New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against Detroit. He's dealing with a knee issue and is missing only his second game of the season.

Kristaps Porzingis Back For Celtics Saturday, Al Horford Out

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (leg) will return to the lineup for Saturday's contest against Memphis. He was kept out of action on Friday versus Milwaukee as Porzingis continues to manage a leg injury. The Latvian big man will be a natural replacement for Al Horford (toe), who will exit the lineup on Saturday. Porzingis […]

Derrick White Good To Go Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) will take the court on Saturday against Memphis. He has been upgraded from probable to available. White is dealing with a right foot sprain but is good to go as Boston closes out a back-to-back. He's likely delighted to quickly get a new opportunity to play, as White had […]

Jakob Poeltl To Suit Up Saturday

Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, limiting his absence to just one game after missing Thursday's contest against the Thunder.

Talanoa Hufanga Activated From Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Maxi Kleber Sitting Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (illness) will not suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. Kleber has been unproductive lately, failing to score in three of his past four games, so his absence shouldn't disrupt the Mavericks' rotation too much. In his stead, P.J. Washington and Quentin Grimes are expected to pick up […]

Nick Bosa Ruled Out For Week 14

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Alexandre Sarr Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Denver.

Christian Braun Active On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (quadriceps) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off against Washington on Saturday.

On Saturday, he also gets an opportunity to play a larger role, as two of Denver's starters -- Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron […]

Aaron Gordon Misses Saturday's Action

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) will not be available for Saturday's clash against Washington. He was downgraded from probable to questionable earlier in the day, and Denver has now ruled Gordon out.

Max Pacioretty Back In Action Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (lower body) will end a 10-game absence in Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh. He's set to replace Nikita Grebenkin in the lineup. Pacioretty saw top-six action before being taken out by a lower-body injury on Nov. 9. However, he might return on Saturday in a smaller role. The veteran […]

Ross Colton Rejoins Avalanche Lineup Saturday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (foot) is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday versus Detroit. He has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of the game.

Avoid Cowboys D/ST In Week 14

The Dallas Cowboys' defense showed out in Week 13's win over the New York Giants. They recorded six sacks, a fumble recovery, and a 23-yard pick-six by linebacker DeMarvion Overshown.
