Tate also missed the […]

Max Strus Listed As Probable For Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus (shoulder) is regarded as probable for Thursday's clash with the Clippers.

[…]

Kawhi Leonard Won't Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out Thursday's matchup against the Heat. This is an expected move, as the team completes a back-to-back set.

Boston Bruins left wing Taylor Hall was the most productive player in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Colorado, scoring two of the goals and handing out one assist.

He netted the team's first goal in the second period when the Blue Jackets were already down 6-0, and Laine also had the team's third goal. These were his only shots on target in the game.

Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig (groin) will be back from a three-game absence Wednesday against Boston. He suffered a right groin strain at the start of the month but is now ready to play again.

Javonte Green Could Miss Another Game

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Javonte Green (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Herbert Jones In Doubt For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Herbert Jones (ankle) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against Detroit.

Jones has been enjoying a solid campaign, averaging 10.6 points per game with 3.7 rebounds, […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Ruled Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and forward/center Anthony Davis (illness) won't play Wednesday against Toronto.
