Josh Giddey Still Out Friday

Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) has been listed as out for Friday's contest against the Orlando Magic.

With him out, Tre Jones and Collin Sexton have led the Bulls' backcourt and remain outstanding fantasy options on Friday. The two […]

Mitchell Robinson Sidelined on Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has a scheduled maintenance day on Friday and won't play against the Toronto Raptors.

Norman Powell Won't Play Against Wizards

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (groin) will be sidelined on Friday against the Washington Wizards. He has a sore right groin and will be held out of action after Powell logged 17 minutes in Thursday's loss to Toronto.

Tyler Herro Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) won't be in action on Friday against the Washington Wizards. He has been ruled out for the second game of a back-to-back due to a sore right foot.

Julius Randle Misses Second Straight Game

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (hand) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday night against the Houston Rockets. He is bothered by soreness in his right hand. Kyle Anderson replaced Randle in the starting unit on Wednesday against Orlando and is likely to keep his spot on Friday. The 32-year-old contributed in […]

Jayson Tatum Won't Play Friday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. His absence was expected because Boston also played on Thursday night.

Trey Murphy III Unavailable Against Celtics

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (ankle) won't be in the lineup on Friday against the Boston Celtics.

Dejounte Murray Remains Out Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday against the Boston Celtics.

Zion Williamson Won't Suit Up Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (knee) is listed as out for Friday's meeting with the Boston Celtics.

Donovan Mitchell Skips Friday's Action

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) won't suit up on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavaliers will be without their top scorer for the second time in three games.

Nikola Jokic Questionable for Friday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is considered questionable for Friday's tilt against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
