Monte Morris Out Again

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (hamstring) will sit out again on Friday night against Utah. Morris continues to deal with a right hamstring strain, an injury that has opened the door for others to benefit. With R.J. Hampton (hip) and Will Barton (hamstring) also out, Facundo Campazzo and Austin Rivers should continue to be the […]

P.J. Dozier Not Available Against Utah

Denver Nuggets guard P.J. Dozier (hip) will be out for Friday's outing against Utah. The 24-year-old isn't expected back anytime soon while dealing with a right Adductor strain and is in jeopardy of missing time heading into the postseason. With Will Barton (hamstring) and Monte Morris (hamstring) also out, Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo should […]

Norman Powell Expected To Play Against Lakers

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell (knee) is expected to be back in the lineup against the Lakers on Friday night. Powell sat out on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to Jumper's knee. Derrick Jones Jr. should see a reduction in minutes with the veteran available against Los Angeles.

Anthony Davis Dealing With Back Spasms

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (ankle/back) left Thursday's outing against the Clippers. After twisting his right ankle, the 28-year-old began to experience back spasms, which ultimately will likely cause him to miss Friday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. With LeBron James (ankle) and Dennis Schroder both out, Alex Caruso, Andre Drummond, Talen Horton-Tucker, […]

Terrence Ross Remains Out Against Charlotte

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) won't play again on Friday against Charlotte. The veteran has been dealing with back spasms and has missed his previous 10 games as a result. With the team looking toward next season, it wouldn't be a surprise if he is done for the year. Look for R.J. Hampton and […]

Pablo Lopez Shines Against Diamondbacks

Miami Marlins starter Pablo Lopez looked brilliant against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday in Miami. One of many budding aces on the Marlins staff, Lopez allowed one unearned run on three hits and two walks across five innings. Lopez is now the owner of a 2.04 ERA and 1.08 WHIP to go along with 40 […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) will sit out on Friday against the visiting Hornets. Carter is dealing with a cut around his left eye and didn't play against Boston the other night as a result. Without him, Mo Bamba should do most of the work in the middle, with the 22-year-old recording 19 […]

Madison Bumgarner Looks Great Again

Arizona Diamondback starter Madison Bumgarner continued his unforeseen resurgence Thursday against the Marlins in Miami. The southpaw allowed just two hits and a lone run across six innings and perplexed the Marlins all game. Bumgarner gave up a leadoff homer to the first batter of the game but he then allowed only one more baserunner […]

Victor Oladipo Won’t Play On Friday Night

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is out on Friday against Minnesota, as expected. Oladipo's status moving ahead is a mystery at the moment, but it is safe to assume that if he is to make it back this season, it likely won't be until the postseason. With Tyler Herro (foot) and Jimmy Butler (illness) […]

Tyler Herro Remains Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is questionable ahead of Friday's matchup against Minnesota. The 21-year-old has missed his previous six contests while dealing with soreness in his right foot. With Jimmy Butler (illness) also in danger of not suiting up, Goran Dragic, Trevor Ariza, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson could be in store for […]

Nathan Eovaldi Struggles Against The Detroit Tigers

Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi turned in a disappointing start on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. Entering this start, Eovaldi had a 2.12 FIP and 3.68 ERA, so this clunker was absolutely not expected. He allowed six earned runs across 4 1/3 innings to the woeful Tigers offense, which entering Thursday's game was sporting […]

Jimmy Butler Dealing With An Illness

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) may not play against Minnesota on Friday evening. Flu-like symptoms have plagued the veteran, and with the league taking the cautious approach due to COVID-19, it may be reasonable for him to sit out another one after not playing on Wednesday versus Dallas. If Butler isn't available, look for […]

Yimi Garcia Earns Fifth Save For Marlins

Miami Marlins closer Yimi Garcia picked up his fifth save on Wednesday at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Garcia got Daulton Varsho to pop out and Stephen Vogt to strike out before allowing a two-out single to Pavin Smith. He quickly shut the door afterward, as Asdrubal Cabrera lined out to right field to end […]

Danuel House Jr. Expected To Miss Another One

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) is unlikely to play on Friday against Milwaukee. The 27-year-old is on track to miss his fifth straight outing for a team that also has Jae'sean Tate (knee), Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle), Christian Wood (ankle), Kelly Olynyk (ankle), and D.J. Wilson all listed on the latest injury report. […]

Kelly Olynyk Could Sit Against Bucks

Houston Rockets forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is questionable against the Bucks on Friday night. Olynyk has been on a roll since joining the team, averaging 18.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals throughout 22 games as a Rocket. With Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle), Christian Wood (ankle), Jae'sean Tate (knee), and Danuel House (ankle) all on […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Solid Against Yankees

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. turned in another solid start against the New York Yankees in the Bronx on Thursday. Striking out eight batters across six innings, McCullers Jr. again showed his elite swing-and-miss stuff. He also showed why he can be so frustrating to roster in fantasy leagues, as both Clint Frazier and […]

Anthony Davis Tweaks Ankle Against Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (ankle) left Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. The 28-year-old ran into the scorer's table after a three-point shot and immediately fell to the floor, grabbing at his right ankle. Davis was shooting a rough 2-for-9 before heading to the locker room and is questionable to return.

Jae’Sean Tate May Sit Out Again On Friday

Houston Rockets forward Jae’Sean Tate (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's matchup in Milwaukee. Tate didn't play on Wednesday while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols regarding COVID-19. However, it now appears he could be good to go as long as he can work through the bruise on his left knee. […]

Marcus Semien Has Huge Day Versus Old Team

Toronto Blue Jays middle infielder Marcus Semien tormented his former team on Thursday, going 4-for-6 at the plate in the team's 10-4 win. He returned to the leadoff spot in this contest as he clubbed his seventh homer and scored three runs in the series finale from Oakland. After starting the season as the team's […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Won’t Play Against Milwaukee

Houston Rockets guard/forward Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Bucks. Porter suffered a left ankle sprain during the team's previous contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. With the team also potentially down Kelly Olynyk (ankle), Jae'sean Tate (knee), and Christian Wood (ankle), Kenyon Martin Jr., Armoni Brooks, Anthony Lamb, […]

Trae Young Posts Third Straight Double-Double On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young finished with 30 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's loss to Indiana. Young now has a double-double in three straight games and has also posted at least 30 points in three of the last five games as well. The youngster is averaging 25.3 […]

Domantas Sabonis Drops 30 Points Against Hawks

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis finished with 30 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's win over the Hawks. Sabonis now has at least 30 points in two of the past three games while also posting a double-double in a staggering nine straight games before Thursday's. He is averaging […]

Bo Bichette Swipes A Pair On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was a menace on the basepaths on Thursday, stealing a pair of bags in the 10-4 win over the Athletics. He finished the game going 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored as he upped his theft total to seven and his batting average to .270 on the […]

Tristan Thompson Expected Back On Friday

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (pec) will likely play on Friday night against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran didn't suit up against Orlando on Wednesday night due to a left pectoral issue, but luckily, his absence may be short-lived. With Robert Williams III (toe) questionable, Thompson could end up logging extra minutes in the middle, […]

Caris LeVert Goes For 31 Points Against Atlanta

Indiana Pacers guard Caris Levert finished with 31 points, three rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks, and two steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's win over Atlanta. LeVert now has at least 31 points in three of the past five games and has been playing fantastic basketball in recent games. Despite averaging 19.4 points per game […]

Robert Williams III Questionable Against Chicago

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) is questionable for Friday night's matchup against Chicago. After missing seven games due to a knee issue, the big man is now dealing with turf toe on his left foot. Luckily, Tristan Thompson (pec) is listed as probable, so if Williams isn't available, he will likely take over […]

Neville Hewitt Visits With Texans

New York Jets unrestricted free-agent linebacker Neville Hewitt visited with the Houston Texans on Thursday, according to a source. The Texans have signed more free agents this offseason than any other team, but they may be adding to that list with Hewitt. He led the Jets with 134 tackles (six for loss) and added two […]
