The rookie was entering this one fresh off a 13-point, nine-rebound, and four-steal effort on Friday versus the Lakers in the first of back-to-back meetings. Hopefully, Sochan's injury isn't severe, although fantasy managers may not […]

LeBron James Active On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The 37-year-old made his return to the court after a five-game absence.

Bates-Diop has averaged only 7.4 points, although he's doubled that in his […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Versus San Antonio

Scottie Barnes Out On Saturday Versus The Mavs

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) will miss his second straight game on Saturday versus the Mavericks. Pascal Siakam (adductor) is also out, while Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable.

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (shoulder) won't suit up on Friday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder contusion. As a result, Jalen McDaniels will replace him in the lineup. The 24-year-old has averaged 9.1 points this season. However, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, McDaniels could be more productive.

Jimmy Butler Expected Back During Road Trip

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected back for the team's upcoming contests in Boston, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The 33-year-old has already missed the previous four games because of right knee soreness, so he'll sit out a few more before he's finally ready to return. In the meantime, […]

Matisse Thybulle Won't Play Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) will not suit up on Friday after missing the team's last game and being forced to exit the last couple of games that he did play.
