Blake Griffin Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game

Detroit Pistons power forward Blake Griffin (rest) has been deemed unavailable to suit up for Saturday's contest versus the 76ers as the team continues to monitor his injury progress. Griffin has yet to play in both legs of a back-to-back this season, and after seeing 29 minutes in Friday's loss, his absence doesn't come as […]

Matt Grzelcyk Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (undisclosed) won't suit up for Saturday's clash versus the Flyers with his status labeled as day-to-day. Connor Clifton will enter the lineup, while Charlie McAvoy will take over from Grzelcyk on the top power-play unit. The 23-year-old is pointless so far this season so maybe this will help him get […]

Kristaps Porzingis Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been deemed doubtful to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Rockets as the team attempts to limit his workload in his return from a knee injury.

Jamal Murray Draws Questionable Tag For Saturday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (shoulder) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Saturday's contest versus the Suns due to a sprained left shoulder.

Jaroslav Halak Takes On Flyers Saturday Night

Boston Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak will man the crease on Saturday against Philadelphia, trying to get off the mark for the season. The veteran netminder lost his only previous start this season 2-1 in overtime to New Jersey. He delivered a solid performance with 29 saves, so it shouldn't take him too long to start […]

Tramon Williams Could Make History Sunday

Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, and he's now on track to become the first player in NFL history to play for two different teams in the same postseason.

Derrick Rose Won't Suit Up Versus Sixers

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Both […]

John Wall Listed As Probable For Saturday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Ricky Rubio Questionable Against Pelicans

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was cleared from the NBA's COVID-19 protocols and was able to play on Friday. We expect Rubio to play in this game because D'Angelo Russell (rest) is sitting out. However, Anthony Edwards and Jarrett Culver would see a […]

D'Angelo Russell Resting On Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He played 21 minutes on Friday, so this is odd news considering Russell isn't banged up at all. Regardless, veteran guard Ricky Rubio (COVID-19) is expected to play and see an increased workload. He'd be a favorable […]

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The training staff is going to play it safe and have Porter sit out the second half of the back-to-back set.

Joel Embiid Might Sit Out Versus Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Embiid sit out here. On Friday, Embiid played 30 minutes and put up monster numbers against the Boston Celtics. The team is likely going to wait until […]

Kings Looking To Trade Nemanja Bjelica

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica looks to have fallen out of the rotation, but the team reportedly says he is missing time due to personal reasons.
