Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier scored 19 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. He was 5-for-8 from three and also added five rebounds, two assists, and a steal. Rozier's shooting continues to improve each year and he's now over 42 percent from deep for the season. Never a popular player […]

P.J. Washington Efficient Against Pacers

Washington also added nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block. He was 3-for-4 from deep. With another game on Saturday against the Bucks, we'll see if Washington is able […]

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis scored 22 points on 8-for-16 shooting in Friday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets. He also added 11 rebounds and six assists but failed to make a three or record any steals or blocks. Averaging over 20 points per game for the first time in his career, Sabonis has now grabbed […]

Lonzo Ball A Game-Time Decision Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against Milwaukee. The team is expected to make a decision about his availability in pregame warm ups. That's a little nerve-wracking for anyone who is thinking of playing Ball in DFS or season-long. Ball has been shooting the ball well from […]

Jarrett Culver, Karl-Anthony Towns Out Again

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jarrett Culver (ankle) and center Karl-Anthony Towns remain out for Friday's game against the 76ers. Anthony-Towns remains in the league's COVID-19 protocols. Guard D'Angelo Russell is questionable. Expect to see another strong showing from center Naz Reid in this one with KAT out, while Culver's minutes will be filled by Anthony Edwards and […]

Onyeka Okongwu Off The Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (Achilles) appears poised to play on Friday when the Hawks face the Washington Wizards. The rookie has played four games this year and even started in his last appearance on Jan. 24, but with how well front-court player Clint Capela is doing right now, Okongwu is unlikely to see more than 15 […]

P.J. Dozier Ruled Out Again

Denver Nuggets guard P.J. Dozier (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Averaging a career-high 19.4 minutes per game, Dozier will miss his second consecutive game, with the expectation being he misses at least a couple more outings still. With Dozier out Wednesday, there were more minutes for Facundo Campazzo and […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out For Friday's Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nets have been playing Durant heavy minutes each night, so giving him and his Achilles a break in a game that should be winnable without Durant makes sense, even if it's a bit surprising that he […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Available On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and guard Paul George have been cleared from the league's health and safety protocols and are available to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. If cleared, we'd see fewer minutes for Luke Kennard and Terance Mann, who would go from intriguing DFS value plays to being off of the […]

Cam Reddish Upgraded To Probable

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. Reddish played 35 minutes against the Nets in Atlanta's last game, but his quadriceps issue could lead to a slightly smaller role for the second-year forward in Friday's game. Coming off his highest-scoring game of the season, […]

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden To Lose Minutes?

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash says that he'd like to reduce minutes for the team's three star players -- forward Kevin Durant and guards James Harden and Kyrie Irving. All three are averaging at least 35 minutes per game, something that's especially concerning with Durant and Irving's past injury issues. But Brooklyn's lack of […]

No Timetable For Jaren Jackson Jr., Justise Winslow

Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said on Thursday that the team has no update on when forwards Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) or Justise Winslow (hip) will return to the team. Not having a set date for the return of the pair isn't great for fantasy managers, but a return for Jackson in the near […]

Jordan Clarkson Scores 31 Points On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson scored 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He was 4-for-11 from three and added seven rebounds. Clarkson has had a solid scoring role off the Jazz bench this season, but nothing like Wednesday's game, as he'd only had one game with even 25-plus points. […]

Rudy Gobert Goes Off Against Dallas

The Utah Jazz pushed their winning streak to 10 games on Wednesday behind a huge showing from center Rudy Gobert. In 37 minutes of action, Gobert scored 29 points on 11-for-20 shooting and grabbed 20 rebounds. He also added three steals, three blocks, and one assist. Arguably the NBA's best defensive big, Gobert isn't known […]

Luka Doncic Scores 30 Points In Loss To Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic scored a team-high 30 points on 13-for-24 shooting on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to get the Mavericks past Utah. Doncic was 2-for-7 from three and added four rebounds and six assists as well. Averaging slightly fewer points per game this year than he did last season, Doncic is on […]

Norman Powell Continues Hot Streak

Toronto Raptors forward Norman Powell scored a team-high 26 points on 8-for-13 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Powell also added five rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Giannis has seen his overall rebounding numbers fall this year, but this marks […]

Khris Middleton With Double-Double Against Raptors

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton scored 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Toronto Raptors. Middleton also grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out seven assists.

Devonte' Graham Makes Four Threes

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham scored 16 points on 4-for-11 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. All four made shots were three-pointers.

Doug McDermott Scores 28 Points On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott scored a team-high 28 points in Wednesday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. He was 12-for-22 from the floor and 1-for-5 from three. McDermott also grabbed five rebounds. The 29-year-old is having a resurgence this season, but after scoring just two points in the previous game there was some concern about […]

Domantas Sabonis With Triple-Double Against Charlotte

Five NFL Dynasty Sleepers Heading Into 2021

One of my favorite things about the NFL offseason is getting wildly obsessed with random players who don't really have a great shot at being NFL stars, but who I think highly of anyway. Let's share in that fun tradition together by looking at five players who I consider to be deep dynasty sleepers. All […]

Enes Kanter Grabs 22 Rebounds

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Another week of NBA action is upon us. Did y'all see the Cleveland Cavaliers win back-to-back games against Brooklyn this week? Is Cleveland...a playoff team? Is it too early for me to be suggesting that? Will they still trade Andre Drummond at some point to open up more minutes for Jarrett Allen? We'll see, I […]
