The Pelicans will have their depth tested with Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) out for their game against the Rockets. Finally, the Bucks,… Source link

Domantas Sabonis has been integral to the Kings having a positive record so far this year. It will be a quiet night in the NBA on Tuesday with just three games on the schedule. There is the potential for a couple of blowouts, with the Bucks hosting the Wizards and the Celtics taking on the Thunder. We could also see a high-scoring affair when the Jazz host the Kings. The Jazz will be shorthanded, though, with Collin Sexton (hamstring) expected to miss at least the next week. Let’s dig… Source link

Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz travel to Detroit to face the Pistons for Monday’s first matchup of the night at 7 p.m. ET.

The Warriors will once again be in action without Stephen Curry (shoulder) when they travel to New York to take on the red-hot Knicks. The marquee matchup… Source link

Domantas Sabonis has been dominant recently, and a Charlotte matchup on Monday looks like a favorable game for him. The NBA starts off the week with nine games on the schedule Monday. The marquee matchup of the night could take place in New Orleans when the Pelicans host the Bucks. However, both teams will be shorthanded with Khris Middleton (knee) and Brandon Ingram (toe) out. Another matchup with plenty of star power will feature the Suns hosting the Lakers. The Lakers will be playing… Source link

The Miami Heat are either the most injured team in the NBA or threw a very public dig at the league. The team’s Friday began with the NBA fining it $25,000 for “failing to disclose an accurate game availability status for several players” before its win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. For those who don’t speak league office, the NBA was punishing the Heat for sitting star Jimmy Butler, among others, for what the team called “knee maintenance.” Despite missing Butler, the Heat… Source link

Anfernee Simons’ high-percentage shooting makes him an appealing player for Wednesday’s matchup against the Spurs. We have our usual robust Wednesday night slate on tap, as 10 games are on the docket.
