

Corey Brewer Signs with Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have officially signed guard/forward Corey Brewer. He will be with OKC on Saturday in Portland, but it is unclear if he'll play against the Trail Blazers. The veteran will provide defensive wing depth to the second unit. Terrance Ferguson, Josh Huestis and Alex Abrines are expected to lose some value and […]

Cody Zeller is Questionable Against Sixers

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has some swelling in his surgically repaired knee. However, the Hornets are listing Zeller as day-to-day despite the swelling. Frank Kaminsky will likely pick up some extra minutes if Zeller is unable to suit up. The Hornets don't seem […]

Andrew Harrison is Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is coming off a 20-point game on Wednesday. Having Tyreke Evans (rib) and Mike Conley (heel) sidelined has given Harrison a huge opportunity to make some noise with the first unit. Mario Chalmers and Kobi Simmons would see additional […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is Questionable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hamstring injuries have a tendency to linger, so the Hornets may elect to be cautious with MKG. He was held out of Wednesday's game versus Boston and played just six minutes the game prior. Treveon Graham drew the start […]

Danilo Gallinari Won't Play Against Knicks

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Gallo had an MRI on Wednesday, but the results have not been announced yet.

Shaun Livingston Ruled Out Versus Hawks

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (rest) will not play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Livingston is averaging 5.1 points and 1.9 assists in 15.4 minutes per game this season. This has minimal fantasy impact, but will mean more minutes for Nick Young off the bench. Kevin Durant may be asked to facilitate the […]

T.J. Warren Will Play Friday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (tailbone) will play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. He is dealing with a bruised tailbone and did not play in Wednesday's win over Memphis. Josh Jackson drew the start and scored a career-high 29 points in 40 minutes. Jackson will head back to the bench with Warren returning […]

Tyson Chandler is Out Against OKC

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed five straight games and seven of the last eight Suns contests. However, it does sounds like Chandler could return to the court against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. Alex Len will draw another start […]

Taj Gibson is Questionable for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Taj Gibson (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He suffered the injury during Thursday's contest and he did not play in the fourth quarter. Gibson has not missed a game all season, but the 'Wolves are playing in back-to-back games. Gorgui Dieng picked up most of the minutes […]

OG Anunoby is Doubtful for Friday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sprained his ankle in Wednesday's win over the Orlando Magic. The X-rays came back negative, but Anunoby is "almost certainly out," according to Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg. Norman Powell started the second half for Anunoby and is expected to […]

JaMychal Green is Questionable for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Green is ill and that "a decision will be made later today on his availability."

Tony Snell Ruled Out Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Tony Snell (thigh) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This will mark the second game in a row that Snell has been sidelined. Sterling Brown drew the start for Snell on Wednesday against the Pistons. He finished with four points, five rebounds and one assist in 26 […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (eye) is probable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was poked in the eye during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Giannis said he had blurred vision after the game but said he'd be fine. The probable tag means it is nothing serious, and he […]

Jonathan Isaac Will Return Friday

Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will return against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. However, Isaac will be limited to 15 minutes on the court. He has not played in a game since re-injuring his ankle the day after Christmas. The Magic wanted to make sure Isaac was 100 percent before letting him return […]

Darren Collison Ruled Out Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. There was a small chance that Collison returned during this road trip, but that does not look like it's going to happen. Cory Joseph and Joseph Young will continue to split up the duties at the point guard […]

Chandler Parsons Won't Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons (illness) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Parsons has played in one game, logging in 12 minutes since late December. He is expected to return for Saturday's contest versus the Orlando Magic. Parsons can be a solid presence on the court when healthy and given […]

Skal Labissiere Probable Against Brooklyn

Sacramento Kings forward/center Skal Labissiere (ankle) is probable to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. This is a new injury for him, but hopefully it's nothing too serious. He likely suffered it on Tuesday during his six-point dud versus the Blazers. At least this injury is not about his nagging shoulder issue. Labissiere should be […]

Jahlil Okafor Ruled Out Thursday

Brooklyn Nets center Jahlil Okafor (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This marks his fifth straight game on the sidelines, but he's not part of the Kings rotation when healthy. The Nets have been using Dante Cunningham more at the center spot. Okafor was hopeful for a fresh start […]

Corey Brewer Committed to Thunder

Free-agent guard/forward Corey Brewer has committed to join the Oklahoma City Thunder once he clears waivers. He reached a buyout with the Los Angeles Lakers and was linked to three Eastern Conference teams as well.

Jeff Green is Questionable on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed Tuesday's game, which marked the first game all season that Green has been sidelined. He played in each of the Cavs first 59 games prior to Tuesday. Cedi Osman should see a few extra minutes if Green […]

Ersan Ilyasova is Available on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Ersan Ilyasova will be available to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. He signed his contract on Wednesday, but is familiar with the team after a stint with Philly last season. It's unclear how head coach Brett Brown plans to use Ilyasova. It's difficult to imagine Ilyasova being able to take […]

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Josh Hart (hand) is traveling back to Los Angeles to get his hand examined. That means Hart is officially out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Lonzo Ball is expected to draw the start at point guard and play roughly 30 minutes. Hart needs to decide whether or not to […]

Lonzo Ball Will Start Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball will start against the Miami Heat on Thursday. Josh Hart (wrist) is out, so it's not too surprising Ball will move back into the starting lineup. Head coach Luke Walton said Ball "looked good" at practice and his minutes restrictions have been lifted to 30. He's averaging 11.0 […]

Avery Bradley Could Miss Rest of The Season

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) could miss the rest of the season. "Right now, we're just taking it day by day, trying to be smart about this injury," Bradley said. Head coach Doc Rivers recently said Bradley may need to have offseason surgery. Bradley has missed four straight games and it's looking like […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Likely Having MRI

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) could have an MRI on his right ankle Thursday. He left Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans early and did not return. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game and the Spurs are one of the most cautious teams in the NBA. Pau Gasol (knee) […]

Danilo Gallinari Won't Play on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gallinari does not have a fracture to his hand, but will be sidelined for the third straight contest.
