Marc Gasol Hopeful To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been diagnosed with a fractured finger on his left hand. However, Gasol believes it won't be much of an issue because it is on his left hand, which he doesn't use as much. Andre Drummond […]

Alec Burks Won't Play Friday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He'll sit this one out due to the NBA's health and safety guidelines. It's uncertain when Burks will get back on the court, so he has become a cut-candidate in some formats. Reggie Bullock has more upside and […]

Stephen Curry Stays Hot With 33 Points Against Cavaliers

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has been on a tear throughout April. He's scored over 30 points in each of his seven games and is averaging 39.0 points and 6.4 threes per game through the month.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox led all scorers with 27 points in Thursday's 122-114 loss to the Suns, shooting 0-for-4 from downtown but a solid 11-for-21 from the field and 5-for-7 at the charity stripe.

Kemba Walker Gets Back To Efficient Scoring

He ended a five-game run of shooting below 50 percent from the field, adding seven assists and a pair of rebounds […]

Jaylen Brown Racks Up 40 Points With Great Shooting

Brook Lopez Has Double-Double Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's win over the Hawks. Lopez now has at least 18 points and eight rebounds in the past two games. The veteran is averaging 11.5 points and five rebounds per game this season but he hasn't been […]

Clint Capela Notches Double-Double Against Bucks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela finished with 16 points, 16 rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Bucks. Capela has now recorded a double-double in the last nine games, a remarkable feat. The 26-year-old is averaging 15.4 points and 14.2 rebounds per game this season. He has a […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Goes For 28 Points Against Bucks

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 28 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Bucks. Bogdanovic is averaging 13.6 points per game but has been on a roll recently, posting at least 21 points in five of the past six games. Given his recent groove, […]

Collin Sexton Available Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is available to play in Thursday's game against the Warriors. Sexton was a late scratch Wednesday, so no one would have blamed Cleveland for sitting him Thursday, though he'll make his return after a three-game absence. His return will mean fewer chances for Darius Garland and a return to […]

Luguentz Dort Left Off Friday's Injury Report

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (shoulder) was left off of Friday's injury report, seemingly indicating that he'll be available for the tilt against the Pistons. Dort missed a game with a sore shoulder, though he was excellent in his last time out, exploding for a career-high 42 points and seven threes. He's an intriguing […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aleksej Pokusevski Out Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) and forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) are both out for Friday's game against the Pistons. Gilgeous-Alexander remains out with plantar fasciitis- and it wouldn't be entirely surprising to see the team shut him down for the remainder of the season with little left to play for. Pokusevski's absence should […]

Lonzo Ball Listed As Probable For Friday's Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Wizards. Ball has missed the last four games with a hip injury, though it sure seems like he'll be back in action against Washington. With Nickeil Alexander-Walker (ankle) sidelined, Ball could be in line for a fair amount […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Suiting Up, Donte DiVincenzo Out

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is suiting up for Thursday's game against Atlanta. Guard Donte Divincenzo won't be joining him on the court, as he is set to miss his first game with a sore toe. Antetokounmpo makes his return to the hardwood after a six-game absence against a favorable opponent in the Hawks, […]

Tobias Harris, Dwight Howard Questionable For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) and center Dwight Howard (knee) are questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. Harris seems more likely to go than Howard, who missed the team's last contest. If the veteran big man can't play- Joel Embiid would see all the minutes he can handle- with Mike Scott perhaps backing […]

Trae Young A Game-Time Call, Danilo Gallinari Out Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (calf) will be a game-time call for Thursday's matchup versus the Bucks. Forward Danilo Gallinari (foot) has been ruled out for the contest. Both players were thought to be trending towards playing, though Gallinari will be forced to miss his third consecutive game. Young seems like he's going to miss […]

Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee To Be Rested Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (rest) won't play in Friday's game against the Thunder. Center Mason Plumlee (rest) and guard Wayne Ellington (rest) will also take a seat on the bench for the first half of a back-to-back as the 16-39 Pistons opt to throw in the towel for a game. Isaiah Stewart should see […]

Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby Resting Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest), forward Pascal Siakam (rest), and forward OG Anunoby (rest) will all be taking a seat for Friday's contest against the Magic. The Raptors have been conservative with their core players lately, particularly Lowry, who is set to miss his third straight game due to rest. Fred VanVleet, who is […]

Kawhi Leonard Questionable, Paul George Off Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers. Forward Paul George (rest) was left off the injury report- and will be available for the contest. Leonard has missed each of the last three games, and George would be in line for heavy usage if the former is forced […]

Nerlens Noel Expected To Play Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, which forced Taj Gibson into the starting five. However, Gibson played well, but won't have much fantasy value off the bench. Norvel Pelle saw minutes in the teens […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against Warriors

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's game, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another game. The Cavs aren't playing for much, so they don't have any incentive to rush Sexton back on the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Rest Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He sat out of Wednesday's game and could sit out here as well for precautionary reasons. The Bucks don't have much of an incentive to put Antetokounmpo out there at less than 100 percent. Bobby Portis and Pat […]

Donte DiVincenzo Listed As Questionable Versus Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played 23 minutes on Wednesday, but none of the starters played heavy minutes due to the fact it was a blowout. His absence would mean more minutes for Bryn Forbes and Pat Connaughton. Neither player has tremendous […]
