Paolo Banchero Could Miss Sunday's Finale

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) is questionable heading into Sunday's game in Atlanta. He didn't suit up for Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers.

If Banchero, Franz Wagner (knee), Wendell Carter Jr. (hip), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) […]

Bobby Portis Taking Sunday Off

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (rest) won't suit up against Detroit on Sunday. He had a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double when these clubs met on Friday evening. However, his services won't be needed for this one, especially since Milwaukee has nothing to gain or lose on Sunday. Brook Lopez (rest) also won't play, and Giannis Antetokounmpo […]

Kyle Kuzma Probable For Season Finale

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is probable for Sunday's rematch with the Pistons. Brook Lopez (rest) and Bobby Portis (rest) won't play, and Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is doubtful. As a result, Kuzma could bounce between the four and five spots. Although he might see fewer minutes than normal, he should be more productive than […]

Brook Lopez Resting On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (rest) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. These clubs met on Friday night, with Lopez finishing with 15 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. However, Milwaukee is heading into the playoffs having already secured the No. 5 seed, so most of the team's core performers, including Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder), also […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Not Expected To Play On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's rematch against the Pistons. Milwaukee is locked into the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, so the multi-time All-Star will likely sit this one out after producing a 32-point, 15-assist, 11-rebound triple-double in the win over Detroit on Friday night. Bobby Portis (rest) and […]

OG Anunoby, Josh Hart Will Play On Friday

New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Pascal Siakam Won't Play Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Friday against Orlando. The former Raptor had 10 points and eight boards in Thursday's win over the Cavs. However, the Pacers are locked into a playoff spot, so Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Aaron Nesmith (rest), Andrew Nembhard (thumb), and Myles Turner (knee) also won't suit up. […]

Myles Turner Ruled Out On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (knee) won't play on Friday against the Magic. The Pacers are going to the playoffs. As a result, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Pascal Siakam (elbow), Aaron Nesmith (rest), and Andrew Nembhard (thumb) also won't suit up. But as far the middle is concerned, Thomas Bryant, averaging 12.6 points and 8.0 rebounds […]

Tyrese Haliburton Won't Face The Magic

The Pacers are expected to enter the postseason as the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, so Myles Turner (knee), Pascal Siakam […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Sidelined Versus The Pacers

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) won't play on Friday against the Pacers. He logged 22 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. However, the Magic are locked into the Play-In tournament, so Orlando also won't have Franz Wagner (knee), Paolo Banchero (ankle), and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) in the lineup on Friday evening. […]

Franz Wagner Won't Play Against Indiana

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (knee) won't play against the Pacers on Friday. Orlando is already locked into the Play-In tournament. As such, Paolo Banchero (ankle), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee), and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will join Wagner on the shelf. With that in mind, Cole Anthony is still available, so it's logical to assume he […]

Paolo Banchero Ruled Out Against Indiana

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't play on Friday against Indiana. The Magic are bound for the Play-In tournament, so the team will give Banchero, Franz Wagner (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee), and Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) the night off. As a result, DFS managers could see increased production from Cole Anthony, Goga Bitadze, Caleb […]

Trae Young Available Versus Philly

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is cleared to play in Friday's meeting with the 76ers. The former Oklahoma Sooner had a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. As usual, he was listed on the injury report because of Achilles Tendinitis. But the Hawks need to secure the No. 8 seed […]

In addition, Embiid wasn't productive, at least compared to previous season, averaging […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Against New Orleans

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) will suit up for Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans. The multi-time All-Star has appeared on the injury due to numerous injuries throughout the year. But, this time, he's listed because of an illness. With that said, the Pelicans are shorthanded, so Antetokounmpo may ride the bench more than usual […]

Jarrett Allen To See Limited Action On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is available for Thursday's meeting with the Pacers. With Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (ankle), Evan Mobley (rest), and Max Strus (knee) getting the night off, Allen is the only starter who will get on the floor. However, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson, the former Net will play in […]

Alperen Sengun Sidelined Against The Clippers

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Houston will enter the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

Jaylen Brown Downgraded On Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. He was listed as questionable. However, it appeared he at least had a chance of playing, considering he was warming up. With that in mind, the C's have already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so Jayson Tatum (ankle), Derrick […]

Anthony Davis Cleared To Face His Former Team

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is available to play on Wednesday against the Lakers. AD has frequented the injury report often this season because of a left adductor strain. That isn't expected to change anytime soon. However, with the Mavs having last played on Saturday, he had plenty of time to get ready for […]

Quentin Grimes Good To Go On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (back) will play on Wednesday against Washington. He popped up on the injury report because of back soreness after scoring 29 points in 38 minutes in Monday's loss to the Miami Heat. Fortunately, the 24-year-old is good to go. It will continue to be a skeleton crew for Philly on […]

Mark Williams Ruled Out Versus The Raptors

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Wednesday against the Raptors. He logged 31 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies. But, as has been the case, Williams will sit this one out to rest his ailing left foot. Without Williams in the mix, Jusuf Nurkic, who had eight points, eight rebounds, and […]

Miles Bridges Sidelined On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (hip) won't play on Wednesday against Toronto. He logged 30 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. However, the Hornets were eliminated from Postseason contention long ago, so it's unknown if the hip soreness will keep Bridges off the floor for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Without Bridges […]

Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against Orlando on Wednesday. The shoulder injury is nothing new. However, the Celtics have nothing to gain or lose on Wednesday night, so Holiday can get a much-needed night off after logging 37 minutes in Tuesday's overtime win over the New York Knicks. Derrick White (ankle) is […]

Derrick White Won't Suit Up Versus The Magic

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against Orlando. The Celtics secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, so the team can afford to give their core performers a night off, with Jayson Tatum (ankle), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Al Horford (knee) already ruled out. In addition, […]

Kristaps Porzingis Won't Face Orlando

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Magic. He had a team-high 34 points in Tuesday's overtime win over the New York Knicks.

Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It […]

Jrue Holiday Probable For Tuesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is probable for Tuesday's encounter with the New York Knicks. The veteran continues to battle a right shoulder issue.
