AUTHOR: joe dexter | IN: Fantasy News | COMMENTS: None Yet |

Chicago Bulls-

Luol Deng, F- Deng was scheduled to go today, but after a rough week of practice, he says he will play tonight against Washington. I cant imagine his numbers will be good though.

Kurt Hinrich,G- Hinrich, who has been out for quite some time with a torn ligament, practiced in full contact with the squad on Wednesday. His thumb seems to be healed, but I would wait until next week to play him.

Denver-

Carmelo Anthony, F- Anthony will be out three weeks with a broken hand.

Detroit-

Rip Hamilton, G- Hamilton will miss tonight’s game.

Rasheed Wallace, F- Wallace will most likely play today after a good shootaround before today’s game.

Golden State-

Stephen Jackson, F- He will also be out 2-4 weeks with a hamstring injury. Jackson says he already feels early, and might be coming back before then.

Monta Ellis, G- Ellis is starting his last phase of rehabilitation, and should be cleared to play in three-on-three drills soon.

Los Angeles-

Baron Davis, G-Davis didn’t make the trip with the Clippers this road trip and will miss tonight’s game against the Hornets becuase of a bruised tailbone.  He could miss additional time becuase of the injury as well.

Los Angeles Lakers-

Lamar Odom, F- Odom has a bruised knee after Tuesday’s action and is listed as day-to-day. There is no timetable for Odom’s return.

Milwaukee-

Andrew Bogut, C- Bogut is listed as day-to-day and has miss two straight games for the Bucks. He is suffering back spasms, and team officials do not have a timetable for his return. I think he will be back pretty soon though.

New Jersey-

Devin Harris, G- Harris is dealing with soreness in his hamstring, but should return to action this weekend.

New York-

Eddy Curry, F/C- Curry made his debut last night for the Knicks, but scored only two points. I think Curry could be a good player to have off the bench. I have already picked him up, hoping he can get the job done soon, because I am missing Shaq and Elton Brand.

Philadelphia-

Elton Brand, F- Brand is expected to be back in two weeks. Brand has a long history with his shoulder, but I expect him to be back in two weeks.

Phoenix-

Shaquille O’Neal, C- Seems as though the big man will go on Friday for the Suns. Terry Porter stated that the big man was just feeling some discomfort, so he gave him the night off.

Portland-

Brandon Roy, G- Team doctors cleared Roy to practice today, so he will be given a shot to play in Saturday’s action.

Toronto-

Jose Caledron, G- Caledron is a game time decision tonight. The Raptors suit it up against the Grizzlies in Toronto.

Utah-

C.J. Miles, F- Miles is listed as doubtful for Saturday against the Pistons. Miles suffered a sprain of his right ankle earlier in the week.

Carlos Boozer, F- Boozer is out due to arthroscopic knee surgery on his knee. He will be out for several weeks, but should be back strong before the season is over.

Washington-

Gilbert Arenas, G- Arenas like mentioned before, is ready to cut and drive to the hoop. Now it is up to the training staff to clear him for regular activities, according to head coach Ed Tapscott.
