We’re back to a loaded slate for Wednesday night in the NBA with 10 games to be played. The San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers won’t be in action after the Spurs had four players test positive for Covid-19. The Dallas Mavericks-Detroit Pistons game was also postponed with the ongoing snowstorm in Texas. So the NBA rescheduled a game to be played between the Chicago Bulls and Pistons at United Center. Let’s take a look at early injury reports before we get into lineups later on.
