Jonathon Simmons is Questionable for Thursday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played through the ankle issue on Tuesday and scored a career-high 34 points in the victory over the Cavs. He did say that he was "very close" to not playing, so maybe he decides to sit out […]

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade (rest) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. This is not surprising news, as Wade is often rested in the second game of a back-to-back set. He seemed fine during Tuesday's contest and should be ready on Friday versus Atlanta. Kyle Korver and Derrick Rose will see increased […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip, rib) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This will be his second straight game sidelined, but he was not expected to be ready to suit up yet. Booker is taking his injury day by day but is hopeful to still be part of […]

Marco Belinelli Ruled Out Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Marco Belinelli will not travel with the team for their game against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. He was held out of Tuesday's game due to ongoing trade discussions.

Harrison Barnes is Questionable for Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Barnes was able to practice on Wednesday, which is an encouraging sign regarding his status for Thursday.

Victor Oladipo Will Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (illness) will play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. He is expected to return from a one-game absence on Wednesday. Oladipo's return means Lance Stephenson will move back to the second unit and Bojan Bogdanovic's usage will take a hit. Oladipo is not expected to have any minutes limit […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Caris LeVert Ruled Out

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) and guard Caris LeVert (knee, concussion) have been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Quincy Acy (finger) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Acy sat out of Tuesday's game, which resulted in DeMarre Carroll moving to power forward and Joe Harris starting at small forward.

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Phoenix Suns forward/center Dragan Bender will draw the start against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Marquese Chriss will be back in action after serving a one-game suspension on Sunday.

There is no indication on whether or not the Celtics will have Irving on a minutes limit. Terry Rozier will move back […]

Eric Gordon is Probable for Tuesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He spent the last two games on the sidelines with a back issue, but is expected to rejoin the rotation on Tuesday. The return of Gordon will cut into Gerald Green's minutes and will lower his value. Owners should […]

Wilson Chandler is Probable Against Hornets

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is probable to play in Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He did not go through shootaround, but did play 24 minutes in Saturday's victory over Golden State. Chandler has not played well lately, but maybe his illness is a factor. He's expected to play on Monday, but Will […]

Marvin Williams is Doubtful on Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams has already missed three games in a row.

Donovan Mitchell is Probable Monday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He had the weekend to rest after missing Saturday's contest against San Antonio.

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Next Two Games

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Gordon will not play versus the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, and pulled himself out of the dunk contest.

Hassan Whiteside is Probable on Monday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He did not go through shootaround, but head coach Erik Spoelstra said Whiteside was just getting extra rest. Owners will likely need to wait until closer to tip-off before a final decision is made. Bam Adebayo, Kelly Olynyk and James […]

Luke Kennard is Questionable Against Blazers

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Luke Kennard (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
