Jeff Green Good To Go Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green (back) will play Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Green was questionable coming into the contest with lower back soreness, but the ailment won't keep him out of the game. With Rodney Hood moving into the starting lineup for J.R. Smith (suspension), Green will have an opportunity for more usage […]

J.R. Smith Out Thursday Due To Suspension

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith (suspension) will sit out Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Hood will be a great value play for Thursday night's […]

Skal Labissiere Probable Against Brooklyn

Sacramento Kings forward/center Skal Labissiere (ankle) is probable to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. This is a new injury for him, but hopefully it's nothing too serious. He likely suffered it on Tuesday during his six-point dud versus the Blazers. At least this injury is not about his nagging shoulder issue. Labissiere should be […]

Jahlil Okafor Ruled Out Thursday

Brooklyn Nets center Jahlil Okafor (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This marks his fifth straight game on the sidelines, but he's not part of the Kings rotation when healthy. The Nets have been using Dante Cunningham more at the center spot. Okafor was hopeful for a fresh start […]

Jeff Green is Questionable on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed Tuesday's game, which marked the first game all season that Green has been sidelined. He played in each of the Cavs first 59 games prior to Tuesday. Cedi Osman should see a few extra minutes if Green […]

Ersan Ilyasova is Available on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Ersan Ilyasova will be available to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. He signed his contract on Wednesday, but is familiar with the team after a stint with Philly last season. It's unclear how head coach Brett Brown plans to use Ilyasova. It's difficult to imagine Ilyasova being able to take […]

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Lonzo Ball Will Start Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball will start against the Miami Heat on Thursday. Josh Hart (wrist) is out, so it's not too surprising Ball will move back into the starting lineup.

Avery Bradley Could Miss Rest of The Season

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) could miss the rest of the season. "Right now, we're just taking it day by day, trying to be smart about this injury," Bradley said.

LaMarcus Aldridge Likely Having MRI

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) could have an MRI on his right ankle Thursday. He left Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans early and did not return.

James Harden Leads Rockets In Scoring Against Clippers

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 25 points on Wednesday night, including a three-pointer that featured Wesley Johnson falling down followed by Harden stepping back and waiting a few seconds before taking the shot, as the Rockets beat the Clippers.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 14 points in a loss to Toronto on Wednesday. Vucevic has yet to reach the output before he was injured, but the one thing he has been is consistent.

Manu Ginobili Rolls Back the Years on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili finished February off in style, dropping 17 points on the Pelicans in 20 minutes off the bench.

Dejounte Murray Fills Stat Sheet in Spurs Loss

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray had his best scoring output since January 23 on Wednesday against the Pelicans, going for 18 points on 8-for-15 shooting.

Aaron Gordon Posts Double-Double

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon had 11 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday in a loss to Toronto. Gordon was listed as questionable before the game, and it showed. He took just nine shots, six of which were three-pointers. He finished 4-for-9 from the field and 1-for-6 from three. It's a far cry from where […]

E'Twaun Moore Scores 17 Points Versus Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard E'Twaun Moore, who started off February with a 26-point game at OKC, also ended the month with a nice outing, recording 17 points against the Spurs.
