Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Ruled Out For Game 3
Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Brooklyn Nets.

Patrick Beverley Doubtful Versus Mavs
Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to play in Game 2 and it sounds like he'll be a game-time decision here. Reggie Jackson would likely be asked to jump into the starting five if Beverley is unable to play. […]

Kristaps Porzingis Listed As Probable For Friday
Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is listed as probable for Friday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Clippers. The good news is, Porzingis is no longer listed on the injury report with any knee problems. He looked fine during Wednesday's game, but is reportedly dealing with a left heel bruise. It doesn't sound like […]

Damian Lillard Suffers Injury On Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (finger) suffered an injury during Thursday's Game 2 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. During that game, Lillard dislocated his left index finger of his non-shooting hand. The X-rays came back negative, which is a great sign going forward. It's unknown whether or not Lillard will be able to […]

Michael Carter-Williams Doubtful For Game 3
Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has been sidelined since August 5 due to a left foot issue, so who knows if we'll see him in this series. His absence will mean more minutes for Markelle Fultz and D.J. Augustin going forward. […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Questionable For Game 3
Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Brooklyn Nets. He is dealing with swelling in his left knee, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play through it.

Michael Carter-Williams Remains Out On Thursday
Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Terrence Ross could end […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out For Thursday
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Patrick Beverley Could Sit Out Friday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He sat out of Wednesday's Game 2 loss due to a left calf issue.

Luguentz Dort Available On Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is available for Thursday's Game 2 against the Houston Rockets. He was listed as questionable going in, but it appears he's healthy enough to play.

Luguentz Dort Questionable For Game 2
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 2 against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He was called out on Wednesday, but it appears he has been upgraded to questionable now. Dort is the best chance OKC has at slowing down James Harden.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (knee) and forward LeBron James (groin) are listed as probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
