Wayne Ellington Ruled Out Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Goran Dragic and Josh Richardson are going to be locked into heavy minutes. Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) will also join Ellington on the sidelines for Thursday's contest. Dwyane Wade likely won't start but will be busy off the […]

Josh Hart Could Miss Rest of the Season

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. The team continues to rule him out early, so it's unknown when Gallinari will return to the court. Tyrone […]

Tony Snell Ruled Out Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Tony Snell (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Snell has been playing heavy minutes lately, so hopefully this is not a long-term injury. The severity of the injury is not known, so Snell could be out multiple games. Sterling Brown and Jason Terry will see extended […]

Brandan Wright Ruled Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Brandan Wright (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This will be Wright's second game on the sidelines, as he's dealing with a knee issue. Center Clint Capela (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's contest while Ryan Anderson (hip) has been ruled out. Tarik Black […]

Ryan Anderson is Ruled Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (hip) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This will be Anderson's second game in a row he's been ruled out due to a hip issue. Center Clint Capela (illness) is listed as probable and is expected to start. Trevor Ariza, Luc Mbah a Moute and […]

Clint Capela is Probable on Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Clint Capela (illness) is probable to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. It sounds like Capela is on track to return after missing Monday's game due to illness. Tarik Black would move back to the bench and return to his normal role. Luc Mbah a Moute may lose a few […]

T.J. Warren is Questionable on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (tailbone) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Warren hurt his tailbone in Monday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. He still played 42 minutes in that contest, but the Suns are playing for draft positioning. The team may elect to give Warren some extra rest on […]

Pau Gasol Ruled Out on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Pau Gasol (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is not surprising news, since Gasol was unable to get through shootaround. He should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Lakers. Davis Bertans is expected to draw the start with Joffrey Lauvergne in […]

Tyson Chandler Ruled Out Against Memphis

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Chandler continues to deal with swelling in his neck joint. This will mark his fifth straight game on the sidelines, but John Gambadoro of 98.7 Phoenix reports Chandler could return on Friday. Alex Len is expected to draw […]

Daniel Theis Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Daniel Theis (hamstring) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Greg Monroe is expected to get back into the rotation with Theis sidelined. However, that should not mean too much with Aron Baynes and Al Horford ahead of him on the depth chart. The hamstring issue does not […]

Jonathan Isaac Ruled Out Wednesday

Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Frank Vogel wants Isaac to get one more day of work in before returning to the court. That means Isaac should be ready to play against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. However, Orlando is going […]

Corey Brewer Reaches Buyout with Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly reached a buyout agreement with guard/forward Corey Brewer. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll be able to sign with any club of his choosing. It'll likely be a playoff-bound team, but that does not guarantee his value will increase much. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Brewer is seriously considering reuniting with […]

Aaron Gordon Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was listed as questionable heading into this game, but will be available to play. Gordon continues to deal with a nagging hip issue, but will fight through the pain and play Wednesday. Mario Hezonja continues to lose value and minutes […]

Malcolm Delaney is Questionable on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Mike Budenholzer wants Delaney to go through his pre-game routine, so he's likely headed towards a game-time decision. Owners will have to wait until pregame for official confirmation on his status. He's missed two straight games but does […]

Cody Zeller is Questionable on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Zeller left Tuesday's game against the Bulls after experiencing some swelling in his knee. Wednesday is the second game of a back-to-back set, so it would not be surprising to see Zeller sitting out. The team may want to […]

Dwight Howard is Probable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard (ribs) is being listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He played through the rib issue on Tuesday. He played 29 minutes, scoring 24 points with six rebounds and five blocks in the victory over Chicago. Howard has incentive to play with Charlotte still in the playoff […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Questionable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. MKG pulled his hamstring in Tuesday's game, so it would not be surprising if he sat out on Wednesday. He played just six minutes on Tuesday before heading to the locker room. He's had little recovery time, but […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This will mark the third straight game on the sidelines for Evans. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but the team is considering Evans day-to-day. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he was not expecting it to be a […]

Danilo Gallinari Ruled Out Against Denver

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. The X-rays came back negative, but Gallinari was unable to play on Friday. He won't suit up for Tuesday's game either, and Tyrone Wallace is […]

Paul Zipser Ruled Out Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last two games due to a foot injury and played in just seven minutes against Philly last Thursday. Zach LaVine (rest) is expected to return on Tuesday, so Zipser's absence should not change much. David […]

Jahlil Okafor Ruled Out Against Cavs

Brooklyn Nets center Jahlil Okafor (illness) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This game will mark Okafor's fourth straight game on the sidelines. However, he's only played limited minutes when healthy and is not a big part of the rotation. He was hopeful for a fresh start in Brooklyn, but […]

Paul Millsap Could Play on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Paul Millsap (wrist) is likely a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Millsap has a chance to play for the first time since Nov. 19, but would be on a heavy minutes limit. It's safe to assume that head coach Mike Malone is going to heavily limit Millsap's […]

Kelly Olynyk is On Track to Return

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) is on track to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. He was able to fully practice on Monday and participated in shootaround on Tuesday. Olynyk admitted his shoulder wasn't 100 percent but is approaching Tuesday's game like he's going to play some minutes. Olynyk is not expected to […]

Zach LaVine Will Start on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (rest) will start against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. He was forced to miss the front end of the back-to-back set on Monday against Brooklyn. The Bulls have said they won't allow LaVine to play in back-to-back sets this season. He is fully expected to suit up for the second […]

Jordan Bell is Questionable on Monday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has not played since Jan. 15, so do not expect Bell to play much his first game back. Bell is going to be a risky DFS option for his first couple of games back. He's worth a […]

Tyson Chandler Ruled Out on Monday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Chandler continues to get ruled out in advance and could be looking at a couple more games on the sidelines. Alex Len is likely going to be named the starting center. He should be in line for […]
