Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Utah. He was initially on the injury report as doubtful but will end up missing a seventh consecutive game.

Maxi Kleber Considered Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is on the injury report as probable ahead of Thursday's clash with Miami. He missed one game last week, but Kleber has been fairly durable since returning from a toe injury in mid-January, and it looks like he will be good to go against the Heat. Kleber has been […]

Luka Doncic Listed As Probable For Meeting With Heat

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is considered probable for Thursday's matchup against Miami. He's been carrying the probable designation for a while, but the MVP candidate has had no issues playing and logging big minutes -- Doncic has seen the court for 40-plus minutes in back-to-back games. The Slovenian superstar has also continued to […]

Paul Reed Back In Starting Five Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed will return to the starting five on Wednesday versus Memphis. Reed has been Philadelphia's main starting center since Joel Embiid (knee) dropped out of the lineup, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse had preferred to run Mo Bamba with the starters in the previous three games. Bamba hasn't done much […]

Dean Wade Promoted To Starting Unit Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will join the starting lineup for Wednesday's battle against Atlanta. He's taking over from Evan Mobley (ankle), who was injured on Tuesday against Boston.

Bennedict Mathurin Ruled Out For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) won't take the court Thursday against the Timberwolves. He has been ruled out with a right shoulder sprain. Mathurin has previously been dealing with a foot issue, so the 21-year-old appears to be quite a bit bang up entering the final stretch of the season. Ben Sheppard is poised […]

Doug McDermott To Remain Out On Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against Minnesota. The 32-year-old sharpshooter is trying to recover from a right calf strain. The Pacers miss McDermott's ability to stretch the floor, but his return to Indianapolis hasn't gone well. McDermott has been limited to only 3.2 points […]

Jeff Green Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Houston Rockets forward/center Jeff Green (knee) won't be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back set against the Clippers on Wednesday.

Green logged only six minutes against San Antonio on Tuesday […]

Jabari Smith Jr. Good To Go Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against the Clippers. The talented Auburn product has been battling an illness and initially landed on the injury report with a questionable tag, but he has been upgraded to available. However, how effective Smith Jr. can be remains to be seen. He already struggled […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana. The four-time All-Star misses a dream fantasy matchup with left knee soreness.

Dalen Terry Sits Out Wednesday's Game For Personal Reasons

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Dalen Terry (personal) won't be available for Wednesday's matchup against Utah. He has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a personal matter.

Kobe Bufkin Remains Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (toe) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Cleveland. He has hurt his left big toe and is currently missing a good opportunity to work as Atlanta's backup point guard behind Dejounte Murray. Trent Forrest filled the role on Tuesday versus the Knicks and had five points and […]

Jonathan Isaac Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards.

Caleb Houstan saw a big […]

Walker Kessler Remains On The Shelf Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (foot) won't be available for a fourth straight game on Wednesday versus Chicago. The big guy from Auburn continues to nurse a right foot sprain.

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) won't have a reunion with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, as he has been ruled out for the game.
