Taylor Rogers Sharp In Long Relief

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers notched his third hold of the season and was excellent in Wednesday's outing.

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is expected to be in the lineup as his team takes on the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (leg) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Jayson Tatum Could Sit Versus Suns

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Celtics hold out a few key players.
