Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is probable for Saturday's clash against the Nuggets. There have been rumblings that he was trending in the right direction for Game 1.

Utah Jazz guard Trent Forrest (foot) isn't available for Game 1 of the series matchup against Dallas. He is on the shelf because of a left foot sprain.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoFrank Ntilikina Out For Game 1
Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) isn't available for the opening round matchup versus Utah on Saturday. He doesn't have COVID-19, which is good. However, the 2017 No. 8 overall pick recently underwent a tonsillectomy, so there's a chance he may be sidelined beyond Game 1 as well. With Luka Doncic (calf) also out, Ntilikina […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoTerance Mann Will Start Against New Orleans
Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann will start during Friday's matchup versus the Pelicans. Paul George (illness) is out with COVID-19, and Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play either, so Mann has the opportunity to exceed his DFS value. The 25-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds throughout 33 regular-season appearances in the starting lineup. While […]

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Memphis.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoLuke Kennard Out Versus Pelicans
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play during Friday's play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Paul George (illness) isn't available either after testing positive for COVID-19, so L.A. will undoubtedly be lacking on the offensive end for this one. Head coach Ty Lue has remained mum regarding his starting lineup. However, it's […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJamal Murray "Doubtful" For Postseason
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) isn't expected to see action this postseason. "I would lean more towards him being doubtful at this time," said head coach Michael Malone, who's been without Murray and Michael Porter Jr. (spine), two of his top scoring options.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) will play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. He will start, making his first appearance since breaking a finger on his left hand over a month ago.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBogdan Bogdanovic Will Be In The Lineup On Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will play on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bogdanovic has been dealing with a sprained left ankle. However, after riding a questionable tag throughout the day, the 29-year-old is good to go. He's also been plagued by a knee issue throughout most of the season, so DFS managers should […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBen Simmons "Hasn't Been Able To Do Anything Yet"
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) hasn't been "able to do anything yet" in practice, a statement head coach Steve Nash made during an interview with reporters on Friday.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoD.K. Metcalf Not On The Market
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf isn't going anywhere, at least for now. According to 94WIP's Howard Eskin, the Jets were reportedly eager to acquire Metcalf's services, so much so that New York was willing to part ways with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. However, Seattle declined the offer, making […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBlaine Gabbert Returning To The Bucs
Free-agent quarterback Blaine Gabbert is returning to Tampa Bay.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoKyle Lowry Resting Versus The Hornets
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry won't play against the Hornets.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoT.J. McConnell Returning Versus Philadelphia
Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (wrist) will return on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran hasn't played since December due to right wrist surgery, so there's a chance he could see a minutes cap. However, with Malcolm Brogdon (back) out, McConnell could see an increase in production, even if his workload is limited. […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoGoga Bitadze Sidelined Versus Philly
Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers. While Bitadze had been able to play through his nagging right foot soreness for weeks, the ailment finally caught up to him.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoMalcolm Brogdon To Miss Another Game On Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) isn't available on Tuesday versus Philadelphia. The 29-year-old has missed his last eight games due to lower back soreness, so his absence shouldn't surprise anyone.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoGoran Dragic Remains In COVID Health And Safety Protocols
Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic remains out on Tuesday against Houston. This will be the veteran's second consecutive absence as he continues to adhere to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJalen Suggs Returning On Tuesday Night
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) will return on Tuesday night against Cleveland.

However, he will see the floor and […]
Dennis Clausen 3 years agoBruce Brown Available Against Houston

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoKyle Lowry Resting Against Charlotte
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry won't play against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. The veteran will get the night off to rest, and with Gabe Vincent (toe) questionable, Victor Oladipo may benefit.

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors. The veteran is currently listed on the injury report because of left knee inflammation.
