Allen Crabbe Expected to Return Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is expected to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He missed Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness. The Nets are one of the most cautious teams in the league when it comes to injuries. Brooklyn is not playing for anything, so Crabbe could very well […]

Jimmy Butler Could Return on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said there's a "chance" that Butler plays on Thursday, but it depends on how he feels in warmups. He was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, so it seems like he's been upgraded, which […]

Jeff Teague Remains Questionable on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed Sunday's game versus the Utah Jazz and is likely headed towards a game-time decision for Thursday. It's unclear how much playing time Teague will receive. He sometimes plays 20 minutes and other times plays 40-plus minutes. Tyus […]

Damian Lillard Ruled Out on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is considered day-to-day, but the Blazers want to be cautious as they head into the postseason. This injury is likely just a minor issue and if it was a playoff game, then Lillard would be […]

George Hill Ruled Out on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (ankle) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. This will mark his third straight game on the sidelines. The Cavs continue to be cautious with their players as they head into the playoffs. Jose Calderon (hamstring) has been fantastic in the absence of Hill but will join […]

Jose Calderon Won't Play Against Wizards

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Jose Calderon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Calderon has battled hamstring issues throughout his career, so having soreness is not surprising.

John Wall Will Play on Thursday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. However, Wall will rest on Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks.

Enes Kanter Could Be Done For The Season

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back) could be done for the season, according to head coach Jeff Hornacek. Kanter's back has been a lingering issue and the Knicks only have four games left.

Dirk Nowitzki Done For Remainder of The Season

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season after having left ankle surgery. However, the procedure was relatively minor and he should not be sidelined too long. This injury should not affect Nowitzki's decision to return for one more season. It sounds like Nowitzki is leaning towards playing one more […]

DeMarre Carroll Ruled Out on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (hip) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets are listing Carroll as day-to-day for the rest of the season. It would not be surprising if Carroll sat out the rest of the season since the Nets are not playing for anything. Carroll is a […]

Greg Monroe Drops 17 Points In 23 Minutes Off The Bench

Boston Celtics center Greg Monroe was part of a two-man bench mob with Marcus Morris on Wednesday, with the two combining for nearly half (38) of the team's points in a 96-78 loss to Toronto.

Patty Mills With An Inefficient 15 Points

San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills played 36 minutes in the 10-point loss to the young Lakers. Mills just couldn't hit his shots, connecting on only six of 16 attempts.

Fred VanVleet Continues Hot Shooting From Deep

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet had another great night from behind the arc in Wednesday's win over Boston, finishing with 3-for-6 shooting from deep. He shot 5-for-10 overall to pick up 15 points and added four assists with three rebounds. VanVleet has now shot at least 40 percent from downtown in seven straight games, […]

Dejounte Murray Sniffs Triple-Double In Loss

In the 10-point loss to the Lakers, Murray had 23 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block.

Kyle Lowry Keeps Struggling From The Field

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry continued his poor shooting streak on Wednesday against Boston, shooting just 2-for-7 from behind the arc. He did manage to get his shooting percentage up to a respectable 45.5 percent with other shots, scoring 13 points, but his recent form has been concerning, as he's gone 19-for-55 (34.5 percent) […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Pours In 28 Points

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge powered his team by shooting 12-for-20 from the field for a team-high 28 points. Aldridge knows he is the offensive centerpiece for this team, as he's taken at least 19 field-goal attempts in each of the last four games.

DeMar DeRozan Finishes With 16 Points In Low-Scoring Affair

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Contributes Across The Board

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope filled up the stat sheet in the win over the Spurs. Caldwell-Pope has always been known as a scorer and not much else, so a 21-point, six-rebound and six-assist game like Wednesday is quite the anomaly. This was actually his first 20-6-6 game of the season. The Lakers […]

Kyle Kuzma With Game-High 30 Points

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Kyle Kuzma flashed some of his scoring potential in his team's win over the Spurs. Kuzma hit 11 of his 23 shots, including 5-for-9 from deep for his 30 points, to go with five boards and a steal. Kuzma was leading the charge for this young Lakers team who were […]

MarShon Brooks Continues Good Comeback

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard MarShon Brooks continues to show that he can be a productive NBA player.
