Thomas Bryant Has A Big Night Against Atlanta
Los Angeles Lakers center Thomas Bryant played well in Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. The big man helped LeBron James celebrate his birthday by amassing a double-double, courtesy of a 19-point, 17-rebound effort.

Jalen Brunson Questionable Against Former Team
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks. The 26-year-old suffered a right hip injury during the Christmas Day loss to Philadelphia. If Brunson can't suit up against his former club, RJ Barrett and Julius Randle should do most of the heavy lifting offensively. At the same time, […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Unavailable Against New York
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (adductor) is out again for Tuesday's game versus the New York Knicks. With Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out indefinitely, Reggie Bullock and Davis Bertans will likely continue to receive additional work.

Landry Shamet Won't Play On Tuesday Evening
Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (Achilles) won't suit up for Tuesday's matchup with Memphis. Devin Booker (groin) lasted only four minutes during the Christmas clash with Denver before exiting.

Dennis Schroder Expected To Play Against The Magic
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder (foot) is expected to play on Tuesday night in Orlando. The veteran is dealing with left foot soreness, although it shouldn't be a cause for alarm.

LeBron James Probable Against Orlando
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's meeting with Orlando. The King has been in and out of the lineup all season because of left ankle soreness, so his presence on the injury report is nothing new.

Tyler Boyd Struggles In Week 16
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd finished with only three catches for 21 yards in the win over New England in Week 16.

Teddy Bridgewater Available In Week 16
Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is available for the Christmas Day showdown with the Packers. The veteran was listed on the injury report because of his knee, which is nothing new for the signal-caller.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is considered day-to-day. Hurts wasn't expected to be on the field until the postseason to give him time to recover from a sprained SC joint.
