Jalen Brunson Will Play On Thursday
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) is officially available for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Quickley should still have […]
Bennedict Mathurin Unable To Return On Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Kevin Porter Jr. Sits Out Thursday's Action
Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) won't play Thursday against Indiana.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) is set to return from a two-game absence Thursday versus the Hornets, with the team listing him as probable for the contest.

Jrue Holiday Back On Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (neck) will be back from a one-game absence Thursday against the Nets. He was already probable for the contest and it's now official that Holiday has recovered well enough from neck soreness to take the court. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) having been ruled out of the contest, Holiday is […]

CJ McCollum Leads The Way In Win Over Mavericks
New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum couldn't be contained as he finished with the highest amount of points out of everyone in the game. During their seven-point win over the Dallas Mavericks, the veteran combo guard posted 32 points, five rebounds, and five assists on an efficient 12-for-22 shooting and 6-for-8 from deep. Despite his […]

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks.

Luka Doncic Pulled Early During Wednesday's Game
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thigh) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 24-year-old was already dealing with a thigh issue heading into this game. It sounds like Doncic made the issue worse by playing in Wednesday's contest. He was pulled out during the third quarter and replaced […]
Spencer Dinwiddie Resting Thursday
Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (rest) joins a long list of players sitting out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Dinwiddie is one of three starters who will sit out Thursday, but should be good to go for Friday's game. Edmond Sumner, Seth Curry and Patty Mills should all see increased minutes on Thursday. […]
Payton Pritchard Ruled Out Versus Blazers
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (heel) will not play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Pritchard has been in and out of the lineup the past couple weeks and does not have a clear role carved out for himself while healthy. Sam Hauser should see a slight increase in minutes on Wednesday while Derrick […]
Ja Morant Will Miss At Least The Next Four Games
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (personal) will remain away from the team for at least the next four games. There was originally no timetable for Morant's return so this at least gives a short timeframe of Morant's absence. Tyus Jones will continue to start and is a must-roster player while Morant is sidelined. Based on […]
Monte Morris Will Play Off The Bench Wednesday
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) will return to action Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. However, Morris will come off the bench as Delon Wright has cemented himself as the starting point guard. Morris was serviceable as Washington's starter for most of the season, but can be safely left on the wire despite returning. Wright […]
Monte Morris Questionable On Wednesday
Washington Wizards point guard Monte Morris (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He has missed six straight games with a lower back problem and it's far from certain that he can return on Wednesday, as the team has listed Morris as questionable for prior games as well. Delon Wright has been starting in […]
Anfernee Simons Remains Unavailable Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with Boston. The 23-year-old has played in only one of the team's last seven games as he tries to recover from a right ankle sprain. Simons has had an impressive year, scoring a career-high 21.1 points in 35.3 minutes. Cam Reddish and […]
Payton Pritchard Questionable For Wednesday
Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Portland. He's bothered by left heel pain and might have to sit out for a sixth time in the past nine games. Pritchard has played a minimal part in Boston's rotation and his absence shouldn't impact things at all Wednesday, […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Sinks The Warriors With 33 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has now posted back-to-back 30-point games since returning from injury. The 24-year-old ended the nine-point win with 33 points, three rebounds, six assists, and two steals on 14-for-24 shooting overall and 2-for-5 from beyond the arc. If it wasn't for the fact that the Thunder are the 11th seed […]

The rookie combo guard ended the game with 26 points, 12 assists, five rebounds, and one steal while shooting 9-for-20 from the floor and 3-for-6 from three. He's had quite an inconsistent season, especially […]

The 29-year-old registered 32 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block on 14-for-21 shooting overall and 1-for-2 from three. Beal has helped the Wizards win some meaningful games […]
Kyle Lowry Sitting Out Again On Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) remains out ahead of Wednesday's showdown against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's another absence for the veteran, who has been sidelined for over a month because of left knee soreness. It's anyone's guess how much longer he'll be out of the lineup. However, until Lowry is ready to return, Gabe […]
James Harden Will Not Play Against T-Wolves
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) has been ruled out Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Harden is being listed out with foot soreness, but it is likely a rest day for the veteran guard on the second night of a back-to-back. With Harden out, De'Anthony Melton and Tyrese Maxey should see extra minutes and usage. […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams Ruled Out Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) and Jalen Williams (wrist) will not travel with the team ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Phoenix Suns.

James Harden Listed As Questionable Against Minnesota
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) received a questionable tag on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran floor general is fresh off of a 20-assist game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, so the questionable status could just be to see if he feels ok enough to play by shootaround. Doc Rivers and the […]
Jrue Holiday Downgraded To Out On Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (neck) was originally listed as questionable for their game on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. He has since been downgraded to out and will watch from the sidelines. The 32-year-old hopefully will only have to miss one game with this neck soreness as Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) will also be out. […]
