Stephen Curry Starting, Andrew Wiggins Up In The Air

The Golden State Warriors will have point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) available, but forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) is still questionable to play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Boston Celtics point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's contest against the Wizards, stemming his absence due to an ankle injury at two games.

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Friday’s Contest Due To Personal Reasons

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been deemed unavailable to take the floor for Friday's game against the Kings. His absence paves the way for Fred Vanvleet to take over full-time PG duties, which gives him immense DFS upside, especially when considering the difficulty that Sacramento has had in containing opposing PGs thus […]

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray produced a good bounce-back effort on Thursday following Tuesday's 13-point performance against Minnesota, finishing with 21 points and nine assists in a 124-117 overtime loss to Dallas.

Cleveland Scratches Collin Sexton Before Thursday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) had been announced as a starter for Thursday's contest against Memphis and had gone through a pre-game workout, but he was scratched at the last possible minute, with Damyean Dotson starting at the point guard spot in his place.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will have point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Damyean Dotson (ankle) on the floor for Thursday's contest, barring a last-second issue, per head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The duo were deemed questionable earlier in the day, which would have dealt significant blows to an already decimated backcourt heading into Thursday's […]

Boston Lists Jeff Teague As Questionable To Play Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been battling a sprained left ankle that has kept him out of the team's two most recent contests, but he has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Collin Sexton Questionable On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic.

Darius Garland Sitting Out Against Memphis

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Russell Westbrook Could Sit On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a dislocated finger during Wednesday's contest, so there's a chance he sits out the first game of the back-to-back set. Normally, Westbrook sits the first game of two anyway, so it wouldn't be shocking if the […]

Coby White Notches Career-High 36 Points

Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White dropped bombs from all over the place in Wednesday's loss to Sacramento, shooting 15-for-23 from the field en route to a career-high 36 points.
