Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant made it back-to-back 30-point games for himself when he had 35 points on 11-for-25 shooting in Thursday's narrow loss to Milwaukee.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Questionable Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) has been listed as questionable Thursday against the Suns.

With Stephen Curry (rest) and Draymond Green (rest) already out, Oubre could […]

Al Horford To Rest Against San Antonio

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford (rest) won't suit up Thursday against the Spurs. Horford will get his usual rest on the second night of a back-to-back.
