Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed two games back in October due to a left knee effusion.

Devin Booker is Questionable on Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (triceps) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. T.J. Warren (back) and Josh Jackson (knee) have already been ruled out for this contest.

D.J. Augustin is Questionable on Friday

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry will miss the team's two-game road trip versus the Blazers and Timberwolves, as he will nurse his right ankle after he twisted it after landing on the foot of LaMarcus Aldridge in the first quarter of their win versus the Spurs.
