Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Eason has missed over a month of action due to a lower leg injury.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Ja Morant Questionable For Friday Due To Foot issue

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (foot) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Friday's contest against San Antonio. He's nursing right foot soreness.

Dereck Lively II Will Not Play On Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Friday versus Oklahoma City. The young big man sprained his right ankle on Tuesday against Denver.
