Derrick Rose Could Return Thursday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose could return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Luka Doncic Downgraded To Doubtful Against Thunder

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's contest with the Thunder. Doncic has missed only one game this season, so the team is likely preaching caution here with the All-Star break coming up, which he is still reportedly set to participate in. If Doncic is indeed out, Jalen Brunson […]

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.

Elfrid Payton Won't Play Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Payton is making progress, but isn't quite ready to return yet. Derrick Rose will continue starting in his place and will be a decent streaming option.

Eric Gordon, Danuel House Jr. Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Eric Gordon (knee) and small/power forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball played one of his better all-around games of the season in Monday's loss to Portland. Ball scored 30 points with eight assists, six rebounds, five treys, four steals, and a block in 32 minutes.

Kyrie Irving Hits Six Treys Versus Spurs

Malcolm Brogdon Playing Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) will start Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon missed a game with a knee injury, but it will only be a one-game absence as he should see his normal starting role on Monday. T.J. McConnell will return to the bench, but is still a great fantasy option for assists […]

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul had his second straight 15-assist game in Sunday's 118-99 win over Minnesota. The 35-year-old rounded out his line with 11 points, six rebounds, a triple, and a steal in 32 minutes.

Elfrid Payton Out Again Sunday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will miss his third straight game on Sunday against Detroit. Payton's absence has coincided with better play from Derrick Rose- the latter has three straight games with at least 16 points and six dimes. The added revenge factor against his former team, the Pistons, makes him an intriguing […]

Trae Young Will Play Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (adductor) will take the court on Sunday against the Heat. Young was listed as questionable, though he will be out there after struggling through Friday's game to the tune of 7-of-21 shooting. Still, he's largely been excellent this month and won't have a minutes restriction against Miami, so he should […]

Kyrie Irving Likely To Be Back On Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) may be back on Monday night against San Antonio. The veteran sat out during Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, seemingly to rest the surgically-repaired shoulder that caused him to sit out for most of the 2020 season. With Irving potentially back in the mix, Landry Shamet and Timothe […]

Elfrid Payton On Track To Miss Third-Straight Contest

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful against the Pistons.
