Evan Bouchard Tallies Three Assists Sunday

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard collected an assist on all of the team's goals in Sunday's 5-3 defeat to Ottawa. He helped Adam Henrique to notch an early goal and posted a pair of power-play assists in the second period when Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman scored. Bouchard became the second blue-liner in franchise history […]

Jonathan Drouin Wraps Up Three-Point Effort With Game-Winner

Colorado Avalanche left wing Jonathan Drouin completed his first three-point performance of the season with the game-winning goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime victory against Pittsburgh. He had two goals and one assist as the Avalanche produced an extraordinary comeback from a four-goal deficit. Drouin has been on a heater lately, registering three consecutive multi-point games […]

Charlie Lindgren Shuts Out Jets

Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren kept the Jets grounded on Sunday, recording a 27-save shutout in a 3-0 win. It's his fifth shutout of the season, which puts Lindgren tied for the third spot in the league behind Arizona's Connor Ingram and Pittsburgh's Tristan Jarry. Lindgren has given a major boost to the Capitals, who […]

Tage Thompson Continues Hot Stretch Versus Calgary

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson recorded a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-1 road win against Calgary. He assisted JJ Peterka on the game-winning goal in the middle of the third frame and produced one of Buffalo's two empty-net goals. Thompson has been extremely sharp offensively lately, going on a five-game scoring streak and […]

Desmond Bane Questionable For Meeting With Denver

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (back) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Monday's matchup against Denver. After missing two months with a sprained ankle, Bane is now dealing with a sore back, which could keep him out for a second consecutive game. Following his long-awaited return, the Grizzlies star played in only three games […]

Matisse Thybulle Questionable To Face Rockets

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Houston. He's played in only one of the last five games and is dealing with a right ankle issue. Thybulle's injury has left Portland without a defensive expert, who averages 1.8 steals per game. Rayan Rupert's role has grown during Thybulle's absence, […]

Jontay Porter Remains Absent On Monday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Jontay Porter (personal) won't be in the lineup for a second consecutive game on Monday versus Brooklyn. Porter has broken into the rotation lately but is currently away from the team to deal with a personal matter. Starting center Kelly Olynyk will carry a heavy load without him, while bigger contributions are […]

Jabari Smith Jr. Suspended For Monday's Game

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. will miss Monday's game against Portland with a suspension. He was handed a one-game suspension for his altercation with Utah's Kris Dunn on Saturday. Smith Jr's absence will be a major blow for the playoff-chasing Rockets, who have racked up eight consecutive victories. Following Alperen Sengun's (ankle) injury, Smith […]

Lauri Markkanen Carrying Questionable Tag Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) is seen as questionable for Monday's game against Dallas. Following his return from a quadriceps injury, the team has kept Markkanen out from a couple of games for injury management purposes. Considering he didn't play on Saturday versus Houston, it's likely Utah's top scorer will suit up on Monday, […]

Jordan Clarkson Questionable On Monday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Mavericks. He's been out for six games with a groin strain, but it looks like Utah's microwave scorer could be back in the lineup on Monday. The comeback would come at a good time because the Jazz have just lost Kris Dunn […]

Kris Dunn Suspended For Two Games

Utah Jazz point guard Kris Dunn has been suspended for two games. He's received the punishment for getting into a scuffle with Houston's Jabari Smith Jr. on Saturday night, with fists being thrown. The suspension forces Dunn to miss Monday's matchup versus Dallas and Wednesday's clash with San Antonio. He will be eligible to return […]

Josh Okogie Makes His Comeback Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will rejoin the action on Saturday against San Antonio. He last played on March 2, missing several weeks with a lower abdominal strain. Okogie's return is good news for the Suns, as it gives the team a versatile player to use in the rotation. However, he's been a non-factor […]

Jusuf Nurkic Ready For Action On Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (eye) will be in the lineup on Saturday versus Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Phoenix's starting center has been upgraded from probable to available. Saturday will mark Nurkic's 14th consecutive appearance. He's been quiet offensively this month and will likely also find it tough on the attacking end against Wembanyama, […]

Alex Caruso Officially In On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) will make a 12th consecutive appearance on Saturday against the Rockets, as the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Caruso's role on offense has taken a hit with Coby White's return, but he's on a nice four-game run with multiple steals and continues to provide value for […]

Coby White Playing With Increased Minutes On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) has been cleared to play against Boston on Saturday and will have his minutes increased. After sitting out three games due to a hip strain, White logged 29 minutes versus Houston on Thursday, coming off the bench for the first time this season. It looks like he will be […]

Omer Yurtseven Sits Out Saturday

Utah Jazz center Omer Yurtseven (ankle) won't be in action against Houston on Saturday. He's dropping out of the lineup after having one of his best games of the season. With John Collins (face) unavailable, Yurtseven logged 21 minutes against Dallas on Thursday and had 12 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Collins will be […]

John Collins Good To Go On Saturday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (face) will play against Houston on Saturday. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Collins returns from a one-game absence, pushing Walker Kessler back to the bench. It's been a strong month for Collins, as the former Hawk has averaged 16.8 points and 8.5 rebounds with 1.5 blocks. […]

Sasha Vezenkov Remains Sidelined Saturday

Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's tilt against Orlando. The 28-year-old has been nursing an ankle injury for over a month but isn't still quite ready to make his comeback. His next opportunity to return comes on Monday versus Philadelphia. Vezenkov has only played a small […]

Gary Harris Unavailable On Saturday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) won't play against Sacramento on Saturday. The veteran made an early exit on Thursday versus New Orleans and has been downgraded from a questionable status ahead of Saturday's action. Caleb Houstan will cover for him in the starting unit. The 21-year-old has received multiple opportunities as a starter in […]

Matisse Thybulle Listed As Questionable Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Nuggets. Due to right ankle impingement, he might be absent for a third consecutive game. Thybulle's absence opens up minutes for Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert, who will also benefit from Anfernee Simons' (knee) exit […]

Deandre Ayton With Doubtful Tag Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) could miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Denver after the team listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Ayton was a late addition to the injury report on Friday ahead of a meeting with the Clippers and couldn't go due to a left elbow problem. […]

Jerami Grant Considered Doubtful Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's meeting with Denver. He missed a sixth straight game on Friday versus the Clippers, and it looks unlikely Grant will be ready to return to the lineup against the defending champions. Toumani Camara and Kris Murray should continue to benefit from […]

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play Against Charlotte

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will sit out Saturday's game against Charlotte. The team listed Okongwu as doubtful on the initial injury report, so he was always likely to miss the game. With Okongwu sidelined, Bruno Fernando is set to fill the minutes behind starting center Clint Capela. It's a wonderful matchup for Atlanta's […]

Anfernee Simons Misses Saturday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against Denver. He was on the injury report with a left knee injury ahead of Friday's clash with the Clippers and ended up exiting the game early because of a knee ailment. Simons' absence will likely lift Dalano Banton back into […]

Jamal Murray Ruled Out For Saturday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's contest against Portland. A left ankle injury brings an end to Murray's run of 13 consecutive appearances. Reggie Jackson should take over as the starting point guard. The veteran has had 16.1 points and 5.4 assists in 16 previous […]

Nikola Jokic Won't Play Against Trail Blazers

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland. The team has downgraded him from a questionable status. Jokic sits out only his third game of the season. With backup center Zeke Nnaji (groin) also unavailable, we should see DeAndre Jordan moving to the starting unit, while Peyton Watson […]

Al Horford Questionable To Face Bulls

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Chicago. He's strained his left big toe and might be absent for a second consecutive contest. Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Saturday's game, meaning Boston will be desperate to have Horford available. If he can't go, it […]

Jrue Holiday Out On Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against Chicago on Saturday. The veteran sits out a fourth consecutive game. With Holiday missing, Payton Pritchard has strung together a nice run of good performances and should contribute well again on Saturday in a good matchup. The Bulls struggle to guard the three-point line, giving up […]

John Collins Questionable To Play On Saturday Versus Houston

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (face) has been labeled as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Houston. Collins is still dealing with the facial contusion he suffered when Anthony Edwards posterized him on Monday. He played the next game against the Thunder on Wednesday but was absent when the team also took the court on Thursday […]

Jordan Clarkson Sits Out Sixth Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Saturday against the Rockets. He's nursing a groin strain, and the team has no reason to rush him back after Utah decided to pull the plug on the season. With Clarkson out of commission, Kris Dunn has received a larger role on […]
