Eric Gordon, Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out Against Nets

Houston Rockets forward Eric Gordon (knee) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) are both out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Gordon will miss his second straight game as he deals with left knee soreness, and with the All-Star break so close, the Rockets won't be taking any chances. House also being ruled out means […]

Kawhi Leonard Questionable, Marcus Morris Doubtful

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is questionable, while forward Marcus Morris is doubtful for Thursday against the Wizards. Leonard was a late scratch on Tuesday after experiencing back spasms during the team's shootaround, while Morris suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Celtics and is unlikely to suit up. Paul […]

Tobias Harris Will Play Against Jazz

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) will take the court against the Jazz. Harris went from questionable to probable ahead of the team's 7:00 tip-off with Utah, all but confirming that the 28-year-old would be available. Harris tested the knee in warm-ups and came out of it free of any setbacks- he'll return to the […]

Jerami Grant, Josh Jackson Ruled Out Against Raptors

Detroit Pistons forwards Jerami Grant (quad) and Josh Jackson (illness) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Toronto. Grant went from questionable to doubtful, so he was trending in the wrong direction. Jackson is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness- and he won't play in the first half of his team's back-to-back. That leaves the […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable For Thursday's Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable for Thursday's contest with the Pelicans. After a two-game absence, Butler is making the trip with the team, which is probably a good sign for his status against New Orleans. Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic, and Duncan Robinson have all shared the load in Butler's absence, with Tyler […]

C.J. McCollum Still Without A Timetable For Return

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (foot) said that he's still without a timetable for his return to the court. McCollum broke his foot in a January 16 game against the Hawks and said that his evaluation on Tuesday was "how they expected it to be." The veteran guard did note that he's slowly progressing […]

Derrick Rose Could Return Thursday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose could return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons. Rose missed Tuesday's game against San Antonio because his COVID-19 test was inconclusive, though multiple tests have since come back negative. The veteran guard has been cleared to fly back to New York and could be back on the […]

Buddy Hield Questionable Against Lakers

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield (ankle) is questionable to play against the Lakers on Wednesday night. Hield suffered the ankle injury late in Sunday's game against the Hornets and was held out of Tuesday's practice. The veteran guard insisted that he'll be ready for the game against the Lakers, with head coach Luke Walton noting […]

Jeff Green, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Ruled Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (shoulder) and guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) have been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets. Both Green and Luwawu-Cabarrot were doubtful after missing the last game, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to see them ruled out. Bruce Brown, Tyler Johnson, and Landry Shamet should continue […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. Oubre is dealing with a left wrist sprain, which could make shooting difficult for the 25-year-old. He's appeared in all 35 games for the Warriors before this- but the team may opt to sit him out […]

Luka Doncic Downgraded To Doubtful Against Thunder

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's contest with the Thunder. Doncic has missed only one game this season, so the team is likely preaching caution here with the All-Star break coming up, which he is still reportedly set to participate in. If Doncic is indeed out, Jalen Brunson […]

Domantas Sabonis Questionable With Sore Ankle

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. Sabonis is dealing with a sore left ankle- and the team could opt to rest him for the first half of the back-to-back with the All-Star break right around the corner. The Pacers could be without three members of their […]

Clint Capela Questionable, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available To Play

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, while guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has been removed from the injury report. Capela was added to the injury report fairly recently, so it's likely something that bothered him during Tuesday's game, making him genuinely a toss-up for Wednesday. Bogdanovic appears set […]

Gordon Hayward Upgraded To Probable Against Timberwolves

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been upgraded to probable on Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Hayward himself said he plans to play- and that the injury was basically an aggravation of the injury he suffered in the preseason. He noticeably struggled with his shot in two games last week- before the team ultimately opted […]

LeBron James To Sit Out Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Kings. James has played 35-plus minutes in two of his last three games- and has taken up a workload on both ends of the floor in the absence of Anthony Davis (calf) that is reminiscent of his days in Cleveland and […]

Devin Booker Swipes Season-High Three Steals In Win Over Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker stepped up on the defensive end in Tuesday's victory over the Lakers. Booker scored 17 points with six assists, three rebounds, three steals, and a triple in just 24 minutes. It was his lowest scoring output in nearly a month, though it wasn't for lack of effort- and the steals […]

Dario Saric Scores Season-High 21 Points

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric scored a season-high 21 points in 26 minutes of Tuesday's 114-104 win over the Lakers. Saric was listed as questionable for the contest after apparently tweaking his ankle sprain on Sunday, though he looked good out there, adding five rebounds, three assists, two triples, and a steal. The veteran forward […]

LeBron James Fills Up The Box Score In Loss To Suns

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James cooked up yet another juicy fantasy line for his managers in Tuesday's loss to Phoenix. James dropped 38 points with six assists, five rebounds, three treys, two steals, and a block in 38 minutes. The points were his second-highest total of the season, though the most impressive part of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Produces Full Line In Losing Effort

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered another full line to his fantasy managers in a loss to the Nuggets. Antetokounmpo compiled 27 points, eight boards, three assists, two blocks, and a steal in 33 minutes. Despite not making a three-pointer on three attempts, the star forward continues to be efficient from both the field and […]

Jamal Murray Scores Efficient 24 Points In Tuesday's Victory

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray kept up his recent stretch of excellent play in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee. Murray dropped 24 points on 10 of 17 shooting from the field- his fourth straight game shooting at least 50 percent- adding six assists, three boards, two steals, and a triple in 38 minutes. Congratulations if you […]

Nikola Jokic Posts Monster Triple-Double In Win Over Bucks

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic delivered a 30-point triple-double in a huge win over the Bucks on Tuesday night. Jokic scored 37 points with 11 assists, 10 rebounds, two triples, and two steals in 36 minutes of the 128-97 win. The MVP candidate became just the ninth player- and the first center since Wilt Chamberlain- […]

Immanuel Quickley Scores Game-High 26 Points

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley led all scorers with 26 points in Tuesday's loss to San Antonio, shooting 8-for-21 from the field and 6-for-13 from outside. He also bagged four rebounds, four assists, and one steal with two turnovers in 29 minutes. Derrick Rose (health and safety protocols) joined Elfrid Payton (hamstring) on the […]

Dejounte Murray Has Good All-Around Performance

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray was busy in multiple areas in Tuesday's win over the Knicks, going for 17 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals with only one turnover in 31 minutes. His 6-for-16 shooting could've been better, but he did well from outside with a 3-for-7 effort. Murray averages an […]

He finished things off with five rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Lyles has entered the starting lineup and has put […]

Bam Adebayo Gets Held In Check As Double-Double Streak Ends

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo saw his run of six consecutive double-doubles end in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta, finishing with 11 points, three assists, and only two rebounds. He shot 3-for-8 from the floor and 5-for-6 at the line in 33 minutes. It was a very disappointing performance by Adebayo, who looked set for a […]

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela continued his domination on the glass in Tuesday's win over Miami, racking up 17 boards in 30 minutes. He added 10 points on 5-for-10 shooting for his 24th double-double of the season. Only Nikola Jokic (31) has managed more this season and Capela is also averaging a league-high 14.2 rebounds […]
