Tyler Johnson Questionable on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The Heat won't have a shootaround on Wednesday, so Johnson is likely going to be a game-time decision. Johnson said his shoulder flared up on him during shootaround on Tuesday. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so […]

Myles Turner Out Next Two Games

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) will miss at least the next two games for the Pacers. Turner will be inactive against the Miami Heat on Wednesday as well as Friday's contest against Cleveland. Domantas Sabonis will move into the starting five for the next few games. He's someone worth thinking about in DFS and […]

Nikola Mirotic Doubtful on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is doubtful to play against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He did not go through shootaround, and it's looking like Mirotic will miss his second game in a row. The Bulls have just one more game until Jan. 15 (when Mirotic can be traded), so he may have […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out for the Cavs upcoming two-game road trip. Rose will not play in Thursday's contest with Toronto or Friday against Indiana. Rose is getting close but is not quite ready yet. There is a chance that Rose is able to play on Jan. 15 when […]

Kevin Durant Will Play Against Clippers

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) will play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Durant will be returning from a three-game absence, but the Warriors won all three contests without him. There is no word on any minutes limit for Durant on Wednesday.

Jeff Teague Questionable on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

Derrick Favors Probable Versus Wizards

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It's odd to see Favors pop up on the injury report with an ankle injury. It didn't appear to be an issue in Sunday's loss to the Heat. Favors played 32 minutes, scoring 11 points with 10 rebounds. It's likely […]

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out Tuesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (tailbone) will not play against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Lowry crashed to the floor during Monday's contest and then fell again trying to get up. It seemed serious at the time, but the X-rays came back negative and he's considered day-to-day. Lowry could even be back in the […]

Michael Beasley Questionable for Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley (ankle) is questionable to play against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (hip, back) is probable to play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Head coach Scott Brooks said Porter will be "good to go" for Wednesday's contest. Porter was a full participant during Tuesday's practice. It's looking like just a one-game absence for Porter, and there's no indication that he'll be under […]

Al Horford Says He'll Play Thursday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) said he'll be able to play Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Horford was unable to play on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets due to knee soreness. The good news is Horford was able to get through full practice on Tuesday and is on track to return on Thursday. He's […]

George Hill Will Not Play Monday

Sacramento Kings guard George Hill (personal) will not play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. Hill is away with his wife who is due to give birth any day now.

Kevin Durant Ruled Out Against Nuggets

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. He was able to participate in shootaround and was listed as questionable.

Nikola Mirotic Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is doubtful to play against the Houston Rockets on Monday. Mirotic has a stomach virus and wasn't at morning shootaround on Monday.

Stanley Johnson Questionable Against Pelicans

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) is questionable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. He went through shootaround, which is a good sign moving forward. Johnson and Drummond both went through shootaround, but Drummond seems more likely to play. He's listed as probable, while Johnson is still tagged questionable. Regardless, Reggie Bullock […]

Andre Drummond Probable on Monday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (ribs) is probable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. He went through shootaround and is on track to play on Monday.

Caris LeVert Probable on Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) says he will play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. The Nets held him out two games to make sure he was 100 percent before clearing him to play.
