Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play for Friday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks decided to sit him each of the last two games in order to manage his soreness in his right knee. The plan all along was for Antetokounmpo to return on Friday. It appears he has […]

Dwyane Wade Questionable on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade (personal) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Wade was absent for shootaround and his status for Friday's game is up in the air. Wade did not participate in shootaround due to an undisclosed personal matter. Owners will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off before […]

Myles Turner Won't Play on Friday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) will not play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Turner has not played since Jan. 8 but has been making progress in his rehab. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. However, he has not been cleared to play in Friday's contest. His […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Expected to Play Thursday

New York Knicks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is expected to return to the lineup against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. He did not play Tuesday versus Golden State after tweaking his knee on Monday. This could be a game-time decision call, so owners should check back for more information later. If Porzingis does not play, […]

Patrick Patterson is Questionable on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Patrick Patterson (wrist) is questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Thursday. He picked up the injury when he fell on Tuesday. The MRI came back clean and Patterson practiced on Wednesday. He went through shootaround but still has some soreness. This is likely headed towards a game-time decision call. […]

Zach Randolph is Probable on Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Zach Randolph (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's contest against the Miami Heat. He was expected to play on Tuesday, but head coach Dave Joerger forgot to activate him on the official lineup sheet. Skal Labissiere (shoulder) is also probable, but could see less minutes with Randolph back in the lineup.

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. He was upgraded to probable on Wednesday, but the Heat have decided to be cautious with Johnson. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said he's making good progress and they hope to give him a couple of more days. Wayne Ellington and […]

Goran Dragic Expected to Play Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is probable for Thursday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. Dragic will "try to play" but has missed the last two games with a knee issue. He'll warm up with the intent to play, but it sounds like a game-time decision. He's expected to return barring any setbacks, and his […]

De'Aaron Fox is Probable on Thursday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (abdominal) is listed as probable for Thursday's contest against the Miami Heat. The MRI came back negative, so Fox is expected to suit up against Miami. Garrett Temple is a rest candidate with Fox back in the lineup. George Hill should be back in the rotation after resting last […]

Myles Turner Could Return on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. He was a full participant at practice on Tuesday and told reporters he's made "good progress," but it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up on Wednesday. If Turner does play, he'll come off the bench behind […]

Jarell Martin is Questionable Against Spurs

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) is questionable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He was on the injury report earlier this week and continues to deal with multiple lingering issues. He's taken advantage of his opportunity with JaMychal Green (ankle) sidelined. Myke Henry could be looking at extended playing time […]

DeAndre Jordan is Doubtful on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) is considered doubtful to play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. On Monday, head coach Doc Rivers said Jordan was close to returning, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. Montrezl Harrell and Willie Reed will continue to divide up the minutes if Jordan is sidelined […]

Tyreke Evans Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is considered questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He was not at Tuesday's practice and was excused due to flu-like symptoms. Memphis is already short-handed, so Evans being sidelined would create more minutes for Wayne Selden, Ben McLemore, Mario Chalmers and Dillon Brooks. Evans […]

Jamal Crawford is Questionable Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jamal Crawford (toe) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Crawford is feeling better, but it's unlikely he'll play on Wednesday. He's listed as day-to-day, so if he does sit on Wednesday, then he could play on Thursday against Golden State. Marcus Georges-Hunt […]

Jimmy Butler is Doubtful on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is doubtful to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. It looks like Butler will be on the sidelines for the third straight game Wednesday, which will result in Nemanja Bjelica joining the starting five. Andrew Wiggins, Jeff Teague and Karl-Anthony Towns will be asked to step up […]

Tyson Chandler Will Start on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (rest) will be back in the starting lineup against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Chandler did not play on Monday versus Milwaukee, but he will resume his normal role on Wednesday. Greg Monroe will shift back to the bench and is expected to be removed out of the rotation entirely […]

Kris Dunn Won't Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (concussion) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said there is no change in Dunn's status, so don't expect him to suit up on Friday versus the Lakers. Jerian Grant is likely looking at two more starts and Denzel Valentine will back him up off […]

Reggie Bullock Doubtful on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) is doubtful to play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Head coach Stan Van Gundy said Bullock will be available, but it's unlikely that he'll actually get out on the court. Luke Kennard will likely replace Bullock in the starting lineup. Stanley Johnson and Anthony Tolliver could see extra […]

Jerryd Bayless Ruled Out Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. This marks his third straight game on the sidelines, and he'll be joined by teammates J.J. Redick (leg) and T.J. McConnell (personal). Timothe Luwawu and Justin Anderson could be forced into heavy minutes on Wednesday. Neither player will likely be much […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (leg) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. This game marks the third straight contest without Hood in the rotation. It's unclear when Hood will return to the lineup. Joe Johnson, Alec Burks, and Joe Ingles will see increased playing time with Hood unable to suit […]

Devin Harris Ruled Out Next Three Games

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (concussion, personal) has been ruled out for the next three games. Harris is currently without a timetable and will miss Wednesday's game with a concussion. On Thursday, he'll step away from the team, which will force Harris to miss the games on Friday and Saturday. Harris belongs on the waiver […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Tuesday

New York Knicks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Porzingis is battling knee irritation and won't be able to suit up for Tuesday's contest. The Knicks will also be without forward/center Kyle O'Quinn (calf). Both Lance Thomas and Michael Beasley should be looking at extended […]

Skal Labissiere Probable Against Orlando

Sacramento Kings forward/center Skal Labissiere (shoulder) is probable to play against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. He scored a season-high 23 points with four rebounds, two assists, one block and one triple in Monday's loss to Charlotte. Skal's value should continue to increase with the Kings committed to letting their youngsters play. It's hard to […]

Zach Randolph is Questionable on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Zach Randolph (knee) is listed as questionable to play against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. He did not play Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets, but that was likely due to the resting pattern in Sacramento. Randolph is expected to play 20-plus minutes on Tuesday, but he could end up sitting out both […]

Iman Shumpert Questionable on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Iman Shumpert (knee, foot) is listed as questionable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. Shumpert hasn't played since late November but has been making progress lately. He's been practicing with the team and could return to the court soon. The Cavs have a crowded back court, and it would […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Probable on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Achilles) is probable to play against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. He's missed each of the last two games, but has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's contest. Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out, and Brandon Ingram (ankle) is probable against Boston. If KCP returns, expect Josh Hart […]

Dillon Brooks Questionable on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (illness) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Brooks has been hot lately, scoring at least 10 points in each of the last four games. The Grizzlies are banged up, so Brooks is taking advantage of his opportunity. Owners should keep him, because if the Grizzlies keep […]

Mario Chalmers Questionable on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. He sat out of Saturday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Grizzlies are sitting at 16 wins, so they don't need to rush Chalmers back to the court. Andrew Harrison should have plenty on his plate if Chalmers […]

John Wall Expected to Play Monday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (illness) is expected to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. He missed morning shootaround, but it sounds like Washington just decided to play it safe. He's coming off a double-double performance on Friday and is just feeling a little under the weather. He could be a risky option […]

Goran Dragic and Tyler Johnson Ruled Out

Miami Heat guards Goran Dragic (knee) and Tyler Johnson (ankle) have been ruled out of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Johnson continues to miss time with a sprained ankle and Dragic will be forced to the sidelines for the second straight game. Josh Richardson and James Johnson will handle the ball a bunch with […]
