Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Donovan Mitchell Remains Questionable With Illness

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) hasn't played since December 18 due to a non-COVID illness and he's officially listed as questionable for their game on Friday. The star guard has now seen two small stretches of missed games due to either injury or illness, but luckily the team has gone 3-1 with him out. […]

Gary Harris Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (calf) has received a questionable tag ahead of their Friday night matchup against the New York Knicks.

Josh Richardson Officially Out On Thursday

Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This was expected as Richardson was considered doubtful for this game due to lower back discomfort. The Heat are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Richardson. That means, Jaime […]

Bruce Brown Misses Third Consecutive Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be sidelined for a third consecutive game Thursday versus Chicago. He has a bone bruise on his right knee and will get his next chance to return on Saturday against the Knicks. Andrew Nembhard has hopped into the starting unit as Brown's replacement, becoming a viable fantasy option. […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's encounter with the Pistons. He suffered a lower back contusion in a collision with LeBron James on Monday.

Ausar Thompson Listed As Probable Thursday

Killian Hayes Probable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is regarded as probable for Thursday's matchup against Boston. Hayes has been sidelined for four games, and he's actually had the probable tag a couple of times during his absence, so it might not mean he's on track to return.

Killian Hayes Probable For Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nets. The young Frenchman has missed three games with an illness.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Likely To Play On Monday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back) is considered probable for Monday's Christmas outing against the Warriors.
