Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden exploded for 40 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, two triples, and two steals in a 124-115 win over Indiana on Wednesday.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoChristian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Have Minutes Restrictions
Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) will be back in action on Wednesday against the Warriors.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) had another scan on Wednesday for his injured hamstring.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoJeremy Lamb Ruled Out Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Nets. Lamb was listed as questionable but will be sidelined for the third straight game with knee soreness.

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton will enter the starting five on Wednesday against the Wizards.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoJames Wiseman, Eric Paschall Out Against Rockets
Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman and forward Eric Paschall are out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets. It's unclear at this moment how long both players will be out, though it presents a clear opportunity in the Warriors front court.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoKemba Walker, Tristan Thompson Won't Play Against Cleveland
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland. Center Tristan Thompson (health and safety protocols) remains out. Neither absence is surprising, given that Walker generally has been rested on the second half of back-to-backs this year- and Thompson has already been sidelined for one game. Jayson Tatum and […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoKevin Love Ruled Out Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. This will be Love's second game on the sidelines after suffering a setback in his return on Sunday.

Ball added three rebounds, three triples, and two steals in 35 minutes. The former Bruin had just two turnovers, so it was a very efficient and impressive performance given the difficulty […]

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios struggled in his third outing of the spring on Tuesday against the Pirates. Berrios pitched four innings, allowing eight hits, four runs, and a walk while striking out just one batter.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoJorge Polanco Has Left Adductor Tightness
Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (groin) was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Pirates early due to left adductor tightness.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoChristian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out Tuesday
Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Hawks.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoBam Adebayo To Suit Up Against The Cavaliers
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will suit up against Cleveland on Tuesday. Adebayo had previously tried to play through his knee tendonitis, though the Heat sat him for four games.

Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington (groin) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Raptors. Ellington missed Monday's game, with head coach Dwane Casey saying that he didn't expect it to be a long absence.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoJeremy Lamb Questionable Against Brooklyn On Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Lamb has missed the last two contests with the knee ailment, though he at least has a chance of taking the court for a matchup against one of the East's best. Doug McDermott should again benefit from added opportunities, as should […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDavis Bertans Off The Injury Report For Wednesday
Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf, knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings. Bertans didn't practice on Tuesday but appears to be in line to suit up against Sacramento, who has allowed the eighth-most made threes per game in the league.
