Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Daniel Gafford would likely be […]

Steven Adams Uncertain For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (shoulder) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran big man appears to be dealing with shoulder soreness, but might be able to play through it.

Domantas Sabonis Puts Up Strong Stat Line Against Bucks

Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis was just three assists shy of his 20th career triple-double.
