Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) is probable for Sunday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is expected to make his third consecutive appearance.

Kevin Huerter Active on Saturday Night

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Kevin Huerter (back) will play in Saturday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The team has upgraded Huerter from questionable to available.

Due to Jalen Smith's (concussion) return on Saturday, Huerter may drop to the […]

Jalen Smith Back for Bulls Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (concussion) will return to action on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old has missed a pair of games after suffering a head injury and landing in concussion protocol.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (illness) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
