Zeke Nnaji Doubtful Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. Nnaji has suited up for only two of the last 10 games due to an ongoing issue with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per contest. But his absence opens more bench minutes for players like […]

Mo Bamba Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The 25-year-old missed Tuesday's contest against the Thunder.

Mitchell Robinson Back On The Injury Report

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the visiting Kings. After missing over three months because of ankle surgery, he finally returned to the lineup. However, he missed Sunday's loss to OKC but managed to suit up against the Heat on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, Robinson, logged just 10 minutes […]

Nikola Jokic Probable For Thursday Night

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's matchup with the Clippers. The multi-time MVP has routinely appeared on the injury report over the last few weeks.

Joel Embiid Questionable Against The Heat

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable heading into Thursday's Eastern Conference clash with the Heat. Embiid returned from a few months on the shelf for Tuesday's win over OKC.

Anthony Davis, LeBron James Set To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers All-Stars Anthony Davis (knee) and LeBron James (ankle) will play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus Washington. Both saw less than 30 minutes of action on Tuesday against Toronto and should have some extra freshness from the lighter workload. The Wizards have one of the weakest defenses in […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Memphis on Wednesday. Milwaukee finishes off a back-to-back, and Giannis has been upgraded from probable to available.

Myles Turner Misses Wednesday's Game

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Nets.

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is getting a day of rest on Wednesday as the team takes on the Cubs in Chicago.

Luis Campusano Getting A Breather In Series Finale

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano is getting the day off in the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.

Cal Raleigh Getting A Breather Wednesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is getting a rest on Wednesday when the club takes on the Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen. It's a perfect spot to give the switch-hitter a rest as Raleigh owns a .670 OPS against left-handed pitching versus a .749 OPS against righties for his career. The 27-year-old is off […]

Gabriel Moreno Getting A Day Off

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno is receiving a day off for the matinee game on Wednesday versus the visiting New York Yankees.
