Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris Sr. Available To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) and Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) are available to play Saturday against the 76ers.

Al Horford To Sit For The Rest Of The Year

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford will sit out the remainder of the season. This wasn't particularly surprising, given Horford's frequent rest this year. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's plantar fasciitis may have forced the Thunder into making this decision sooner than they would have liked- though the team gets to see what they have in their young […]

Zach LaVine Suiting Up Against Spurs

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) will suit up for Saturday's contest with the Spurs.

Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness) and center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Pelicans.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday Ruled Out

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) was downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Knicks. Guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will also sit out the contest.

Julius Randle Out, Derrick Rose Available Against Bucks

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Bucks.

Bradley Beal Available To Play Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (foot) is available to play on Saturday against the Pistons.

Luka Doncic Questionable For Saturday's Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Kristaps Porzingis Doubtful For Saturday

Julius Randle Might Sit Versus Bucks

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (thigh) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Dennis Smith Jr. Could Miss Significant Time

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (spine) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He is dealing with bilateral lumbar soreness, which is not exactly something he can play through. The organization has not given a timetable for his return, so expect Smith to miss multiple games. Saben Lee and Cory […]

Khris Middleton Ruled Out For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Bucks are going to play it safe here. The absence of Middleton will mean more playing time for Pat Connaughton and Bryn Forbes. Both players seem to […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. The Bucks are already shorthanded, but it's unlikely that the team pushes Antetokounmpo out there unless he's 100 percent healthy. His absence would make Pat Connaughton a favorable streaming choice and popular DFS option on Saturday.

Orlando Releases Jeff Teague

Point guard Jeff Teague is set to become a free agent after having been released by the Magic shortly after his acquisition in the Evan Fournier deal.

Houston Expects To Have Kevin Porter Jr. Back Saturday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr. (quad) has been upgraded to probable to play in Saturday's contest versus Minnesota after missing the previous three outings due to a sore right quad.

Semi Ojeleye Will Miss Second Straight Outing

Boston Celtics small/power forward Semi Ojeleye (side) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder due to a strained left side, marking his second consecutive absence.

Jaxson Hayes Picks Up Questionable Tag For Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes (wrist) has been listed as questionable to play in Saturday's game versus the Mavericks due to a sprained right wrist.

Lonzo Ball Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (hip) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Saturday's game versus Dallas due to a strained hip flexor.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Drops 15 Points In Loss

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. was asked to play a bigger role on Friday with Luka Doncic (back) sidelined.

Kristaps Porzingis Has Monster Game In Losing Effort

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis was asked to carry the load on offense with Luka Doncic (back) sidelined on Friday.

Caris LeVert Cools Off Versus Mavs

Indiana Pacers guard Caris Levert came into Friday's game red-hot after two solid performances, but couldn't replicate it versus the Dallas Mavericks.
