Paolo Banchero Making More Progress

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) remained out ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus the Pistons. However, he was spotted before the game getting "on-court" work.

Unfortunately for Dick's fantasy managers, he may have trouble staying as productive, considering Immanuel Quickley (elbow) will return […]

Brandin Podziemski Unavailable For Thursday

Dalen Terry Cleared To Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Dalen Terry (ankle) will remain in the lineup on Wednesday against Washington. There was a small question mark over him when Chicago placed Terry on the injury report with a probable tag. He's nursing a right ankle sprain. However, the injury isn't serious enough to keep Terry off the court. The 22-year-old […]

Jalen Smith Available On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (ankle) will play against Washington on Wednesday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Smith will continue to work as Nikola Vucevic's backup at the center position. This severely limits his fantasy appeal, but Smith did well in the role on Monday against Charlotte.
