Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Rodney McGruder (illness) is slated to play on Wednesday against the Raptors.

He is expected to start the game and will likely see around 25 minutes of […]
Tyreke Evans is Questionable for Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Evans was able to practice on Monday, but is a game-time decision for this contest. Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday would lose minutes if Evans does play.
Wesley Matthews is Questionable for Wednesday

LeBron James Ruled Out for Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Otto Porter Will Miss Wednesday's Game Against Pistons
Washington Wizards small forward/power forward Otto Porter (knee) will not play against the Pistons on Wednesday. This will be the eighth straight game that the 25-year-old has missed, meaning that Jeff Green will likely once again be in the starting lineup.

As Expected Kevin Durant Will Play On Christmas Day
Golden State Warriors small forward/power forward Kevin Durant (ankle) will be in the starting lineup against the Lakers on Tuesday night. Durant was listed as probable on the team's injury report but there was really no way that he was going to miss going mano-e-mano against LeBron James. The 30-year-old, who averages an NBA-high 31.1 […]
Rodney Hood Out With Achilles Injury
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. This will be the second straight game that the 6-foot-8 wing will miss as a result of the left Achilles injury. Since he has been ruled out a full day in advance of the game, it could […]
Kevin Durant is Probable Versus Lakers
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant tweaked his ankle on Sunday, but still managed to play 38 minutes in that contest. He's expected to play despite having a minor ankle issue.

Wilson Chandler is Questionable for Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (quad) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Chandler was forced to miss Saturday's game due to a left quad contusion. Mike Muscala and Furkan Korkmaz should see extra playing time if Chandler is unable to play on Tuesday.
Allonzo Trier is Probable on Tuesday
New York Knicks guard/forward Allonzo Trier (hamstring) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It appears that Trier has been cleared for the Christmas Day game, but he'll only play limited minutes.

Tyreke Evans Practices on Monday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (knee) returned to practice on Monday after missing the last two games. Evan is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Evans is dealing with a bruised right knee, but isn't much of a fantasy option when he's healthy. Evans can be ignored in standard leagues and […]
Andrew Wiggins Explodes For A Season-High 30 Points
