Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks.

During that game, Lillard dislocated his left index finger of his non-shooting hand. The X-rays came back negative, which is a great sign going forward. It's unknown whether or not Lillard will be able to […]

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Luguentz Dort Available On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is available for Thursday's Game 2 against the Houston Rockets. He was listed as questionable going in, but it appears he's healthy enough to play.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 2 matchup versus the Portland Trail Blazers. He had thumb surgery in mid-July, but has been approaching a return. Rondo was doubtful for Game 1 and did sit out of that contest. The Lakers could use Rondo back on the court, […]

Luguentz Dort Questionable For Game 2

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 2 against the Houston Rockets on Thursday.

Luka Doncic Leads The Charge In The Game 2 Victory

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic poured in 28 points in Game 2 on Wednesday to help even the series at a game apiece against the Clippers.

Reggie Jackson again got the start […]

Marcus Smart Provides A Solid Line In Win

Michael Carter-Williams Doubtful For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He is currently listed as day-to-day, so there's a chance that he returns for this one. Markelle Fultz, D.J. Augustin, and Terrence Ross will all gain some fantasy value, assuming Carter-Williams remains out. Ross could end up […]

Victor Oladipo Removed From Injury Report

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Miami Heat. He sat out of final seeding game on Friday, but that was likely as a precaution. The Pacers wanted to make sure all their starters were healthy and fresh for the playoffs. He […]

Luguentz Dort Unlikely To Play Versus Houston

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is unlikely going to suit up for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Houston Rockets.

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Over the weekend, the team said that Carter-Williams was day-to-day.

Dennis Schroder Available Versus Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (conditioning) is available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He recently cleared quarantine after re-entering the bubble.
