However, after logging only 23 minutes of action in Game 5, the Defensive Player of the Year […]

Max Strus Good To Go On Against Celtics

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) will play on Friday against Boston. There wasn't really any doubt the 26-year-old wouldn't be available, so he'll be in the starting lineup for the pivotal playoff battle. Strus had played well throughout the postseason, but his production has dwindled during this series, with averages of 7.4 points, 3.0 […]

Marcus Smart In The Lineup On Friday

Tyler Herro Out Again On Friday Night

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) won't play on Friday night versus the Boston Celtics. Herro will now miss his third consecutive outing as he battles with a left groin strain.

Klay Thompson Goes For 32 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson lit up the box score during Thursday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks.

Jazz Haven't Changed Stance On Donovan Mitchell

Nonetheless, tension between Rudy Gobert and Mitchell re-emerged after the team's first-round playoff exit. Yet, while the Jazz would like to keep […]

Malcolm Brogdon On The Trade Block?

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon could be on the move this offseason. With the Pacers having already dealt Domantas Sabonis, it's clear the team hit the reset button long ago. Brogdon finished last season by averaging 19.1 points, the second-highest mark of his career, although he shot just 31.2% from deep, his worst showing since […]

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Friday's playoff battle against the Boston Celtics. Strus is back on the injury report with a right hamstring strain.

Max Strus Questionable, Again

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting against Boston. Strus is making yet another appearance on the injury report this postseason because of a nagging right hamstring strain.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) may not play on Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics. Herro is currently nursing a left groin strain, which recently held him off the floor on Monday night.

Derrick White filled in for Smart in that one, and he ended with 13 points, eight […]

Matisse Thybulle Could Be Moved For The Right Deal

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle could be traded over the summer. However, the front office will only look to move the 25-year-old to upgrade the roster and not to get out from underneath his current deal. Thybulle is widely considered one of the best defenders in the league, finishing the 2021-22 season by averaging nearly […]

Tim Connelly Heading To Minnesota

Tim Connelly will sign a five-year, $40 million contract to become the Timberwolves new president of basketball operations. Connelly held the same position in Denver since 2013 and was instrumental to the Nuggets' success over the years, including selecting Nikola Jokic with the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. He has also been […]

Gary Payton II Not Ready To Return

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Fortunately, Payton appears to be moving in the right direction, although head coach Steve Kerr […]

Max Strus Playing On Monday, As Expected

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is good to go for Monday's playoff meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 26-year-old has consistently been on the injury report over the last few weeks because of a nagging hamstring issue. However, it hasn't stopped him from playing. Strus is currently averaging 12.2 points so far throughout the […]

Derrick White Starting In Game 4

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will start during Monday's playoff showdown versus the visiting Miami Heat. Marcus Smart (ankle) is dealing with a sprain and won't play, so White will get extra work in Game 4.

Tyler Herro Sidelined With A Groin Injury

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) won't play on Monday evening against the Celtics.

Marcus Smart Won't Play On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) won't play during Monday's postseason matchup versus the Miami Heat. He injured his right ankle in Game 3, and while he did finish the game, it seems it's bothering him more than it was. Derrick White, who averaged 14.4 points, 5.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals, will take […]

Bruce Brown Drawing Interest From Boston

Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown will unquestionably command some serious cash when free agency begins. He finished the 2021-22 season by averaging 9.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals. But he played even better throughout his 45 appearances in the starting lineup. Based on Brown's efficient play, he'll probably draw plenty of interest over the […]

Gabe Vincent Back On The Injury Report

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's playoff battle versus Boston. He remains plagued by a nagging left hamstring strain. However, the injury is nothing new, so it's more than likely he'll be available for Game 4. But if Kyle Lowry (hamstring) plays, Vincent can be omitted from DFS consideration.

Max Strus Questionable Against Celtics On Monday

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's postseason meeting with the Boston Celtics. This ailment is nothing new, so the questionable tag should be taken with a grain of slate.

Tyler Herro Uncertain For Game 4

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) is questionable for Monday's postseason showdown against Boston.

Nonetheless, head coach Ime Udoka didn't […]

Gary Payton II Remains Out On Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) won't play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. He's been out since suffering an elbow injury at the hands of Dillon Brooks during the previous series. However, there is some good news to report, as Payton is seemingly increasing his activity level. Nonetheless, until the 29-year-old can […]

Tyler Herro Plagued By A Quad Injury

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (quadriceps) should be considered questionable ahead of Game 4. The Sixth Man of the Year logged only 20 minutes of work during Saturday's playoff win over Boston, and he also had it rough on the offensive end by going 4-for-15 from the field while missing all six of his attempts […]

Marcus Smart Shouldn't Miss Time

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart finished with 16 points, seven assists, and four boards during the playoff loss to Miami on Saturday evening.
