Russell Westbrook Will Rest Versus Charlotte
Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Eric Gordon (knee) will join Westbrook […]

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier connected on 6-for-13 shooting from the floor en route to 19 points on Thursday.

Fred Vanvleet, Marc Gasol Both Out Again Thursday
The Toronto Raptors will be without Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) and Marc Gasol (hamstring) on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Both players were questionable, but later downgraded to doubtful. Vanvleet sounds closer to play than Gasol as hamstrings can be tricky to heal.

Malcolm Brogdon is Doubtful for Friday
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This marks the second game in a row that Smith will sit out due to a hamstring issue.

Brandon Knight Starting Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) will start against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

Damian Lillard is Expected to Return on Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Brandon Knight is Questionable for Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is doubtful to play, while Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out for Wednesday. The Pistons may take the cautious approach and rest Knight here.

Seth Curry Could Sit Out on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls due to back tightness. However, that was the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs could have been just playing it safe. Tim Hardaway Jr. […]

Ish Smith is Doubtful Versus Blazers
Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Napier could be a popular […]
George Hill is Downgraded to Out
Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (groin) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was originally listed as probable after suffering a groin injury on Monday.
