Grayson Allen Uncertain For Game 4
Phoenix Suns forward Grayson Allen (ankle) is questionable heading into Sunday's pivotal matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Allen tweaked his ankle twice during this series, keeping him off the floor for Game 3. Royce O'Neale got the start in that one. However, it was Eric Gordon who benefitted the most, finishing with 11 points, three... Read More
Kyle Anderson Questionable For Game 4
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's postseason clash with the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is dealing with a hip pointer.

Khris Middleton Expected To Play On Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for the playoff matchup with the Pacers on Sunday. The veteran was questionable heading into Game 3 because of an ankle injury.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (Achilles) isn't expected to play on Sunday against Indiana. Lillard has been on a roll during the series.

Zane Smith Unlikely to Contend After Practice Crash
Zane Smith did not have a good start to his weekend after crashing in the second practice session, which prevented him from registering a time in qualifying. Smith has mightily struggled in his rookie NASCAR Cup Series campaign as he has been both slow and crash-prone. After Daniel Hemric posted the fastest average speed at... Read More
Dover Not One of Brad Keselowski's Best Tracks
Brad Keselowski still awaits his first win since becoming an owner-driver for his RFK Racing team despite a near-miss last week when Tyler Reddick edged him out coming to the finish at Talladega, but it probably won't come this weekend at Dover. Keselowski did win at "The Monster Mile" once in 2012 via fuel mileage,... Read More
Ty Gibbs Likely to Contend if Joe Gibbs Racing as Fast as Expected
Ty Gibbs qualified 19th at Dover this weekend, but expect him to carve his way through the field at least to a certain extent. In last year's race, Gibbs started 24th and finished 13th in a race his teammate, Martin Truex, Jr., won. Additionally all of Gibbs' teammates finished inside the top six, indicating that...

Austin Cindric Continues to Qualify Well, but Lacks Race Speed
Austin Cindric qualified 11th for this weekend's race at Dover, but it isn't one of his best tracks, as he failed to finish his first NASCAR Cup Series race there in 2022 and finished four laps down in 26th last year. Cindric did win his Xfinity Series start there in 2021, where he was generally... Read More
Harrison Burton Unlikely to Duplicate Talladega Top Ten
Harrison Burton scored his first top ten of the season last week at Talladega, but it is extremely unlikely to foresee him repeating that feat in this weekend's race at Dover.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Game 4
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's postseason matchup with Indiana.

Fortunately, Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable,... Read More
A.J. Allmendinger Decent at Dover but Not in Recent Years
A.J. Allmendinger qualified 10th for this weekend's Würth 400 at Dover, giving Kaulig Racing its best starting position in the NASCAR Cup Series this year.

Triston Casas Transferred To 60-Day IL
The Boston Red Sox, who earlier today acquired veteran infielder Garrett Cooper from the Chicago Cubs, have moved slugging first baseman Triston Casas (ribs) to the 60-day IL. This was done to make room on the 40-man roster for Cooper. Casas was diagnosed with a painful cartilage tear in his left ribcage Friday. The designation... Read More
