Aleksej Pokusevski Will Sit Second Straight Game Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) will not play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.

Luguentz Dort To Sit Wednesday Against Warriors

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

The injury report is listing this as […]

Gorgui Dieng And Trey Lyles Remain Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs big men Gorgui Dieng (shoulder) and Trey Lyles (ankle) remain out against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. This comes at no surprise as the two have not been given a timetable to return and were on the outskirts of the rotation anyways. Jakob Poeltl and Keldon Johnson will continue to man the […]

Trae Young And Danilo Gallinari Questionable Thursday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (calf) and forward Danilo Gallinari (foot) are both listed as questionable against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Young is considered to be closer to returning than Gallinari at this point, but both seem to be making strides to getting back to the court. Brandon Goodwin has been solid as […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Nicolas Claxton and Jeff Green will get extended […]

Kawhi Leonard Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is dealing with right foot soreness and it appears to be an issue that could sideline him. Luckily, the team believes it's only a day-to-day type of issue. Luke Kennard, Terance Mann, and Marcus Morris […]

Terry Rozier Probable Versus Cavs

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sat out the first game of the back-to-back set, but it sounds like he's ready to get back on the court. His return could mean slightly less minutes for Devonte' Graham. Both Brad Wanamaker and Cody Martin […]

P.J. Washington Sitting Out On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He suffered a sprained right ankle during Sunday's contest, so the team will remain cautious here. Cody Zeller is expected to draw the start, while Miles Bridges gets more playing time as well.

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin Ruled Out For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Nets will be cautious here. LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) is going to be out as well, which leaves the Nets a bit shorthanded. Nicolas Claxton […]

Fred Vanvleet, Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guards Fred VanVleet (hip) and Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The good news is that Vanvleet appears to be over his hip issue, but now he must serve his one-game suspension. The Raptors are resting Kyle Lowry and Trent is unable to play […]

Kyle Lowry Resting Again

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's quite odd that Lowry is sitting out both games of the back-to-back set. Possibly, Lowry is dealing with a minor injury, but regardless the Raptors are going to be shorthanded for this contest. Malachi Flynn should […]

Deandre Bembry Ruled Out On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Deandre Bembry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He joins a long list of fellow teammates who are going to be sidelined for this game. That means, Malachi Flynn is going to see all the minutes he can handle. Flynn is basically a must-have DFS […]

Jimmy Butler Struggles From Field Versus Suns

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler had a tough time on Tuesday against the Suns, shooting only 6-for-16 from the field in 32 minutes of action. He still managed to lead the team in points with 18, but it was a heavy 106-86 loss for the Heat. Butler went 2-for-6 from deep and 4-for-5 at […]

Deandre Ayton Fills Stat Sheet In Limited Minutes

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton logged only 27 minutes in Tuesday's dominant 106-86 victory over Miami, but it was enough to produce a good-looking fantasy line with 19 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block.
