Robin Lehner Considered Day-To-Day

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner (lower body) is considered day-to-day after he missed Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Tampa.

Aaron Gordon, JaMychal Green Good To Go Against Thunder

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle, knee) will be available Wednesday night against the Thunder. The latter returns from a three-game absence. Oklahoma City is a weak defensive team that also doesn't rebound the ball well, so Gordon finds himself in a good spot to perform. Green is logging backup […]

Skylar Mays Gets His First Start On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Skylar Mays will record his first career start on Wednesday against Orlando. The Hawks are short of bodies because of the team's COVID-19 situation and it will give Mays an opportunity to impress.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tacko Fall will have a night to remember on Wednesday, as he'll record his first career start against Boston. This will also be the first appearance since Dec. 10 for the former Celtic. Cleveland is forced to go with Fall because all the regular bigs are in the league's health and safety […]

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will end an eight-game absence on Wednesday against Orlando.

The Magic […]

Damion Lee Enters COVID-19 Health And Safety Protocols

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee became the team's third player in health and safety protocols on Wednesday, joining Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.

Cade Cunningham Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham entered the league's health and safety protocols on Wednesday. The Pistons already lost Killian Hayes (illness) at the start of the week and Frank Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's clash with the Heat, so the backcourt looks extremely thin all of a sudden. Cory Joseph logged a start instead […]

Cole Anthony, Wendell Carter Jr. Out On Wednesday

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) won't play on Wednesday against Atlanta. Both guys were considered questionable for the contest, but they are now ruled out. Anthony will miss a third straight game, while Wendell Carter Jr. sits out a second consecutive matchup.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kevin Huerter will be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against Orlando because of health and safety protocols.

Cam Reddish should […]

Luke Kennard Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard (hip) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Kings. The 25-year-old sharpshooter has enjoyed a productive month by getting over 16 points per game, but he'll have to take a seat now with right hip soreness. With Reggie Jackson (health and safety protocols) also out, there are a lot […]
