Bulls Want To Extend Daniel Theis

Chicago Bulls center Daniel Theis has certainly made an impression on the team since being acquired at the trade deadline. The veteran center has started each of the last two games. Head coach Billy Donovan is hopeful that the organization is able to extend Theis this offseason. One of the main reasons the Bulls got […]

Luguentz Dort Could Miss Sunday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has scored 68 points combined over the last two games, but is in danger of sitting out here. Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) is listed as probable, but has missed the last five games due to arm soreness. […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Questionable For Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has missed the last five games due to arm soreness, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sitting out again here. Isaiah Roby would see more minutes without Pokusevski available, but Moses Brown is the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Removed From Injury Report

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He sat out of Saturday's game, but it appears he'll be good to go for this one. The Raptors are without a handful of players, so Trent should see plenty of shots […]

James Ennis Out Against Rockets

Orlando Magic forward James Ennis III (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is dealing with right calf soreness and is unable to suit up here, but will hopefully be available next game. His absence means more playing time for Dwayne Bacon, Terrence Ross and R.J. Hampton. Out of […]

Zion Williamson Drops 34 Points In Losing Effort

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson led all scorers with 34 points in Sunday's overtime loss against the Knicks, shooting 13-for-23 from the field and 8-for-11 at the foul line. He came just short of a double-double by finishing with nine rebounds, five assists and two steals. Zion will roll out against the Nets […]

Derrick Rose Notches 23 Points Off The Pine

New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose turned back the clock on Sunday, delivering a nice 23-point performance off the bench in a 122-112 overtime win against the Pelicans. He finished with 9-for-17 shooting from the field and had five assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block with two turnovers in 35 minutes. Rose, […]

P.J. Washington Questionable Against Portland

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Portland. The 22-year-old has been dealing with a right ankle sprain that has cost him his previous three contests. With Cody Zeller getting a DNP on Friday night, Jalen McDaniels and Vernon Carey Jr. could be in store for additional run against […]

Julius Randle Records Fourth Consecutive 30-Point Game

New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle led the charge offensively once more on Sunday, finishing a 122-112 overtime win against New Orleans with 33 points on 11-for-28 shooting. He's the first Knicks player since Carmelo Anthony in February 2014 to post four consecutive 30-point games. The first-year All-Star added 10 assists, five rebounds and […]

Fred VanVleet Sitting Against Oklahoma City

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (hip) won't play against Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old will get to sit this one out as he works his way back to full strength from a hip flexor strain that cost him seven games. With Kyle Lowry (rest) also out on Sunday, look for Gary Trent Jr. and Malachi Flynn […]

Malcolm Brogdon Paces Indiana With 29 Points

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon had a very good offensive outing in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, notching a team-high 29 points on 11-for-18 shooting. He shot 3-for-7 from three-point range and 4-for-4 at the line with eight assists, three rebounds and one block in 31 minutes. Brogdon did, however, end up with a minus-28 […]

Kyle Lowry Resting Against OKC

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest) will not play against Oklahoma City on Sunday. The veteran will get another night off to rest, his fourth straight absence, as the team looks toward the draft and the 2022 campaign. With Fred VanVleet (hip) also out, expect Malachi Flynn and Gary Trent Jr. to get plenty of […]

Clint Capela Has 20-20 Vision Versus Indiana

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela recorded a 20-20 game in Sunday's win over Indiana, going for 25 points on 10-for-17 shooting and grabbing 24 rebounds. The Swiss big man added three blocks and two steals while shooting 5-for-9 at the foul line. Capela now has four games with 20-plus boards this season. Tuesday's meeting with […]

Trae Young Scores Game-High 34 Points In Sunday's Win

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young posted his fourth 30-point effort of the month on Sunday, leading all scorers with 34 points on 9-for-21 shooting in a 129-117 win over Indiana. He struggled to get his shots to drop but was a decent 3-for-9 from behind the arc and shot 13-for-14 from the line. Young […]

OG Anunoby Out Against OKC

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (rest) won't play again on Sunday against OKC. The 23-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Friday night against Orlando and will now miss his second straight as the team looks toward the draft and next season. With Kyle Lowry (rest), Fred VanVleet (hip), and Pascal Siakam (shoulder) out as well […]

Pascal Siakam Won’t Play Against OKC

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) will not play on Friday against Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old is currently dealing with left shoulder inflammation and will now miss his second straight outing. With Fred VanVleet (hip), OG Anunoby (calf), and Kyle Lowry (hip) all out as well, look for Malachi Flynn, Chris Boucher, and Khem Birch […]

Mo Bamba In Danger Of Sitting Again

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's encounter with Houston. The big man has been dealing with a left hip contusion, an ailment that caused him to miss the team's previous two games against Chicago and Toronto. Without Bamba in the lineup, expect Wendell Carter Jr. to get more […]

Kevin Durant Out For Remainder Of Sunday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) will miss the remainder of Sunday's matchup against Miami. The veteran was observed favoring his left leg on his way back to the locker room, with a thigh contusion being the official diagnosis. This could have been worse, but it's still not welcome news, especially since Durant just returned […]

Jimmy Butler Now Day-To-Day

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is out on Sunday against Brooklyn. The veteran has been playing through a right ankle sprain, but with the postseason around the corner, the team opted to play it safe by holding him out. He is considered day-to-day moving ahead, so fantasy managers in the playoffs of season-long leagues […]
