Matisse Thybulle Out For Game 4
Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle won't play in Saturday's postseason bout versus the Toronto Raptors. The 25-year-old hasn't received a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, so he's not permitted to enter Canada. As a result, Danny Green, who played 46 minutes and finished with nine points, seven boards, and two steals during the Sixers' […]
Charlotte Fires Head Coach James Borrego
The Charlotte Hornets have chosen to move on from head coach James Borrego, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Borrego led Charlotte to the Play-In Tournament this season, after the team finished 43-39 and featured one of the most exciting young nucleuses in the NBA. Borrego went 138-163 in his four years at the helm […]
Desmond Bane Drills Seven Threes, Logs Game-High 26 Points
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Desmond Bane ripped off seven made triples in Thursday's Game 3 victory over Minnesota, en route to finishing with a game-best 26-point effort. After having combined to take 12 threes over the first two games, Bane came out firing with Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks scuffling from the field. On just […]
Khris Middleton Out Indefinitely
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out indefinitely. The veteran sustained a sprained left MCL during the Game 2 postseason loss to Chicago and is anticipated to miss at least Games 3 and 4. However, he is considered out indefinitely, so there's a real chance he'll be sidelined even longer. Nonetheless, Giannis Antetokounmpo and […]
Devin Booker Could Be Out For Up To Three Weeks
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) could miss up to three weeks. The superstar didn't return to Game 2 on Tuesday night after suffering a Grade 1 right hamstring strain in the third quarter. It's horrific news for the Suns, who had initially expected Booker to miss only a few games. However, Chris Paul will […]
Gary Trent Jr. Will Suit Up For Game 3, Expected To Start
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Gary Trent Jr. (illness) will join the mix for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, although how much he is able to play remains up in the air as he continues to battle an illness. Trent has started each of the first two contests, but he has combined to shoot 2-for-14 overall, […]
Brandon Ingram Posts Dominant 37-Point Double-Double
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Brandon Ingram put together an enormous outing in his second career playoff game, finishing with 37 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists in Tuesday's Game 2 win.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Available On Tuesday Night
Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as available leading up to Tuesday's playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The veteran has been battling left ankle soreness, although he never appeared to be in any real danger of missing this one. Bogdanovic had just six points on 0-for-8 shooting in Game 1, so he […]
Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Game 3
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) has been deemed questionable ahead of Game 3 of the playoff series versus Philly. Trent doesn't have COVID-19, although his condition relegated him to just 10 minutes of action in Game 2. If he can play, managers should acknowledge that he likely won't be fully healthy. Scottie Barnes […]
Lou Williams Out Again On Tuesday Night
Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 2 of the playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The most recent update concerning his availability shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since he hasn't played since the April 5th showdown with the Toronto Raptors. Williams, who averaged only 6.3 points per game during the regular season, […]
Donovan Mitchell Totals 34 Points In Loss
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell was once again the leading scorer for his team during Monday's playoff contest against the Dallas Mavericks. He totaled 34 points, five assists and two rebounds in 41 minutes of playing time. Sadly, it wasn't enough as the Jazz dropped Game 2 to the Mavericks on Monday. This series, Mitchell […]
Jordan Poole Drops 29 Points In Game 2
Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole has really stepped it up this season. He scored 30 points, including five triples during Game 1 of their series against the Denver Nuggets.

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 contest against the Miami Heat. He played through the ankle issue in Game 1, but went 0-for-8 from the floor during that contest. The hope is that he'll bounce back, assuming he does play on Tuesday. Otherwise, Kevin Huerter and De'Andre […]
Gary Trent Jr. Exits Early During Game 2
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) wasn't able to get through Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Trent was cleared to play for this game, but only lasted 10 minutes. He missed all of his shots and obviously isn't over this illness yet. Chris Boucher replaced Trent early on and Malachi Flynn […]
Gary Trent Jr. To Play In Game 2
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) will be available for Monday's Game 2 contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as doubtful coming into the contest due to a non-COVID related illness. It sounds like both Trent and Thaddeus Young (thumb) will give it a go on Monday. Trent could see an increased […]
Gary Trent Jr. Doubtful For Game 2 On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is unlikely to play during the playoff matchup against the 76ers. Trent had a rough go during Game 1, finishing with nine points on 2-for-11 shooting. He was projected to take on a more prominent role in Game 2 on Monday night after Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a […]
Landry Shamet Available For Game 1
Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's first-round opener against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old had been labeled as day-to-day after suffering a left foot injury ahead of Game 1. However, while Shamet will be in uniform, it's unlikely he will serve much of a purpose for DFS managers […]
Gary Trent Jr. Misses Sunday's Practice
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) was unable to participate in Sunday's practice. The team is calling it a non-COVID related illness, but Trent is considered doubtful for Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Raptors could use Trent out there with Scottie Barnes (ankle) unlikely to suit up. Otherwise, Malachi Flynn […]
Collin Sexton To Have Testing On Left Knee Next Week
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (knee) will undergo further testing to determine where he's at in his recovery process. Sexton tore his left meniscus back in November and missed the remainder of the season. The 23-year-old reports he is feeling better each day, although he remains without a timetable for a return. Sexton, who was […]
Caris LeVert Hoping To Stay In Cleveland
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert hopes to land an extension with the team. In February, the 27-year-old was acquired from Indiana and averaged 13.6 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.4 boards across 19 games for the Cavs. LeVert, who has one year remaining on his current contract, has proven to be an effective presence on the […]
Lou Williams To Miss Game 1
Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) won't be available for Game 1 of the postseason matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran continues to deal with a sore back, an injury he's been dealing with for a while, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't surprise anyone. Williams averaged only 6.3 points throughout 56 games this […]
Landry Shamet Misses Practice Friday
Phoenix Suns shooting guard/small forward Landry Shamet (foot) was unable to participate in Friday's practice, with head coach Monty Williams slapping a day-to-day designation on the sharpshooter.

Grayson Allen, George Hill Ready To Go For Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Grayson Allen (hip) and point guard George Hill (abdominal) have received the green light to suit up for Sunday's game vs. Chicago in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Trent Forrest Unavailable On Saturday
Utah Jazz guard Trent Forrest (foot) isn't available for Game 1 of the series matchup against Dallas. He is on the shelf because of a left foot sprain. However, with Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, and Jordan Clarkson all healthy and ready to go, Forrest wasn't pictured to have much of a role anyway.
Terance Mann Will Start Against New Orleans
Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann will start during Friday's matchup versus the Pelicans. Paul George (illness) is out with COVID-19, and Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play either, so Mann has the opportunity to exceed his DFS value. The 25-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds throughout 33 regular-season appearances in the starting lineup. While […]
Luke Kennard Out Versus Pelicans
Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play during Friday's play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Paul George (illness) isn't available either after testing positive for COVID-19, so L.A. will undoubtedly be lacking on the offensive end for this one. Head coach Ty Lue has remained mum regarding his starting lineup. However, it's […]
Luka Doncic's Calf Strain A "Significant Concern"
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) could be facing a multi-game absence. The superstar sustained a left calf strain during Sunday's matchup versus the San Antonio Spurs. However, after the team was hopeful that Doncic would be ready to roll for the opening-round contest against Utah, he won't be, and in fact, there's now a […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Remains Uncertain For Friday
Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been playing through his ankle issue lately, but we'll see if he can give it a go on Friday. Otherwise, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would be in line for more playing time. Although, Kevin Huerter and […]
Luke Kennard Questionable For Friday Versus Pelicans
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's play-in game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been dealing with a sore right hamstring. He was unable to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Due to his absence, Norman Powell went on to log 27 minutes […]
