Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Alec Burks To Make Knicks Debut On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks will play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. It will be the veteran's first game with the Knicks, and it comes after he averaged 12.6 points in 43 games with the Pistons this season. Burks probably won't be a consistent fantasy contributor. However, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) questionable and […]

According to Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) will be available on Saturday against the New York Knicks.

Luka Doncic Good To Go Versus OKC

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) will play on Saturday versus OKC. The 24-year-old took an inadvertent elbow to the face a week ago, so he's been dealing with the repercussions ever since.

Tyrese Maxey Likely To Return On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Washington.

Bradley Beal Listed As Probable Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is considered probable for Saturday's contest against Golden State.

Tyrese Haliburton Remains On Injury Report Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is once again carrying a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Knicks. He's featured in six straight games despite being on the injury report, so it should be safe to assume Indiana's star guard will be on the court Saturday. However, Haliburton will likely remain under a […]

Jalen Brunson Questionable For Saturday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Indiana. The first-year All-Star continues to deal with a right ankle sprain that kept him off the court Thursday versus Dallas. Miles McBride had the keys to the offense without Brunson. He put in a massive 45-minute shift and provided good […]

D'Angelo Russell Good To Go Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) will play on Friday night versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets because of left knee soreness. However, he's good to go. Russell was quiet to begin the 2023-24 campaign. But he averaged 22.7 points and shot 45.9% from […]

Tyrese Maxey Ruled Out Versus Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't play against the Hawks on Friday night.

Dejounte Murray Questionable Against Philly

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. Murray missed Wednesday's matchup versus the Boston Celtics because of lower back tightness.

Raptors Will Waive Spencer Dinwiddie

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors plan to waive guard Spencer Dinwiddie.

Damian Lillard Won't Play On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar guard will miss his second game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. His absence is going to leave the team extremely shorthanded at the guard spot on Thursday. Pat Connaughton should remain […]

Tyrese Haliburton Cleared For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving To Play Versus Knicks

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is officially available ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Doncic will continue to play through his broken nose.

Exum's absence keeps Josh […]
