Wesley Matthews is Questionable on Saturday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Mavs are […]
Andrew Harrison Ruled Out Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (thigh) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was not expected to play after missing practice on Friday.

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (rest) will not play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Livingston is averaging 5.1 points and 1.9 assists in 15.4 minutes per game this season.

Allen Crabbe Stays Hot In Loss to Kings
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe stayed red-hot with another 20-point game despite the loss in overtime to the Kings.
