Klay Thompson is Questionable for Wednesday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Otto Porter, Zach LaVine Sitting on Wednesday
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) and guard Zach LaVine (thigh) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

C.J. McCollum Will Rest on Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (rest) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Blazers have no incentive to win, so it's not surprising to see them rest McCollum here. The Blazers will use a committee approach to fill the void. Seth Curry and Rodney Hood are likely the two best […]
Donovan Mitchell Won't Play Wednesday
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was on the injury report Tuesday, but managed to still play through the pain.

James Harden Delivers 39 Points In Regular Season Finale
Houston Rockets guard James Harden wrapped up his historic regular season with a 39-point performance against OKC on Tuesday.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet continued his excellent play as of late on Tuesday when he got another start in the 20-point win over the Timberwolves.
