New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (calf) is now listed as doubtful to play Monday against the Sacramento Kings.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoNaz Reid Will Not Play Sunday Against The Cavaliers
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. Booker has been out for the past week with a hamstring strain which was expected.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoAnthony Davis And LeBron James Listed As Questionable Monday
The Los Angeles Lakers are listing forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) and forward LeBron James (ankle) as questionable Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoD'Angelo Russell Good To Go Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) will play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Russell has been dealing with a quad contusion and was questionable to play Sunday, but he will play through the injury here.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoDoug McDermott Available Sunday Despite Back Bruise
Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (back) is available to play Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoSteven Adams Uncertain For Monday
New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (calf) is questionable to play Monday against the Sacramento Kings. Adams left Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets with calf tightness and could miss time with the ailment if he is unable to go.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJoel Embiid Ruled Out Against Indiana On Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) will not play Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. Embiid is dealing with back tightness and has popped up on the injury report a couple times over the past week.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoOtto Porter Questionable Monday Against Knicks
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) is listed as questionable against the New York Knicks Monday night. Porter is dealing with back issues over the past week and played just 24 minutes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will not return Friday against the Washington Wizards. Hunter is dealing with knee "discomfort" and has been dealing with knee issues for the past week, but has only missed one game with the ailment.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoNaz Reid Ruled Out Friday Against Philadelphia
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) will not play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Reid's absence is yet another blow to Minnesota who are still missing Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) and Juan Hernangomez (COVID-19). Ed Davis will most likely start while Jarred Vanderbilt could see extra minutes as a small-ball five. Reid was playing extremely well […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoDevin Booker Remains Out Saturday Against Dallas
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. There was some hope Booker would return as early as Thursday, but it is looking like he will miss at least a week with the hamstring injury.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) will start Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball had tweaked his ankle Wednesday after just 16 minutes of play time and never returned to the game.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) will play and start Friday against the New York Knicks. Nance is returning after a two-game absence with a wrist injury and could be limited in terms of his shooting, but should be good to go on his conditioning.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoDerrick White Out Friday; May Return Saturday
San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out Friday against the Denver Nuggets. However, White is expected to return Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoAvery Bradley And Andre Iguodala Ruled Out Thursday
News keeps getting worse for the Miami Heat as guard Avery Bradley (knee) and forward Andre Iguodala (neck) were ruled out Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat are already without Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Goran Dragic (groin) so they will be heavily depleted on the wing. The good news is […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoTyler Herro Expected To Play Thursday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Herro has been dealing with neck spasms and will return to the court after a 7-game absence.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoDuncan Robinson Available Thursday Against Clippers
Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (quad) will be available Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Robinson played 36 minutes Wednesday, but popped up on the injury report as questionable with a quad injury.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoGoran Dragic Ruled Out Again Thursday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) will not play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dragic missed Wednesday's contest with a groin injury and will remain sidelined in the second leg of a back-to-back. With Dragic (and a ton of other players) out, Kendrick Nunn will likely start and has been a solid scorer in […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoGeorge Hill Will Sit Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill (thumb) will not play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Hill was a game-time decision, but will ultimately miss his second straight game with the injury. Theo Maledon will pick up another spot start, but there are much better options on the wire and for DFS.
Dale Johnson 4 years agoRaul Neto Starting Wednesday Against Pelicans
Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Washington will be without regular starting point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) as he sits the second night of a back-to-back.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoDerrick Favors Downgraded To Out Against Dallas
Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (back) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Favors was questionable with back soreness before being downgraded to out.

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens noted that point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will not be playing more than 30 minutes in a game "anytime soon." It was also reported that Walker would not play in both legs of any back-to-back games this year, so Boston is being overly cautious with their point guard's injury. […]
