Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) won't play during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus Boston.

Houston Rockets guard John Wall is expected to exercise his $47.4 million player option for next season. He'll be the second-highest paid player in the league behind Stephen Curry.

Marcus Smart Has A Solid Showing Against Bucks

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart finished with 21 points during the win over Milwaukee on Friday night. The veteran was an effective presence offensively for his club, going 8-for-16 from the field and 5-for-9 deep while adding seven assists and five rebounds.

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is questionable ahead of Thursday's pivotal playoff matchup against Philadelphia. The 25-year-old continues to be plagued by right knee irritation.

Ja Morant Could Avoid Surgery

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) has already been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against the Golden State Warriors. In fact, there's a good chance that Morant doesn't play again this season. However, the organization doesn't believe that Morant will require surgery. The Grizzlies are already down 3-1, so it'd be shocking if […]

Kyle Lowry Won't Play In Game 6

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) won't play on Thursday night against the 76ers.

Chris Paul Dishes Out 10 Assists In Game 5 Win

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul compiled a game-high 10 assists during his team's Game 5 victory Tuesday.

Having finished with seven points, two rebounds, and four turnovers, it ultimately marked another […]

Luka Doncic Compiles 28-Point Double-Double In Game 5

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic unsurprisingly served as the team's offensive focal point during Tuesday's defeat to the Suns.

Ja Morant Will Miss Game 5

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors. This doesn't come as a surprise since Morant missed their last contest and was doubtful for Wednesday. Tyus Jones should remain in the starting five and be an interesting DFS option. Morant could very well miss […]

Kyle Lowry Unavailable For Game 5

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers. This shouldn't come as a shock considering Lowry re-aggravated his hamstring in Game 4. The Heat will play it safe and have Lowry sidelined for this contest. That might actually benefit the Heat since Lowry has been […]

Stephen Curry Finishes With 32 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry helped his team come back and eventually pull out the victory on Monday. Curry wasn't on his A-game, but still did enough to help his team get the win.
