James Harden On Pace To Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) said after Sunday's practice that he's on pace to play in Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar guard has been sidelined since November 3rd due to a right foot sprain. There is no word on whether or not Harden will be limited during his first game back. […]

Alex Caruso Questionable For Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as probable on Saturday, but it appears things have changed. His absence would likely result in Ayo Dosunmu moving into the starting five. A move to the starting unit would boost Dosunmu's value, but it's […]

Mikal Bridges Available On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. His games-played streak will live on as he has been officially cleared for this contest. Damion Lee and Landry Shamet will serve their normal roles off the bench, but neither player has much streaming appeal. Bridges is providing […]

Doug McDermott, Josh Richardson Out On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs forwards Doug McDermott (ankle) and Josh Richardson (ankle) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. McDermott will miss his second straight game after suffering an ankle injury on November 30th. Richardson has missed the last six games and the rebuilding Spurs are in no rush to bring him […]

Anfernee Simons Explodes For Career-High 45 Points

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons had the night of his life Saturday versus Utah, scoring a career-high 45 points in a 116-111 win.

Andrew Wiggins Scores Season-High 36 Points

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins looked like prime Michael Jordan against the Rockets on Saturday, racking up a season-high 36 points in a 120-101 win. He went a sensational 8-for-10 with the three-ball and shot 14-for-19 overall from the field. Wiggins also recorded five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block with one […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Returns With A 33-Point Effort

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returned from a one-game absence Saturday and went off for 33 points on 10-for-17 shooting in a 135-128 win over Minnesota.

Pascal Siakam Gets A Double-Double With Assists

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam posted his eighth double-double of the campaign in Saturday's win over Orlando, tallying 26 points and 10 assists.

Terry Rozier Delivers 26 Points Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier finished Saturday's 105-96 loss to Milwaukee with a game-high 26 points on 10-for-21 shooting. It was a solid night for him despite Rozier hitting only 1-for-7 from downtown. His line included five rebounds and four assists with four turnovers in 36 minutes. With the Hornets having suffered a number of […]

Bobby Portis Leads Bucks To Victory Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis was the star man in Saturday's 105-96 win over Charlotte, leading the team with 20 points and adding eight rebounds and a career-high seven assists. He struggled from downtown with a 1-for-5 record but shot well overall, going 9-for-18 from the field. Portis got a chance to shine because Milwaukee […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Hits Knicks With Eight Treys

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. dropped eight three-point bombs on the Knicks in Saturday's 121-100 win. He showed no mercy towards his former team, shooting 10-for-17 overall from the field and bagging 28 points in just 28 minutes. The 30-year-old sniper added seven rebounds, one assist and one steal with one turnover. Hardaway Jr. […]

Juancho Hernangomez Exits With An Ankle Sprain

Toronto Raptors forward/center Juancho Hernangomez sprained his right ankle in Saturday's battle with the Magic and had to exit the game after logging only five minutes. Fortunately, his x-rays came back negative and it's possible that Hernangomez will be game-ready Monday versus Boston. The team officially regards him as day-to-day. Hernangomez broke into the rotation […]

Jeremy Sochan Out Versus The Suns On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (quadriceps) remains out for Sunday's meeting with Phoenix. Doug McDermott (ankle) hasn't been in the lineup either, opening the door for Keita Bates-Diop to get some additional work. Bates-Diop has averaged 13.3 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 42.1% from behind the arc in his seven starts this season, […]

Jakob Poeltl Remains Out Versus Phoenix

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (knee) won't suit up against the Suns on Sunday because of a bone bruise in his right knee. The 27-year-old has been banged up recently and is now in line to miss his third consecutive contest. Fortunately, the Spurs won't play again until Thursday versus Houston, so there's a […]

Torrey Craig Sidelined For Meeting With The Spurs

Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig (groin) won't play on Sunday versus the Spurs, marking his second straight absence because of a groin strain. The 31-year-old has played well in place of Cameron Johnson (knee) this season, averaging 8.8 points, 5.6 boards, and 1.2 blocks in 13 starts. Dario Saric filled in for him on Friday, […]

Mikal Bridges Probable Against San Antonio

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) is expected to play on Sunday against San Antonio. Bridges tweaked his knee in Friday's meeting with the Rockets but still finished with 22 points, eight rebounds, and a steal in 37 minutes. With that in mind, unless Bridges' condition takes a turn in the wrong direction, he should […]

Chris Paul Won't Be Back On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) won't play on Sunday against the Spurs. Paul has been out for nearly a month with heel soreness, and with no end in sight, Cameron Payne should remain in the starting rotation. Payne had 20 points, 12 assists, and four steals versus the Rockets on Friday night, so he […]

Herbert Jones Sitting Again Versus The Nuggets

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (ankle) is out again on Sunday against Denver. The 24-year-old missed the team's previous game because of a sprained left ankle, so his next chance to see action will come on Wednesday versus Detroit. With Brandon Ingram (toe) sitting as well, Trey Murphy III should continue to roll with […]

Brandon Ingram Out Against Denver

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (toe) won't play on Sunday versus Denver. The 25-year-old will now sit out his fourth straight contest because of a left great toe sprain. As a result, Trey Murphy III is expected to remain in the starting lineup. The 2021 first-round pick has played well in his 10 starts […]

Jeff Green Questionable Against The Pelicans

Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup versus New Orleans. The veteran has missed the previous five games because of a right knee contusion, allowing Vlatko Cancar and Zeke Nnaji to get some extra minutes in the rotation. Green has averaged 7.9 points and 2.6 boards, so he won't offer […]

Michael Porter Jr. Sitting Again On Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is out on Sunday versus New Orleans, marking his sixth consecutive absence. Denver next's matchup after this one will be on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks, although it's unknown if he'll be ready to go for that one. That said, until Porter returns, Bruce Brown should continue to […]

Kevin Huerter Suffers Injury On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) picked up an injury during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 24-year-old suffered a sprained ankle in the third quarter, but returned to the contest after getting it re-taped. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, four assists in 30 minutes of action. It sounds like Huerter […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Play Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The star guard sat out of their last game due to a hip contusion. His absence opened up more playing time and chances for guys like Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams and Tre Mann. All of them should go […]

Mike Conley Remains Sidelined For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This comes as no surprise considering Conley hasn't played since November 19th due to a left popliteus strain. The rebuilding Jazz really have no reason to rush the veteran guard back onto the court. In the meantime, […]

Eric Gordon To Sit Out On Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's no surprise to see the Rockets resting the veteran guard during the second night of a back-to-back set. Kenyon Martin Jr. and Tari Eason are the two players that will likely gain the most value with […]

Jordan McLaughlin Available On Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 26-year-old is back in the rotation after missing the last six games due to a left calf strain. His return will mean less playing time for Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell. However, neither player was much of a […]

Markelle Fultz Remains In The Starting Five

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz will start during Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is a bit surprising after seeing Fultz play 30 minutes during Friday's contest. Clearly, the Magic believe the 24-year-old is healthy enough to play in back-to-back sets. Normally, the Magic would rest or limited the oft-injured guard in this situation. […]

Jordan Poole Delivers 30 Points Off The Bench

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole had a sizzling performance in Friday's 119-111 win over Chicago, leading all scorers with 30 points off the bench. He needed just 23 minutes of action to match his second-highest scoring effort of the season, shooting 11-for-18 from the field and an outstanding 7-for-13 from downtown. Poole completed his […]

Devin Booker Remains Red-Hot Versus Houston

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker had another superb scoring performance against Houston on Friday, notching 41 points in a 122-121 loss. He nailed half of his eight attempts from deep and shot 15-for-25 overall from the field with a 7-for-10 record at the foul line. Booker was also able to register four rebounds and eight […]

Zion Williamson Dominates Against The Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson was a force of nature against the Spurs on Friday, racking up 30 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block in a 117-99 win. He shot 9-for-14 from the field and 12-for-13 at the charity stripe. Zion now boasts three 30-point double-doubles from his past five […]
