Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins scored 13 points to go along with five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer on 6-for-15 shooting from the field.

Taj Gibson Gets Just 19 Minutes

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taj Gibson scored seven points with four rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Dario Saric's arrival in Minnesota has relegated Gibson to a limited role, and he hasn't seen over 21 minutes in the past three games. Consider Gibson droppable in most leagues.

Embiid did struggle with turnovers, recording seven in 32 minutes, but his nine-category production has him rivaling top overall value. The 24-year-old […]

Wilson Chandler Scores 13 Points

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler scored 13 points in Wednesday's home win against the New Orleans Pelicans, adding a season-high six rebounds to go along with two assists and one three-pointer.

Orlando Magic forward/center Nikola Vucevic recorded a season-high 18 boards on Tuesday, adding 14 points and four assists on 6-for-12 shooting.

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon scored 16 points with nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks, one steal and two three-pointers on 5-for-15 shooting in Tuesday's home loss against the Toronto Raptors.

Evan Fournier Scores 27 In Home Loss

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored 27 points on 11-for-20 shooting, adding in three rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

Serge Ibaka Excelling At Center For Toronto

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka provided 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists and one block on 7-for-15 shooting during Tuesday's road win against the Orlando Magic.

DeAndre Jordan Continues Stellar Free Throw Shooting

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan scored 17 points during Monday's road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, adding in 20 rebounds and two assists.

Harrison Barnes Provides Empty Stat Line

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes posted 10 points with one rebound, one assist and one three-pointer in 37 minutes on Monday. Barnes was a putrid 3-for-14 from the field and 1-for-7 from deep on an off night in all facets of his game. The 26-year-old dealt with a hamstring injury early in the season that […]

Jeremy Lamb Continues To Roll

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb continued his recent dominant scoring pace, recording 18 points to go along with six rebounds. The 26-year-old didn't do a fabulous job of adding much else outside of that, but he has been averaging a solid 1.6 steals and 1.4 threes during his past five games. After a slow start […]
