  • Pascal Siakam PF | IND

    Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Siakam (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    It appears as though Siakam will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to rehab from a right knee sprain. Kobe Brown has started each of the Pacers' last two games and figures to remain in an elevated role for as long as Siakam is out of action.

  • Dru Smith SG | MIA

    Heat's Dru Smith: Good to go vs. Orlando

    Smith (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.

    Smith drew the probable tag for Saturday's game due to a right hip contusion, and as expected, he has been given the green light to play. He has played at least 21 minutes in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has averaged 6.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.4 steals over 21.0 minutes per game.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Dishes out eight dimes vs. Atlanta

    Rollins amassed 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 122-99 loss to the Hawks.

    Rollins led the Bucks in both points and assists during Saturday's loss, and he helped Milwaukee keep things close with 15 points in the first half. He came off the bench against Miami on Thursday but was back in the starting lineup due to the absence of Ousmane Dieng (illness). Rollins has averaged 15.5 points, 7.7 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 threes and 1.5 steals over 33.7 minutes per game in his last six outings, but he would likely revert to a bench role against the Pacers on Sunday if Dieng were cleared to return.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable to face OKC

    Edwards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to right knee soreness.

    Edwards was also listed as questionable ahead of Friday's win over the Warriors, though he was cleared to play and posted 42 points (13-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes. If the superstar guard is ruled out Sunday, Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu would be candidates for increased roles.

  • Thunder's Branden Carlson: Remains out

    Carlson (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Carlson will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a back strain. He doesn't have a concrete date to return to action, but the big man has a minor role in the rotation, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Magic.

  • Jalen Williams SF | OKC

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Remains out for Sunday

    Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Williams will miss a 13th consecutive contest due to a right hamstring strain and remains without a timetable for a return. He should be considered doubtful for future contests until Oklahoma City offers an update on his progress. The 24-year-old forward's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday in Orlando.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Questionable to face Minnesota

    Hartenstein (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

    Hartenstein missed Oklahoma City's last three games due to a left calf contusion, though the questionable tag suggests he can be considered day-to-day going forward. If the big man is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams.

  • CJ McCollum PG | ATL

    Hawks' CJ McCollum: Nails seven three-pointers Saturday

    McCollum posted 30 points (10-18 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during the Hawks' 122-99 win over the Bucks on Saturday.

    McCollum led both teams in scoring Saturday, with 19 of his 30 points coming in the second half. It was the third time this season that the veteran guard connected on at least seven triples, and in the process, he surpassed Hall of Fame forward Paul Pierce for 16th place on the NBA's all-time made threes list. McCollum has started each of the Hawks' last nine games, and over that span he has averaged 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assist and 2.1 threes over 28.2 minutes per game.

  • Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Returning to bench Saturday

    Scheierman is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Wizards on Saturday, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

    Scheierman had been a consistent member of the Celtics' starting lineup since early February before the debut of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) against the Mavericks on March 6. Scheierman did return to the starting five against the Thunder on Thursday and finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers over 34 minutes. The second-year pro will revert to a bench role for Saturday's contest due to Tatum's return from a maintenance absence.

  • Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Sliding to second unit Saturday

    Pritchard won't start Saturday's game against the Wizards, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

    With Derrick White (knee) back in the lineup, Pritchard will retreat to the second unit Saturday. Over 10 appearances off the bench since the All-Star break, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 15.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds across 31.5 minutes per contest.
