Isaiah Thomas Will Play Thursday, Sit Out Friday

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas (rest) will play Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors. It appears reporters had misheard the original comments, as Thomas will rest Friday night against the Indiana Pacers instead in the second night of a back-to-back. Season-long fantasy owners can start Thomas in their lineups, but […]

Rudy Gobert Doing Non-Contact Work; Ruled Out Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (knee) is still out for Friday night's contest against the Charlotte Hornets but appears to be on track of his original timeline of mid-January. Gobert went through the non-contact portion of practice Thursday and should be ramping up his activity in the coming days. Gobert would still need to go […]

Isaiah Thomas Resting Against Toronto

The Cleveland Cavaliers will rest point guard Isaiah Thomas Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors. Thomas recently came back from a hip injury which sidelined him for most of the season, and he appears to have a day off Thursday. The Cavs will likely start point guard Jose Calderon while Dwyane Wade and Lebron James […]

Kyrie Irving has Sloppy Game in London

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving managed to salvage his line on Thursday against the 76ers, finishing with 20 points, six rebounds and seven assists through four quarters. The downside is Irving shot 7-for-20 in the contest and also turned the ball over a game-high five times in this one. Uncle Drew failed to account […]

Jaylen Brown Scores Team-High 21 Points Against Philly

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown had himself a game in London, scoring a team-high 21 points on an effective 8-for-15, including two treys. Brown also pitched in with four boards and two assists, but really shined on defense with his three steals. Brown is notoriously streaky but has been pretty hot as of late (excluding […]

Jayson Tatum Solid in Win Against Sixers

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had another good game on Thursday, as the Celtics beat the 76ers in London, England. Tatum scored an easy 13 points on 7-for-13 shooting, adding one three-pointer in his 24 minutes. Tatum also helped out with four rebounds and two assists in the win. He didn't notch any defensive stats […]

Marcus Morris Heats up for 19 Points on Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris had a great game against Philly, sinking three triples on his way to an efficient 19 points (7-for-13). Morris was effective on the glass in this one, pulling down eight boards in his 24 minutes of action. Things got a little heated when Sixers point guard/forward Ben Simmons ran through […]

Al Horford Flirts with Triple-Double in London

Boston Celtics center/power forward Al Horford (knee) returned to action in England and played really well in retribution for the time lost. Horford scored 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting, including one triple in the comeback victory against the Sixers. He also looked like he could come away with a triple-double but ultimately fell short, as […]

Dion Waiters Expected To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Injury woes continue to plague the Miami Heat as guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) will have surgery on his left ankle and will miss the remainder of the season. Waiters received multiple opinions on the injury after missing nine straight games. In the absence of Waiters, Miami will continue to start Tyler Johnson at shooting guard and Josh […]

Kyle Lowry Officially Out Against Cavs

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (tailbone) is out Thursday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This comes as no surprise, as Lowry was doubtful coming into the night with a bruised tailbone. Point guard Delon Wright will make his second straight start, while Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell will get more run off the bench. […]

J.J. Redick Heats up Against the Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was feeling it in London, scoring 13 in the first quarter to end the game with an efficient 22 points (7-for-12). Redick knocked down five triples in the loss and was rebounding the ball very well on top of that, finishing with seven boards in his 30 minutes. He […]

Ben Simmons Scores 16 Points With Supporting Stats

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons played well in London against the Celtics, scoring 16 points on an above-average 8-for-12 shooting. Simmons wasn't his usual passing or rebounding self with only two boards and three assists in this one. The defensive numbers were there, however, as he came away with two steals and two blocks […]

Joel Embiid Posts Double-Double Against the Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid made the most of the international stage on Thursday, scoring 15 points on a less than efficient 6-for-17 shooting, while grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds in his 30 minutes on the court. Embiid was also showing off his passing skills in this one, pulling off a nice five assists from […]

Robert Covington's Slump Continues in London

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington's struggles persisted across the pond, shooting a lousy 2-for-8 from the field to finish with five points against the Celtics. Worse yet, Covington turned the ball over four times in this one while only adding three rebounds and one assist elsewhere. He has really had a tough time lately, but […]

Dario Saric Plays Well in London

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric was effective on Thursday against Boston despite struggling with his shot (4-for-11). Saric scored 14 points in the contest, to go along with four boards and three assists. He showed his usual active hands on defense as well and came away with two steals for his efforts. Sixers rookie guard […]

T.J. McConnell has a Nice Game on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard T.J. McConnell had a fine game off the bench in London, as he shot 6-for-11 from the field to score 12 points in his 26 minutes of action. McConnell was doing it out of the scoring column as well, racking up four rebounds and five assists in the loss to Boston. He […]

Blake Griffin Questionable for Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Blake Griffin (concussion) is questionable to play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. Griffin has missed the last two games, but both him and guard Milos Teodosic (foot) remain questionable heading into Thursday's matchup. Both players are likely heading towards game-time decisions, but the questionable tag means Griffin is at least […]

Milos Teodosic Questionable Against Kings

Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (foot) is questionable to play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. He's missed three straight games, but the official word from L.A. is questionable for Thursday. The Clippers are already without C.J. Williams (ankle), so having Teodosic would be a significant benefit. A return from Teodosic means Jawun Evans would […]

C.J. Williams Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard C.J. Williams (ankle) will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. Williams left the arena on crutches after Wednesday's victory over the Golden State Warriors. It's unclear how long Williams could be out, but it will mean more minutes for Jawun Evans and Tyrone Wallace. Lou Williams could see […]

George Hill Expected to Play Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard George Hill (personal) has rejoined the Kings after missing two games due to the birth of his child. Hill is expected to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. The return of Hill should mean less minutes for guys like De'Aaron Fox, Garrett Temple, Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Kings […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) will not play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Not too much information is known about Leonard's injury, but this will be his third straight game on the sidelines. Hopefully head coach Gregg Popovich will address the issue and give a timetable for Leonard's return. Rudy Gay […]

Tony Parker Won't Play Thursday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker (ankle) will not suit up versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. He sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Sacramento Kings. The Spurs tend to handle their older players with more caution, so it's not surprising to see Parker sitting this one […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) has been ruled out against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. He was originally listed as questionable but now has been ruled out well before game time. This will mark Green's fifth straight game on the sidelines, but he'll get another chance to play on Saturday versus the […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Questionable on Friday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (leg) is listed as questionable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Head coach Jeff Hornacek said it was "unclear" whether or not Hardaway would suit up against the 'Wolves. He scrimmaged for the second straight day on Thursday, but there is no clear indication when he'll […]

Kyle Lowry Doubtful on Thursday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (tailbone) is doubtful to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. The team hasn't officially ruled him out but are preparing to be without him versus the Cavs. If Lowry doesn't return on Thursday, then there is a good chance he misses Saturday's game against the Warriors, too. Delon […]

Tarik Black Ruled Out Friday

Houston Rockets forward/center Tarik Black (eye) will miss Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Black was wearing thick sunglasses after Wednesday's contest and it's unclear how long he'll be out. Nene Hilario (knee) won't play travel with the Rockets for their upcoming two-game road trip. That means Clint Capela will be seeing plenty of playing […]

Amir Johnson Ruled Out Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Amir Johnson (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is the Sixers only game of the week, so Johnson will have plenty of time to rest up. The Sixers don't play again until Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Joel Embiid is healthy, so Johnson would've seen […]

Kemba Walker Drops 41 Points In Loss to Dallas

Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker scored 41 points on 16-for-28 shooting Wednesday against Dallas. It's his second 40-point game and fifth 30-plus point outing this season. ''He does everything,'' Hornets associate head coach Stephen Silas said. ''He comes up with big steals. He goes for charges. He makes every big pick and roll play, every […]

Eric Gordon Continues Efficient Play

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon continues to thrive in the absence of guard James Harden (hamstring). Gordon played 33 minutes in the 121-112 win over the Portland Trail Blazers and scored 30 points. He was an effective 11-for-23 from the field and was relatively accurate from deep, finishing the night going 5-for-12. He also pulled […]

Chris Paul Dumps 37 Points on Blazers

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul was letting them fly against Portland on Wednesday night. Paul was a rough 13-for-29 from the field and an equally inefficient 3-for-11 from deep, finishing the night with 37 points. He also handed out 11 assists, pulled down seven boards and nabbed away three steals. Since the absence of guard […]
