Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick will take the floor for Friday’s match-up versus the Atlanta Hawks after being listed as questionable due to a back injury.

E'Twaun Moore is Probable for Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (quad) is probable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Moore has been sidelined the last two games due to a left quad issue. Darius Miller started in both those contests, but would move back to the bench and see reduced minutes with Moore back.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is Doubtful for Friday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad, hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He played fantastic on Wednesday, but landed on the injury report on Thursday due to right quadriceps soreness/left hip contusion. Ersan Ilyasova would see big minutes without Antetokounmpo on the court. IIyasova would be worth looking […]

Luke Kennard Is Quiet In The Start On Thursday
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Luke Kennard could not get things going on Thursday when he got the start for Blake Griffin (rest). Kennard connected on just 1-for-8 shooting to score five points with a rebound and two assists to go along with a block and a steal in 23 minutes of action. It was not […]

Devonte' Graham is Questionable for Friday
Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Graham can be left on the waiver wire […]
Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Thursday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (finger) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He did not play in Monday or Tuesday's game, so it's unclear if he'll actually be healthy enough to suit up for this one.

Jimmy Butler Scores Inefficient 23 Points On Wednesday

DeMar DeRozan Held In Check During Defeat
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan finished 4-for-15 from the field during Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing in single digits for only the second time this season.

Gerald Green Provides Much-Needed Tertiary Scoring
Houston Rockets shooting guard Gerald Green finished with 16 points off the bench in Wednesday's 116-109 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks, one of just four players in double digits for the home side.

Kevin Huerter Returns Against Brooklyn On Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (back) logged 37 minutes against the Nets on Wednesday night, finishing with 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting from the field.

Iman Shumpert Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Iman Shumpert is questionable to make his return to action Thursday against the Detroit Pistons due to a sprained right index finger. Shumpert has missed the past three games, forcing bench ace Bogdan Bogdanovic into the starting five. Shumpert has been a consistent starter in his first year with Sacramento for […]
Luka Doncic On Track To Play Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic should be ready for Wednesday’s contest versus the Phoenix Suns after having been tagged as questionable to suit up earlier in the day due to a back injury.

E'Twaun Moore To Miss Second Straight Game
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore will be in street clothes for Wednesday’s contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a left quad injury.
