  • Nolan Traore PG | BKN

    Nets' Nolan Traore: Struggles in return

    Traore recorded six points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 17 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to Philadelphia.

    Traore was ineffective in his return from a one-game absence as he struggled with his shot while committing five turnovers. It's been an up-and-down season for the rookie first-rounder from France, but he has been a mainstay in the Nets' starting lineup since late January, and the extra playing time should help with his long-term development. Traore has averaged 10.2 points, 3.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 threes and 1.1 steals over 24.8 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

  • Celtics' Charles Bassey: Plans to sign with Boston

    The Celtics intend to sign Bassey (personal) to a 10-day contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

    Bassey didn't play Friday when the Santa Cruz Warriors lost to the Cleveland Charge in the G League, and now he's expected to join Boston on a 10-day deal. The big man will add some much-needed frontcourt depth behind Neemias Queta and Luka Garza while Nikola Vucevic (finger) is out.

  • Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Available Saturday

    Scheierman (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

    Scheierman will shed his probable tag due to a right ankle sprain, though he'll likely slide back to the second unit Saturday due to Jayson Tatum (Achilles) returning to the lineup. Over his last five outings (two starts), Scheierman has averaged 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.6 minutes per tilt.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Carrying doubtful tag

    Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Gafford didn't play Friday against the Cavaliers due to rest, and the doubtful tag suggests the big man isn't expected to be available Sunday as well. Gafford has started every game he's been available for since Jan. 28, averaging 11.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest during that span. If he's out, look for Marvin Bagley to remain in the starting lineup.

  • Derrick White SG | BOS

    Celtics' Derrick White: Cleared to play Saturday

    White (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

    White has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a right knee contusion, which will likely result in Payton Pritchard reverting to a bench role for Saturday's contest. In his last outing against the Spurs on Tuesday, White finished with 34 points, seven assists, five rebounds, one block and three three-pointers over 40 minutes.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Thompson (rest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Thompson is expected to sit out the front end of this back-to-back set, though he'd likely return for Monday's game in New Orleans if he's ruled out Sunday. If the veteran wing is ultimately ruled out, Naji Marshall and Khris Middleton would be candidates to see a bump in minutes.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Likely to play Sunday

    Martin (finger) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Martin was able to play through a left finger sprain in Friday's 138-105 loss to Cleveland, and it appears as though he'll continue to do so in Sunday's rematch. Since the All-Star break, Martin has averaged 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists over 18.5 minutes per game.

  • PJ Washington PF | DAL

    Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Questionable for Sunday

    Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Washington missed Friday's loss to the Cavaliers due to left ankle soreness, though there's a chance he will return for Sunday's rematch in Cleveland. If the 27-year-old forward remains out, Khris Middleton, Caleb Martin (finger) and Naji Marshall would be candidates for increased minutes.

  • Knicks' Jeremy Sochan: Could return Sunday

    Sochan (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Golden State.

    Sochan was unable to play against the Pacers on Friday due to an illness. He has a chance to come back Sunday, though Sochan has played single-digit minutes in each of his last seven outings, so his return would not influence the Knicks' rotation all that much.

  • Josh Hart SF | NY

    Knicks' Josh Hart: Questionable to play Sunday

    Hart (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Hart didn't play in Friday's win over the Pacers, and the questionable tag means the veteran forward could be in line to miss a third consecutive contest. Hart has been a regular starter for the Knicks when available, though. He's averaging 10.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 28.0 minutes per game in 11 starts since the All-Star break.
