Oshae Brissett Out With An Illness

Boston Celtics forward Oshae Brissett (illness) won't be available for Thursday's clash with the Knicks.

Brissett's absence means very little, as he has averaged only 7.8 minutes per game for the month. He will have […]

Larry Nance Jr. Won't Play On Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (personal) won't be available on Thursday versus Sacramento. He comes out of the lineup for personal reasons after playing in each of the last 12 games.

Alex Caruso Ready To Face Detroit

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has received the all-clear for Thursday's matchup against Detroit. The team has upgraded him from probable to available.

Ayo Dosunmu Remains Out On Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) will be sidelined for a second consecutive game on Thursday versus Detroit. After playing some excellent ball in recent weeks, Dosunmu has suffered a quadriceps contusion, and the team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Javonte Green will carry extra fantasy value as Dosunmu's replacement in the starting […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. Good To Go Thursday

Jrue Holiday Cleared To Play Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will play against the Knicks on Thursday.

Simone Fontecchio Remains Sidelined Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) has been ruled out for a 13th straight game on Thursday versus Chicago.

Chimezie […]

Cade Cunningham Carries Questionable Tag Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Andre Drummond Doubtful For Thursday's Action

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is considered doubtful to play against the Pistons on Thursday.

Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis have the most to gain […]

Markelle Fultz Good To Go Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Bucks. He has been upgraded from questionable to available.

Franz Wagner Remains Out On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner has been ruled out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He was initially listed as questionable for the contest.

De'Andre Hunter Rested Versus Hornets

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (rest) will miss Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

He's sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report.

Terry Rozier Misses Second Consecutive Game

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (neck) will remain out on Wednesday against Dallas. The team has downgraded Rozier from questionable to out, meaning he misses a second consecutive game.

Trae Young Returning With Minutes Restriction

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (finger) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against Charlotte but will carry a minutes restriction.
