John Konchar Doubtful For Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's action against the Timberwolves. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest with a left thumb sprain. Jake LaRavia saw a lot of extra action without Konchar on Monday versus Brooklyn and could get further opportunities on Wednesday, especially with Luke Kennard (illness) […]

Luke Kennard Won't Play On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Minnesota. He has caught an illness bug and will come out of the lineup after starting in back-to-back games. Kennard's absence could help Jordan Goodwin back into the rotation. Following his trade from Phoenix, Goodwin put in a pair of solid performances with averages […]

Cam Reddish Set To Return On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) appears ready to jump back into action Wednesday versus the Clippers, with the team listing him as probable for the big matchup. Reddish has been out for 14 straight games, but he managed to practice on Tuesday and looks set to re-enter the rotation on Wednesday. However, Reddish […]

De'Anthony Melton Won't Return On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Melton missed nearly a month of action due to a back issue. Now, he's sidelined again after only nine minutes during Tuesday's game. Kyle Lowry is still under a minutes restriction. That means, Cameron Payne […]

Scoot Henderson Expected To Miss Road Trip

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (groin) is expected to sit out the entire upcoming three-game road trip. The rookie guard hasn't played since before the All-Star break. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game which marks his third absence in a row. His next chance to play will be against the Oklahoma […]

CJ McCollum Out Again On Tuesday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) remains out on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. The former Trail Blazer tweaked his ankle on Friday night against the Miami Heat and was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. He has practiced, which is good news, and he's day-to-day, meaning there's a chance he […]

Cam Thomas Undergoes An MRI

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) underwent an MRI on Tuesday. However, the team is still awaiting the results. The 22-year-old injured his ankle during Monday's decisive win over the Memphis Grizzlies and was ruled out late in the fourth quarter. He won't play on Tuesday […]

Moses Moody Starting On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody will take Andrew Wiggins' (personal) position in the starting lineup on Tuesday against Washington. The 21-year-old gets a big opportunity to impress after logging just 10 total minutes across the previous two games. Moody has had four previous starts this season, averaging 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists […]

Landry Shamet Cleared For Action

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (neck) will be in the lineup on Tuesday versus the Warriors. The 26-year-old is looking at his third consecutive start after having one of the best outings of the season last time out against Cleveland. Shamet recorded 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, and three steals in 37 minutes against […]

Corey Kispert Good To Go Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Corey Kispert (illness) will be available on Tuesday against Golden State. He has shaken off a questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence. Kispert has a chance to play a larger role on offense Tuesday due to the absence of Deni Avdija (heel). He's been playing his best basketball of […]

Terry Rozier Back In Action Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) will return from a four-game absence on Tuesday against Portland. He should jump straight into a key role with Tyler Herro (knee) on the shelf. Rozier's life has been difficult in Miami, but the extra usage that will come from Herro's absence could give him a much-needed boost. Through […]

Tyler Herro Remains Absent On Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) will sit out a second consecutive game on Tuesday versus Portland. He sustained a hyperextended left knee on Friday against New Orleans and hasn't been able to remain in the lineup, despite being initially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Sacramento. The Heat backcourt has taken quite a […]

Ben Simmons Resting On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) will be rested for Tuesday's clash versus Orlando. He managed to shake off a sore left leg on Monday to play 14 minutes against Memphis, but the team will keep him out of action on Tuesday to manage his back injury. Cam Thomas (ankle) has also been ruled out, […]

Cam Thomas Ruled Out Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's clash with Orlando. The young scoring machine sprained his right ankle on Monday versus Memphis and will miss his 10th game of the season. With Ben Simmons (back) resting on the second night of a back-to-back, we should get a heavy dosage of […]

Dante Exum Remains Out On Tuesday But Could Be Back Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland. However, according to Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News, there's a "good chance" Exum returns on Wednesday when the team completes a back-to-back versus Toronto. Exum has featured just twice since Jan. 1 and looks set to return to action […]

Malcolm Brogdon Making "Good Progress"

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) was re-evaluated on Monday and is making good progress in his recovery, the team has announced. The Trail Blazers added that Brogdon will continue to "ramp up with an anticipated return to action." Officially, the 31-year-old remains without a timetable for his return, but it looks like Brogdon […]

Rayan Rupert Considered Probable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Rayan Rupert (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's matchup against Miami. He's been unavailable for three games due to a right ankle sprain, but Rupert actually hasn't seen any time on the court since Jan. 29. The second-round pick from last year has played 119 total minutes across 16 […]

Landry Shamet Questionable Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Golden State. Shamet might have to exit the lineup after playing in 10 consecutive games. He doesn't have a big role with the Wizards, but with other players dealing with health issues, Shamet landed in the starting unit on Sunday versus Cleveland. He […]

Cam Thomas Won't Return On Monday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against Memphis. He amassed 14 points, five assists, and a steal in 29 minutes. However, with the game seemingly out of reach, Thomas injured his right ankle late in the fourth quarter and needed assistance to the locker room. The […]

Seth Curry Expected To Play Tuesday Versus Bucks

Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry (hip) has been listed as probable on the injury report for their Tuesday night matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry was unable to play in their last game on Sunday due to a sore right hip, but it looks like he's healing from that ailment at a faster pace. The […]

Dennis Schroder Moves Into Starting Five

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder has moved up into the starting five for just the second time in his Brooklyn tenure so far. Ben Simmons (leg) was upgraded to available for this contest, but he won't be retaining his starting role according to the Nets' official Twitter account. Including his time in Toronto, during the […]

Josh Green Considered Probable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (elbow) is expected to play on Tuesday versus Cleveland, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. Green hurt his right elbow on Sunday versus Indiana and has landed on the injury report with an elbow strain, but it looks like he will be good to go. […]

Dante Exum Listed As Doubtful For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. He's missed 12 straight games but has been back in practice and doesn't appear to be far away from returning. However, his return on Tuesday still looks unlikely. Exum won't have to wait long for his next chance to […]

Luka Doncic Probable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) continues to carry a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Cavaliers. Doncic has played in each of the last nine games, and it's safe to assume he will remain in the lineup on Tuesday. The NBA's leading scorer will enter Tuesday's battle following […]

Gary Harris Available Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against Brooklyn. The veteran didn't play on Sunday versus Atlanta in the second leg of a back-to-back. He also missed a game in a back-to-back situation in the week prior as the team continues to manage Harris' right calf injury. […]

Dejounte Murray Shines With Near Triple-Double

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray went close to a triple-double as the team started life without Trae Young (finger) with a 109-92 victory over Orlando on Sunday. He led all scorers with 25 points, had a game-high 11 assists, and was also among the most productive players on the glass, finishing with nine rebounds. Across […]

RJ Barrett Good To Go Monday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against Indiana. The former Knicks man appears ready to return from a one-game absence.

John Konchar Sidelined Against Nets

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) has been ruled out against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday due to a thumb sprain.
