Jamal Murray Considered Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) is probable for Friday's game against Miami.

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) will suit up against Detroit on Thursday.

However, they have been […]

Malik Monk On Track To Return Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (groin) will likely return to the lineup on Thursday against Houston, as the team lists him as probable for the contest.
