Kristaps Porzingis is Questionable Against Wizards

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Bruno Fernando is Unlikely to Play on Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics.

De'Andre Hunter is Available on Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) will be available for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable, but it appears Hunter is going to play here. Cam Reddish (head) remains out of the rotation with a concussion, so Hunter should see around 30 minutes on Friday. He's worth owning in most […]

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He suffered a sprained right ankle during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Hassan Whiteside Might Sit Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (leg) was listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was playing fantastic on Thursday, but appears to have suffered a left leg contusion in the process. Caleb Swanigan could be asked to play heavy minutes if Whiteside isn't able to play. Swanigan would be up […]

Brandon Knight, John Henson Won't Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight and center John Henson won't suit up for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Christian Wood will be asked to step up on Friday, while Thon Maker and Sekou Doumbouya get more minutes as well. Henson should have increased value in Detroit, but won't have anything more than a […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Versus Kings

Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Butler suffered a right shoulder strain during Wednesday's game. The MRI came back clean, but the Heat are going to take the cautious approach here. There's a chance that Butler is going to be sidelined until after the […]

Marcus Smart Will Play Against Hawks
