There’s little reason to believe […]

Paul Millsap Delivers Off Night In Loss

Denver Nuggets power forward Paul Millsap was silenced during Saturday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, delivering just seven points, three assists and one rebound across 22 minutes of action.

Jamal Murray Has Tough Shooting Night

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray scuffled from the field Saturday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, going 4-for-14 overall.

Tyreke Evans Aggressive Off Bench

Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Tyreke Evans fired up 12 shots off the bench during Saturday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Indiana Pacers small forward Bojan Bogdanovic stayed hot Saturday, delivering a 22-point effort against the Atlanta Hawks.

Dewayne Dedmon Has Strong Night In Return

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon delivered a 12-point, seven-rebound performance in his return from a three-game absence Saturday versus the Indiana Pacers.

Kent Bazemore Produces Across Board

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore did a little bit of everything during Saturday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers, finishing with 13 points, five rebounds, four assists, four steals and a block.

Jeremy Lin Delivers Off Bench Again

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Jeremy Lin was key off the bench during Saturday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers, posting 16 points on 7-for-11 shooting in 24 minutes.
