Jimmy Butler Struggles In Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons scored 18 points on 8-for-12 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds and 12 assists in Monday’s Game 2 rout of the Brooklyn Nets.

Jarrett Allen Has Another Lackluster Performance

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen wasn’t played off the floor by foul trouble in Game 2 of the Nets and 76ers first-round series, but that didn’t mean his Game 2 performance was anything to take note of. Allen scored just nine points on 3-for-4 shooting and grabbed six rebounds. He added a team-high four assists […]

Joel Embiid Active For Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is active for Game 1 of the Nets/Sixers series.

Embiid is still a risky DFS option in this first game back, especially on such […]

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Derrius Guice

Last season, the Washington Redskins drafted Derrius Guice and hopes were high that the former LSU running back could be the long term answer for a team that had gone through a revolving door of backs since Alfred Morris went to Dallas after the 2015 season.

Mike Conley Plays Well In Loss To Warriors

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley scored 22 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Conley also added eight assists.
