Dwyane Wade - G - Heat

Dwyane Wade missed Saturday's shootaround due to illness and is questionable to play vs. the Raptors.
Wade was already nursing a few minor injuries but was expected to play before coming down ill. Hopefully he'll feel better after resting during the afternoon, but check back later for an update on his status. Jan. 22 - 11:48 a.m. ET

Anthony Parker - G - Cavaliers

Anthony Parker will not play on Saturday as he is remaining in Cleveland to receive treatment on his ailing back.
Parker just returned on Friday and appears to have aggravated the injury. He is a solid veteran and has been mentioned as a possible trade target

Chris Bosh - F/C - Heat

Chris Bosh has officially been ruled out of Saturday's game due to his sprained ankle.
No surprise here, as the Heat are facing a long stretch of off-days and Bosh will have had nearly two weeks rest before Thursday's game in New York. Jan. 22 - 11:45 a.m. ET

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The odds of the Rockets swaying Melo to stick around are very slim, and suddenly New York seems destined to acquire him -- whether in a trade or through free agency. Denver is said to have rejected an offer of Wilson Chandler, Landry Fields, Eddy Curry's expiring deal, and a first-round pick.

Mike Miller - G/F - Heat

Mike Miller conceded on Saturday that his thumb injury is expected to take a full year to heal, and will likely bother him the rest of the season.
"It is getting better but it isn't where I want it to be," said Miller. . 22 - 4:46 p.m. ET

Monta Ellis - G - Warriors

Monta Ellis (ankle) is officially listed as a game-time decision vs. the Clippers on Saturday.
Ellis rolled his ankle on Friday but it must not have swelled up too badly if there's a chance he'll play tonight. Bookmakers are calling him "doubtful" and have revised the Warriors' line to -8. Jan. 22 - 5:57 p.m. ET

Kirk Hinrich - G - Wizards

Kirk Hinrich (arm/elbow) is out Saturday and will undergo an MRI within the next couple of days.
The Wizards guard "felt something pop" in his elbow, and with the signing of Mustafa Shakur this is growing very ominous. Stay tuned for the test results, which hopefully will be available by Monday. Jan. 22 - 6:09 p.m. ET

Dwyane Wade - G - Heat

Dwyane Wade is battling a migraine and increased sensitivity to light -- he remains questionable to play on Saturday but hasn't arrived at the arena.
This does not sound promising, but D-Wade is a warrior and with Bosh (ankle) ruled out he might be extra motivated to suit up. We'll find out soon. Jan. 22 - 6:00 p.m. ET

Andrei Kirilenko - F - Jazz

Andrei Kirilenko will come off the Jazz bench on Saturday, as rookie Gordon Hayward moves into the starting five.
This is both surprising (Kirilenko has been starting all season) and unsurprising (AK has played effectively as a sixth-man before, and Utah is coming off a few miserable losses). Jan. 22 - 6:22 p.m. ET

Andres Nocioni - F - 76ers

Andres Nocioni (finger) is on active list and available to play vs. the Jazz on Saturday.
Nocioni's return is great for the Sixers as they pursue the East's eighth playoff seed. However, he isn't a fantasy asset while Philly's corp of swingmen are all healthy. Jan. 22 - 6:24 p.m. ET

Linas Kleiza - G/F - Raptors

Linas Kleiza will not play on Saturday as he is still bothered by his sore knee.
Julian Wright will make another start at SF for the Raptors, but skepticism is warranted with Wright and his temporary gig. Kleiza is day-to-day but it seems like he needs some extended rest to get himself right. Jan. 22 - 6:49 p.m. ET

Charlie Villanueva - F - Pistons

Charlie Villanueva (ankle) will not play on Saturday against the Suns.
Chris Wilcox will continue to start and with Ben Wallace also limited this could be a time we see Austin Daye in action. Neither of them are particularly appealing plays, despite the injury to Charlie V. Jan. 22 - 7:09 p.m. ET

Dwyane Wade - G - Heat

Dwyane Wade (migraine) has been officially ruled out for Saturday's game. Mike Miller will replace him in the starting lineup.
Wade was having trouble with his vision, but at least now he'll have until Thursday to rest up. Mike Miller (thumb) is less than 100% but gets his first start of the season, while there should also be more minutes for James Jones. Jan. 22 - 7:06 p.m. ET

Daniel Gibson - G - Cavaliers

Daniel Gibson has replaced Manny Harris as the Cavs' starting SG for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Whether the move is permanent of not, it really doesn't matter since Gibson was getting starter's minutes one way or another. However, Byron Scott may be ready to play his NBA-caliber players all 48 minutes to get a win these days Jan. 22 - 7:30 p.m. ET
