Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is officially considered questionable ahead of Sunday's playoff meeting with the Hawks. Lowry, who injured his left hamstring late in the third quarter during Friday's loss, didn't practice on Saturday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra labeled the veteran as day-to-day. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Lowry isn't out […]
Gabe Vincent Expected To Play In Game 4
Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (toe) is expected to be in the lineup during Sunday's playoff battle with the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old is dealing with a right great toe contusion, although he's continued to play through the ailment, so his name listed on the league's official injury report should be considered a formality at […]
Frank Ntilikina Ruled Out For Game 4
Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) has been ruled out for Game 4 against the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Ntilikina hasn't suited up since April 8 due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence won't make an impact on the Mavericks rotation. Luckily, Luka Doncic (calf) has been cleared to play. Jalen Brunson and Spencer […]
Fred Vanvleet Won't Return On Saturday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's Game 4 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He suffered a left hip strain before halftime and won't return to this game. The Raptors are already down 3-0 in this series, so they'll look to stay alive without Vanvleet. He finished […]
Luka Doncic Will Play In Game 4
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) will be available for Saturday's Game 4 matchup against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star guard was expected to play here after missing the first three games of this series. Luckily, Jalen Brunson has picked up the slack and helped the Mavs take a 2-1 series lead. It's uncertain if […]
Kyle Lowry Considered Day-To-Day
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) didn't practice on Saturday. The veteran injured his left hamstring late in the third quarter of Friday's postseason loss to Atlanta. Head coach Erik Spoelstra considers Lowry day-to-day, although he will receive round-the-clock treatment leading up to Game 4 on Sunday. Nonetheless, if the former Raptor can't go, Gabe […]
Fred VanVleet Heads Back To The Locker Room In Game 4
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet exited Saturday's postseason matchup against the 76ers. VanVleet, who has been bothered by a knee injury, was observed limping and in obvious pain before tearing his jersey in frustration. He's back in the locker room, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he doesn't return to Game 4. As a […]
Luka Doncic Upgraded Ahead Of Game 4
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is considered probable ahead of the Game 4 playoff outing against the Jazz. The 23-year-old hasn't been available this postseason because of a left calf strain, although it remains possible he won't receive his usual workload. As a result, Jalen Brunson, who has averaged 32 points during the series […]
Kyle Lowry Leaves Game 3 With Leg Injury

According to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, Doncic went through a full practice on Friday and he is lined up […]
Frank Ntilikina Questionable For Game 4
Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is questionable ahead of the Game 4 postseason outing versus Utah. The 23-year-old is recovering from a tonsillectomy and hasn't played in a few weeks. However, even if Ntilikina is available and Luka Doncic (calf) isn't, the 2017 No. 8 overall pick shouldn't be an attractive option for DFS […]
Ben Simmons To Play In Game 4, Barring A Setback
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons will suit up for Game 4 of the postseason series against the Celtics on Monday evening, barring a setback. Simmons hasn't played all season and was dealt by Philadelphia for James Harden ahead of the trade deadline. It isn't known if the former LSU Tiger has improved on the offensive […]
George Hill Out For Game 3
Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (abdomen) is out on Friday night. The veteran hasn't played at all during the postseason series with the Bulls, which is unfortunate considering Milwaukee will be without Khris Middleton for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, even if Hill makes it back, he likely won't see enough minutes to make a difference […]
Charlotte Fires Head Coach James Borrego
The Charlotte Hornets have chosen to move on from head coach James Borrego, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Borrego led Charlotte to the Play-In Tournament this season, after the team finished 43-39 and featured one of the most exciting young nucleuses in the NBA.

Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole Collect Team-High 27 Points
Golden State Warriors point guards Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole combined to form a nearly unguardable duo (in addition to Klay Thompson, too) in Thursday's Game 3 victory over Denver, with each dropping 27 points. Poole remained in the starting five as Curry reacclimates to a full minutes allotment, with the 22-year-old shooting 9-for-13 overall […]

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard Jalen Brunson led the way offensively during the team's pivotal Game 3 series win Thursday, dropping a team-best 31 points on 12-for-22 shooting, including knocking down all seven of his free throws.

Stephen Curry To Get More Minutes In Game 3
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will get more minutes during the Game 3 playoff meeting against the Nuggets. The veteran continues to recover from a left foot sprain, relegating him to just 22.5 minutes per game in the series with Denver. Curry will likely come off the bench once again on Thursday night, although […]
Frank Ntilikina Out On Thursday Night
Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) won't play on Thursday during the Game 3 matchup versus Utah. Ntilikina continues to recover from a tonsillectomy, although he wasn't expected to have much of a role in the lineup anyway, even with Luka Doncic (calf) out with a left calf strain. Nonetheless, there's a chance the 23-year-old […]
Ben Simmons Playing In Game 4 A "Realistic Target"
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) could be nearing a return, with Game 4 being a realistic target for the former 76er to make his debut. Brooklyn could certainly use him out there, primarily with the Celtics currently owning a two-game lead in the series. Nonetheless, if Simmons makes it back on Monday night, he […]
Luka Doncic Ruled Out For Game 3
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) won't play on Thursday night against Utah. The 23-year-old has already missed the first two games of the series because of a left calf strain.

Ja Morant Records Double-Double In Game 2 Victory
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant logged a 23-point, 10-assist double-double Tuesday en route to a convincing Game 2 win over Minnesota.

Chris Paul Scuffles From Field Amidst 14-Assist Outing
Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul logged his second consecutive double-double to begin the 2022 postseason, but this performance came with the caveat of shooting just 5-for-16 overall.

C.J. McCollum Drills Six Triples In Game 2 Win

George Hill Won't Play In Game 2
Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (abdominal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran guard will miss his third straight game due to an abdominal issue. His absence won't have a huge impact on the Bucks rotation. Jevon Carter saw 10 minutes in Game 1, so he'll probably […]
Mavs Optimistic Luka Doncic Will Return For Game 3
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) has yet to play during the postseason series against the Utah Jazz. He's currently sidelined with a strained left calf. Yet, the team remains hopeful he will return for Game 3. For now, fantasy managers should officially consider Doncic as day-to-day. However, if he can't suit up on Thursday […]
Ben Simmons Cleared For Contact, Plays 4-On-4
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) has been cleared for contact and has been participating in 4-on-4 practice sessions.

The 25-year-old, who was acquired from […]
Tyrese Maxey Nearly Posts Triple-Double
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey nearly put together a career performance versus the Toronto Raptors on Monday.

Maxey knocked down 8-of-11 shots and […]
Jalen Brunson Puts Together Magical Performance
Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson was unreal during Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Utah Jazz.

The Mavericks were without Luka Doncic (calf) once […]
Gabe Vincent Probable For Tuesday
Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (toe) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. He has been dealing with a toe issue for quite awhile now.
