RJ Barrett Listed As Questionable Wednesday
New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

Immanuel Quickley has been great filling in for Barrett but will likely be the […]
DeMar DeRozan Listed As Questionable Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. DeRozan left Monday's game with a strain in his quadriceps and after the game, he noted he's been playing through the injury for awhile. Given this news, it's possible Chicago rests DeRozan on Wednesday which would result in extra minutes […]
Gordon Hayward Officially Out Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is officially ruled out Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Hayward was doubtful to play so this comes at no surprise. Jalen McDaniels has been stellar in Hayward's absence and should continue to see a sizable role. Hayward's next chance to return will be Thursday's game in Toronto.
Khris Middleton Will Remain Out Wednesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Middleton will miss his 13th straight game as he continues his injury-riddled season. Pat Connaughton should continue to start in Middleton's absence. Connaughton has scored in double digits in four of his last five games and is coming off a double-double […]
Gordon Hayward Considered Doubtful On Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has received a second consecutive doubtful tag as he was listed the same before their last game and eventually didn't play. It would be surprising if he suddenly improved and played in Tuesday's contest, so it seems like he'll be missing his fourth consecutive game due to hamstring soreness. […]
P.J. Tucker Likely To Suit Up On Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (illness) has officially been listed as probable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. He was forced to miss the team's last contest due to a non-COVID illness, but it looks like that eased up enough for him to take the court a couple of days later. The […]
DeMar DeRozan Injured In Monday's Game
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan had to leave Monday's battle against the Celtics early due to a right quadricep strain. He was able to play for just 23 minutes and had 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting with three rebounds, three assists and one steal. DeRozan noted after the game that he had been carrying the […]
Herbert Jones Suffers A Back Injury

Paul George Remains Out Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) will miss his third straight contest with a hamstring injury on Tuesday.

Terance Mann and Nicolas Batum should continue to see extra […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Will Sit Tuesday
Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Bogdanovic is listed with calf soreness and with the Pistons entering a back-to-back set, it remains to be seen if this is just a day off. With Bogdanovic out Tuesday, Hamidou Diallo, Alec Burks and Kevin Knox should all see […]
Kevin Durant Likely To Miss A Month
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) is expected to miss roughly a month of action. This is bad news for the Nets who were playing extremely well as of late. The All-Star forward is dealing with a right MCL sprain. It sounds like his return date is around February 9th, but the All-Star break is […]
LeBron James Won't Play Versus Nuggets
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star forward was originally probable before getting a questionable tag earlier in the day. Now, the Lakers have decided to rule out James for this contest. His absence should mean Russell Westbrook sees his usage skyrocket. […]
LeBron James Downgraded To Questionable On Monday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar forward was listed as probable, but it appears his ankle is still bothering him. His absence would mean Russell Westbrook moves into the starting five. A move to the starting unit would boost his […]
Kevin Durant To Miss At Least Two Weeks
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) is set to miss time following an injury during Sunday's game. The All-Star forward tweaked his knee and underwent further imaging on Monday. Those results revealed that Durant has suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee. The Nets plan to shut down Durant and re-evaluate him in two […]
Desmond Bane Shines In Sunday's Win
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane had a hot start in Sunday's game against Utah and finished a 123-118 win with a game-high 24 points and a career-high nine assists. 13 of his points and six assists came in the first half. The Grizzlies backcourt was without Ja Morant (thigh), and it was almost like Bane […]
Kevin Durant Set For An MRI On Monday

Keldon Johnson Listed As Questionable For Monday Against Memphis
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (hamstring) was forced to miss Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics and now he's listed as questionable for their next contest on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. With Jakob Poeltl (achilles) probable to return and Devin Vassell on the sidelines, Keita Bates-Diop would most likely get the start again […]
Khris Middleton Will Remain Sidelined On Monday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) will miss his 12th consecutive game with knee soreness and still doesn't have a timetable for his return. Since the team ruled him out so early, it doesn't seem like he's close to coming back to the court. The Bucks are likely taking a very cautious approach to make […]
Paolo Banchero Has 25 Points In Win Over Warriors
Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero led his squad with 25 points as the team took down Golden State Saturday on the road 115-101.

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan scored 15 fourth-quarter points and had 35 points overall as the team beat Utah 126-118 on home court Saturday night. He formed a superb one-two punch with Zach LaVine, who had six triples and a game-high 36 points, and the Jazz couldn't hang with the hosts until the end. DeRozan […]
Jayson Tatum Leads Boston To Victory With 34 Points
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a game-high 34 points in Saturday's 121-116 road win over San Antonio. The injury-depleted Spurs pushed Boston hard, but Tatum did just enough to get his team the win. He shot 13-for-26 in the game and Tatum's final make from the field came with 33 seconds left in regulation […]
Caleb Martin Doubtful Against Brooklyn
Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (quadriceps) is not anticipated to play in Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He's been in and out of the lineup recently because of a left quad strain, so he may miss more time moving ahead if he doesn't suit up for this one. Max Strus, who's averaged 14.5 points, […]
Gordon Hayward Doubtful On Sunday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The veteran has missed the last two games because of hamstring soreness, so it appears he is working his way toward a third consecutive absence. With Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) also out, Jalen McDaniels will continue to start and has […]
LeBron James Tagged As Questionable On Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar forward is dealing with left ankle soreness after playing 33 minutes on Friday. Possibly, the Lakers decide to rest James, but this will likely end up being a game-time decision. His absence would open up […]
Andrew Wiggins To Start On Saturday
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (groin) will make his return to the court during Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is great news as Wiggins will play for the first time since December 3rd. The 27-year-old has missed 15 straight games due to a groin issue and illness. It's unclear how much he's […]
Zach LaVine Has 11 Treys During 41-Point Night

Keldon Johnson Goes Down With A Hamstring Injury
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson sustained a left hamstring injury in Friday's win over Detroit, coming out after playing only 13 minutes in the first half. He finished with eight points.

Anthony Edwards Suffers A Hip Injury, Expects To Miss Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards left Friday's contest against the Clippers with hip soreness and doesn't expect to play Sunday versus Houston. The injury limited him to only 23 minutes of action and a season-low five points. It also comes at a really bad time, as Edwards was enjoying a nice scoring spurt, averaging 30.3 […]
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Sit Out Friday's Game
Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (hamstring) have been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Minnesota.

Gordon Hayward Officially Out On Friday
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
