Kings rookie Tyreke Evans (sprained finger) will not play on Saturday. X-rays were negative and he is listed as day-to-day.
This is a tough break for Evans and the Kings -- he is coming off a game of 29 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists against the Mavericks on Friday. We'll update his status soon. For now, Donte Greene will move into the starting five.

Shaquille O'Neal (shoulder) will not play against the 76ers on Saturday, his fifth straight DNP.
The Cavs don't play again until Wednesday, giving Shaq's shoulder a long precautionary rest. Cleveland is interested in winning a championship with a healthy Shaq, after all, not pushing him to win a few regular season games in mid-November.

Andrew Bynum (sprained ankle) missed his second straight practice on Saturday and will be a game-time decision vs. the Thunder on Sunday.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson would only say, "We hope he's back. He was better today." We might have an update after Sunday's shootaround.

Chris Douglas-Roberts led the Nets with 24 points on 11-of-19 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Knicks, which dropped New Jersey to 0-13 on the season.
CDR's fantasy stock continues to rise, even as the Nets bottom out in the standings, literally. As they embark on a west coast roadtrip, head coach Lawrence Frank's job hangs by a thread.

Devin Harris returned to action on Saturday, notching 12 points on 6-of-13 shooting, seven assists, two steals and three turnovers in 26 minutes.
A fine start for Harris, who should return to the starting lineup very soon. His minutes might increase slowly, but it's time to get him back into your starting lineups.

Pacers swingman Mike Dunleavy (knee) will make his season debut on Wednesday.
Dunleavy will likely have his minutes closely monitored for a while, so don't put him in your active lineups just yet. But if he's still sitting on your waiver wire, this is the time to scoop him up.

Mehmet Okur will sit out again on Saturday because of flu-like symptoms.
Okur felt had been feeling better, but he left the arena before shootaround and remains day-to-day. Kyrylo Fesenko will get another start at center, but Paul Millsap will be asked to do the heavy lifting.
