Raul Neto In Line To Make Return Wednesday

Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto will likely get back into the fold for Wednesday’s contest versus the Phoenix Suns. Neto has been out since Jan. 9 due to a left groin strain, and his return will allow him to back up Ricky Rubio, thus freeing up Donovan Mitchell to play off the ball. Despite […]

Elfrid Payton To Miss Fifth Straight Contest

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday’s contest versus the Chicago Bulls due to a right ankle sprain. His absence will be his fifth consecutive game on the bench, paving the way for Frank Jackson to continue seeing increased minutes, although Ian Clark shone during Monday’s loss. Jrue […]

Jamal Murray Questionable To Make Return Wednesday

Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s match-up versus the Brooklyn Nets due to a left ankle sprain that has kept him out for the previous six games.

Kris Dunn Will Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (pelvis) was able to fully practice on Tuesday and will play in Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to head coach Jim Boylen.

Ish Smith is Sidelined Again on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin, rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Smith missed 19 games in December due to the issue and now is out six more games. He played the last two games, but it appears he's going to rest on Tuesday. Jose Calderon will soak […]

Darren Collison Drops 22 Points During Win

Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison delivered his second straight game with at least 20 points during Monday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Kyle Lowry is Doubtful for Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He did not play in Sunday's contest and was unable to practice on Monday.

Kyrie Irving Won't Play on Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Irving is dealing with a left hip strain, but this doesn't sound too serious. It seems like the Celtics are just resting Irving to keep him healthy. Terry Rozier will draw the start and be a popular DFS […]

Derrick White Won't Travel for Road Trip

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (heel) is not traveling with the team for their current five-game road trip.

Dennis Smith Jr., DeAndre Jordan Combine For Only 20 Points

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. and center DeAndre Jordan made their team debuts on Sunday against Memphis, staying mostly quiet. Jordan started his Knicks career with a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double, but he could've done more defensively as Marc Gasol dropped 24 points. Smith Jr. missed all three triples and shot a lowly […]

Jamal Murray Questionable To Make Return Monday

Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray is listed as questionable for Monday’s match-up against the Detroit Pistons due to a left ankle sprain.
