Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (personal) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has already been ruled out, but now Milwaukee is even weaker with the loss of Brogdon. Khris Middleton will see plenty of playing time without Brogdon. Sean Kilpatrick and Sterling Brown will see extra playing time as […]

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets.

Dennis Schroder Should Get Plenty of Looks Saturday

Atlanta Hawk point guard Dennis Schroder gets a decent matchup Saturday against Chicago point guard Jerian Grant.

Kris Dunn Won’t Play in Atlanta

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (concussion) will not play against the Hawks on Saturday.
