2 days agoMiami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will miss a 15th consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Warriors. Miami's young star has missed a month of action with a right foot injury and doesn't have a clear return date, but Herro is expected to undergo a re-evaluation soon. With Duncan Robinson also out, Patty Mills has landed a job as a starter in the Heat backcourt, averaging 8.0 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in the role. He hasn't done a lot but could be more productive on Tuesday in a pace-up spot for Miami.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He's only just returned from a lengthy absence, and the team wants to be careful with Middleton's workload. But Milwaukee had the day off on Monday, and there's no back-to-back in sight, clearing the way for Middleton to play. The three-time All-Star is fresh off his second career triple-double, having picked up 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists against Oklahoma City on Sunday. Middleton is averaging 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in 28.3 minutes since his return.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to take the court in Tuesday's mouth-watering matchup against the Lakers. The team has listed him as probable ahead of the tilt. Antetokounmpo has played in two consecutive games since returning from a hamstring injury. He almost had a 30-20 game last time out against the Thunder, so it's safe to assume the former MVP is feeling 100 percent or at least close to it, and we should witness another spectacular performance from him on Tuesday. The Bucks superstar erupted for 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists in this season's first meeting with the Lakers earlier in the month.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 days agoMiami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 10, as the team considers him questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Warriors. Martin has been a frequent guest on the injury report and is currently dealing with right ankle discomfort, but he's had an impressive ironman streak of 34 consecutive appearances. The 28-year-old leads the Heat bench mob on a nightly basis, averaging 10.8 points and 4.7 rebounds for the month. Patty Mills and Haywood Highsmith are in line to benefit from Martin's absence, although Miami's second unit might struggle on Tuesday because the Warriors allow the sixth-fewest bench points in the league.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 days agoMiami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Golden State. He might be absent for a second consecutive game after coming out of the lineup with left ankle discomfort on Sunday versus Cleveland. Jaquez Jr. has had a steady role with the Heat, and his absence opens up around 30 minutes of playing time. Haywood Highsmith picked up some of the minutes at the weekend and had a good game with 18 points and five rebounds. However, he might drop out of the rotation if Jaquez Jr. is available again and Caleb Martin (ankle) finds a way to rid himself of a questionable tag.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 days agoMiami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) is nearing a return and has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors. The veteran has missed 13 games on the bounce with a right heel injury, last appearing for Miami on Feb. 27. Love will likely push Thomas Bryant near the end of the bench again, and Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith might also lose a few minutes. The five-time All-Star doesn't play a lot these days, but Love has been effective when on the court, averaging 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 17.5 minutes.Source: NBA Injury Report
2 days agoGolden State Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) is questionable to play on Tuesday against Miami. The rookie big man has hurt his left knee and might have to come out of the lineup in the midst of a very good stretch. Jackson-Davis has tallied 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 23.0 minutes this month. If he can't play versus the Heat, Kevon Looney might jump back into the rotation, with Dario Saric also in a position to log extra minutes. However, this wouldn't change their fantasy value, as both players have only filled a minuscule role for the Warriors.Source: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoLos Angeles Clippers point guard Russell Westbrook (hand) is available Monday, three weeks after having hand surgery. The former MVP was recovering from a fractured hand suffered on March 1st in a matchup against Washington. Westbrook has been one of the most productive bench players in the league this season, putting up 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. While Westbrook was out, the Clippers posted a 6-6 record. In his return against the Pacers, the 35-year-old shouldn't face any minute restrictions.Source: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoOn Monday, Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) will not suit up against the Sacramento Kings. He is suffering from a sore left shoulder. The 28-year-old was added to the injury report as a game-time decision, and after testing his shoulder in pregame warmups, he is now listed as out. 31-year-old Buddy Hield will likely start at small forward with Oubre Jr. sidelined.Source: Gina Mizell
3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (groin) will suit up Monday against the Denver Nuggets. Stevens has been dealing with a left-groin strain. He will take the court for the first time since March 10. The 26-year-old averaged 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in 23.5 minutes across his last five outings before getting injured. Despite a depleted Grizzlies roster, Stevens may still see limited minutes Monday night.Source: Grizzlies PR
3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (illness), previously listed as a game-time decision due to illness, will be available to play against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Despite being sick, he is healthy enough to play. In his last five games, he has averaged 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. Desmond Bane (back) and Lamar Stevens (adductor), listed as questionable earlier in the day, will also be suiting up.Source: Grizzlies PR
3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is officially out on Monday versus the Nuggets. He's still dealing with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. The 24-year-old has played 52 contests this season, averaging 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. The Grizzlies lineup has been hampered with injuries this season. However, Desmond Bane (back), Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) and Jake LaRavia (illness) will provide some relief to a depleted roster as they are available for Monday's tilt.Source: Grizzlies PR
3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (back) is available against Denver on Monday. After missing two months with a sprained ankle, Bane is now dealing with a sore back. Following his long-awaited return, the Grizzlies star played in only three games before having some injury issues. Memphis continues to have several players on their injury list, resulting in John Konchar in the backcourt against San Antonio on Friday. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jordan Goodwin have also been significant parts of the teams rotation.Source: Grizzlies PR
3 days agoDenver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will play on Monday against the Grizzlies. He was on the injury report because of a non-COVID-illness. However, Porter is good to go. The 25-year-old scored only 12 points in Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers. While there's a chance he'll bounce back, he may spend more time on the bench if the Nuggets build a commanding lead over the shorthanded Grizzlies.Source: Denver Nuggets
3 days agoDenver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) won't play on Monday against Memphis. The veteran had a 22-point, 12-rebound double-double with three blocks in Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Unfortunately, he popped up on the injury report late on Monday because of a right Plantar Fascia strain. There hasn't been anything to suggest the injury will keep him out beyond Monday night, meaning he could be back for Wednesday's showdown with the Suns. But as fas as the meeting with Memphis is concerned, Peyton Watson, averaging 11.8 points, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this year, should fill the void in the lineup.Source: Denver Nuggets
