Jakob Poeltl Taking The Night Off Saturday

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see the Spurs resting a few of their players. Drew Eubanks and Gorgui Dieng should see more minutes coming their way. Luka Samanic might […]

Mo Bamba Might Play Against Rockets

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has missed each of the last two games due to a hip issue. It does sound like he's close to returning, which is not good news for Donta Hall's fantasy value. Wendell Carter Jr. will lose a […]

Blake Wheeler Remains Out On Saturday

Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler (upper body) has been medically cleared to return to action, but he won't play on Saturday against Edmonton. The Jets captain has been missing since April 5.

Andre Drummond Returning Against Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) is expected to be back in the starting five for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Mike Conley, Rudy Gobert Resting On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) and center Rudy Gobert (rest) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
