Cole Anthony Will Miss Tuesday's Game Versus Toronto

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (wrist) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Precious Achiuwa Will Play Against Magic

Toronto Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is available to play Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Achiuwa was questionable with an ankle sprain, but will not miss any time due to the injury. Gray Trent Jr. (calf) will remain sidelined so the Raptors will likely roll out another lineup with Achiuwa and Jakob Poeltl in the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Remains Out Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Trent will miss another game due to a calf strain and will not have another opportunity to play until after the All-Star break. Precious Achiuwa (ankle) should continue to start Tuesday and holds some fantasy upside. In 10 games […]

Jayson Tatum Listed As Doubtful Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) is doubtful to play against the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Clippers are in the heat of the congested Western Conference playoff race and were one of the more active franchises during Thursday's trade deadline.

Joel Embiid Good To Go Against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been cleared to play and will start Wednesday against the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics are without Robert Williams III (ankle) and Al Horford (knee), paving the way […]

Killian Hayes Moves Back Into Starting Lineup

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes has been promoted to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hayes has been in a slump and coming off the bench, but came up big last game with 17 points and nine assists in 32 minutes. This performance appears to have turned heads in the coaching […]

Jamal Murray Questionable For Thursday's Contest

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is officially questionable to play Thursday against the Orlando Magic. Murray missed the past two games due to some inflammation in his knee.

Al Horford And Robert Williams III Both Out Wednesday

The Boston Celtics have ruled out centers Al Horford (knee) and Robert Williams III (ankle) for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Bradley Beal (foot) is making his return so it is unclear who will supplant Morris in the starting lineup. […]

Bradley Beal Set To Play Against Charlotte

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (foot) will play Wednesday versus the Charlotte Hornets. Beal will make his return after a two-game absence due to some foot soreness and is slated to rejoin the starting lineup. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) out, Beal should be even busier on offense. Corey Kispert will likely take a hit with […]

Keldon Johnson Available Versus Raptors

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (ankle) has been upgraded to available to play Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Johnson continues to deal with a sore ankle but will play through it as usual. The Spurs have a lengthy injury report against Toronto which should allow Johnson to continue flourishing on offense. Over the past […]

Chris Duarte Will Play Versus Miami

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Chris Duarte (ankle) has been cleared to play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Duarte was questionable to play with a sore ankle, but went through shootaround with no issues and will make his return after a two-game absence.

Kyle Kuzma To Remain Out Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets.

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Darius Garland (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) have been downgraded to out Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.

Joel Embiid On Injury Report Again

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Boston Celtics.

Embiid has remained questionable, but has played in six straight games showing no signs of slowing down and should be […]

Jaylen Brown Likely To Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is listed as probable versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Brown missed Monday's game due to a non-COVID illness which certainly got some trade rumors swirling. Brown appears to have recovered enough to play Wednesday and will likely make his return unless anything changes. Sam Hauser scored 15 points […]

Daniel Gafford Not Listed On Wednesday's Injury Report

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (leg) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gafford briefly left Monday's game and was noticeably limping after appearing to tweak something in his leg. Despite this, Gafford appears to have avoided an injury and should be good to go Wednesday. If […]

Austin Reaves Playing Against Thunder

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (hamstring) will make his return Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Reaves has missed the past 16 games due to a hamstring strain, but will return to the court against the Thunder.

Jonas Valanciunas Starting Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (quad) is back in the starting lineup against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. Valanciunas was probable to play so this should not be unexpected, but he did miss Sunday's game after going through an MRI. Valanciunas appears to have recovered from his awkward fall on Saturday and should be […]

Brandon Ingram Playing As Expected Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (toe) is cleared to play Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Ingram will replace Naji Marshall in the starting lineup and […]

DeMar DeRozan Sitting Out Tuesday Against Memphis

Chicago Bulls guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (hip) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. DeRozan has been dealing with lingering hip soreness most of this season and played 34 minutes in Monday's win. Given the back-to-back, the Bulls are likely given DeRozan a much needed rest day. Coby White and Derrick Jones Jr. should […]

Dejounte Murray Cleared For Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (migraine) will play Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Murray was experiencing some migraines heading into Tuesday, leading to a questionable tag on the injury report. However, Murray appears to have recovered enough to play through and will not miss any time due to the injury. Murray should see his […]

RJ Barrett Available To Play Against Magic

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) will play Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Barrett was a very last minute scratch on Sunday after feeling under the weather and was questionable Tuesday. Barrett will make his way into the lineup this time barring any unforeseen last-minute surprises. Immanuel Quickley will likely head back to the […]

Yuta Watanabe Will Undergo MRI Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Yuta Watanabe (back) is expected to go through a "precautionary MRI" on Wednesday.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) is expected to sit through the All-Star break and does not have a timetable to return.
