Nerlens Noel To Make Return Friday

The Oklahoma City Thunder will get back center Nerlens Noel for Friday’s contest against the Miami Heat, an addition to the mix that comes with a bit of fortuitous timing, as Steven Adams (back) is set to miss the outing. Noel has been sidelined for each of the Thunder’s past six games due to an […]

Steven Adams Ruled Out For Friday’s Contest

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams will miss Friday’s game versus the Miami Heat due to a right knee contusion. Adams was forced from Wednesday’s contest against Toronto due to the ailment, so there’s little surprise that Oklahoma City would play it safe with their defensive anchor. With Nerlens Noel set to rejoin the rotation, […]

Jae Crowder Cleared To Suit Up Friday

Memphis Grizzlies small/power forward Jae Crowder has been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Friday’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers after a one-game absence due to right hip soreness.

Jrue Holiday, Kenrich Williams Will Miss Saturday’s Game

The New Orleans Pelicans will remain short-handed for Saturday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers with the trio of Jrue Holiday, Kenrich Williams and Jahlil Okafor all ruled out.

Paul George To Miss Fifth Straight Game Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Paul George has already been ruled out for Saturday’s game versus the New Orleans Pelicans as his strained left hamstring has not made enough progress for him to return to action.

Damian Lillard Picks Up Questionable Tag Friday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard now has his status up in the air for Friday’s game versus the Dallas Mavericks due to an illness.

Jarrett Culver Drops Team-High 17 Points In Defeat

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Jarrett Culver led his team in scoring for just the second time in his career during Wednesday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers with 17 points on 8-for-13 shooting.

Keita Bates-Diop Pours In 15 Points Across 17 Minutes Off Bench

Minnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Keita Bates-Diop delivered one of his better performances of the season off the bench despite playing only 17 minutes during Wednesday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Gorgui Dieng Logs Double-Double, Attempts Season-High 15 Shots

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng may not remain a fantasy commodity for much longer with All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns likely to return sooner rather than later, but Dieng again proved Wednesday that he has legitimate fantasy upside when given the chance to log consistent starters minutes. During his 29 minutes in a defeat to the […]

Malcolm Brogdon Packs Stat Sheet In 21-Point Effort

Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon collected 21 points in a second consecutive outing during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

[…]

Tristan Thompson Goes Scoreless In Loss Across 24 Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson failed to record a made field goal during Tuesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, marking the first time this season that he finished with a goose egg in that column with the last such instance coming April 5, 2018. The timing of the dud was particularly strenuous as the […]

Lou Williams Compiles 24 Points Across 20 Minutes

Los Angeles Clippers point/shooting guard Lou Williams has made a career out of scoring piles of points in a short span and Tuesday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers was no different: in just 20 minutes off the bench, Williams shot 10-for-13 overall en route to a 24-point showing. In his quest for a three-peat as […]

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Kawhi Leonard was utterly dominant during Tuesday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, collecting a season-high 43 points on 14-for-22 shooting.

D'Angelo Russell Scuffles From Field In 13-Point Outing

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell was thoroughly flummoxed by the Dallas Mavericks during Tuesday’s defeat, finishing 5-for-17 from the field overall, including going 0-for-6 from long range en route to 13 points.

Boban Marjanovic Logs Third Double-Double Of Season

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Contest

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis will miss his eighth consecutive game Tuesday versus the Golden State Warriors due to knee soreness. Porzingis was questionable throughout the day to suit up with Maximilian Kleber and Dwight Powell likely to continue seeing increased roles without Porzingis available. Dallas has been cautious with their big man, entering […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Likely To Remain Sidelined Wednesday

Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic has picked up a doubtful designation for Wednesday’s contest against the Dallas Mavericks due to ankle soreness that has sidelined for each of the team’s previous five games.

Mario Hezonja Questionable To Suit Up Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Mario Hezonja has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday’s game versus the Houston Rockets due to a lower back contusion.

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams has missed each of his team’s previous 11 games due to a shoulder sprain, but he has officially been tagged as questionable to play Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Christian Wood saw some increased run in his most recent outing due to the benching of Andre Drummond, but now has his status up in the air for Wednesday’s game versus the Boston Celtics due to knee soreness.

Memphis Grizzlies small/power forward Jae Crowder will be sidelined for Tuesday’s game versus the Houston Rockets due to hip soreness.

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable To Play Wednesday

Could Wednesday be the day that Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns returns to action?

Towns has missed each of the team’s past 14 games […]

Ante Zizic Unavailable To Play In Tuesday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic will join teammate Kevin Love on the sidelines for Tuesday’s game versus the Los Angeles Clippers as he deals with an illness.

Wilson Chandler To Miss Tuesday’s Game

Brooklyn Nets small/power forward Wilson Chandler will be sidelined for Tuesday’s contest against the Utah Jazz due to left hamstring tightness. Chandler has slotted into a reserve role of 20.3 minutes per contest over 12 games for Brooklyn since returning from a 25-game suspension that stunted his start to the year.
