  • 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.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Questionable vs. Dallas

    Tyson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to left ankle soreness.

    Tyson hasn't missed a game since Nov. 19, but now he's in danger of not playing Sunday due to an ankle problem. His absence shouldn't have a big impact in most fantasy formats, though. He's averaging just 10.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 12 appearances (four starts) since the All-Star break.

  • Sam Merrill SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Not playing Sunday

    Merrill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

    Merrill is slated to miss a second consecutive game while recovering from a left hamstring injury, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Bucks. Merrill's absence means more minutes will be available for Keon Ellis and Jaylon Tyson (ankle), though some of that playing time will be absorbed by Max Strus (foot), who is trending toward making his 2025-26 regular-season debut Sunday.

  • Jalen Johnson SF | ATL

    Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Triple-doubles vs. Milwaukee

    Johnson finished Saturday's 122-99 win over the Bucks with 23 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 assists and 10 rebounds over 35 minutes.

    Johnson once again did a little bit of everything during Saturday's win. He had two triple-doubles in his career prior to the 2025-26 regular season, but Saturday marked his 12th triple-double of the season and second since the All-Star break. Johnson has taken a huge leap in his fifth year in the NBA, partly due to the absence and subsequent trade of Trae Young. Johnson has averaged 21.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.3 steals over 32.9 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Won't play Sunday

    Porter has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas due to a left groin strain.

    The groin injury is a new concern for Porter, who is set to miss his first game due to injury since Jan. 30. With the 26-year-old guard out, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

  • Isaiah Stewart PF | DET

    Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Ruled out for Sunday

    Stewart has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a left calf strain.

    The calf injury is a new concern for Stewart, and it's not a positive sign that he's being ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With the 24-year-old big man unavailable, Paul Reed is expected to see increased burn behind Jalen Duren.

  • Tyrese Proctor PG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Not playing Sunday

    Proctor (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

    Proctor will be sidelined for a fifth straight game and doesn't have a clear timetable to return to action. The floor general hasn't played regularly for the Cavaliers, however, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the rotation.
