  • Spencer Jones SF | DEN

    Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Tabbed out for Friday

    Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

    Jones has been downgraded to out for a fifth straight matchup with a right hamstring strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Sunday in the regular-season finale against San Antonio.

  • Ben Sheppard SG | IND

    Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Ruled out Thursday

    Sheppard (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Nets.

    Sheppard will log his third straight absence due to a right hip strain. He'll have another opportunity to suit up in the second half of Indiana's back-to-back Friday against the Sixers.

  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Joining first unit

    Williams is starting Thursday's game against the Wizards.

    Matas Buzelis (illness) and Isaac Okoro (quadriceps) are sidelined Thursday, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Williams. His last start dates back to Feb. 24 against Charlotte, when he finished with 11 points, two rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes of action.

  • Tari Eason PF | HOU

    Rockets' Tari Eason: Available against Philadelphia

    Eason (illness) is listed as available for Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

    Eason carried a questionable designation heading into this contest. However, the 24-year-old will avoid his first absence since the 109-99 loss to Charlotte on Feb. 5. Eason nearly had a double-double when the Rockets and 76ers last met back on Jan. 22, finishing with 13 points, nine rebounds, two assists and four steals in 28 minutes.

  • Will Riley SF | WAS

    Wizards' Will Riley: Starting Thursday

    Riley will start Thursday's game against the Bulls.

    With Bilal Coulibaly (heel) out, Riley will step back into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (16 games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 16.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.7 minutes per tilt.

  • Ayo Dosunmu PG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Questionable versus Rockets

    Dosunmu (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Houston.

    Dosunmu didn't suit up for Wednesday's 132-120 loss to Orlando. With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Bones Hyland (hip) also questionable, Dosunmu could find himself back in the starting lineup Friday. However, if Edwards, Hyland and Dosunmu can't get on the court, Terrence Shannon might continue to see more action.

  • Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Cleared to play Thursday

    Olbrich (foot) is available for Thursday's game versus Washington.

    Bilateral foot soreness won't stop Olbrich from playing Thursday. The rookie big man is set to occupy the backup center role behind Guerschon Yabusele, a role that's seen Olbrich average 6.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks in 16.5 minutes per contest in his last four games.

  • Joe Ingles SG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Joe Ingles: Out for personal reasons

    Ingles has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to personal reasons.

    Ingles hasn't been much of a factor in the Minnesota rotation over the course of the campaign, though he logged a season-high 18 minutes Wednesday against the Magic with his squad shorthanded. His absence Friday shouldn't have too large of an impact, as the Timberwolves can lean on Jaylen Clark, Julian Phillips and Enrique Freeman to step up in the frontcourt Friday if needed.

  • Bones Hyland PG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Questionable for Friday

    Hyland (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against Houston.

    Hyland is in danger of missing his first game since Dec. 6 due to right hip soreness. If the 25-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Mike Conley and Terrence Shannon would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

  • Bulls' Patrick Williams: Available Thursday

    Williams (thumb) is available for Thursday's game versus Washington.

    No surprise here, as Williams is overcoming a probable tag with a sprained left thumb. The sixth-year forward put up a season-high 20 points in Tuesday's win over the Wizards, so he'll be looking to build on that success in Thursday's rematch.
