  • Jalen Slawson SF | IND

    Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Inactive Saturday

    Slawson (two-way) is listed out for Saturday's game against San Antonio.

    Slawson has made waves recently for the shorthanded Pacers, having averaged 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 2.0 blocks and 29.5 minutes over his last four appearances (two starts). However, Slawson has a limited amount of availability for the rest of the season due to his status as a two-way player, so the Pacers will elect to keep him inactive Saturday with Indiana expected to get multiple players back from injuries. After Saturday, Slawson will be eligible to play in eight of the Pacers' remaining 11 games.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Warming up Saturday

    Leonard (ankle) was observed warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Dallas, per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com.

    Leonard remains questionable due to a sprained left ankle, although the latest update suggests he's trending in a positive direction. If the multi-time All-Star can't suit up, Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders would be in line for more action versus a Dallas team that's struggled defensively.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Good to go Saturday

    Post (foot) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

    Post had been previously considered questionable due to a right foot issue. However, the second-year center has been given the green light to suit up Saturday. With Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (back) sidelined, Post and Draymond Green will handle most of the center duties.

  • Warriors' Draymond Green: Available to play Saturday

    Green (back) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Green will suit up for the second leg of a back-to-back despite dealing with nagging lower-back soreness that had him listed as questionable earlier in the day. The veteran forward is coming off a scoreless performance in Friday's loss to Detroit, though he salvaged his fantasy line with five rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes. His availability is crucial for a depleted Warriors frontcourt that is currently without Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (back).

  • Jae'Sean Tate SF | HOU

    Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Cleared to play

    Tate (knee) is available for Saturday's game against Miami.

    Tate, who has been sidelined since Feb. 21 with a sprained right MCL, is not guaranteed to see any minutes in his return to action.

  • Malevy Leons PF | GS

    Warriors' Malevy Leons: Good to go Saturday

    Leons (wrist) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

    Leons will shake off his questionable tag for this contest. Look for him to be an emergency depth option once again.

  • Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Moving into starting five

    Clayton is starting Saturday's game against the Hornets, per Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer.

    Clayton will rejoin the starting lineup for the second leg of Memphis' back-to-back set, likely replacing Ty Jerome in the backcourt. The rookie has been an elite playmaker when given the opportunity to lead the offense, having racked up seven and 14 assists in his last two starts. Even when coming off the bench recently, Clayton has remained productive, averaging 9.4 points and 6.4 assists over his last five reserve appearances. He should see a significant workload Saturday against a Charlotte defense that has struggled to contain opposing point guards.

  • Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Rejoins reserves

    Hendricks isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Hendricks drew a start last time out for the shorthanded Grizzlies, but he'll move back to a reserve role with GG Jackson back in action. In his last six games, Hendricks is averaging 12.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.7 blocks across 25.5 minutes.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Heading back to bench

    Missi won't start Saturday versus Cleveland.

    Missi started in two of the Pels' previous three contests, most recently amassing an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. However, with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) back in the equation, Missi will move to a reserve role versus a Cavs team that is still without Jarrett Allen (knee).

  • Norman Powell SG | MIA

    Heat's Norman Powell: Ruled out for Saturday

    Powell (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

    Powell was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest and remains day-to-day. With this news, more minutes will be available for guys like Myron Gardner, Nikola Jovic and Kel'el Ware.
