Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb Playing Against Nuggets

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) will be on the court for Thursday's matchup with the Nuggets. Sabonis looked good playing on the ankle Wednesday and could be poised to exploit the Nuggets' small-ball four lineups. Lamb only played 19 minutes but racked up some nice stats, though Denver has […]

Zion Williamson Doubtful Thursday With Toe Injury

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (toe) is considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup with Miami. There was no word on when or if Williamson suffered an injury to his pinky toe- so this seems like a sneaky way for the team to get the second-year pro some additional rest ahead of his first All-Star game. […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play, Bam Adebayo Ruled Out Against Pelicans

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will play Thursday while Bam Adebayo (knee) has been ruled out against the Pelicans. Butler missed the last two games with some inflammation in his right knee- but returns just in time for an excellent matchup with the Pelicans, who have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points to small forwards. […]

Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb Expected To Play Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) are both expected to play on Thursday against the Nuggets. Sabonis was on the court for the first half of the back-to-back on Wednesday, producing an 18-6-5 line with a block and a steal. He should be in line for another good outing against […]

Kawhi Leonard Available, Paul George A Late Scratch

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is available Thursday, while forward Paul George (dizziness) won't play against the Wizards. Leonard needed just one game on the sidelines after being a late scratch himself with back spasms during the shootaround before Tuesday's game. He should be good to go with no restrictions in an excellent […]

Derrick Rose Won't Play, Elfrid Payton Available Against Pistons

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (health and safety protocols) won't suit up on Thursday against the Pistons. Rose missed Tuesday's game because of an inconclusive COVID-19 test, though he reportedly has since tested negative. Some teams are opting to hold out players who were in the protocols for conditioning reasons, so perhaps that's the […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Thursday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) will sit on Thursday against the New York Knicks. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his left quad, an injury that forced him to also miss Wednesday's outing against the short-handed Toronto Raptors. With his absence, look for Wayne Ellington and Svi Mykhailiuk to be the primary […]

Tyrese Haliburton Remains Out On Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) will sit out on Thursday against Portland. The rookie has missed his previous three games while dealing with soreness in his left calf, which will open the door for Cory Joseph to get some additional run. Joseph logged 34 minutes against the Lakers on Wednesday, finishing with 13 points […]

Buddy Hield Questionable Again

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Buddy Hield (ankle) has been classified as questionable for Thursday's outing against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 28-year-old had the same designation leading up to Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers but still managed to suit up, finishing with 29 points throughout 42 minutes of work. Though it would be surprising […]

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green Out On Thursday

Jerami Grant Could Sit Out Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks.

Derrick Rose, Elfrid Payton Questionable For Thursday

New York Knicks guards Derrick Rose and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Rose was forced to sit out of Tuesday's game after his COVID-19 test came back inconclusive. It's uncertain if he'll be allowed to suit up for this game. Payton has been sidelined for over […]

Jeremy Lamb Could Rest On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He played 19 minutes on Wednesday, but could sit out in this one since it's the last game before the All-Star break. His absence would likely mean more playing time for Edmond Sumner. Sadly, Sumner hasn't shown enough […]

Domantas Sabonis Questionable On Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He played 38 minutes on Wednesday despite being tagged as questionable before the game. However, the team might take the cautious approach here with the All-Star break this weekend. Jakarr Sampson and Goga Bitadze would likely split up […]

J.J. Redick Questionable Against Heat

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He scored 22 points on Wednesday, but the team might take the cautious approach with one game left before the All-Star break. Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would benefit from the loss of Redick. Hart is the […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Won't Suit Up Thursday

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He sat out of Tuesday's game due to an illness and he'll sit out the last game before the All-Star break too. Drew Eubanks and Luka Samanic have seen increased playing time lately. Samanic played well […]

Michael Carter-Williams Produces Full Line Against Hawks

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams produced a full line in a loss to the Hawks on Wednesday.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic dropped 29 points with nine rebounds, three assists, two triples, a block, and a steal in a 115-112 loss to the Hawks.

Stephen Curry Scores 35 Points In Wednesday's Losing Effort

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry dropped a game-high 35 points on 13-for-28 shooting against Portland on Wednesday, but his efforts weren't enough in a 108-106 loss. The former MVP added seven rebounds, five assists, and three steals with four turnovers in 36 minutes. Curry, who was 5-for-14 from deep, managed just 16 points […]

Carmelo Anthony Produces 22-Point Performance Off Bench

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony did some cooking in Wednesday's win over Golden State, racking up 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting in 32 minutes off the bench. He went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and added four assists and two rebounds. Melo has had his fair share of struggles as a bench scorer, but he's […]

Damian Lillard Pushes Blazers Past Warriors

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard had 22 points and nailed a couple of key treys late in the game, which led to a 108-106 win over the Warriors on Wednesday. He was horrible from deep all night but was there when the team needed him the most. Lillard ended up with a 3-for-10 […]

Victor Oladipo Continues Inefficient Scoring

Houston Rockets shooting guard Victor Oladipo recorded a season-high 33 points in Wednesday's loss to the Nets but did so with horrible 9-for-25 shooting from the field. He ended up with a nice 5-for-11 shooting from downtown but struggled everywhere else. Oladipo's line also included seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and two […]

John Wall Scores Season-High 36 Points
