Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum had a tough night on Thursday against the Rockets, finishing with only 16 points, but that was still good enough to lead the team in scoring.

Allen Crabbe Expected to Return Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is expected to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He missed Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness. The Nets are one of the most cautious teams in the league when it comes to injuries. Brooklyn is not playing for anything, so Crabbe could very well […]

Jimmy Butler Could Return on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said there's a "chance" that Butler plays on Thursday, but it depends on how he feels in warmups. He was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, so it seems like he's been upgraded, which […]

George Hill Ruled Out on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (ankle) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. This will mark his third straight game on the sidelines. The Cavs continue to be cautious with their players as they head into the playoffs. Jose Calderon (hamstring) has been fantastic in the absence of Hill but will join […]

With only a few games left until the playoffs, there isn’t a lot of time left to play regular season DraftKings, so get a win while you can.

DeMar DeRozan Finishes With 16 Points In Low-Scoring Affair

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan finished Wednesday's tilt against Boston with only 16 points, but he still managed to lead the team in scoring as it was a low-scoring game, which Toronto won 96-78.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Contributes Across The Board

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope filled up the stat sheet in the win over the Spurs. Caldwell-Pope has always been known as a scorer and not much else, so a 21-point, six-rebound and six-assist game like Wednesday is quite the anomaly. This was actually his first 20-6-6 game of the season. The Lakers […]

MarShon Brooks Continues Good Comeback

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard MarShon Brooks continues to show that he can be a productive NBA player. The 29-year-old guard, who hadn't played in the league since 2013-14 before getting a look by the Grizzlies on a short contract, scored 25 points in 36 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's blowout loss to New Orleans.

Josh Richardson Fills The Stat Sheet

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson did a little bit of everything in a 29-point blowout over the Atlanta Hawks. Richardson filled it up, going for 19 points on 7-for-12 from the floor to go along with 2-for-2 from deep with four rebounds and two assists, but was most impressive at the defensive end […]

Lonzo Ball And Brandon Ingram Remain Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) and forward Brandon Ingram (concussion) will miss another game Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Heat Rule Out Goran Dragic, Dwyane Wade, James Johnson Wednesday

The Miami Heat have ruled out point guard Goran Dragic (ankle), Dwyane Wade (rest) and James Johnson (ankle) for Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks.

Terry Rozier is Questionable on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Toronto Raptors. He was ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks after saying he was "for sure" going to play on Monday. Shane Larkin (illness) will not play on Wednesday, so Rozier could be looking at heavy minutes […]

Brandon Ingram Unlikely to Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (concussion) is considered unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He did not travel with the team for Tuesday's game against Utah and has missed two straight contests due to a concussion. Ingram will not be allowed to play until he clears the NBA's concussion protocol. […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs will rest their veterans.
