Denver Nuggets guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee) is probable for Saturday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs.

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (foot) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic due to a right plantar fascia strain, extending his absence to nine games.

Brandon Ingram is Back on Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (heel) is back on the court ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ingram is back in the starting five after sitting out Wednesday's game due to left heel inflammation.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Out Friday Against Toronto

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) will not play in Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to lower-back soreness. Taylor Hendricks could step into a larger role and is worth a look in deeper leagues after starting a recent game against Phoenix and finishing with five points, two rebounds, and one three-pointer in 18 […]

Michael Porter Jr. Won't Return This Season

Marvin Bagley III to Miss Third Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, marking his third straight absence.

Gafford […]

Walter Clayton Jr. is Ruled Out on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Terance Mann is Returning on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann (Achilles) has been removed from the injury report and is back in action ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Sims grabbed 20 rebounds with six points and […]

Miles McBride is Available on Friday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (pelvis) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
