Lauri Markkanen Drops 27 Points In Overtime Loss

Chicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen went for 27 points on 11-for-20 shooting during Friday’s overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers. He came just a rebound shy of posting his second straight double-double versus Indiana, having gone for 21 and 10 back on Dec. 4. Markkanen has established himself as an offensive force over his […]

Domantas Sabonis Dominates En Route To Double-Double

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Domantas Sabonis forcefully got back into the double-double column Friday versus the Chicago Bulls, finishing with his second-highest points total of the season (23), to go along with 12 rebounds.

Victor Oladipo Ties Season High With 36 Points

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo found his stroke from the field during Friday’s overtime win against the Chicago Bulls, tying his season high with 36 points on 14-for-28 shooting, while adding seven rebounds, four assists and three steals for an all-around monster performance. The explosion of scoring is a much-welcomed sight for owners concerned […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Kyle Kuzma will not be able to suit up for Friday’s contest versus the New York Knicks due to a bruised back. Kuzma picked up the injury Wednesday, and his absence leaves an even larger void with LeBron James joining him on the sidelines. It’s tough to see one specific […]

Mitchell Robinson To Miss Friday’s Contest

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will remain in street clothes for Friday’s game versus the Los Angeles Lakers due to his left ankle injury. Robinson was listed as a game-time decision, but will be forced to sit out his ninth consecutive game, which should lead to Luke Kornet and Enes Kanter seeing the majority […]

Cody Zeller Ruled Out For 4-6 Weeks

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller will miss at least the next month of action after having surgery to correct a broken hand, which could have him out for upwards of six weeks. Willy Hernangomez drew the start in his stead in Charlotte’s most recent outing, although Frank Kaminsky could see some additional run over the […]

James Ennis To Return Thursday With Minutes Restriction

Houston Rockets small forward James Ennis is set to re-enter his club’s rotation for Thursday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors, but will be limited to around 15 minutes of action. Ennis has missed 10 straight contests due to a hamstring injury, but his return to the fold is a bit of good injury news […]

Grizzlies Acquire Justin Holiday

Shooting guard/small forward Justin Holiday will now be gearing up for a playoff push during the second half of the season following a trade to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. Averaging 11.6 points and a career-high 4.4 rebounds per contest, Holiday has attempted 7.1 three-pointers per game this year for the Bulls, giving Memphis another […]

Marcus Morris Picks Up Questionable Tag For Friday

Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris is listed as questionable for Friday’s game versus the Dallas Mavericks due to a neck strain. Morris is in the midst of a career year, averaging 15.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, on pace to set career highs in both categories. Having scored in double figures in 15 […]

Dwyane Wade Tagged As Questionable For Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade has his status for Friday’s game versus the Washington Wizards up in the air due to an illness. Wade missed Wednesday’s outing due to the ailment, with Dion Waiters making his return and scooping up some of Wade's minutes. Despite a backcourt that continues to remain crowded in Miami, […]

Jeff Teague Questionable For Friday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague is questionable to make his return to action Friday versus the Orlando Magic as he battles left ankle inflammation. Teague has not suited up since Dec. 15 due to the injury, leaving Tyus Jones to see the majority of the minutes at the point with Derrick Rose also sidelined […]

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will be sidelined for Thursday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs after all following a roller coaster of designations prior to tip-off. Figure Fred Van Vleet to remain in the starting lineup in his absence and continue to see the lion’s share of ball-handling duties. Lowry’s absence will be […]

Ricky Rubio Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio is tagged as questionable to play in Thursday’s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to left foot soreness. When Rubio was absent earlier in the week, Dante Exum filled in excellently, so should Rubio be ruled out, the Jazz backcourt could present itself as a high-upside endeavor in DFS. […]

Robert Covington To Miss Friday’s Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Robert Covington will be unable to suit up for Friday’s game versus the Orlando Magic due to knee and ankle soreness. Josh Okogie drew the start in his place Wednesday, but was far from a home run in terms of production. Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns mostly absorbed Covington’s shots, with […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving will miss his second straight contest Friday versus the Dallas Mavericks after having his eye scratched during Monday’s game against the Spurs. Terry Rozier logged the start in Irving’s stead Wednesday and is likely in line to do so again with Irving out, putting Rozier up for strong DFS […]

Mike Conley Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley is questionable to suit up for Friday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets due to left shoulder soreness. Add a shoulder injury to Conley’s rolodex of injuries during the first half of 2018-19, despite having missed just a single game. There was clearly something off with Conley during Wednesday’s game […]

Gordon Hayward Erupts For Season-High 35 Points

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward was virtually unstoppable during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing 14-for-18 from the floor en route to a season-high 35 points. On the heels of a scoreless performance Monday, Hayward completely flipped the script for his best showing in over two years. There must be something in facing […]

Andrew Wiggins Delivers Season-High 31-Point Performance

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins dropped 31 points Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics, while logging a season-high 43 minutes. With Robert Covington, Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose all out of action, Wiggins took the offensive initiative, finishing 10-for-18 from the floor. It was a quiet night elsewhere in his stat line -- three […]

Tyus Jones Logs 40 Minutes In Near Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones remained in the starting five Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics with Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose still sidelined, and Jones posted 14 points and nine assists in 40 minutes of action. With Jerryd Bayless logging just five minutes off the bench behind him, it’s clear that Jones will be […]

Terry Rozier Ties Career High With Five Steals

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Terry Rozier entered the starting lineup for Wednesday’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 16 points, five assists and tying his career high with five steals. When given the opportunity to start, Rozier has excelled, averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in three starts this season, as opposed […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Continues Stretch Of Elite Play

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has been embracing his role as top dog and did so again Wednesday during a loss versus the Boston Celtics. Towns had a quiet first half, before eventually picking it up to finish with 28 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, giving him his fifth straight double-double. Without Jeff Teague, […]

Jarrett Allen Notches Double-Double In Victory

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds during Wednesday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Allen saw plenty of Anthony Davis on Wednesday, but he was able to notch his own double-double, only his second since Dec. 8. Allen saw 31 minutes of action, but whether that was […]

Joe Harris Continues Knocking Down Threes To Open 2019

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Joe Harris open 2019 much in the same fashion that he closed 2018: by hitting threes. Harris recorded 21 points in 29 minutes during Wednesday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, his fourth 20-point contest of the year. He reached that plateau on the back of three made triples, having […]

D'Angelo Russell Ties Career High With 13 Assists

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell took advantage of Wednesday’s up-tempo match-up versus the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with 22 points and a career-high-tying 13 assists. Make that the second time this season Russell has recorded a baker’s dozen in the assists column, also adding five rebounds, two steals and two made three-pointers to his […]

Elfrid Payton Drops 25 Points In Second Game Back

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton caught fire from the floor during Wednesday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with a season-high 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting. Payton also added seven assists and two rebounds, as he received 34 minutes and helped key an offense that is looking for additional scorers with Nikola Mirotic […]

Anthony Davis Collects Career-High 26 Rebounds

New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Anthony Davis delivered another historic night Wednesday in what has been a season full of such outings. Davis notched a career-high 26 rebounds, adding 34 points to an enormous stat line that also included four assists and three blocks. Even with that effort, his team came up short. Still, through […]

Joel Embiid Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has picked a questionable designation ahead of Wednesday’s contest versus the Phoenix Suns. The news isn’t terribly shocking as Embiid was a true game-time decision Tuesday due to a knee injury which held him out of his previous contest. With both Jimmy Butler and Wilson Chandler both already ruled out […]

Rudy Gay Doubtful For Thursday’s Contest

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Rudy Gay will likely be absent from Thursday’s game against the Toronto Raptors due to a wrist injury. Davis Bertans saw an extended role with Gay missing Monday’s game, and could again, as it appears doubtful Gay will be able to face his former team Thursday. Gay has had a […]

Patrick McCaw To Make Season Debut Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Patrick McCaw will suit up for the first time this season Wednesday versus the Miami Heat, having recently inked a two-year deal to join Cleveland. McCaw averaged just 4.0 points per game during his two seasons as a member of the Golden State Warriors, so while he should have more opportunities […]

Tristan Thompson and Rodney Hood Both Cleared For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson and shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood will play in Wednesday’s match-up versus the Miami Heat, both having previously been listed as questionable. Thompson is returning from a 10-game absence due to a sprained foot and figures to heavily affect the workload of Larry Nance Jr. upon his return. It’s been […]
