Bogdan Bogdanovic Notches 20 Points In Wednesday's Victory

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic had a solid 20-point night against the Wizards on Wednesday, shooting 8-for-15 from the field and 4-for-10 from downtown in a 120-116 win. He also came up big on the defensive end with three steals and one block, while picking up three assists and two rebounds with one turnover. […]

Jonas Valanciunas Listed As Questionable Versus Kings

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned that he expected this to be a one-game absence when Valanciunas sat out on Tuesday. Despite that, the team is listing him as questionable heading into this game. Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke […]

Trae Young Flirts With Triple-Double Wednesday Night

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was close to posting a triple-double in Wednesday's 120-116 win over Washington, leading his team with 33 points and adding nine assists with eight rebounds and five turnovers. He struggled from deep with a 2-for-8 effort but shot a solid 12-for-25 overall from the field with a 7-for-7 record […]

Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Houston only has two games left on their schedule, so they have no incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent healthy. Kelly Olynyk should benefit the most from the […]

Robert Williams III Could Miss Some Playoff Action

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) did not suit up on Wednesday and is likely to miss the last few regular season games. Head coach Brad Stevens revealed that Williams received a cortisone shot for his turf toe injury, but it didn't help the pain. That is not good news since rest is really […]

J.J. Redick Done For The Rest Of The Regular Season

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick (heel) will be shut down until the postseason next week. The team is uncertain if he'll be ready to play in the playoffs, but he isn't a huge part of the Mavs rotation. The veteran guard is a nice source of triples off the bench, but won't make or break […]

Alex Caruso Won't Suit Up Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is not good news for the Lakers, but they likely want to be cautious with the playoffs starting next week. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Talen Horton-Tucker should see increased roles in the rotation. Both are worth a […]

De'Aaron Fox Continues Absence For Thursday’s Game

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (health protocols) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest versus Memphis. Fox has had a breakout season, averaging 25.2 points and 7.2 assists per game, but he has been sidelined since April 21 due to the league's health and safety protocols. With Tyrese Haliburton (knee) also down, Delon Wright […]

Pascal Siakam, Chris Boucher Ruled Out For Thursday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) and center Chris Boucher (knee) join teammates Fred VanVleet (hip), Kyle Lowry (rest) and OG Anunoby (calf) as significant absences for Thursday's game versus Chicago. Boucher played Tuesday without any of the aforementioned injured players and was the focal point of the offense; without him, Gary Trent Jr. […]

Fred VanVleet, Kyle Lowry, OG Anunoby Out For Thursday’s Game

The Toronto Raptors will continue to limb toward the finish line of the 2020-21 regular season with Fred VanVleet (hip), Kyle Lowry (rest) and OG Anunoby (calf) all ruled out for Thursday's contest against Chicago. With virtually none of the team's key players from earlier this year still in the mix, Gary Trent Jr. and […]

Joel Embiid, Matisse Thybulle Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) and small forward Matisse Thybulle (hand) have been designated as questionable to participate in Thursday's game versus the Heat. Embiid missed Tuesday's game with the illness, paving the way for Mike Scott to enter the starting five. Despite that bump in role, neither Scott nor Dwight Howard put together […]

Victor Oladipo Will Miss Remainder Of Season

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Victor Oladipo (quad) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2020-21 year due to a right quad injury. Oladipo appeared in just four games for the Heat since being acquired just prior to the Trade Deadline, having averaged 12 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Injuries have […]

LeBron James Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest

Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) will sit out Wednesday's game against Houston as he continues to nurse an ankle sprain. James has played just a combined 60 minutes over two games since sustaining the ailment back on March 20. Kyle Kuzma figures to see an elevated offensive role with James sidelined, […]

Anthony Davis Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Anthony Davis (groin) has been deemed unavailable for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets due to groin tightness. Davis reportedly picked up the injury while logging 43 minutes in Tuesday's win over New York, his second-highest total of time on the floor this season. L.A. has become familiarized with being supremely […]

Kyrie Irving Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (face) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to the facial contusion that he sustained Tuesday. Brooklyn has very little incentive to put Irving on the floor if he is anything short of 100 percent with the postseason looming; Landry Shamet figures to see the […]

Marcus Smart Out Against Cavs

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played 33 minutes on Tuesday, but it sounds like the Celtics are going to play it safe with the playoffs starting next week. He'll join a handful of his teammates on the sideline for this one. Evan […]

Kyrie Irving Might Sit Out Versus Spurs

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (face) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was elbowed in the face during Tuesday's contest, but left under his own power. James Harden (hamstring) is expected to return here, so he'd be asked to carry the load on offense. Mike James, Landry Shamet […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (groin) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It was reported earlier in the week that James was expected to return here. It's a great spot against the horrendous Rockets defense with Davis banged up. The Lakers want their superstars […]

Kemba Walker Resting Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest, knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so Boston is sticking with their plan of resting Walker. They don't want his knee issue to flare up before the playoffs, so this isn't shocking move by the team. Payton Pritchard […]

Nassir Little Questionable On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He exited after five minutes during Monday's game due to back spasms. The Blazers are probably going to let him rest with the playoffs starting next week. Derrick Jones Jr. should see more minutes coming his way, […]

Alex Caruso Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is dealing with a foot contusion and played only seven minutes during Tuesday's contest. LeBron James (ankle) is expected to return here, so the Lakers might decide to play it safe and rest Caruso. James would […]

Robert Williams III Sitting Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has now missed both sides of the back-to-back set due to a turf toe issue. The best way to heal this kind of issue is rest, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Williams sitting out […]

J.J. Redick Not Playing Against Pelicans

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran guard was only able to play two minutes on Tuesday before he was forced out due to a heel issue. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Mavs have Redick rest until the postseason. Jalen […]

Joe Harris Won't Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the first game of the entire season that Harris has missed. The playoffs start next week, so this is likely just the Nets giving Harris a rest day. James Harden (hamstring) is expected to suit […]

Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown picked up a 10-point, 13-rebound double-double in Tuesday's 122-106 loss to the Kings, shooting 3-for-7 from the field and 4-for-8 at the foul line. He also registered one steal and one block with three turnovers. Brown has had some big performances ever since entering the rotation in March, but […]

Delon Wright Enjoys Another Fine Night Versus OKC

Sacramento Kings point guard Delon Wright maintained his momentum in Tuesday's win over the Thunder with 21 points, eight assists, four rebounds and four steals, while shooting 8-for-11 from the field with a 5-for-7 mark from downtown. The 28-year-old has been huge for the Kings during the absences of De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton (knee). Wright […]

Terence Davis Matches Season High With 27 Points

Sacramento Kings guard Terence Davis led all scorers in Tuesday's victory over OKC when he matched his season high with 27 points on 9-for-15 shooting. He was 5-for-7 from behind the arc and 4-for-4 at the line in 31 minutes off the bench, notching five rebounds, three assists and two steals with two turnovers. That's […]

Chris Boucher Returns To Action With 16 Points, Seven Rebounds

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher logged 37 minutes in his first game since April 21 on Tuesday, leading the team with 16 points in a 115-96 loss to the Clippers.
