Rajon Rondo Coming Off The Bench In Debut
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Rajon Rondo (adductor) will come off the bench and have a minutes restriction on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers. This makes sense given Rondo has been out with a strained adductor and could easily reaggravate the injury. The Clippers have spoke highly about Rondo given his basketball I.Q. and […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoCoby White Out Due To League Protocols
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (health and safety protocols) will not play Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. White was listed as probable with his sore neck, but has entered the league's health and safety protocols and will not play.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJoel Embiid Will Sit Sunday After Returning From Injury
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, rest) will not play Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Embiid returned to the court Saturday after a lengthy absence due to a knee injury and the Sixers are playing it safe by giving him Sunday off. While Embiid was out, Mike Scott has started as a small-ball five while […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoDanilo Gallinari And Trae Young Good To Go Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) and guard Trae Young (knee) will both play Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. Both players missed their last game, but it was a maintenance day on the second half of a back-to-back. Gallinari's return should limit the already low fantasy value of Tony Snell and Solomon Hill. Young's […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoAndre Drummond Out Again On Easter
Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) will miss his second straight game Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Drummond is dealing with a toe contusion and torn toenail after leaving his Laker debut last week, but appears to be making strides toward an eventual return.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJeremy Lamb And Domantas Sabonis Game-Time Decisions Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (toe) and forward/center Domantas Sabonis (thigh) are both game-time decisions against the Charlotte Hornets Friday. Lamb missed the last game with the injury, but has progressed to 1-on-1 in practice so he may be on the side of doubtful. Sabonis picked up a thigh injury on Wednesday, but was able […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoKhem Birch May Sit On Saturday
Orlando Magic forward/center Khem Birch (illness) is questionable Saturday against the Utah Jazz. Birch only lasted five minutes on Thursday before leaving with a non-COVID illness.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoRicky Rubio May Miss Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio (back) is now questionable to play against the Memphis Grizzlies Friday. Rubio is being listed with back spasms which he likely experienced during his pregame routine.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJohn Wall Will Sit Again Against Boston
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) has been ruled out after being questionable to play Friday against the Boston Celtics. Wall has been dealing with knee soreness and there is a very real possibility he opts for surgery to end his season. For now, Wall will likely be considered questionable to play in the […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoLarry Nance Jr. And Jarrett Allen Out Saturday
Cleveland Cavaliers centers Larry Nance Jr. (illness) and Jarrett Allen (concussion) have both been ruled out Saturday against the Miami Heat.

Love […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoJoel Embiid Officially Questionable Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable to play Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This weekend was the targeted return date for Embiid who has been out the past few weeks with a bone bruise in his knee.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) and forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) are both out Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Hawks are on the second half of a back-to-back and head coach Nate McMillan said he was going to sit some players due to rest. Young, however, did say his knee buckled twice on […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoRJ Barrett May Sit Against Mavericks
New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. Barrett is being listed with a sprained ankle which can vary in terms of severity.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoTy Jerome Now Questionable To Play Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable on Friday against the Phoenix Suns. Jerome was originally listed as "out" on the injury report, but there is now a chance he plays given the questionable tag. Jerome, if cleared, would resume his bench role, backing up guard Theo Maledon. Jerome has […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoStephen Curry Ruled Out Friday Against Raptors
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) ruled out Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Curry took another fall on his tailbone on Thursday against the Miami Heat and was a little limited afterwards. The Warriors are most likely being cautious with their star, but it is a little concerning if he reinjured his tailbone which […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoKhem Birch Leaves Thursday With Illness
Orlando Magic forward/center Khem Birch (illness) will not return Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans after leaving with an undisclosed illness. It's unclear what symptoms Birch was experiencing, but it was enough to force him from the contest early in the second quarter. Wendell Carter Jr. and Mo Bamba should benefit if Birch is forced […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoZach LaVine And Coby White Questionable Friday
Chicago Bulls guards Zach LaVine (ankle) and Coby White (neck) are questionable to play Friday against the Utah Jazz. Both LaVine and White have both missed games with their respective ailments, but may have a chance to return to the court on Friday.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (health and safety protocols) is no longer listed on the injury report and could play Friday against the Phoenix Suns.

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) will not play Friday against the Sacramento Kings. Drummond made his Laker debut on Wednesday, only to play 14 minutes and suffer a toe contusion after not playing since early February.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJohn Wall Ruled Out Against Brooklyn
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Wall was questionable with his knee injury, but this is not a back-to-back set so it is a little worrisome.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoZion Williamson, Lonzo Ball Both Questionable Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (thumb) and guard Lonzo Ball (hip) are questionable to play Thursday against the Orlando Magic.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJeremy Lamb Out, Doug McDermott In Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (toe) is out, but guard/forward Doug McDermott (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Miami Heat.

Dale Johnson 4 years agoJohn Collins Will Miss Thursday With Ankle Sprain
Atlanta Hawks forward/center John Collins (ankle) will not play Thursday when the Hawks face the San Antonio Spurs. Collins landed on his teammate's foot on Tuesday and appeared to badly twist his ankle so this makes sense. It remains to be seen if Collins will miss extended time, but Danilo Gallinari should be the biggest […]
Dale Johnson 4 years agoBradley Beal Questionable Against Pistons
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is questionable to play Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Beal has missed the past two games after taking a hard fall and experiencing hip soreness over the past few days. If Beal misses again, Russell Westbrook will likely continue his tear on the box score while Jerome Robinson should […]

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hip) is available to play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Brown is returning from a one-game absence due to a sore hip, but should resume his normal starting role.

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (illness) is out Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers, but is expected to play Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Oladipo has been cleared to play and has been working out in their home arena as he gets ready to make his Miami debut. The rotations will get a little tricky […]

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn (ankle) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Nunn was questionable and had the chance to return after missing one game due to an ankle sprain, but will sit again as he continues to heal.

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (foot) is now out against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. Monk was expected to return after getting the probable tag, but will now miss his second straight game with foot soreness.
