Aleksej Pokusevski To Be Sidelined Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest with the Raptors. Pokusevski has entered the league's protocols, though it's unclear if he has the virus himself or was exposed. At any rate, he's likely to miss at least one half of the team's back-to-back on Friday […]

Kyle Lowry Won't Play Wednesday Against Thunder

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (foot) won't play Wednesday against Oklahoma City. Lowry was planning on suiting up but is dealing with a lingering foot infection, which didn't improve as much as expected overnight. The veteran guard did play in Monday's contest but saw just 24 minutes of action, shooting 3-for-8 from the field. Lowry's […]

Lonnie Walker IV Ruled Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Kings. Walker was listed as probable after missing the team's last four games with a wrist ailment, though he'll miss another one on Wednesday. Fortunately, he should have a good chance of suiting up for Thursday's game against […]

Chuma Okeke Delivers Solid Two-Way Effort On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Chuma Okeke impressed on both ends once again in a 103-96 win over the Clippers on Tuesday. Okeke scored 18 points with four rebounds, three steals, two assists, and a triple in 28 minutes. The 22-year-old is a sneaky post-trade deadline winner, as he has taken the majority of Aaron Gordon's minutes […]

Michael Carter-Williams Stuffs The Stat Sheet

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams stuffed the stat sheet in Tuesday's victory over the Clippers. Carter-Williams didn't impress in the scoring column, with eight points on 3-for-10 shooting, though he compiled nine assists, seven rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in 32 minutes. The 29-year-old didn't commit a single turnover, just the third time he's […]

Kawhi Leonard Drops 28 Points In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored 28 points with five rebounds, five assists, two three-pointers, and a steal in Tuesday's loss to the Magic. Leonard was very efficient once again, shooting 10-for-20 from the field while making 2 of 4 three-point attempts and all six free throws. The superstar forward has been a two-way […]

Nikola Jokic Records Second Straight Double-Double

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic notched his league-leading 42nd double-double in Tuesday's victory over the 76ers. Jokic compiled 21 points, 10 boards, and five assists in 34 minutes. As far as Jokic statlines go, this one was a bit empty with the lack of defensive statistics, plus he had six turnovers. Still, his efficiency has […]

Jamal Murray Excels On Both Ends In Tuesday's Win

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray was a two-way force in Tuesday's win over Philadelphia. Murray poured in a game-high 30 points on one end while recording three steals on the other end in 38 minutes of action. The 24-year-old shot 50 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from beyond the arc, adding six rebounds […]

Michael Porter Jr. Fills Up The Box Score In Win Over 76ers

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. did a little bit of everything for his team in a 104-95 win over the 76ers on Tuesday night. Porter scored 27 points with 12 rebounds for his second straight double-double, adding five triples, four assists, a block, and a steal in 36 minutes. He only attempted two free […]

Marcus Morris Sr. A Late Scratch Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic. Morris was a late scratch after his calf seemed to flare up, an ailment that forced him to miss a contest last week as well. Nicolas Batum and Patrick Patterson should see added minutes at the power […]

Zach LaVine Questionable, Garrett Temple Doubtful Against Suns

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is considered questionable to play on Wednesday against the Suns. Forward Garrett Temple (hamstring) is doubtful. LaVine appeared to tweak his sprained ankle during Monday's game- and indicated after the contest that he might have to sit out a game. Temple strained his right hamstring during the contest and […]

Coby White Questionable For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's battle with the Suns. White missed the first game of his career on Monday with neck spasms and was unable to practice on Tuesday, so he genuinely appears to be up-in-the-air for Wednesday. If White misses another game, expect Tomas Satoransky to […]

De'Andre Hunter, Lou Williams Out Tuesday Against Suns

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and guard Lou Williams (undisclosed) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Phoenix. Head coach Nate McMillan seemed to indicate that Hunter was on the right side of questionable, though he will sit out the contest as he still has swelling in his sore knee. Williams has yet […]

Terrence Ross Set To Make Return Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) will return to the court on Tuesday against the Clippers. Ross missed the last seven games with a sore knee, though his return comes at a good time for a Magic team that lost a huge chunk of scoring at the deadline. There's no word on if he'll have […]

Dwight Howard Enters Starting Five Against Nuggets

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard will be among the team's five starters for Tuesday's matchup with Denver. Forward Mike Scott was tabbed as Philly's starting center in each of the last two games following the Tony Bradley trade, though Howard will get his turn against MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. It's not an ideal matchup- though […]

Paul George Ruled Out Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Magic. It marks George's second straight absence, as he also missed Monday's game against the Bucks due to a sore foot. Forward Marcus Morris Sr., guard Reggie Jackson, and guard Luke Kennard scored 20-plus points with at least four […]

Tyler Duffey Makes Opening Day Roster Despite Spring Struggles

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Tyler Duffey has made the team's Opening Day roster. Duffey struggled this spring, allowing 15 hits, nine earned runs, and four homers across 6.1 innings pitched, though he did have a nice 10-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The 30-year-old saw a slight dip in fastball velocity in mid-March- but attributed it to his […]

Danilo Gallinari Set To Play Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against the Suns. Strangely enough, Gallinari was listed as out on Monday's injury report- but then left off the report on Tuesday- seemingly indicating that he'll be available. This is definitely a situation to monitor closely until tip-off, in case the Hawks pull a […]

Terrence Ross Listed As Probable Against Clippers

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is considered probable to play in Tuesday's contest against the Clippers. Ross has missed the team's last seven games, though he seems to be trending towards returning. It would be great news for a Magic squad that lost a large chunk of scoring at the trade deadline when core […]

Daniel Gafford Ruled Out Against Hornets

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets. The recently-acquired Gafford suffered the ankle sprain during Monday's game and couldn't return to the contest. He experienced some swelling postgame, which likely prompted the team to rest him for the second half of the back-to-back. Gafford's absence should […]

Bradley Beal Questionable For Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets. Beal missed the first half of the team's back-to-back on Monday, resulting in a monster game for Russell Westbrook. He suffered the hip injury during Saturday's game and wasn't able to return, so it's definitely more than just the Wizards being […]

Zach LaVine Aggravates Sprained Ankle Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) appeared to aggravate his sprained ankle during Monday's loss to the Warriors. LaVine said he rolled the ankle a little bit during the game and that he might have to take some time to rest it. That would seem to be for the best, given that it seems to […]

Luke Kennard Drops 21 Points With Five Triples In Spot Start

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard got the spot start on Monday with Paul George (foot) sidelined- and made the most of his opportunity. Kennard poured in 21 points, draining 5 of 6 attempts from beyond the arc. He added five rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes. Kennard's minutes have fluctuated over the last […]

Jrue Holiday Excels On Both Ends In Return

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday had a strong performance on both ends of the floor in his return to action on Monday. Holiday scored 24 points with seven assists, four rebounds, three triples, three steals, and a block in 35 minutes. It was a vintage performance from the 30-year-old, who registered 57.1/37.5/100 percent shooting splits […]

Kawhi Leonard Flirts With Triple-Double In Victory

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard filled up the box score in Monday's win over the Bucks. Leonard nearly notched a triple-double, scoring 23 points with nine rebounds and eight assists, chipping in two steals in 36 minutes. The All-Star forward missed all six three-point attempts, though it shouldn't overshadow his all-around solid effort. It […]

Andrew Wiggins Delivers Strong Two-Way Performance

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins put in a solid all-around effort in Monday's win over the Bulls. Wiggins dropped 21 points with five assists, three rebounds, three treys, two steals, and a block in 35 minutes of a 116-102 victory. The 26-year-old has now scored 20-plus points on at least 50 percent shooting from […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores Efficient 21 Points In 27 Minutes

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic enjoyed another efficient scoring performance in his second game with his new team. After dropping 21 points on 56.3 percent shooting in his debut, Vucevic poured in another 21 points on Monday, making 9 of 13 shot attempts from the field, rounding out his line with nine rebounds, six assists, […]

Stephen Curry Goes Off For 32 Points And Six Threes In Return

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry made a statement in his return from a tailbone injury on Monday night. After missing five games, Curry looked pretty darn good in his return, draining 6 of 14 shots from beyond the arc for 18 of his game-high 32 points. The superstar guard added six assists, five rebounds, […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Pulls Down 14 Rebounds In Cavaliers' Debut

Cleveland Cavaliers center Isaiah Hartenstein made his debut with his new team on Monday and was pretty impressive considering his opponent. Hartenstein took on Rudy Gobert- and struggled to just five points on 2 of 8 shooting, though he pulled down 14 rebounds and handed out seven assists while chipping in a block and a […]

Donovan Mitchell Stuffs The Stat Sheet In Just 25 Minutes

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell filled up the box score in just 25 minutes of a 114-75 win over the Cavaliers on Monday. Mitchell tallied 19 points with four assists, four triples, two rebounds, a block, and a steal. The star guard sat for much of the fourth with his team's sixth straight victory already […]
