Connaughton will be Malik Beasley's backcourt partner, with Damian Lillard (groin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) unavailable.

Cade Cunningham A Late Scratch On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) was a late scratch for Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta.

Cade Cunningham, Marcus Sasser Cleared For Action

Detroit Pistons guards Cade Cunningham (knee) and Marcus Sasser (illness) have been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Hawks. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game. Sasser returns from a two-game absence, while Cunningham has been enjoying one of the strongest stretches of the season lately. He has gone […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Play On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers. He's nursing a hip problem and has played only four minutes across the past five games, meaning Smith Jr.'s absence won't change Brooklyn's plans much. Dennis Schroder will continue to dictate things on offense as […]

Cameron Johnson Available Against Indiana

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) has been upgraded from probable to available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers. Johnson has made only one appearance in the past five games, as health issues are threatening to ruin the final weeks of the regular season for him. Facing the Pacers puts Johnson in a good position […]

Jerami Grant Remains Sidelined Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out for a 12th consecutive game on Wednesday against Charlotte. He hasn't taken the court for three weeks, and it's beginning to look likely that we might have seen the last of Grant in 2023-24. Jabari Walker has moved into a starting role on the […]

Grant Williams To Remain In Starting Unit With Nick Richards Out

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) will make a second consecutive start on Wednesday against Portland. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the contest.

Anthony Davis, LeBron James Set To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers All-Stars Anthony Davis (knee) and LeBron James (ankle) will play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus Washington. Both saw less than 30 minutes of action on Tuesday against Toronto and should have some extra freshness from the lighter workload. The Wizards have one of the weakest defenses in […]

Patrick Beverley Out On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) will sit out Wednesday's matchup against Memphis. He injured his right ankle against Washington on Tuesday and exits the lineup after already playing with a wrist problem. The Bucks also won't have Damian Lillard (groin) on Wednesday, which leaves AJ Green and TyTy Washington Jr. as the lone […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Memphis on Wednesday. Milwaukee finishes off a back-to-back, and Giannis has been upgraded from probable to available.

Myles Turner Misses Wednesday's Game

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Nets.

Jaylen Brown Available Against OKC

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) will play against the Thunder on Wednesday. The C's have upgraded Brown from questionable to available. Brown was in danger of missing a second consecutive game. His return means Al Horford will have to make a trip back to the bench. However, the former Thunder player should still be […]

Jalen Duren Good To Go Wednesday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (tooth) will be available for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He lost a tooth and was limited to only five minutes against Memphis on Monday, but Duren isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup. The young big man has had an impressive campaign and should enjoy his battle with […]

Marcus Sasser Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup

Detroit Pistons point guard Marcus Sasser (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta. The rookie could be out for a third consecutive game with an upper respiratory illness. In Sasser's absence, Malachi Flynn has taken over a bigger workload. Flynn hasn't made a big impact, but he could become a viable fantasy option on […]

Nick Richards Back For Hornets Versus Portland

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) is on track to return to action Wednesday against Portland. He missed the last game against Boston with a foot problem but isn't on the injury report on Wednesday. Grant Williams (ankle) started in Richards' place against his former team on Monday. Richards will be licking his lips ahead […]

Matisse Thybulle Out On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) will be sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the Hornets. He's seen a total of 12 minutes of action across the last nine games as Thybulle continues to battle a right ankle injury. This will be the second consecutive game he misses. Kris Murray benefits from Thybulle's absence, but […]

Anfernee Simons Remains Unavailable For Portland

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) will be out of the lineup for a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Charlotte.

The 19-year-old […]

Anthony Davis Expected To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is expected to be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back against the Wizards on Wednesday. Davis recorded a 21-point, 12-rebound double-double with 10-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's 128-111 win over Toronto, logging 28 minutes of action. The veteran star missed the second leg of a back-to-back […]

LeBron James Likely To Play Versus Washington

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will likely play on Wednesday versus Washington. The veteran star, who continues to carry an ankle injury, skipped one game in a back-to-back situation a week ago, but Lakers head coach Darvin Ham expects to see him back on the court Wednesday night after James logged 29 minutes […]
