In his place, Naz Reid (wrist), who had 17 points and nine rebounds against OKC on Friday night, should fill-in on Saturday.

P.J. Dozier Out Again

Denver Nuggets forward P.J. Dozier (hamstring) is out on Saturday against Sacramento. The 24-year-old has missed his previous four games, so his absence against the Kings isn't a surprise by any means. In his stead, Paul Millsap and Michael Porter Jr. should see expanded roles.

Jamal Murray Labeled A Game-Time Decision

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against Sacramento.

Raul Neto Will Sit Out On Friday Night

Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) will not play on Friday against the Miami Heat. The 28-year-old has missed his previous three games already while working his way back from a groin issue. In his stead, Ish Smith should continue to see an uptick in minutes, serving as relief for Russell Westbrook.

Terry Rozier To Sit Against Philly

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

In his stead, LaMelo Ball, who filled in admirably by racking up 14 points, seven assists, and five steals on Monday […]

Austin Rivers Likely To Play On Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Austin Rivers (ankle) will likely suit up on Wednesday night against the Bulls. The 28-year-old suffered the injury during the first game of the series with Chicago but appears to be good to go.

Anthony Davis Will Start Against Atlanta

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (quadriceps) is available heading into the matchup against Atlanta on Monday.

Terry Rozier In Danger Of Missing Monday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is questionable ahead of Monday's matchup against Miami.
