Quinn Cook Scores Eight Points

Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook scored eight points on Thursday night, adding one assist and one steal in 21 minutes. Stephen Curry (groin) is projected to make his return on Saturday, so Cook's time in the starting lineup appears to have officially come to an end. If you own him on your fantasy team, […]

Andre Iguodala Plays Season-High 36 Minutes

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala played a season-high 36 minutes on Thursday, scoring six points with four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal on 3-for-7 shooting from the field.

Klay Thompson Scores 23 Points On 20 Attempts

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson scored 23 points with three rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in 44 minutes against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.

Allonzo Trier Cools Off After Big Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Allonzo Trier scored eight points on Wednesday, adding three rebounds and one assist on 3-for-11 shooting. The performance comes on the heels of Tuesday's 24-point outburst that saw him also provide 10 rebounds and seven assists. The 22-year-old is going to be a headache with his shot selection this year, but […]

The Trey Burke Train Has Come To A Stop

New York Knicks guard Trey Burke has seen his scorching pace come to a screeching halt over the past week. On Wednesday, Burke was only able to provide seven points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer on 1-for-6 shooting from the floor.

Enes Kanter Scores 17 Points In Loss

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter scored 17 points with six rebounds and one assist on 6-for-9 shooting. Overall, it was a rather quiet stat line for the 26-year-old, who has been one of the lone bright spots for the Knicks this season. Noah Vonleh and Mitchell Robinson have been randomly eating into his minutes. […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Struggles On Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay scored three points with one rebound, one assist and no turnovers against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Mudiay had recorded two 17-point performances in his previous three games, so it is disappointing to see the 22-year-old take a step back. The Knicks are a mess with their rotation right […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Has Worst Game Of The Season

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. provided his worst game of the season on Wednesday night, scoring five points with one rebound, three assists and two steals on 1-for-11 shooting from the field, which included going 0-for-6 from deep.

Mario Hezonja Scores 17 Points

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja scored 17 points on Wednesday, adding five rebounds, one assist, four steals and two three-pointers on 7-for-15 shooting. The positives were that Hezonja played 26 minutes on the night -- his fourth-highest total of the season. Unfortunately, however, most of these minutes came during garbage time, and the 23-year-old […]

Noah Vonleh Gets Into Foul Trouble On Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh struggled on Wednesday, posting four points, seven rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes. Vonleh found himself in foul trouble against the Philadelphia 76ers, which has been the issue for most big men when they go up against Joel Embiid. The 23-year-old is currently ranked inside the top-100 in […]

Dwyane Wade Scores 18 Points On Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade scored 18 points in Tuesday's home loss, adding one rebound, three assists and one block on 6-for-11 shooting from the field.

Josh Richardson Records Five Steals

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson scored 22 points with eight rebounds, four assists, five steals and two three-pointers in Tuesday's home loss to the Atlanta Hawks. For the third time in the previous four games, Richardson shot under 36 percent from the field with 17 or more attempts, but the 25-year-old was able to salvage […]

Rodney McGruder Has Struggled Recently

Miami Heat guard/forward Rodney McGruder hit three of nine shots for eight points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes on Tuesday.

Trae Young Posts Double-Double In Road Win

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young recorded his seventh double-double of the season, scoring 17 points to go along with five rebounds, 10 assists, one block, one steal and two three-pointers on 5-for-12 shooting. Young has turned into an impressive commodity in points leagues over the past month, recording six double-digit assist games in November, but […]

Taurean Prince Scores 18 Points In Win

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince scored 18 points in Tuesday's road win, adding five rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers on 6-for-11 shooting. Prince has had a tumultuous month after his quick start to the season and is averaging 14.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.4 threes in November. Those […]

John Collins Beginning To Find Form

Jeremy Lin Quiet On Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin was only able to score seven points to go along with five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer during Tuesday's road win versus the Miami Heat.

Kent Bazemore Provides Defense For The Hawks

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore posted 12 points to go along with five rebounds, one block, two steals, one three-pointer and five turnovers in Tuesday's road win versus the Miami Heat. Bazemore's five turnovers matched a season-high, but the Hawks turned it over 24 times as a team, so the 29-year-old wasn't the only issue […]

Jeremy Lamb Maintains Quality Form

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb scored 21 points on Monday, adding in eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers on 8-for-15 shooting from the field.
