Aaron Gordon Scores 18 Points After Being Questionable

Orlando Magic small/power forward Aaron Gordon’s status was up in the air until shortly before game time against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, but he ultimately suited up and delivered an 18-point, six-rebound performance.

Nikola Vucevic Turns In Monster Double-Double

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic led the charge for his team against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, finishing with 25 points and 15 rebounds, just his second such game reaching those figures this season. It’s shaping up to be a career year for Vucevic in many ways, as he is averaging career highs in scoring […]

Cody Zeller Plays Just Seven Minutes In Loss

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller exited Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz after just seven minutes due to a rib contusion that prevented him from returning. His absence didn’t exactly boost Frank Kaminsky to the point of relevancy, with head coach James Borrego instead opting for smaller lineups with Marvin Williams at the center spot. […]

Tony Parker Plays Season-High 33 Minutes

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker logged a season-high 33 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz, scoring 20 points and adding nine assists off the bench.

For Williams, it marks his second double-double in the span of a week, finishing with 15 points and 11 rebounds against the Jazz, knocking down a trio of three-pointers just one game after going scoreless for the […]

Nicolas Batum Fails To Record An Assist

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum logged 31 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz, he just failed to do much with it.

Kemba Walker Scuffles From Deep In Loss

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker finished Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz with 21 points on 9-for-17 shooting, but went just 1-for-6 from deep. Getting strong looks against the Jazz can be tough but mark that down as the second consecutive 1-for-6 performance from three-point range for Walker. He entered the night leading the […]

Cavaliers Romped During Cedi Osman’s Time On Court

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman was quiet from the field during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, but it was his minus-39 night while on the floor that was loud. Certainly the Cavaliers getting clobbered by Boston can’t fall solely on Osman’s shoulders, but he finished 2-for-8 from the floor -- including 1-for-6 from […]

Jordan Clarkson Finishes With 16 Points Off Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson delivered his usual aggressive offensive performance during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 16 points on 5-for-14 shooting.

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Alec Burks made a splash in his first game with his new team, scoring 15 points off the bench. To top off his night, he added a season-high six rebounds and four assists, proving that if he gets enough run, he’s worth a look in season-long formats. Cleveland has all the […]

Larry Nance Jr. Quiet Offensively Over 31 Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. logged 31 minutes during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, which is a positive moving forward. Unfortunately, he took just three shots and finished with seven points and five rebounds, which is a bit disconcerting moving forward. So few shot attempts aren’t a new phenomenon for Nance, but […]

Collin Sexton Continues High-Volume Output

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton continued firing up shots during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-18 shooting. Make that six consecutive games for Sexton in which he has taken at least 17 shots. If usage rate is your cup of tea, there aren’t many better options that are […]

Tristan Thompson Delivers Double-Double In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson rebounded with a strong performance during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Marcus Morris Scores 15 Points In Victory

Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris scored 15 points while drawing his fourth start of the season during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Jayson Tatum Logs Just 20 Minutes In Win

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum scored 13 points and snatched four rebounds during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

His performance Friday was emblematic of the plight that comes […]

Gordon Hayward Scores 14 Points Off Bench

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward led his bench unit with 14 points during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also added four rebounds and four assists for solid contributions, but even with Jaylen Brown absent Friday, he played fewer than 30 minutes for the third consecutive game. Leading the Boston bench unit seems […]

Aron Baynes Nearly Posts Double-Double In Start

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes moved into the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and finished with 10 points and nine rebounds across 23 minutes. Baynes became a golden DFS play with Al Horford out due to rest, but even with his strong performance against Cleveland, it’s probably best to leave Baynes […]

Kyrie Irving Pours In 29 Points In 27 Minutes

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving filled up the scoring column during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 29 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including five made threes, across just 27 minutes of action.

Evan Fournier Plays Team-High 36 Minutes

Orlando Magic shooting guard Evan Fournier scored 17 points across a team-high 36 minutes Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Orlando wing is still struggling from […]

Jonathan Isaac Scores 16 Points In Start

Orlando Magic small/power forward Jonathan Isaac drew the start in place of the injured Aaron Gordon during Wednesday’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, and he took full advantage of the opportunity to the tune of a 16-point, seven-rebound effort.

Nikola Vucevic Fouls Out In 29 Minutes

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic was hampered by foul trouble during Wednesday’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, but that didn’t stop him from delivering 20 points, eight rebounds and seven assists across his 29 minutes of action.

Taj Gibson Delivers Solid Outing In Victory

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Taj Gibson finished Wednesday’s blowout victory over the San Antonio Spurs with 13 points and eight rebounds. The 10-year vet remains one of the most consistent performers in the league, despite not commanding a large chunk of attention on a team that has players who need their shots. Gibson has averaged […]

Derrick Rose Scores 16 Points In 18 Minutes

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose has made a living scoring in spurts this season and he was back at it during Wednesday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs.

Jeff Teague Dishes Out Nine Dimes In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague piled up nine assists in just 24 minutes of action during Wednesday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs. Teague was limited primarily due to Minnesota’s convincing margin of victory, so there’s no need to worry moving forward. He has started all 16 games he has appeared in this season, […]

Andrew Wiggins Ice-Cold From Field Again

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins remains arctic from the floor, finishing Wednesday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs 3-for-15 overall. He finished with 10 points, while adding three rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes. Wiggins’ poor shooting has become a concerning trend, as Wednesday marks the ninth consecutive game in which the […]
