Tyler Herro Earns Questionable Tag For Monday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (neck) has again been deemed questionable to suit up Monday versus Detroit due to neck spasms after having been unable to take the floor Saturday.

Victor Oladipo Will Make Rockets Debut Monday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Victor Oladipo has been given the green light to make his team debut during Monday's game versus the Bulls.

C.J. McCollum Unavailable For Monday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Spurs due to a sprained left foot.

Sixers-Thunder Contest Set For Sunday Waived Off

The Philadelphia 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder will not take the court Sunday night due to Philly not meeting the requisite number of available players (eight) under the league's health and safety protocols. While the 76ers are down multiple players due to injury (Joel Embiid, Mike Scott), the team is also facing COVID-19 contact tracing […]

Jaylen Brown Scores Team-High 25 Points

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown scored a team-high 25 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Sunday's blowout loss to the Knicks. Marcus Smart was the only other player to reach double figures, while Kemba Walker finished his season debut with nine points on horrible 3-for-13 shooting. It was a miserable performance all-around by the C's […]

Immanuel Quickley Produces Another Good Performance

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley had another solid bench outing in Sunday's win over Boston, finishing with 17 points, eight assists, one steal, and one block, while shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown. The 21-year-old rookie has made big strides lately and he is averaging 19.7 points per game across his […]

Evan Fournier Will Miss Ninth Straight Game

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This will be the ninth game in a row that Fournier has missed due to injury. Dwayne Bacon will make another start, but hasn't offered much value during his time in the starting five. Cole Anthony has […]

Jalen Brunson, Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guards Jalen Brunson (COVID-19) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Brunson continues to go through the NBA's health and safety protocols. However, the team does expect him to be back soon. Hardaway played well on Friday, but isn't healthy enough to play here. […]

Alec Burks Ruled Out Versus Celtics

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. There was a chance that he'd get back in action here, but Burks will remain on the sideline for at least one more game. That means, Austin Rivers and RJ Barrett will gain minutes and usage. It's […]

James Harden Starts Life In Brooklyn With Triple-Double

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden made his team debut on Saturday and he cooked up a triple-double with 32 points, 14 assists, and 12 rebounds in a 122-117 win over Orlando. He made three treys with 10 attempts, shot 8-for-18 overall from the field, and was very busy at the charity stripe with a 13-for-15 […]

DeMar DeRozan Leads Spurs In Scoring Against Rockets

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan struggled to find the net in Saturday's win over Houston, but he still ended up with a team-high 24 points. He finished 9-for-25 from the field and 6-for-6 at the line, adding seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one block with three turnovers in 37 minutes. DeRozan […]

Evan Fournier Remains Sidelined On Saturday

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He will miss his eighth game in a row due to back spasms. It's a bit concerning that Fournier hasn't been able to suit up in a month. Terrence Ross and James Ennis continue to struggle, so Cole […]

Sterling Brown Ruled Out Against Spurs

Houston Rockets guard Sterling Brown (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was listed as a game-time decision until the trade with the Nets was finalized, allowing Rodions Kurucs to be on the active roster. Kurucs gives the Rockets the required eight players to be eligible to play […]

Alec Burks Doubtful Against Celtics

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He continues to deal with a nagging ankle issue, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Knicks hold him out until Monday. Austin Rivers, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley would benefit the most in his absence. […]

Eric Gordon Sitting Out Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He continues to deal with left leg tightness and will be forced to sit this one out. Ben McLemore, Jae'sean Tate, David Nwaba and P.J. Tucker should get plenty of minutes in this game. Tucker is a […]

Donovan Mitchell Scores Team-High 26 Points In Victory

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell finished with 26 points, four assists, three rebounds, three steals and three turnovers on 10 of 20 shooting from field-goal range in Friday's 116-92 victory against the Hawks.

Zach LaVine Stays Scorching-Hot In Loss To Thunder

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine dropped 35 points with eight triples, seven rebounds, six assists, and a steal in an overtime loss to the Thunder.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores Career-High 33 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 33 points in an overtime victory over the Bulls.

Wesley Matthews Receives Green Light To Suit Up Friday

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) has been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Friday's game versus New Orleans, returning from a three-game absence due to Achilles soreness. Matthews is likely to return to his prior bench role, which has seen serious statistical fluctuations, based primarily on his ability to […]

Tyler Johnson On Track For Return Saturday

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Tyler Johnson was not listed on the team's injury report for Saturday's contest versus Orlando, an indication that he has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. Johnson has played a minimal role off the bench when active this year, but he could be in line for extended minutes with Kyrie […]

James Harden Questionable To Make Nets Debut Saturday

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard James Harden has been deemed questionable to suit up Saturday against the Magic as the logistics of the blockbuster trade need to still be ironed out. After beginning the year averaging 37 points through his first three games, Harden has averaged just 17.4 through his last five outings. Should he suit […]

Houston Lists Eric Gordon As Questionable For Saturday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (leg) has been bumped up to questionable to suit up for Saturday's game versus the Spurs as he continues to battle a tight left leg.

Jimmy Butler, Avery Bradley Remain Out For Saturday’s Game

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and shooting guard Avery Bradley have been ruled out ahead of Saturday's contest versus the Pistons under the league's health and safety protocols. While six of their teammates progressed to questionable for the game, Butler and Bradley remain succinctly out, which doesn't bode well for an imminent return […]

Cavaliers-Wizards Have Two-Game Series Postponed

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards had been set for a back-to-back series, which was slated to begin Sunday, but it has now been postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests on the Wizards roster. As of Friday night, the team had six positive tests and nine players in the league's health and safety protocols, making […]

Jaylen Brown, Three Others Clear COVID-19 Protocols

The Boston Celtics will get back four players from the league's health and safety protocols for Friday's contest versus the Magic, headlined by shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown. Brown figures to see a considerable offensive workload without Jayson Tatum in the mix, who remains away from the team following a positive COVID-19 test. Also back […]

Grizzlies-Timberwolves Matchup Called Off Friday

The contest that was set to take place between the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night has been postponed under the league's health and safety protocols.

Lou Williams Could Sit Out Versus Kings

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran guard was limited to nine minutes on Wednesday due to a hip issue. The team is likely going to wait until pregame before deciding if Williams will play. Luke Kennard would gain the most value, […]

Reggie Bullock Expected To Play Versus Cavs

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was listed as questionable earlier in the week, but it appears he's doing better. Bullock is expected to see an increased workload with Alec Burks (ankle) still sidelined. However, Austin Rivers is still the better streaming […]

Sterling Brown Shines In First Rockets Start

Houston Rockets shooting guard Sterling Brown took over James Harden's place in the starting lineup and cooked up a nice fantasy line in Thursday's win over San Antonio, recording 23 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and only one turnover in a team-high 37 minutes. John Wall (knee) and Eric Gordon (leg) also didn't […]
