James Harden Earns Questionable Tag For Sunday

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard James Harden (thigh) has been tagged as questionable to suit up for Sunday's game versus Washington as he battles a left thigh contusion.

Raul Neto Could Miss Sunday's Contest

Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) is in danger of missing Sunday's contest. He re-aggravated his groin during practice on Saturday, so head coach Scott Brooks is unsure if Neto will play in their next contest.

Devin Booker Remains Out Saturday Against Dallas

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. There was some hope Booker would return as early as Thursday, but it is looking like he will miss at least a week with the hamstring injury. Jae Crowder and Cameron Johnson should continue to have added value in the starting […]

Lonzo Ball Starting With No Restrictions Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) will start Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball had tweaked his ankle Wednesday after just 16 minutes of play time and never returned to the game.

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) and power forward/center Anthony Davis (quad) have both earned questionable designations for Saturday's contest versus the Celtics.

Lonzo Ball A Game-Time Decision Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against Milwaukee. The team is expected to make a decision about his availability in pregame warm ups. That's a little nerve-wracking for anyone who is thinking of playing Ball in DFS or season-long. Ball has been shooting the ball well from […]

P.J. Dozier Ruled Out Again

Denver Nuggets guard P.J. Dozier (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Averaging a career-high 19.4 minutes per game, Dozier will miss his second consecutive game, with the expectation being he misses at least a couple more outings still.

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden To Lose Minutes?

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash says that he'd like to reduce minutes for the team's three star players -- forward Kevin Durant and guards James Harden and Kyrie Irving.

Derrick White Out Friday; May Return Saturday

Tyler Herro Expected To Play Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Herro has been dealing with neck spasms and will return to the court after a 7-game absence.

Goran Dragic Ruled Out Again Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) will not play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dragic missed Wednesday's contest with a groin injury and will remain sidelined in the second leg of a back-to-back. With Dragic (and a ton of other players) out, Kendrick Nunn will likely start and has been a solid scorer in […]

Goran Dragic Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was held out of Wednesday's loss due to a groin strain. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Heat rest the veteran guard again here. His absence would mean a boost for Kendrick Nunn. He is […]

Chris Paul Scores Season-High 32 Points In Revenge Game

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul had a big night on Wednesday, scoring a season-high 32 points on 12-for-21 shooting against OKC.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a typically busy night on Wednesday against the Suns, racking up 21 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes of action.
