Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson went off for a season-high 25 points and five threes in a 117-112 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.

Doug McDermott May Not Suit Up On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (tooth) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran broke his tooth after taking an elbow to the face on Monday night, which could force him out of the lineup against Cleveland. With the team down a handful of players, Edmond Sumner could be in line for […]

Taurean Prince May Miss Another Game On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's outing against the Pacers. Prince missed four-straight games a few weeks ago after spraining his ankle. He also missed Saturday's matchup against the 76ers due to personal issues, so this situation should be monitored, especially leading up to the trade deadline. Dean Wade has seen […]

Jerami Grant Questionable Against Toronto

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. The veteran is dealing with a bruised left quad, an injury that puts him in jeopardy of sitting out at least the first part of the team's upcoming back-to-back. However, with the upcoming All-Star break, it wouldn't be surprising if the […]

Ja Morant Explodes For 35 Points

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant posted 35 points, five rebounds, 10 assists, and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Wizards.

Jeremy Lamb Downgraded For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Head coach Brad Stevens mentioned that Smart will miss the first game coming out of the All-Star break. However, Smart could return shortly after that as he continues making steady progress. The […]

Dario Saric Questionable Versus Lakers

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He returned from the right ankle sprain on Sunday, but it appears he tweaked it during that contest. He usually only plays minutes in the teens, so there won't be a huge boost for anyone here. Cameron […]

Derrick Rose Won't Suit Up Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard will be sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols.
