Anthony Davis Likely To Play Thursday

Deandre Ayton Questionable For Thursday's Game

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (leg) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee), who has yet to play this season, will take the court for the first time on Wednesday against the Pacers.

Maxi Kleber Won't Play Against Spurs

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (oblique) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It appears the Mavs big man will miss both games of the back-to-back set.
