Bones Hyland Hurts Right Ankle In Sunday's Win
Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (ankle) logged just nine minutes of action Sunday against Orlando, leaving the game with a sprained right ankle.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been out for the team's last four games and is uncertain to return to the floor on Monday against the Golden State Warriors.

John Wall To Miss Next Two Weeks
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is set to miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Clippers have decided to shut down the veteran guard for a couple of weeks while he recovers from an abdominal strain. His absence should mean that Terance Mann continues to get significant playing time in […]
Daishen Nix To Make First Career Start
Houston Rockets guard Daishen Nix is set to make his first career NBA start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Rockets are shorthanded with Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) injured and Jalen Green serving his one-game suspension. That being said, Nix will get a chance to show what he can do in the starting […]
Stephen Curry Available For Back-To-Back Set
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (shoulder) is available for the upcoming back-to-back set. The 34-year-old is coming off a left shoulder injury that sidelined him for multiple weeks.

John Wall Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is not expected to play against the Houston Rockets. The veteran logged 29 minutes on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. However, he's now dealing with abdominal soreness, so he's on track to join Luke Kennard (calf) and Paul George (hamstring) on […]
Kevin Porter Jr. Unlikely To Play Against The Clippers
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) is doubtful ahead of the meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 22-year-old is on track to miss his second consecutive game because of a foot contusion, which should keep Kenyon Martin Jr. in the starting lineup. Martin has averaged 12.6 points and 5.8 boards in nine starts […]
Derrick White Suffers Neck Injury On Saturday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) was injured during the win over the Charlotte Hornets. The former Spur logged only four minutes before suffering a neck strain resulting from a collision with Marcus Smart. It's certainly possible White may miss some games because of the ailment, which wouldn't be ideal considering the C's have also […]
Damian Lillard Available For Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Collin Sexton To Rest On Saturday
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (rest) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old returned to the rotation on Friday, so it's not shocking to see him sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back set. Veteran guard Mike Conley (rest) will return to the rotation and help fill the […]
Donovan Mitchell Available On Saturday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar guard was feeling under the weather, but appears healthy enough to suit up on Saturday. He's coming off a 26-point outing against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. He should continue to be a strong fantasy option, […]
Malcolm Brogdon Upgraded To Available
Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (personal) has been upgraded to available for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran guard was uncertain coming into this game due to personal reasons. However, it appears the 30-year-old is good to go, which is great news for Boston. This team is still without Jaylen Brown (groin), so […]
Jalen Brunson Continues Scoring Tear With 34 Points
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson continued to crush it offensively against Washington on Friday, leading the team with 34 points in a 112-108 victory.

Malcolm Brogdon May Not Play Against Charlotte

The 30-year-old has averaged 13.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while shooting a career-high 44.3% from deep this season. However, with Jaylen Brown (adductor) out for this one, Brogdon could easily see an uptick in production if he plays. But if […]
Kyle Lowry Out Again On Saturday
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) remains out for Saturday's matinee against Milwaukee. The veteran has been bothered by left knee discomfort, costing him his previous two games. As a result, Gabe Vincent, who had a game-high 28 points in the first of consecutive outings with the Bucks on Thursday night, should remain with the […]
Kevin Porter Jr. Misses Friday's Game
Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) will miss his second game of the season Friday versus Sacramento. He hurt his left foot in a collision with teammate Jae'Sean Tate Wednesday when these two teams also met. Porter Jr. exited after logging only 10 minutes and his absence gave more playmaking duties to Jalen […]
Mike Conley Rested On Friday
Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley will be rested for Friday's clash with Orlando. It's the first leg of a back-to-back for the team and Utah is keeping the veteran floor general fresh for Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. Conley has had an up-and-down ride in Utah this season but is averaging a career-high 7.5 assists, […]
Collin Sexton Returns With A Minutes Limit
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) will make a return to the lineup Friday versus Orlando but will have a minutes restriction. He has missed the past five games with a right hamstring injury. Sexton's debut campaign in Salt Lake City hasn't gone too well, with him stuck in a reserve role and averaging only […]
Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss At Least Two Weeks
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) will be re-evaluated in the next two weeks after being diagnosed with a left elbow sprain and mild left knee contusion. The 22-year-old was in the middle of his best season yet and has consistently been in the top 10 for category formats this year. He likely won't […]

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball had a solid offensive game despite the 10-point loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. The 21-year-old posted 32 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and two steals on 11-for-19 shooting from the floor and 4-for-10 from deep. Since returning from his second injury stint, his scoring and playmaking have returned […]
Luka Doncic Records His 10th Triple-Double Of The Season
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic dropped yet another triple-double in a double-overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. The 23-year-old out of Slovenia registered 35 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 14-for-28 overall and 4-for-9 from beyond the arc. As we've seen all season, the MVP candidate […]
