Cade Cunningham Misses Friday's Action

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. An ankle sprain initially left Cunningham with a questionable tag ahead of the game, but he has now been officially ruled out. Malik Beasley will replace Cunningham in the first unit. Beasley has been effective throughout the campaign, and his […]

Trae Young Available Friday Night

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will be active against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Young has played superbly in recent outings, finishing three consecutive appearances with 30-plus points and bagging two double-doubles during that stretch. He recorded a 35-point double-double in the last game […]

Malcolm Brogdon Misses Friday's Action

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will not suit up for Friday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran is back on the shelf after playing only three games following a 14-game absence due to a foot problem. Washington also has a game scheduled for Saturday, so it's possible Brogdon will be brought back into […]

Damian Lillard Active Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) will be in the lineup for Friday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. A groin issue keeps Lillard on the injury report, but the Bucks have upgraded him to available. Lillard is coming off his 10th double-double of the season, having notched 29 points and 12 assists in Wednesday's […]

Donovan Mitchell Good To Go Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Friday against the Washington Wizards. After sitting out the second game of a back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, Mitchell was initially considered probable for Friday's game. The team has now upgraded the six-time All-Star to available, and Mitchell is making his […]

LaMelo Ball Returns To Hornets Lineup

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will return to the court on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Charlotte's star guard is back after missing five games with a left ankle sprain. His return will likely bump KJ Simpson back to the bench. Ball should thrive in a matchup against an up-tempo team like […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Won't Make Bucks Debut On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. won't make his official debut for his new club on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Porter was dealt from the Clippers on Thursday to the Bucks. The 24-year-old averaged 9.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.0 steals in 19.6 minutes per game during 45 contests in a Clippers […]

Dennis Schroder Won't Make Pistons Debut On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder won't debut for his new club against the 76ers on Friday after recently being acquired in a trade with the Golden State Warriors. The 31-year-old was recently a part of the huge Jimmy Butler trade on Wednesday. Schroder could boost fantasy manager's lineups as he could see an expanded role with […]

Trae Young Listed As Probable On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) seems likely to suit up on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks after the team listed him as probable. He'll be called upon for even more scoring to take down the Bucks if none of their new trade assets are ready in time. Young posted a big-time double-double in their […]

Cade Cunningham May Miss Friday's Game Against 76ers

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is listed as questionable for the contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday due to an ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't been forced to miss a game since late November, so there's a chance the team could use this as a rest day. If that's the case, […]

LaMelo Ball Tagged As Questionable Against Spurs

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) resumed on-court activities earlier in the week and has since been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Ball has missed the last five games with a left ankle sprain. If he returns on Friday, he'll be alongside a different-looking supporting cast after the trade […]

Donovan Mitchell Considered Probable Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (shoulder) has been listed as probable for Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He received a night off to deal with a shoulder contusion on Wednesday and seems ready to go against a lowly Wizards team that will roll out a decimated crew until all of their trades go through. […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons stayed on the team through the trade deadline, but that doesn't mean he's going to finish the season with the organization. The two sides are reportedly working on a contract buyout. Simmons is in the final year of a five-year deal that he originally signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. A […]

 Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Thursday

Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports that Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

While Holiday is out […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Traded To Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers added guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and three second-round picks in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland.

Vasilije Micic Traded To Phoenix

The Phoenix Suns added guard Vasilije Micic along with Cody Martin and a 2026 second-round pick from the Hornets in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic and a 2026 first-round pick. Micic had been starting for the Hornets in place of LaMelo Ball (ankle), but now he'll join a crowded backcourt situation in Phoenix. While Ball is […]

Dennis Schroder Flipped To The Pistons

The Detroit Pistons acquired guard Dennis Schroder as part of the complicated Jimmy Butler trade that landed Butler in Golden State and Schroder in the Motor City with a stop in Utah, although he never played for the Jazz. Schroder started the season with the Nets and played 23 games, averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Traded To Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks acquired guard Kevin Porter Jr. from the Clippers to bolster their backcourt before Thursday's NBA Trade Deadline.

He played 45 of the […]

Marcus Smart Traded To The Wizards

The Washington Wizards acquired guard Marcus Smart along with a 2025 first-round pick from the Grizzlies in a multi-team trade that sends two second-round picks to Memphis.

The 23-year-old missed 10 games because of a back injury before returning for the January 25 matchup with the Pistons. Unfortunately, he sustained a quad contusion and will now miss his fifth-straight game on Wednesday night. As a result, Cole Anthony, coming off […]

Dennis Schroder Traded To Jazz

The Utah Jazz have acquired guard Dennis Schroder in a five-team trade on Wednesday. It looked like Schroder was going to end up with the Miami Heat, but instead he'll go to Utah. Schroder has moved around quite a bit this season, but this is a less than ideal landing spot for him. The Jazz […]

Lonzo Ball Signs Two-Year Extension

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has signed a new deal with the organization on Wednesday. Ball has agreed on a two-year, $20 million extension with the team. It seemed increasingly likely that Ball was going to be moved ahead of the trade deadline. However, the Bulls have decided to keep the 27-year-old guard who has […]

Jose Alvarado Unavailable On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
