Otto Porter Practices on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) was able to get in some 3-on-3 work during Friday's practice. He was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and appears close to returning to the court. There's a chance that Porter is able to suit up for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ryan Arcidiacono and Shaquille Harrison […]

Markieff Morris Has Agreed on Buyout

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris has agreed to a contract buyout with the organization. He didn't play in Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks, so this was likely already on the table before that game. The Pistons are using the youth movement with Sekou Doumbouya and Christian Wood leading the charge. Thon Maker and John […]

D.J. Augustin is Available on Friday

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) will be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Augustin has been sidelined since the middle of January and missed 15 straight games. He should be eased back into action, so he won't be much of a fantasy option right now. Michael Carter-Williams will see less minutes and […]

Elfrid Payton is Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was playing very well before the All-Star break, so this hurts to lose him when he was finally performing. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina will split up the minutes on Friday. Neither player is worth […]

Ben Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Thursday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to lower back tightness. He reportedly went through a workout and responded well, so that's a good sign for Saturday. Raul Neto would head back to the […]

Caris LeVert Scores Team-High 25 Points For Nets

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert was given the green light against the Sixers on Thursday. He scored 25 points in 39 minutes, but he was not at all efficient. It took 29 field-goal attempts for LeVert to score as many points as he did, as he only converted on nine of them. A 31% clip […]

Jarrett Allen Struggles Against Sixers

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen certainly did not return from the All-Star break on a great note.

Josh Richardson Struggles Versus Nets

Philadelphia 76ers guard Josh Richardson could not find the bottom of the net against Brooklyn on Thursday.

The 26-year-old tallied […]

Joel Embiid Dominates In Overtime Victory Against Nets

Thanks to a 39-point, 16-rebound performance from Philadelphia Sixers center Joel Embiid, Philly was able to pick up a win in their first game after the All-Star break. He converted on 10 of 20 field-goal attempts and got to the charity stripe 19 times, nailing all but one of his free throws. Philadelphia needed every […]
