Dennis Schroder Tagged As Questionable
Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This isn't surprising considering Schroder tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's game. He was able to play through the issue, but possibly will sit this one out to rest. Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is considered probable for this game, […]
Ben Simmons Considered Week-To-Week
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is unlikely to take the court anytime soon. The organization is currently considering him week-to-week with no clear timetable in sight. He hasn't been able to do 5-on-5 workouts yet, so it doesn't sound like Simmons is close. In fact, there's a chance that Simmons doesn't play at all […]
Mike Conley To Ramp Up Playing Time
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley is expected to ramp up his playing time going forward. The veteran guard was being held out of back-to-back sets up to this point. However, the Jazz have decided to lift that restriction and give Conley more minutes. Currently, Conley is playing around 28 minutes per contest. That should increase […]
Stephen Curry Drops 34 Points In Defeat
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry finished with 34 points after firing up 16 three-point attempts during Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves.

While Curry knocked down five triples, the […]
Russell Westbrook Logs Zero-Turnover Outing
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook began March in a similar shooting funk to the one that engulfed him during February. Westbrook was able to deliver 12 points, eight assists, six rebounds, and two steals in Tuesday's defeat to Dallas, but he shot 5-for-17 overall, including going 0-for-4 from behind the arc. Head coach […]
Luguentz Dort Not Available On Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the sixth game in a row that Dort has missed due a left shoulder sprain. The Thunder haven't given a timetable for his return, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Dort to return anytime soon. In […]
Aaron Holiday Will Return For Wednesday’s Contest
Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Aaron Holiday (ankle) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game with Portland, clearing him to suit up. Holiday has averaged 7.8 points on 59.3 percent shooting overall in five games since joining the Suns, although his role off the bench could get complicated upon the return […]
Cameron Payne Likely To Return For Wednesday’s Game
Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (wrist) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday's contest against Portland.

Darius Garland Draws Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (back) has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the Hornets as he continues to work through a sore lower back.

Kevin Porter Jr. Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest
Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, marking his second straight absence due to a sprained left ankle.

Isaiah Thomas Signing 10-Day Deal With Hornets
Free-agent guard Isaiah Thomas is signing a 10-day deal with the Charlotte Hornets. The 33-year-old guard has spent time with both the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks this season. The Hornets are looking for depth behind LaMelo Ball and Thomas could be a decent option. There's a good chance that Thomas only sees minutes […]
Fred Vanvleet Questionable Against Nets
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He sat out of Monday's contest, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Vanvleet miss Tuesday's game as well. The Raptors were able to easily handle the Nets without Vanvleet on the floor. Malachi Flynn started and played […]
DeAndre Jordan Likely To Be Waived
Los Angeles Lakers center DeAndre Jordan is expected to be waived by the organization. The Lakers are reportedly planning on signing veteran guard D.J. Augustin. That being said, Jordan appears to be the odd man out, assuming they do sign Augustin. Jordan hasn't made much of an impact in Los Angeles, but could help another […]
Darius Garland Remains Without Timetable
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) doesn't have a clear timetable, according to head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The issue is mostly pain tolerance and some mobility issues. That being said, the Cavs want Garland to rest and get back to 100 percent before returning to the court. The hope is that Garland will be able […]
Patty Mills Getting The Nod Versus Raptors
Brooklyn Nets guard Patty Mills will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Gabe Vincent To Start Against Bulls
Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Tucker and Duncan Robinson in the starting five for Monday. Vincent […]

Damian Lillard Out At Least Two More Weeks
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) will be re-evaluated in two or three weeks. He underwent surgery in January to address a lingering abdominal issue. It sounds like the All-Star guard is making progress, but will still be sidelined for a few more weeks. Possibly, Lillard is able to return in time to make […]
Luguentz Dort Remains Out Versus Kings
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This marks his fifth game in a row that he has missed due to a shoulder issue. Josh Giddey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should see increased usage without Dort on the court. Also, Tre Mann is a decent […]
