Klay Thompson Gets Ejected For The First Time
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson was ejected from Tuesday's game for the first time in his career. The game was not going Thompson's way in the first place. In the 19 minutes that he played, he was only able to make one of his eight shot attempts and only added two assists and one […]
Devin Booker Posts Third 30-Point Game In A Row
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker stayed red-hot after finishing with his third 30-point game in a row and third in four games.

Bradley Beal Limited To 22 Minutes
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (back) only played 22 minutes in the blowout win over the Detroit Pistons.

Luka Doncic Returns From Ankle Injury To Score 37 Points
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic's 37 points were not enough as they fell to the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night.

Devin Vassell Doubtful To Play With Knee Soreness
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) is listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is disappointing to hear as the Spurs are on a three-game winning streak and Vassell has been on fire over that span. Knowing the Spurs tendencies to rest their players, this could end up being a […]
Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, Trey Murphy III Starting Tuesday
Without Zion Williamson (hip), Herbert Jones (knee) and Brandon Ingram (concussion), the New Orleans Pelicans have inserted Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall and Trey Murphy III into the starting lineup Tuesday. The injuries are not considered severe, so Alvarado, Marshall and Murphy will likely just be spot starts against the Dallas Mavericks. Of the three, Murphy […]
De'Anthony Melton Is Questionable To Play Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (groin) is questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Melton is coming off his best game of the season but appears to be dealing with some soreness in the groin area. Melton does not have a huge role with the Sixers right now, averaging only 18 minutes per […]
Russell Westbrook Listed As Doubtful To Play Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is doubtful to play Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out Against New Orleans
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) will not play Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hardaway was doubtful coming into the night so this should not come as a big surprise. Hardaway missed a large amount of games last season due to a foot injury, but thankfully this is not the same foot. Reggie […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Tagged As Doubtful For Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Terry Rozier Doubtful For Game Against Knicks
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Wednesday night's game against the New York Knicks. With LaMelo Ball and Cody Martin also out for the Hornets, they're going to need some backcourt help. Dennis Smith Jr. and Kelly Oubre Jr. are going to likely get the starting job again. In […]
Victor Oladipo Not Traveling With The Team
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is not traveling with the team to Portland, Golden State, or Sacramento. He'll be out these next three games, meaning he'll have sat out for the first seven games with his chronic knee condition. There isn't any word as to when he might return, either. For fantasy managers with […]

Devin Vassell Leads Spurs To Win With 23 Points
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell had a team-high 23 points in Monday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

James Harden Still Searching For First Triple-Double
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden has been dominant to start the year, narrowly missing a triple-double in Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss Second Straight Game Tuesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Josh Giddey Will Sit Out Tuesday's Contest
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Giddey sprained his right ankle in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves and is already being ruled out more than a day in advance, which does not bode well for his status moving forward. Giddey's […]
Alex Caruso Available On Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) will be available for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as probable, so it sounds like this was only a minor hamstring issue. The expectation is that Caruso won't be limited for this game. However, he's more of a deep league asset than anything else at […]
Scottie Barnes Won't Suit Up On Monday
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The 21-year-old was listed as a game-time decision coming into this game.

Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) will be out for at least the next week after suffering an injury during Sunday's game.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell put on a show in Sunday's 117-107 overtime win against Washington, leading all scorers with 37 points on 12-for-29 shooting.

Donte DiVincenzo Sustains A Hamstring Injury
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo wasn't able to complete Sunday's win over Sacramento due to a hamstring injury. He ended up logging 11 minutes, scoring four points and delivering one assist. DiVincenzo has already been ruled out for Tuesday's clash with the Suns.
