The Indiana Pacers are signing shooting guard Trey McKinney Jones to a 10-day contract. He signed a training camp deal with the team back in September.

The Portland Trail Blazers have agreed to a 10-day contract with guard/forward Brandon Rush. He's a nine-year veteran that has played with four different NBA teams, but he hasn't seen much success.

Knicks Sign Troy Williams to 10-Day Contract

The New York Knicks have agreed to a 10-day contract with guard/forward Troy Williams. He was waived from the Houston Rockets last week because they wanted to clear a roster spot for Joe Johnson.

Magic Might Buy Out Arron Afflalo

Orlando Magic guard/forward Arron Afflalo could be headed elsewhere in the second half if he reaches a buyout agreement with Orlando. The Toronto Raptors are reportedly interested in signing the 32-year-old veteran. These are just rumors, but Afflalo does not make much sense on the Magic roster.

James Harden’s Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Houston Rockets guard James Harden will look to continue his dominance in the second half of the season.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Vince Carter is expected to spend the rest of the season in Sacramento. There were rumors of a buyout, but the Kings reportedly said they prefer not to buy out Carter.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson said that he "hopefully" will re-sign with the Warriors. He will not have a chance to test free agency until July of 2019.

Josh Hart’s Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart has seen his fantasy value significantly increase since the start of the regular season.

Gordon Hayward Will Travel With Team

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (leg) said he plans to start traveling with the team in March. He continues to make progress, but has no timetable for his return. Hayward is considered doubtful to return this season. The Celtics are playing fine without him and aren't going to rush him back on the court. Owners […]

Brandon Ingram’s Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram has found himself as one of the leading men on an inexperienced Lakers squad. Ingram has drastically improved on his play from last season, averaging 16.2 points per game, 6.8 points more than he did during his rookie campaign. With the Lakers possessing one of the easier schedules in […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison has shot his way into consistent minutes in the Grizzlies rotation.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (foot) is expected to return after the All-Star break. Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said Ginobili's injury does not "appear to be anything severe."

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday is enjoying the best season of his NBA career heading into the All-Star break. The veteran is averaging 18.6 points per game, 5.5 assists per game and 48 percent shooting from the field, which are all career bests. Along with forward/center Anthony Davis, Holiday has benefited from the season-ending […]

Gary Harris And Jamal Murray Starting Thursday

Denver Nuggets guards Gary Harris (foot) and Jamal Murray (chest) will start Thursday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Harris and Murray were probable for this game, so this should come as no surprise.

Today is the last official day of NBA games before the All-Star Break. With only two games scheduled, I won't be playing. I recommend you don't play as well.

Gary Harris is Probable Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (chest) is probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He told reporters he is playing in Friday's Rising Stars Challenge "no matter what." He was listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs and played 38 minutes in that contest. Afterwards he said he was in "constant pain" […]

Torrey Craig is Not With The Team

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Torrey Craig (personal) is not with the team and is questionable to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He's not in the G-League either, so it is unclear why Craig is not currently with the Nuggets. Malik Beasley will see additional playing time if Craig does not join the team before […]
