Dennis Smith Jr. Practices on Monday
Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) returned to Monday's practice. Smith sat out of Saturday's contest against the Boston Celtics. The Mavs don't play until Wednesday, so Smith will get another day of practice. J.J. Barea has been useful lately and would be worth starting in fantasy leagues if Smith is unable to play […]
Donte DiVincenzo is Questionable on Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (quad) is questionable for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last five games, but being listed as questionable is a good sign for DiVincenzo. Tony Snell would lose some playing time, assuming DiVincenzo returns for this contest.
George Hill is Close to Returning

Hill has been sidelined for over two weeks, but he appears to be getting closer to a return. However, it's unclear what kind of role he'll have with Collin Sexton playing well at the moment. Hill isn't really […]
Chris Paul is Questionable on Monday
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (leg) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Paul is dealing with a sore left leg and sat out during Saturday's contest.

Tony Parker is Probable on Monday
Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker (ribs) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like this ribs issue isn't significant and the Hornets just wanted to rest Parker on Sunday. He'll resume backup point guard duties behind Kemba Walker.

Chandler Hutchison is Probable on Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Chandler Hutchison (back) is probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
