Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook will suit up for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. However, Westbrook will sit out the second game of the back-to-back set on Sunday. Austin Rivers, Ben McLemore, and Eric Gordon (knee) will be asked to do more on Sunday. All of them could be useful deep league options, but […]

De'Aaron Fox Leaves And Will Not Return Thursday
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) will not return Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic returned from a right ankle sprain against the San Antonio Spurs to drop 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the victory.

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play on Friday
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He missed Monday's game due to a left groin issue. The contest on Friday is the first game of a back-to-back set. The Pacers may decide to take the cautious approach and have Brogdon sit out the first […]
Luka Doncic Will Return on Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
