Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 22-year-old was listed as doubtful, so there was a little hope he'd return for this game. Sadly, he'll miss his sixth game in a row as he continues to work his way back from a right […]

Keldon Johnson Ruled Out For Monday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He sat out Saturday's contest and it appears he's still not ready to play due to left hamstring tightness.

Marcus Smart Won't Suit Up Versus Bulls

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Smart was listed as doubtful heading into this game. He was forced to exit early during Saturday's game and it appears he's not ready to play yet. Malcolm Brogdon could move […]

The 21-year-old posted 26 points, four rebounds, six assists, three steals, and one block while shooting 11-for-17 overall and 4-for-8 from deep.

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.

Marcus Smart Doubtful To Play Monday Versus Chicago

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) suffered a knee contusion during the team's game on Saturday night and was forced to leave.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) will play Sunday against the Houston Rockets. Initial reports had Edwards unlikely to play Sunday, but he will play through some hip soreness he's been dealing with.

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (finger) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Jazz have decided to rest their young guard.

Luke Kennard Questionable Against Atlanta

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Atlanta Hawks. Paul George (hamstring) carries the same designation. As a result, Terance Mann, who's averaged 11.6 points in 15 starts this season, could enter the starting lineup.

Paul George Questionable With Hamstring Soreness

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Atlanta. The veteran logged only 13 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to Denver before missing the following night's meeting in Minnesota.

Tyler Herro Questionable With Back Spams On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year didn't play in Friday's win over the Suns because of back spasms.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) is questionable against the visiting Charlotte Hornets. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 17.4 points in 40 games, with nearly all of his appearances coming from the bench. If Mathurin can play, he always warrants fantasy consideration. However, if the shoulder soreness keeps him out, Chris Duarte, […]

Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Payton II (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The former Warrior finally made his 2022-23 debut on Monday versus the Detroit Pistons after undergoing core muscle surgery in the offseason.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) is unlikely to return for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He ran into Zach Collins on a screen and suffered a left knee contusion.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) will be re-evaluated in the last week of January, according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic.

Cameron Payne To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to head coach Monty Williams. Payne sprained his right foot on Wednesday, which isn't ideal for a Suns team that has lost their last five games.

Tyler Herro Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro (back) has been bumped down to questionable for Friday's game against the Suns as he battles back spasms.
