Dewayne Dedmon Unlikely To Suit Up Monday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon is listed as doubtful for Monday’s contest versus the Indiana Pacers due to left knee soreness. Dedmon had posted double-doubles in back-to-back games before being forced to miss Saturday’s match-up versus Cleveland. Alex Len entered the starting lineup in Dedmon’s stead, but logged just 24 minutes Saturday, so he’s a […]

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton is listed as probable to return to the floor for Monday’s showdown with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton has been out since Nov. 16 due to a broken finger, having played in just six contests so far this season. His return comes at a time when the Pelicans are […]

Nikola Mirotic Remains Out On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Nikola Mirotic will miss his ninth consecutive game Monday when his team faces the Minnesota Timberwolves. His ankle ailment has kept him sidelined for three weeks and the fact that he was ruled out so far in advance of tip-off doesn’t bode well for his prospects for returning to action […]

DeAndre Jordan Cleared For Sunday’s Contest

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan has been given the green light to suit up for Sunday’s match-up with the Oklahoma City Thunder after having been listed as questionable due to a left knee contusion.

Devin Booker Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker has picked up a questionable designation for Monday’s contest against the Golden State Warriors due to a lower back contusion.

James Johnson Ruled Out On Sunday

Miami Heat power forward James Johnson will miss Sunday’s contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to illness. Derrick Jones has been cleared to play, so he will battle Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo for the available minutes at the four.

Kent Bazemore To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore will be on the shelf for at least two more weeks as he rehabs a right ankle sprain.

Eric Gordon To Miss Monday’s Contest

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon will be sidelined for Monday’s contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies due to a right knee injury that he suffered during Saturday’s game.

Thabo Sefolosha Collects First Double-Double Of Year

Utah Jazz shooting guard/small forward Thabo Sefolosha made the most of his season-high 20 minutes Saturday versus the New York Knicks and recorded his first double-double of the 2018-19 campaign with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Utah Jazz shooting guard Kyle Korver knocked down five threes during Saturday’s blowout victory over the New York Knicks. His five made triples are a new high since joining the Jazz, having made his season high of six in his final game with Cleveland. He added just one assist and one steal to his stat […]

New York Knicks center Luke Kornet made his second straight start during Saturday's drubbing at the hands of the Utah Jazz. Kornet finished with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists while knocking down four threes, giving him an all-around solid fantasy performance and excellent value outing in DFS. Additionally, Enes Kanter played just 17 […]

Rudy Gobert Ties Season High With 25 Points

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert dominated the New York Knicks on Saturday to the tune of 25 points and 16 rebounds in just 25 minutes.

Marc Gasol Records First Points-Assists Double-Double Of Year

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol notched his 13th double-double of the season during Saturday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, but it wasn’t via his conventional points/rebounds method.

Mike Conley Logs Highest Point Total In December

Kyrie Irving Ties Season High With 13 Assists In Win

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving sliced the Memphis Grizzlies’ defense to the tune of 26 points and 13 assists Saturday.

E'Twaun Moore Delivers 21-Point Effort In Loss

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard E'Twaun Moore seemingly resuscitated his offensive game Saturday versus the Houston Rockets, finishing with 21 points and a season-high seven rebounds. Prior to Saturday, Moore hadn’t eclipsed the 20-point mark since Nov. 21, entering the contest on the heels of back-to-back two-point efforts. With New Orleans desperate to find a […]

Eric Gordon Scores 21 Points Before Early Exit

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon dropped 21 points across 27 minutes during Saturday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans, but he left the contest late and will have an MRI on what is initially being termed a bruised right knee.

Julius Randle Posts Double-Double In Season-High 40 Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Julius Randle finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds during Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, giving him back-to-back double-doubles. Additionally, he logged a season-high 40 minutes, which may have been out of necessity more than anything with both Nikola Mirotic and Darius Miller sidelined. Jahlil Okafor played just nine […]

Anthony Davis Notches Double-Double In Defeat

New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Anthony Davis was for all intents and purposes held down by the Houston Rockets on Saturday, but he still managed to finish with 22 points and 11 rebounds, giving him his eighth consecutive double-double. Davis has set such an absurdly high bar that his scoring total was his lowest in […]

James Harden Drops 41 Points To Continue Scoring Barrage

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden is scoring at prolific levels for the time being and a match-up with the high-scoring New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday was only going to enhance his numbers.

Kent Bazemore Knocked From Game Early

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore left Saturday’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a right ankle sprain and was unable to return.

Wesley Matthews Unlikely To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Wesley Matthews has been deemed unlikely to suit up for Sunday’s contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right foot injury, head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed Saturday.

DeAndre Jordan Picks Up Questionable Tag For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a left knee contusion.

Even if […]

Derrick Rose, Jeff Teague Doubtful To Suit Up Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guards Derrick Rose and Jeff Teague are both doubtful to play in Sunday’s match-up against the Miami Heat. Both are battling ankle injuries, with Rose having been forced to the locker room late in Friday’s contest due to the issue. Should both miss Sunday, Tyus Jones would figure to be in line […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Forced Out By Injury

Brooklyn Nets small/power forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson played just three minutes versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday before a right adductor strain forced him to the sidelines. DeMarre Carroll drew the start in the second half in his stead and could absorb his minutes moving forward should the injury keep Hollis-Jefferson out Wednesday versus the New […]

Kyle Lowry To Miss Third Straight Game Sunday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will miss Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bulls due to a back injury. The fact that he has been listed out well in advance of Sunday’s game doesn’t bode well for his return in the immediate future, with his next opportunity coming Tuesday versus the Utah Jazz.
