Kristaps Porzingis To Miss Another Game Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis (back) will miss his fifth straight game on Wednesday against the Spurs. Porzingis continues to deal with a lingering back issue, and it's fair to wonder if the team will shut him down for an extended period to get him healthy again. Meanwhile, fellow forward Maxi Kleber (oblique) will also […]

Patrick Beverley Set To Play Against Clippers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is set to play and will start in Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Beverley looks set for a big role against his former team without D'Angelo Russell (ankle) in the lineup. The veteran guard is averaging 8.4 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 blocks per 36 minutes, meaning he could […]

Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (back), listed as probable, are available to play in Wednesday's game against the Nets. Young has been a little banged up to start the year, though it didn't affect him his last time out, as he dropped 26 points with six dimes while draining all 11 […]

John Collins To Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (foot), listed as a game-time call, will play Wednesday against the Nets. Collins was dealing with a left foot sprain, but will be healthy enough to suit up against a thin Nets frontcourt. The talented forward is averaging 15.4 points and 9.7 rebounds and will get an excellent matchup against […]

Matisse Thybulle In Wednesday's Starting Lineup

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle is in Wednesday night's starting lineup for the game against the Bulls. Down Tobias Harris and Danny Green (hamstring), the Sixers will turn to Thybulle- who is making his first start of the season. The 24-year-old offers excellent defensive upside, as he's averaging 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game […]

Nerlens Noel Set To Play Wednesday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee), who has yet to play this season, will take the court for the first time on Wednesday against the Pacers. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't specify whether Noel would see a full complement of minutes, though it would be surprising to see him thrown into the fire given […]

Lauri Markkanen To Miss Several Games

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen entered the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday and will miss several games. Markkanen did not participate in the team's shootaround and will not accompany the Cavs on their two-game road trip. In his absence Wednesday, forward Dean Wade will draw the start. Wade could be on the DFS radar […]

Russell Gage Limited Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. It's unclear when Gage sustained the injury, but it perhaps helps to explain his zero-target, zero-catch game last weekend against the Panthers. It's still a good sign that the 25-year-old is starting the week off in a limited fashion, as they'll […]

Cade Cunningham Struggles With Shot Once Again

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham struggled mightily in Tuesday's 117-89 loss to Milwaukee. Cunningham scored just six points on 2-for-14 shooting, including 0 of 9 on his three-point attempts, adding three assists and two rebounds in 29 minutes. It was another abysmal shooting performance for the number-one overall pick, but there were still some positives […]

Jerami Grant Enjoys Bounce-Back In Efficiency Tuesday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant put forth a much better performance efficiency-wise in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Bucks. After shooting 33.3 percent from the field in his last outing- Grant was much better, as he connected on 8 of 13 shot attempts while shooting 4-for-8 from deep for 21 points in 24 minutes. The […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Fills Up The Box Score In 27 Minutes

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a strong outing in just 27 minutes of a blowout win over the Pistons Tuesday. Antetokounmpo poured in 28 points with nine assists, eight rebounds, four blocks, and three threes, as he sat out much of the fourth quarter with his team in cruise control. Milwaukee also likely […]

Pascal Siakam Expected To Return Within Two Weeks

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder), who has yet to take the court this year, is expected to return within two weeks. Siakam has been working back into game action with the team's G-League affiliate and appears on track for a November return to the court. Injuries have been a problem for the 27-year-old, but […]

Joel Embiid Not Listed On Injury Report

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) wasn't listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls. Embiid has been dealing with a nagging knee injury, which has resulted in less aggressiveness from the big man on the offensive end of the floor. However, with Tobias Harris and Danny Green (hamstring) ruled […]

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Russell was limited to just 17 minutes after injuring his ankle Monday- and won't be healthy enough to suit up for the upcoming contest. Russell's absence should mean more ball-handling opportunities for Jordan McLaughlin and Malik Beasley- though much of the starting […]

Khris Middleton In Quarantine

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer informed reporters that forward Khris Middleton has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently in quarantine. Middleton was believed to have a non-COVID illness but he has contracted the virus, meaning he is likely looking at a couple of weeks on the sidelines. Middleton's absence will test Milwaukee's depth […]

Brandon Ingram Won't Play Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip), listed as questionable, has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns. It's not surprising to see Ingram ruled out for a second straight game, as he missed this morning's shootaround. The Pelicans will lean on Jonas Valanciunas, Devone' Graham (groin), and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, with Josh Hart […]

Bam Adebayo Set To Play Tuesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee), listed as probable, will play in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks. Not only will Adebayo be active, but he'll face off against the likes of Dwight Powell and Willie Cauley-Stein, with the Mavs down both Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Maxi Kleber (oblique). It could be a big scoring night […]

Josh Giddey Stuffs The Stat Sheet

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey produced a well-rounded fantasy line in Monday's loss to the Clippers. Giddey made just 6 of 15 shots from the field in a 15-point night, but it was his other contributions that stood out, as he chipped in seven assists, five rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one three-pointer. […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shines Against Former Team

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played a strong all-around game in Monday's loss to the Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander was the lone bright spot in a rough offensive night for the Thunder, as he scored a team-high 28 points with three triples on 47.8 percent shooting from the field, compared to his team's overall 38.9 percent […]

Paul George Leads Clippers To Win With Second-Half Explosion

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George led his team to a win over the Thunder on Monday night. George got off to a rough, 1-for-9 start from the field but exploded for 27 points in the second half, including two late threes to seal the victory over his former team. The two-way star finished the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Bounces Back In Loss

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns rebounded from a poor offensive night in his last outing in Monday's loss to the Magic. Towns uncharacteristically struggled from the free-throw line but was otherwise brilliant, scoring 23 points, with a season-high 16 rebounds, six assists, four triples, and a pair of steals in 37 minutes. The rebounds were […]

Franz Wagner Produces Career-Best Scoring Effort

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner had his shot falling in Monday's 115-97 win over the Timberwolves. Wagner was aggressive on offense, attempting 15-plus shots for the second consecutive game while pouring in a season-high 28 points with five triples. The 20-year-old rookie also filled up the box score in his 31 minutes of action, as […]

Cole Anthony Fills Up The Box Score In Victory

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony enjoyed a standout performance in Monday's victory over the Timberwolves. Anthony dropped a season-high 31 points to help lead Orlando to a win, scoring 14 in the final period to put the game away. The North Carolina product was a model of efficiency, as evidenced by his 47.1/54.5/81.8 percent shooting […]

Jae'Sean Tate Questionable Against Lakers

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's rematch with the Lakers. Tate picked up the ankle injury at some point during Sunday's loss to Los Angeles, as he was limited to just 18 minutes. If Tate misses the game, Eric Gordon and David Nwaba could see increased minutes. Coming off of knocking […]

Davis Bertans Questionable To Return

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (ankle) exited Monday's game with an injury and is questionable to return. Bertans attempted to dunk on Hawks' big man Gorgui Dieng but landed awkwardly on his left ankle, forcing him to the locker room. The 28-year-old could get treatment and return to the game after the halftime break- though […]

Anthony Davis Expected To Play Against Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee), listed as probable, is expected to suit up for Tuesday's rematch with the Rockets. Davis suffered the knee injury several days ago, and the ailment has led to his listing on each subsequent report- though it hasn't cost him any game action yet. The star center averages 24.7 […]

LeBron James Questionable Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Rockets. James has been dealing with right ankle soreness, though the issue didn't seem to hinder him during Sunday's win over Houston, so he should likely be out there for the rematch. The King has taken a usage […]

Devonte' Graham Questionable For Tuesday's Game Against Suns

New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte' Graham (groin) landed on Monday's injury report with left adductor tightness. Graham's presence on the injury report leaves his status for Tuesday's game against Phoenix, the first of a back-to-back set, up in the air. The Kansas product has dealt with groin injuries in the past- so the team could […]

Brandon Ingram's Status Up In The Air For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns. Ingram missed Saturday's contest against the Knicks with a right hip contusion, an ailment that could cost him another game, as head coach Willie Green noted that the injured area is still sore. If Ingram is indeed out, it could […]

Patrick Beverley Won't Play Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) will not play in Monday's game against the Magic. Beverley- who was a game-time decision after injuring his left calf on Saturday against Denver- was not deemed healthy enough to suit up for the contest with Orlando. The veteran guard's absence should free up added minutes in the backcourt […]
