Kristaps Porzingis Upgraded To Questionable

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Mason Plumlee Sidelined On Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Derrick White Likely Done For The Season

Devin Vassell Starting Against Heat

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat.

James Johnson Will Play Limited Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans forward James Johnson (groin) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Johnson won't be a great […]

Steven Adams Available Against Denver
