Ben Simmons Set To Undergo Surgery

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) is set to undergo surgery to remove a loose body from his left knee. Simmons is set to leave the bubble to undergo this procedure and it's unclear when he'll return. There's a good chance that Simmons doesn't return at all during the postseason. This is a huge blow […]

Seth Curry Upgraded To Probable Versus Bucks

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was originally listed as questionable for this one, but it sounds like shootaround went well for Curry. It's unclear whether or not he'll be limited at all coming back from his leg injury. Some of the […]

Jamal Murray Back In Action Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He'll return from a four game absence, which means Monte Morris will head back to the second unit. P.J. Dozier might end up dropping out of the rotation altogether. Murray could be limited during his first game back, so […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Sitting Out On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Emmanuel Mudiay (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is dealing with left knee soreness, so the team will give him a day off during the second leg of the back-to-back set. Mike Conley (knee) is back in action, so Mudiay wouldn't have much of a […]

Donovan Mitchell Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Mike Conley (knee) and Rudy Gobert (rest) are back in the lineup after sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set. Mitchell is dealing with a lower left leg strain, so the team might want to be […]

Aron Baynes Won't Suit Up Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He has not played in a game during the bubble yet. However, the team is 4-0 without Baynes, so his absence isn't hurting the team. Deandre Ayton is healthy and playing well, so the team is in no […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Versus Pacers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Danny Green (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He is dealing with left hip soreness, so it's unclear if he'll be ready in time for Monday's contest. The Lakers are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Green. LeBron […]

Rudy Gobert Ready To Play Saturday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out of the front end of a back-to-back set in order to rest. Tony Bradley and Ed Davis will lose minutes and fantasy value with Gobert back in the rotation. He was […]

Mike Conley Removed From Injury Report

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is not currently listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out of the front end of the back-to-back set due to right knee soreness. It's unclear whether or not the team plans to limit Conley in this one. Donovan Mitchell (leg) […]

Goga Bitadze Says Knee Continues To Give Him Problems

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze mentioned on Friday that his left knee continues to give him problems. It has been something he has been battling with all season long.

Jamal Murray Questionable On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets are fairly banged up with Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) both out and Troy Daniels (hip) listed as questionable. Monte Morris is expected to get another start with P.J. Dozier backing him up off […]

Gary Harris, Will Barton Remain Sidelined

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) and forward Will Barton (knee) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's unclear when these two will get back on the court. There's a good chance that they both sit out during all the seeding games. Michael Porter Jr. will remain a must-have DFS […]

Kawhi Leonard Resting Versus Blazers

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will give their superstar forward a rest day. That means, Paul George will be asked to carry the load on offense, which will make him […]

Hassan Whiteside Won't Suit Up Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Whiteside mentioned that he was dealing with a hip issue during Thursday's game. The team will keep him out of this one as a precaution. His playing time has taken a hit with the return of […]

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel made his seventh start of the season on Friday, finishing a 121-92 loss to Memphis with 11 points and four rebounds.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant posted a solid line in Friday's win over OKC, recording 19 points, nine assists, and four rebounds.

Jonas Valanciunas Extends Double-Double Streak

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas recorded his fourth straight double-double on Friday with a 19-point, 11-rebound effort against the Thunder. He also had a pair of assists, one steal, and one block, while shooting 8-for-11 from the floor. It was a one-sided affair, so Valanciunas ended up logging only 24 minutes. He should be nicely […]

Dillon Brooks Scores Game-High 22 Points

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Dillon Brooks recorded a game-high 22 points on 10-for-18 shooting in Friday's vital win over OKC. He went 2-for-4 from outside and also had six rebounds and four assists with one steal. This was Brooks' second consecutive 20-point outing and by far the best shooting performance since the restart, so he […]

Terrence Ross Goes Scoreless Across 26 Minutes

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross was in position to see an increased role in the team’s offense during Friday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) out of the mix -- and he did, he just went 0-for-10 from the field, leading to Ross’ first scoreless outing since Oct. 24, 2017.
