Sam Bennett Returns To Panthers Lineup Saturday

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Tampa Bay. After scoring in back-to-back games, Bennett missed Thursday's matchup against Carolina with an undisclosed ailment. The 27-year-old centers the second line in Florida and will be joined by Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe on Saturday. Bennett has totaled 32 points […]

Ilya Samsonov Good To Go Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov will be between the sticks when the team hosts Carolina on Saturday. Samsonov's status for the game was initially thrown up in the air after he was hurt during the morning skate. The Russian netminder has been in spectacular form lately, turning his season around after getting waived and […]

Doug McDermott Remains Sidelined On Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will miss a ninth consecutive contest on Saturday against Brooklyn. The veteran sniper has returned to practice but isn't quite ready to get back to work yet following a calf strain. However, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has said that McDermott is getting close to his return, so he […]

Jabari Walker Listed As Doubtful For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) is on the injury report as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against New Orleans. The 21-year-old has been out for five games, but Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups noted earlier in the week that Walker's return is getting close. However, Saturday's game might come too soon for […]

Monte Morris In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. The veteran guard is dealing with hamstring soreness, which has already kept him out for three games. Since joining the T-Wolves in February, Morris has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 assists in 15.7 minutes. His absence has left […]

Kevin Huerter Questionable To Face Knicks On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kevin Huerter (leg) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Knicks. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive game with a right leg contusion. However, Huerter was a full participant in Friday's practice session, which is a good sign regarding his availability. Huerter's return will likely send Keon Ellis back […]

Cam Reddish Will Remain Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) will remain out on Saturday against Golden State. Reddish is nursing a right ankle sprain and won't be in the lineup for a third consecutive game. Spencer Dinwiddie has a chance to log extra minutes off the pine without Reddish. He's getting a big opportunity to impress, but […]

Anthony Davis Probable To Face Warriors

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to play against the Warriors on Saturday. The All-Star big man has collected a probable tag for the contest. Davis is set to feature in an 18th consecutive game, and he will have plenty to prove after getting outplayed by Domantas Sabonis in the previous matchup. […]

LeBron James Questionable To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's big clash with Golden State. The NBA's all-time leading scorer continues to carry a left ankle problem, but he's missed only a handful of games over the last couple of months. In the last game against Sacramento, James even logged 40 minutes. It's a […]

Lamar Stevens Set To Miss Third Consecutive Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (groin) will remain out for a third consecutive game on Saturday against Oklahoma City. Following a string of solid performances, Stevens picked up an adductor strain, leaving Memphis without another frontcourt option. The trio of Trey Jemison, GG Jackson II, and Jake LaRavia has put in a lot of work […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play Against Utah

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (illness) will sit out Friday's game against Utah. The talented scorer played through an illness Wednesday versus Portland but won't be able to do the same in Friday's matchup, with the team downgrading him from questionable to out. Bogdanovic also struggled against the Trail Blazers with 3-for-15 shooting, so it's […]

Jalen Johnson Back On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) will return to action on Friday against Utah. Atlanta's rising star will be back after missing three games with a right ankle sprain. Johnson only recently faced the Jazz and had a great night with 22 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, and one steal. We could see something similar […]

Vince Williams Jr. Doubtful For Saturday's Action

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will likely remain sidelined for Saturday's meeting with the Thunder, as the team considers him doubtful for the game. The 23-year-old is set to miss a fourth straight game with left patellar tendonitis. Luke Kennard, John Konchar, and Jake LaRavia have taken on larger roles during Williams Jr.'s […]

Scotty Pippen Jr. Questionable To Face Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City. After being out for a month with a back problem, Pippen Jr. made his return to the lineup in Wednesday's clash with Charlotte, but he's picked up a new ailment. The 23-year-old has landed on the injury report with […]

Santi Aldama Questionable For Saturday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (elbow) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder. After making 16 consecutive appearances, Aldama missed Wednesday's matchup against Charlotte with a sore left elbow. His absence provided a further boost to GG Jackson II's growing fantasy stock. The 19-year-old rookie led his team with 26 points against the […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Iffy For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) might be out for another game on Saturday against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year has already been unavailable for the past two games. Trey Jemison has picked up a pair of […]

Desmond Bane Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's clash with the Thunder. It's a sign Bane could be ready to rejoin the action after missing two months with a left ankle sprain. Bane will likely be eased into action once he's back in the lineup. But […]

Dean Wade Available To Return On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (personal) is expected to return to action in Saturday's matchup against Houston. Following a three-game absence, Wade rejoined practice on Friday and isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game. With Evan Mobley (ankle) missing from the frontcourt, Wade made two consecutive starts before exiting the lineup for personal […]

Max Strus Sitting Out Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) won't be available for a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Houston. He's been kept off the court by a right knee strain. Isaac Okoro should continue to play a larger role with Strus on the shelf, although the return of Donovan Mitchell limits his impact on the offensive […]

Marvin Bagley III Set To Miss Sixth Consecutive Game

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) won't be ready to return to action on Saturday against Chicago. The 25-year-old will miss a sixth consecutive game due to lower back spasms. Luckily for the Wizards, Richaun Holmes (toe) looks to be on the mend and a possibility for Saturday's matchup after being tagged as questionable […]

Landry Shamet To Remain Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Chicago. He's dealing with a calf strain, meaning it's looking likely Shamet won't be available for Sunday's clash with Boston either. With Tyus Jones (back) and Deni Avdija (knee) also possibly out on Saturday, Washington's rotation could look very unusual. […]

James Harden Remains Out On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be […]

Eric Gordon Returns To Suns Lineup Friday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) will return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Charlotte. The veteran sniper has recovered from a left knee contusion. Gordon's addition boosts the quality of Phoenix's second unit, which remains without Josh Okogie (abdomen). The 2017 NBA Sixth Man of the Year has been in a shooting slump […]

Joel Eriksson Ek To Remain Out On Saturday

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) hasn't traveled with the team to St. Louis, meaning he will miss a second consecutive contest on Saturday against the Blues. Minnesota's first-line center, who has posted 60 points (29 goals, 31 assists) in 66 appearances this season, was injured earlier in the week in a clash […]

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Records Fifth Shutout Of Season

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen had a perfect game against the Islanders on Thursday, completing a 4-0 win with his fifth shutout of the season. The 25-year-old stopped 21 shots to become the fourth netminder in the league with at least five shutouts this season. Four of Luukkonen's shutouts have come since Jan. 14. He's […]

Frederik Andersen Shuts Out Panthers With 21 Saves

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen collected his first shutout of the season on Thursday in a 4-0 win over Florida. Andersen stopped one of the league's hottest teams from scoring with 21 saves. This was only the third start for Andersen since his return from a blood clotting problem. He's won all three contests, putting […]

Brayden Point Ties Lightning Record With Six-Point Outing

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point had an extraordinary game against the Rangers on Thursday, tying a franchise record with six points in a 6-3 win. He notched his fourth career hat trick and dished out three assists, with four of the points coming in the third period when Tampa Bay had fallen 3-2 behind. […]

Adam Boqvist Injured Versus Senators

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist was limited to only 1:12 of ice time on Thursday versus Ottawa due to an upper-body injury. Boqvist has played a big role for Columbus lately, even seeing action on the first power-play unit, but it looks like he could be out for a bit again. Health issues have […]

Radko Gudas Exits With Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas sustained an upper-body injury against Minnesota on Thursday and had to exit the game early. The hard-hitting rearguard lasted just five minutes in the contest, and his exit left the Ducks without one of their most effective players. Gudas leads Anaheim with a plus-12 rating and is once again among […]

Calle Jarnkrok Set To Miss "Some Time"

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Calle Jarnkrok suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's win over Philadelphia and is expected to miss time. "It looks like he's going to miss some time, but we're not going to know the extent fully until we get back home," said Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe after Thursday's game. Toronto […]
