Monte Morris, Gary Harris Both Active On Wednesday
Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (shoulder) and guard Gary Harris (groin) will be active for Wednesday's game against the Wizards. Harris hasn't taken the court since Jan. 3, and it's unclear how many minutes he'll be fit to play after such a lengthy absence. The big loser here is Facundo Campazzo, who had 15 points […]
Kyle Lowry Could Sit Out On Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He exited early twice during Tuesday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors take the cautious approach and rest Lowry in this one. Fred Vanvleet would see his usage skyrocket […]
Kemba Walker Sitting Out On Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so Walker will sit out for rest purposes.

Kyrie Irving Listed As Probable Against Lakers
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (back) is probable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving missed the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, but appears on track to play Thursday after dealing with a sore back. Irving's return would push Tyler Johnson back to the bench and take some shot attempts […]
Ish Smith Out 6-8 Weeks
Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (quadriceps) will be out for the next six to eight weeks with a quadriceps injury. The injury firmly cements Raul Neto in the backup point-guard role, and the Wizards will likely also use Bradley Beal as the primary ball-handler more often. Neto would be a great streamer whenever Russell Westbrook sits, […]
Ben Simmons Officially Ruled Out With Flu
Updating a previous report, Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) will sit Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets after being questionable to play. Simmons recently came down with the flu, and the team will exercise caution with their star guard. Tyrese Maxey is the next man up here and could be worth streaming in season-long […]
Ben Simmons Now Questionable Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) popped up on the injury report and is now questionable to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder compiled 24 points, one rebound, three assists, one block, and four steals in 32 minutes during the win over the Wolves on Wednesday. Schroder is averaging 13.9 points per game this season but has been a little streaky all throughout the 2020-21 campaign. What's encouraging is that he's dropped […]
Mike Conley Questionable Against Clippers
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers. Conley has missed his previous five games, so this designation is a step in the right direction. If the veteran remains out, look for Donovan Mitchell to continue to see an increase in usage at the point, with Jordan Clarkson […]
Damian Lillard Goes For 31 Points
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard went for 31 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Pelicans.

Goran Dragic Out Again On Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's matchup against Golden State. The veteran didn't travel with the team for its upcoming West Coast road trip, so there is a chance that he will be out longer than expected. With five absences under his belt already, Kendrick Nunn should continue to […]
D'Angelo Russell Will Undergo Surgery On Knee
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Russell has missed four of the past five games with the injury before electing to undergo surgery. This timeline would put Russell's return after the All-Star break, and Minnesota could be well […]
Monte Morris Ruled Out Tuesday Night
Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (shoulder) will not play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. Morris popped onto the injury report with a shoulder strain and was originally questionable to play, however will join a long list of Denver players on the sidelines.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will sit Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Theo Maledon Available To Play Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Theo Maledon is available to play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Regardless, Maledon is […]

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ribs) has been diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his right first rib and is out through the All-Star break.

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Morris has been in the starting lineup recently with the Nuggets shorthanded.

D'Angelo Russell Remains Sidelined
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll miss his eighth straight game while the team continues to gather information about the injury. It's unclear when Russell is getting back on the court because it sounds like the team doesn't know the severity of […]
Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Versus Suns
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is reportedly dealing with some minor back tightness, but the Nets aren't going to take any chances. Irving dropped 40 points on Monday, so possibly the fact it's a back-to-back set is part of the reason he's […]
Stephen Curry Drops 36 Points With Seven Threes
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry scored 36 points with seven triples, six assists, two rebounds, and just one turnover in a 129-98 blowout win over the Cavaliers.

Monte Morris Picks Up Questionable Tag For Tuesday
Denver Nuggets point guard Monte Morris (shoulder) has been deemed questionable to play in Tuesday's game versus the Celtics due to a sprained right shoulder.

D'Angelo Russell Remains Unavailable Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sore left leg.
