Frank Ntilikina Tests Negative For COVID-19, Still Out Friday

New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina will miss Friday's contest versus the Wizards as he remains in the league's health and safety protocols due to contact tracing.

Rajon Rondo Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (back) has been ruled out for the second consecutive contest Friday against the Spurs as he continues to battle lower back pain.

D'Angelo Russell Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) will remain sidelined for Friday's game versus the Hornets as he continues to be hampered by a sore left leg.

Seth Curry Available On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was dealing with a minor ankle sprain, but it sounds like he can play through the issue. Curry dropped 22 points including four buckets from beyond the arc during Tuesday's game versus the Sacramento Kings. It finally sounds […]

Michael Carter-Williams Questionable For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has not appeared in a game since early January, but the Magic desperately need guard help. The injury bug has taken out their guard depth, so having Carter-Williams back would be helpful. He'd likely be under […]

Devonte' Graham Questionable For Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has missed each of the last three games due to a groin strain. It sounds like Graham is making progress, but the team might wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. LaMelo Ball […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young scored 25 points with 15 assists, seven rebounds, four triples, a block, and a steal in a 118-117 loss to the Mavericks.

Bryn Forbes Draws Second Straight Start Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Bryn Forbes remains among the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Phoenix, taking the place of Jrue Holiday, who is in the league's health and safety protocols. Forbes, who has never been known as a high-volume assist contributor, has dished out just .5 dimes per game this year, an indication that […]

Oklahoma City Returns Kenrich Williams To Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard/small forward Kenrich Williams has been elevated back to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to the team's sheer lack of depth in the backcourt. Williams' minutes have skyrocketed as of late, having averaged 8.7 points and 7.0 boards over 32.1 minutes in his last three contests. […]

Shake Milton Unlikely To Play In Thursday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers point/shooting guard Shake Milton (ankle) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Thursday's game versus Portland due to a sprained left ankle. After the Seth Curry faux pas, it appears the doubtful tag was aimed for Milton, although the duo are both dealing with the same ailment. Having served as the primary […]

Frank Jackson Picks Up Doubtful Designation For Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Frank Jackson (illness) has been listed as doubtful to take the floor for Thursday's game versus Indiana due to an illness. Jackson hasn't seen game action since Friday, having played extremely scarcely with the second unit this season. While there was reason to believe that Jackson could crack the rotation upon […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Cleared To Make Pistons Debut Thursday

Detroit Pistons point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, which will mark his team debut. Smith was acquired in the deal that sent Derrick Rose to the Knicks, giving the fourth-year guard an opportunity at playing time that he was unlikely […]

Hornets To Be Cautious With Devonte' Graham

The Charlotte Hornets are going to err on the side of caution with guard Devonte' Graham's (groin) injury. Head coach James Borrego stated he did not want to risk aggravating the injury and would play it safe with Graham's recovery.

Patrick Beverley Returns To Action Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, reclaiming his spot among the starting five. With it being his first outing since Jan. 24, Beverley will be on an unspecified minutes limit, which figures to cut into his DFS appeal. […]

Kyrie Irving Playing Second Half Of Back-To-Back

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (finger, rest) will play Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Irving has been rested on back-to-back sets this season and is dealing with a sprained finger on his shooting hand, but with Kevin Durant (health and safety protocols) out, Irving will play Wednesday. This bodes well for Irving's value, though […]

Goran Dragic Will Miss Third Straight Contest Thursday

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to an ankle sprain. Dragic did not travel with the team to kick-off their road trip, which certainly doesn't bode well for an imminent return. Kendrick Nunn is in line to continue to see an increased workload […]

Kyle Lowry Cleared To Suit Up Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (back) has received the green light to take the floor for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, getting back in action after playing just eight minutes Monday due to back issues.

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) will miss Wednesday's contest versus the Clippers as he continues to deal with a sore left leg.

He previously played with the Knicks a few years ago, but now he's back after the Knicks acquired Rose from the Detroit Pistons. He scored 14 points, three assists, and one rebound during his 20 minutes on Tuesday. Rose also […]

Cole Anthony Suffers Injury On Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (shoulder) was unable to play during the second half of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Damian Lillard Scores Game-High 36 Points In Tuesday's Win

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard scored a game-high 36 points in Tuesday's win over the Magic.

De'Aaron Fox Stays Hot Against 76ers

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox continued his dominant play in February with a strong performance in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Fox dropped 34 points and 10 assists to go along with six rebounds, a steal and three turnovers. It wasn't his most efficient game as he shot 13-for-30 from the field, […]
