Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) will play against the Grizzlies.

Harrison Barnes Could Sit Out Friday
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Doug McDermott Out On Friday
San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Keita Bates-Diop should remain in the starting five while McDermott nurses a knee issue.

Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Nonetheless, with Anthony Davis (illness) out because […]
Joe Harris Out Again On Wednesday Night
Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Harris (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against Boston. It also doesn't appear he will be back in the lineup on Saturday either versus the Phoenix Suns as he continues to be plagued by a sprained left ankle. With Bruce Brown (hamstring) also out, the door will be open for Patty Mills, […]
Bruce Brown Hopeful To Play Saturday
Brooklyn Nets forward Bruce Brown (hamstring) is hopeful to play on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns, according to head coach Steve Nash.

Fantasy managers […]
Duncan Robinson, P.J. Tucker Available For Tuesday
Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (knee) and forward P.J. Tucker (illness) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Robinson was battling a knee issue on Saturday, but appears fine for this contest. He has been struggling lately, but fantasy managers should stick with him. Tucker has been solid when he's on the […]
Dillon Brooks Could Miss Wednesday's Contest
Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a hamstring issue. His absence has resulted in Kyle Anderson moving into the starting five.

Romeo Langford Returns For Monday’s Contest
Boston Celtics small forward Romeo Langford (ankle) has been given the green light to suit up for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Jaylen Brown Faces Minutes Cap Monday
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is making his return to action Monday following an eight-game absence, but it will come with a caveat: his minutes will be capped.

LeBron James Receives One-Game Suspension
Los Angeles Lakers small/power forward LeBron James has been levied a one-game suspension for his role in Sunday's altercation with the Pistons' Isaiah Stewart.

Boston Welcomes Jaylen Brown Back On Monday
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been cleared to return to action for Monday's game against Houston.
