Joel Embiid Might Return on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hand) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's been out since January 6 due to a torn ligament in his left hand. The Sixers have been using a committee approach to fill the void while Embiid has been out. Matisse Thybulle and Furkan Korkmaz […]

Clint Capela is Doubtful for Monday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's been battling heel soreness since around Christmas, so the Rockets will continue to monitor the issue. Tyson Chandler and Isaiah Hartenstein would be asked to split up the minutes if Capela sits out. Hartenstein would be a […]

Jonas Valanciunas Enjoys Perfect Shooting Night Against Suns

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas had a perfect shooting night in Sunday's win over Phoenix, going 5-for-5 from the field and 2-for-2 at the line to finish with 12 points, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Remember when Joel Anthony was the unsuspected starting center of The Heatles back in the day?

Marquese Chriss (PF/C, GSW): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: After three seasons and a half in the league, it is fair to say Marquese Chriss has been a bust. He is a former 8th-overall draftee but he has far from lived up to the expectations, though the current version of Chriss is […]

Andre Drummond is Probable for Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (lip) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Thon Maker has started each of the last two games, but would head back to the second unit if Drummond […]

Steven Adams is Questionable on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Mike Muscala could be looking at all […]

Nerlens Noel Has Surgery to Repair His Cheek

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (face) had surgery on his cheek and won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

DeAndre Jordan Remains Out on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Willie Cauley-Stein Won't Play on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein won't play in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The trade was official on Saturday afternoon, so Cauley-Stein won't be ready for this matchup. Dwight Powell (Achilles) is done for the rest of the season, so the Mavs needed to add some depth. However, Maximilian Kleber is playing well right […]
