Luka Doncic Will Play Against The Nets
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Tuesday against the Nets.

Tyrese Maxey Will Sit Out Against Charlotte
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

There should be more shots for Milton and possibly Seth […]
Ish Smith Unavailable For Monday
Charlotte Hornets guard Ish Smith has been placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols. That means, Smith along with a handful of other players won't be available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Gordon Hayward and Miles Bridges should operate as the primary playmakers in this one. James Bouknight could finally see meaningful […]
Cory Joseph Won't Play Monday
Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was listed as doubtful heading into this contest due to right knee inflammation.

Trae Young Playing Against Hornets
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) will play on Sunday against the Hornets. The 23-year-old was listed as questionable throughout the day on the league's official injury report because of left knee soreness.

Trae Young Listed As Questionable For Sunday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Hawks could be shorthanded with Cam Reddish (illness) and Kevin Huerter (quad) both listed as questionable as well.

Luka Doncic Out On Saturday Night
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) isn't available for Saturday's matchup with Memphis. The 22-year-old is dealing with left ankle soreness after logging 34 minutes versus New Orleans on Friday evening and finishing with 21 points, 10 boards, and seven assists. Nonetheless, Doncic is likely getting the night off, especially since the issue forced him […]
George Hill Expected To Play On Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (knee) is expected to play on Saturday against Miami. The veteran sits on the injury report after he hyperextended his right knee. However, Hill should be good to go, and after playing at least 25 minutes in each of his last five games, there is plenty of upside against the […]
Coby White Remains Out On Saturday Evening
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (illness) remains listed on the league's official injury report and won't be available against the Nets on Saturday. The 21-year-old recently tested positive for COVID-19, which is unfortunate considering he returned just a few weeks ago after missing the start of the year while recovering from left shoulder surgery. Javonte […]

LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier Enter COVID-19 Protocols
Charlotte Hornets guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier are expected to miss several games. Both players have entered the league's health and safety protocols. That being said, Ish Smith and Kelly Oubre Jr. should be asked to play significant roles while they're sidelined. The Hornets are going to be shorthanded, so both players should be […]
Eric Bledsoe Will Come Off The Bench On Friday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Clippers have lost four of their last five games, so it's not surprising that they've decided to shake it up. Bledsoe should still have decent appeal off the bench, but there are probably better options […]
Anfernee Simons Won't Play Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was seen leaving the arena in a boot after Thursday's contest.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Lands In Concussion Protocol
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, a move that rules him out for Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies.

T.J. McConnell To Miss Significant Time
Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (wrist) is expected to miss significant time, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. The organization is still evaluating McConnell after he suffered a right wrist injury. Brad Wanamaker was asked to pick up the slack on Wednesday.
