Luka Doncic Ruled Out Friday With Sore Ankle
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (ankle) will not suit up Friday night against the Denver Nuggets.

Jrue Holiday Expected to Lose Minutes
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday is expected to see reduced minutes going forward, according to general manager Danny Ferry. Holiday is averaging 36.4 minutes right now, so that is likely going to drop significantly.

Terry Rozier Will Play on Thursday
Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (illness) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed the last game before the All-Star break, but has been given over a week to rest. Kyrie Irving looks like he is good to go, so Rozier is going to lose playing time and obviously his […]
Austin Rivers is Probable for Thursday
Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (elbow) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Rivers is dealing with a sore right elbow, but it doesn't seem like a serious issue. Gerald Green could lose some minutes with Rivers in the rotation. Neither player has much fantasy value with Chris Paul and […]
Goran Dragic Will Be Eased Into Action
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is going to be eased back into the rotation once he's able to play, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Dragic was able to go through Wednesday's practice and is questionable for Thursday's contest. Justise Winslow is currently playing point guard, so it'll be interesting to see what Spoelstra […]
Damian Lillard Will Play Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Dion Waiters and Dwyane Wade should lose some minutes as […]
Kris Dunn Expected to Return After All-Star Break
Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (tailbone) should be fine to return to the lineup after the All-Star break, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Dunn missed Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, but it sounds like the Bulls were just being cautious. It appears Dunn will be back in the starting five after the break. The […]
Emmanuel Mudiay is Unsure of His Role
New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay (shoulder) is unsure whether or not he'll be in the rotation once he returns from injury. Mudiay has missed the last 11 games due to a strained left shoulder. Dennis Smith Jr. and Kadeem Allen have made it difficult for Mudiay to carve out a role in the Knicks […]
Kyrie Irving is Close to A Return

Irving is traveling to Charlotte for the All-Star weekend, but it's unclear if he'll participate in Sunday's All-Star game.

Kemba Walker Struggles Before Hosting All-Star Game
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker didn't have a strong game Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Walker scored 10 points shooting 4-of-20 from the floor with three assists.

Trae Young Notches Another Double-Double
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young had a rough shooting night against the Knicks on Thursday, but he did manage to get another double-double with 16 points and 11 assists. He's been something of a double-double machine as of late, recording four of them in the last six games. Young's shooting has been hit or […]
Kadeem Allen Posts Another Good Line
New York Knicks guard Kadeem Allen continued his strong play in Thursday's win over Atlanta, coming just short of a double-double with 14 points and nine assists. He shot 5-for-9 from the field in 24 minutes off the bench. The Knicks have some injuries and they have gone into full tank mode, which gives obscure […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Scores Team-High 19 Points In Thursday's Win
New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. helped the team end a franchise-worst, 18-game losing streak with a 19-point effort on Thursday. He played a very efficient game in a 106-91 win against the Hawks, missing just three of his 10 shots and committing only one turnover in 32 minutes on the floor. Smith […]
Russell Westbrook Keeps Triple-Double Streak Alive
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook extended his NBA record triple-double streak to 11 games on Thursday as he poured in 44 points with 14 rebounds and 11 assists.

[…]
Elfrid Payton To Miss Thursday’s Contest
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton will be sidelined for the ninth consecutive game Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right ankle sprain. Despite earning a questionable tag earlier in the day, there never really seemed like a chance that Payton would play as head coach Alvin Gentry has focused on […]
Dennis Schroder Won't Play on Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Schroder is still out after the birth of his child, so fantasy owners can expect him back after the All-Star break. Raymond Felton should soak up a majority of the backup guard minutes behind Russell Westbrook.
