Jamal Murray Stays Hot With 22 Points

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray is starting to heat up after a slow start to the season, hitting eight of 17 shots for 22 points against the Lakers on Thursday night. He also grabbed 10 rebounds, but only dished out one assist. The Blue Arrow was never known for his assist numbers, but we would […]

Gary Harris Quiet In Road Loss

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was quiet against the Lakers on Thursday, scoring only 13 points in what was considered a very good matchup. He probably disappointed a lot of DFS players with his performance tonight, where he didn’t pick up any steals or blocks. Good news is Harris looks healthy and the hamstring injury […]

Monte Morris Earns Minutes In Loss

Denver Nuggets point guard Monte Morris took advantage of the extra minutes on Thursday, scoring 20 points on an ultra-efficient six of nine shooting. He connected on two 3-points and also dished out seven assists, hitting a perfect 6-of-6 from the line. Morris is playing some extra minutes due to Will Barton (hip surgery) out […]

Paul Millsap Continues To Struggle

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap didn’t do much against the Lakers speedy lineup, managing only six points, five boards and two assists. Millsap did have two blocks, but continues to struggle from the field (38 percent). He was bullied and beaten off the dribble by LeBron James all night, so we can’t put too much […]

Nikola Jokic's Double-Double Not Enough

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic did his part in a disappointing road loss against the Lakers on Thursday night, notching a double-double with 24 points and 11 boards. He would add three assists with a triple, a block and a steal. Despite having turned the ball over six times, it demonstrates his ability to put […]

Lance Stephenson Provides Bench Spark In Win

Los Angeles Lakers forward Lance Stephenson played a key part in a come-from-behind win against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, connecting on five of 11 shots in 25 minutes of action. Stephenson had 12 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists. He also added two triples and a steal to round off […]

Lonzo Ball Puts Up All-Around Gem

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball was absolutely phenomenal in a win against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. Ball not only held his own against Jamal Murray, but also notched a typical "Jason Kidd” line with 12 points, six boards, and eight assists. He had a game-high five steals(!) and hit two 3-pointers as […]

Josh Hart Struggles With Shot In Win

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart didn’t shoot the ball well but still put up 12 points on three of 10 shooting. Hart remained in the starting lineup and that's a trend that's likely to stick. Hart did missed a couple of wide-open threes Thursday, but he was due to come back down to earth […]

JaVale McGee Surprises Again With 21 Points

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee's magical season continues, as the big man put up 21 points on 10 of 16 shooting on Thursday night. That gives him back-to-back 20 + points and it’s no fluke. The former NBA champion continues to get easy bucks around the rim with dunks and put-backs, and shows no […]

Kyle Kuzma Stays Hot In Starting Lineup

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma shined again on Thursday night in an entertaining 121-114 win against the Denver Nuggets, hitting eight of 18 shots for 22 points with a steal and two blocks. The defensive stats are nice, and the versatile forward continues to have the green light with Brandon Ingram (suspension) out. He’ll […]

LeBron James Leads Lakers To First Home Win

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James messed around and got a triple-double in a win against the Denver Nuggets, with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 dimes. James is still cruising along right now, as he’s still adjusting in playing with his new teammates. He’s been a bit more passive than he has in the […]

Jusuf Nurkic Powers Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic was dominant on Sunday, scoring 17 points with 12 boards to go along with a pair of blocks and steals. He's been durable for most of the season, having played 70 games this season so far. However, he's ranked outside the top-100 in nine-category leagues because of his free […]

C.J. McCollum Erupts For 35 Points

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum totaled 34 points (14-24 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Sunday's 108-105 win over the Thunder.

Steven Adams Continues Hot Streak

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams was a highlight for the Thunder on Sunday, scoring 18 points on an efficient 8-of-14 shooting. Adams would grab 10 rebounds and block two shots, and is now averaging 19.8 points and 10.2 rebounds over the last five games. He's been one of the better fantasy pickups for the […]

Carmelo Anthony's Cold Shooting Continues

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony was disastrous once again on Sunday, hitting only three of his 13 shot attempts from the field in a 105-108 loss against the Blazers. He's been bad for most of the season, as his career and production is really starting to trend down. He's averaging only 13.2 points per […]

Russell Westbrook Just Misses Triple-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook fell short of a triple-double on Sunday, scoring 23 points to go along with eight boards and nine assists. He did rack up four steals before fouling out in what was a testy game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers. Westbrook continues to fill it up across […]

Brook Lopez Not Ready For Lost Season

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez looked fantastic on Tuesday, as he is likely rewarding lucky owners who plucked him up off the waiver wire in the crucial stretches of fantasy hoops. Lopez finished the game with 17 points, three treys and a block. He's been terrible all season, as he never seemed to be […]

Kyle Kuzma Erupts For 26 Points And 13 Rebounds

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma continues to shine, heating up for 26 points and 13 boards in a 112-103 win over the Nuggets on Tuesday. He chipped in five triples and overall shot the ball well, going 10-for-20 from the field. It marks his second straight double-double, as he's now averaging 17.0 points and […]

Julius Randle Goes Barbecue Chicken On Nuggets

Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle continues to bully his way during the final stretches of the season, as he finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds on 11 of 17 shooting from the floor. He's been the most consistent Laker this season, especially given the fact he's never missed a game all year. Randle […]

Lonzo Ball Continues To Ball Out

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball continues to impress, as his across-the-board contributions could be sneaky league winner on many teams. There was a cause for concern earlier in the season in when most owners were hesitant to gamble on the hyped rookie, but he's emerged as a bargain at his average draft position […]

Kyle Kuzma Shines With 20 Points And 10 Boards

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma finally got it going on Wednesday night, scoring an efficient 20 points on nine of 16 shooting. He would grab 10 boards to go along with three steals and a block. Kuzma is starting for the injured Brandon Ingram (groin) and should continue to do so until Ingram is […]

Brook Lopez Wins It For Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez erupted for 27 points on Wednesday night, hitting a pair of clutch free throws to seal a 108-107 win over the Magic. Lopez matched a season-high 35 minutes Wednesday, and it's just the second time he logged over 30 minutes since Nov. 17. Lopez was allergic to rebounds as […]

Skal Labissiere Drops 14 Points In Loss

Sacramento Kings center Skal Labissiere was productive again, scoring 14 points on six of 12 shooting. Labissiere finished with four rebounds, three assists and a block, and this marks his fourth straight game in which he has scored in double digits. Willie Cauley-Stein (back) is still nursing a back injury, so perhaps Labissiere will continue […]

De'Aaron Fox Lasts Only Five Minutes

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) left the game against the Pelicans on Wednesday night and did not return, finishing with only two points and nothing much else. It comes at one of the worst times in fantasy basketball, as the playoffs are starting next week in most formats. Despite Fox's upside and opportunity, […]
