De'Aaron Fox Ineffective Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox played just 21 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, finishing with six points on 2-for-8 shooting.

Frank Mason III Scores 14 Points Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings guard Frank Mason III was 6-for-10 from the floor for 14 points in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, adding in a team-high seven assists plus five rebounds and a steal as well. But through four games, Mason's playing time has been impossible to predict, with a DNP against the Thunder, a five-minute showing […]

Reggie Jackson Scores 23 Points Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson continued his strong start to the 2018-2019 season in Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, scoring 23 points on 7-for-14 shooting and adding in three rebounds and three assists.

Andre Drummond Ejected In Fourth Quarter

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond picked up his second technical foul and was ejected in the fourth quarter of Detroit's overtime win over the Sixers. Drummond scored 14 points on 6-for-20 shooting and grabbed 16 rebounds. Drummond's ability to grab rebounds against any team makes him a safe fantasy option, but so far his attempt […]

Ish Smith Scores 21 Points Off Bench

Detroit Pistons point guard Ish Smith scored 21 points on 9-for-12 shooting off the bench in Tuesday's overtime win over the 76ers. He made two of his three attempts from deep and added three assists. Smith is taking two more shots per game this year than he has over the past two seasons for the […]

Stanley Johnson Scoreless Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson was scoreless in 19 minutes on Tuesday against Philadelphia, missing all five of his shot attempts while adding in three assists and a rebound. In his fourth NBA season, it doesn't seem like Johnson is taking that next step in his career yet, and he's likely to be an inconsistent […]

Blake Griffin Scores 50 Points

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin was unstoppable in Tuesday's overtime win over the 76ers, scoring 50 points -- including the game-winning free throw -- on 20-for-35 shooting. Griffin was 5-for-10 from deep and also grabbed 14 rebounds and dished out a team-high six assists. Griffin has taken flight this year as the top player on […]

J.J. Redick Scores 30 Points Against Detroit

There was some surprise when the Philadelphia Sixers announced that shooting guard J.J. Redick wouldn't be moved to the starting lineup with Ben Simmons (back) out, but head coach Brett Brown wanted to keep Redick in his current sixth-man role. But despite Landry Shamet earning the start, Redick went on an offensive tear, scoring 30 […]

Markelle Fultz Plays Just 21 Minutes Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Markelle Fultz was primed for a big night with Ben Simmons (back) out, but instead head coach Brett Brown continued to limit his minutes, playing him just 21 minutes while letting T.J.

Dario Saric Struggles From Three Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric scored 14 points in 37 minutes in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons, but it wasn't the most efficient game for Saric, who connected on three of his five attempts from inside the arc, but was just 2-for-11 from deep. Saric added in eight rebounds, five assists, a steal, […]

Joel Embiid Records Double-Double Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored a team-high 33 points on 11-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons. Embiid was 0-for-4 from three in the game, including a miss late in the fourth quarter that could have put the Sixers in front. He grabbed 11 rebounds and, with Ben Simmons (back) out, […]

Robert Covington Efficient In Overtime Loss

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington scored 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons. Covington connected on three of his four attempts from deep while also grabbing eight rebounds and adding in a pair of assists, a steal, and a block. With Ben Simmons (back) out, Covington played a team-high […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Plays Larger Role Against Mavericks

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. has started all three of Chicago's games this season, but Monday's loss to the Mavericks represented a step forward in his usage. Carter played a career-high 32 minutes and grabbed a career-high nine rebounds. He wasn't able to get much going offensively, finishing with just four points on 2-for-7 […]

Jabari Parker Scores 20 Against Dallas

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker scored 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting in Monday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He also added in three rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 24 minutes. Parker has been a solid source of points and three-pointers off the Bulls bench, but his contributions across the board could use some […]

Zach LaVine Continues Offensive Explosion

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine scored 34 points on 11-for-15 shooting in Monday's loss the Dallas Mavericks. With three consecutive 30-point outings to open the season, LaVine is looking like the player that many thought he could be before a string of injuries cost him parts of the last two seasons. The Bulls play Charlotte […]

Kris Dunn Struggles With Shot Against Mavericks

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn went 4-for-13 from the field and 1-for-4 from three in Monday's loss to Dallas, finishing with nine points while also adding in seven assists and four rebounds. Dunn gets a good matchup on Wednesday against Charlotte, who currently allow the most assists per game to opposing point guards, setting […]

Bobby Portis Effective Against Mavericks

Chicago Bulls power forward Bobby Portis scored 12 points on 5-for-9 shooting in Monday's loss to the Mavericks. Portis also added eight rebounds. With Lauri Markkanen (elbow) still set to miss a few more weeks, Portis is a good short term fantasy option. On Wednesday, he gets a Hornets squad that's allowing the eighth-most rebounds […]

Blake Bortles Remains Starter

The Jacksonville Jaguars will stick with Blake Bortles as the team's starting quarterback for the Week 8 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Though the team benched Bortles during a rough Week 7 performance against the Texans for backup Cody Kessler, they'll keep Bortles in the starting lineup for at least another week. Don't expect much […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Effective Against Rockets

It seems like it's only a matter of time before Los Angeles Clippers rookie guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander supplants either Patrick Beverley or Avery Bradley in the team's starting unit. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points in 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's win over Houston, shooting 4-for-8 from the field while adding five rebounds, four assists, […]

Lou Williams Scores 12 Points Despite Struggles From Field

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams went just 3-for-16 against the Rockets on Sunday but was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. Williams is shooting just 28.9 percent on the season and 25 percent from deep, numbers that should […]

Montrezl Harrell Records Double-Double Against Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris scored a team-high 23 points on 9-for-15 shooting in Sunday's win over the Houston Rockets. Harris grabbed four rebounds as well.

Danilo Gallinari Scores 20 Points Against Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari scored 20 points on 7-for-19 shooting in Sunday's win over the Houston Rockets. He also grabbed nine rebounds to go along with four assists.

Gerald Green Scores 11 Points Off Bench Sunday

Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green saw an increase in minutes against the Clippers on Sunday due to the suspension of point guard Chris Paul, and he responded by scoring 11 points on 4-for-8 shooting in 21 minutes while also grabbing four rebounds. Green has some fantasy potential against the Jazz on Wednesday on the final […]

Clint Capela Fills Stat Sheet Against Clippers

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela did a little of everything in Sunday's loss to the Clippers. He scored 23 points on 11-for-14 shooting while grabbing six rebounds and dishing five assists.

Gordon also added five rebounds and a pair of assists. He'll […]

James Harden Scores 31 Points Against Clippers

Though Houston fell by three to the Clippers, Harden put 31 points on 11-for-26 shooting while adding 14 assists. He had four rebounds and a pair of steals as […]

Eric Gordon Starting Sunday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will get the start on Sunday with Chris Paul (suspension) unavailable. Gordon will have a good chance to make an impact for the Rockets and should see a bump in his fantasy stock for the next two games. Meanwhile, expect an increase in playing time for Gerald Green in Gordon's […]

Nene Hilario Out Sunday

Houston Rockets center Nene Hilario (calf) won't make his season debut on Sunday against the Clippers, as he remains out. The Rockets have had to make due without a true backup center so far this season, with P.J. Tucker seeing time at the five in small ball units. As long as Nene is out, expect […]

Will Barton To Miss Unknown Amount Of Time

Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton (groin) was carted off the floor on Saturday and a timetable for his return remains unknown. Until Barton returns, expect to see an increase in playing time for Torrey Craig, who replaced Barton in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Warriors. Craig is unlikely to be a popular […]
