Hassan Whiteside Likely To Miss Another Game

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Chimezie Metu has seen a boost in value without […]

Brayden Point Ends Dry Spell With Two Goals

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point ended a four-game pointless streak with two goals in Thursday's 3-2 win over Columbus.

Khem Birch Leaves Thursday With Illness

Orlando Magic forward/center Khem Birch (illness) will not return Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans after leaving with an undisclosed illness.
