Jamal Murray Considered Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Murray sat out on Saturday, but was able to return and play 29 minutes during Wednesday's game. It's uncertain if head coach Mike Malone will continue to have Murray under a minutes limit. If he does, Reggie […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Friday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to right knee soreness. There's a good chance that the Blazers take the cautious approach and hold Brogdon out on Friday. Matisse Thybulle started during […]

Chris Paul To Play On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (leg) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran guard has missed the last two games due to a left leg nerve contusion. Cory Joseph has been seeing more run in the rotation with Paul out. The assumption is that Paul is going to […]

Anfernee Simons To Play On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) will return to the starting five for the first time since Opening Night. The young guard suffered a torn UCL in his thumb and has been out ever since. He has been making good progress and will return to the starting unit for Wednesday's game against the Golden […]

Jamal Murray To Be Limited On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) will be under a minutes limit for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It looks like Murray will be back after missing Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain. However, the Nuggets are going to be cautious and monitor his minutes. That being said, Reggie Jackson should […]

De'Anthony Melton Will Play On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (illness) was originally listed as probable so the fact he was upgraded to active doesn't come as a huge surprise. He'll be back in the starting five along with a fully healthy Sixers squad for the first time since Kelly Oubre Jr. (ribs) first got injured. Melton's fantasy value will […]

Landry Shamet Questionable For Wednesday's Game

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (rib) is questionable for Wednesday's action against Philadelphia. He's likely desperate to play against his former team, but Shamet might have to sit out the contest due to a right rib sprain. Shamet has had some strong showing lately, scoring double figures in four of the last five games off […]

Anfernee Simons Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Simons has been sidelined since Opening Night, but there's a chance he returns on Wednesday. Simons is working his way back from a torn UCL in his thumb, so the Blazers are expected to be […]

Tyrese Haliburton Tallies His First Triple-Double

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton had a very memorable outing on Monday versus Boston, logging his first career triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 assists. His night at the office included a spectacular four-point play late in the game when the score was tied at 105. It sparked an impressive scoring run […]

Andre Jackson Jr. Questionable Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. (back) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks. The 22-year-old rookie missed the weekend's action against Atlanta with a lower back issue and hasn't yet fully recovered. Jackson Jr. hasn't featured a lot for the Bucks, averaging 8.6 minutes per game, but he could currently have […]

LaMelo Ball Sheds Walking Boot

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (foot) is reportedly making progress and has shed his walking boot. The star guard is expected to be re-evaluated this week. He still has a noticeable limp, but appears to be making progress from his right ankle sprain. Possibly, Ball is able to return at the end of this week […]

Anfernee Simons Returns To Practice

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) hasn't played since the team's first game of the season on October 25. After undergoing thumb surgery, he was expected to miss six weeks which would mark this Wednesday as a potential return. Malcolm Brogdon was the one to talk about Simons back at practice and possibly getting […]

Tyrese Haliburton Expected To Play On Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (illness) was originally listed as questionable for the team's in-season tournament contest against the Boston Celtics. The star point guard came out at his usual time for shootaround though and head coach Rick Carlisle said that he expects Haliburton to play in this game. With his return to the lineup, […]

Davion Mitchell Good To Go Monday

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (illness) is available for Monday's meeting with New Orleans. He was out on Saturday against Denver with an illness but has recovered from the bug and isn't on the injury report anymore. The third-year player from Baylor has averaged 5.1 points and 2.6 assists for the season in 16.9 minutes. […]

CJ McCollum Available Again On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (lung) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's in-season tournament clash against the Kings. McCollum returned from a collapsed lung last week but sat out the previous game against Chicago. He looked good in the two outings he had and even logged a season-high 38 minutes […]

Ben Simmons Will Be Re-Evaluated In Two More Weeks

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) reportedly received an epidural injection to help his lower back recovery. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Simmons will be re-evaluated in two weeks after receiving this injection on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been out since November 6 and it looks like he won't be back until almost the […]

Tyrese Haliburton Questionable To Face Celtics

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (illness) has received a questionable tag for the team's knockout game of the in-season tournament on Monday. The star point guard is dealing with an upper respiratory infection which caused him to miss Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Since they're competing for the in-season tournament championship, the Pacers will […]

Jamal Murray Unavailable On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The star guard will miss his second game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. That means, Reggie Jackson will head into the starting five for at least one more game. He dropped 20 points during […]

Derrick Rose Downgraded To Out

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran guard was unlikely to play in this game after playing 20 minutes on Friday. The Grizzlies are going to continue taking the cautious approach with the oft-injured guard. Jacob Gilyard is expected to replace him […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard will take a seat alongside teammates Josh Green (elbow) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) on Saturday. This will leave the Mavs extremely shorthanded, so expect Luka Doncic to carry the offense. Also, Seth Curry […]

Jose Alvarado Will Play On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (ankle) will play in Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 25-year-old missed the start of the season before making his 2023-24 debut in mid-November. He was gradually ramping up his minutes. However, he sat out Friday's loss to the Spurs because of a sprained ankle. Nevertheless, with CJ […]

Tyrese Haliburton Now Out Versus Miami

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee) was downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's clash with the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old scored a career-high 44 points on Thursday night, the first of back-to-back meetings between the clubs. However, he's dealing with a bone bruise, although the team may be playing it safe by keeping him out. […]

CJ McCollum Sitting Against The Bulls

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum won't play in Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 32-year-old missed nearly a month because of a collapsed lung, and considering he logged 38 minutes versus the Spurs on Friday, he'll get the night off. As a result, Dyson Daniels, averaging 8.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and […]

Jordan Clarkson Misses Another Game

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (thigh) will be absent for a second straight game on Saturday against the Trail Blazers. The 31-year-old is dealing with a right thigh contusion. Clarkson's absence should been another start for Ochai Agbaji, who performed well as his replacement Thursday versus Minnesota. Agbaji filled the stat sheet with 13 points, […]
