LaMarcus Aldridge Struggles With Shot On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge continued to struggle with his scoring, posting his third dud in his last five games. Aldridge was only able to make three of 15 shots from the field for 10 points, 16 rebounds, one assist, two steals, two blocks and three turnovers in 38 minutes. The 33-year-old is just […]

Rudy Gay Leaves Thursday's Game Late

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay was forced to the locker room in the fourth quarter on Thursday and did not return. The injury didn't look serious, and it most likely is complications from his heel issue that has kept him out four of the previous six games. Gay left the contest with 19 points, […]

Bryn Forbes Scores 17 Points

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes scored 17 points with one rebound, two assists and five three-pointers in 33 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. The return of Derrick White hasn't hurt Forbes' value at all, and he has averaged 13.0 points, 1.6 boards, 2.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers during those five games. […]

DeMar DeRozan Continues To Exceed Draft Value

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 34 points with six rebounds, five assists, one block, three steals and one turnover in 41 minutes on Thursday. DeRozan has averaged 37 minutes per game on the season and is producing averages of 25.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 steals with a 28.8 […]

Luc Mbah a Moute Out Again

Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) will not play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, making it 10 consecutive games the 31-year-old has missed. His next chance to play will be Saturday in Brooklyn, but despite getting called questionable for all these contests, we find it highly unlikely he will suit […]

Avery Bradley Out Again On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is out again on Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs. The Clippers keep calling him questionable but have ruled him out pre-game for five consecutive contests. When he does finally return, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken the starting role from him and is the one that needs to […]

Monte Morris Starting For Jamal Murray On Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris will draw the first start of his career on Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks, replacing Jamal Murray in the lineup. Wow, this a big move for Denver, who has been destroyed on defense over the past week. Morris has been effective in 22.6 minutes per game this season and should […]

Andre Iguodala Draws Start Over Quinn Cook

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala is drawing the start over Quinn Cook on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors are trying to get some extra size and defense for James Harden and Chris Paul. Iguodala has been limited this season, so the Warriors are still not likely to give him an inordinate amount […]

Gerald Green Appears Good To Go For Thursday

Houston Rockets guard/forward Gerald Green (ankle) is in uniform and going through shootaround for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. If you wanted to play him tonight, feel free to fire him up on DFS sites. He looks like he will not have any restrictions on the night.

Maurice Harkless Remains Out On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless (knee) remains out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Harkless' knee issue refuses to go away, and this is the 10th straight game he will have missed. With Seth Curry (knee) also out, Evan Turner and Nik Stauskas will see some extra work on the night.

Alex Len Is Available On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (ankle) is available to play versus the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. He was active for Tuesday's game also, but the Hawks may have overworked him with 32 minutes. There is a possibility that Atlanta puts him on a minutes restriction tonight, and we could see his playing time hover somewhere […]

Seth Curry Out On Friday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Seth Curry (knee) is out of Friday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team is calling it a right patellar bone bruise, and he is day-to-day going forward. Curry has seen time at the three perimeter positions, and his absence should open up a few extra minutes for Evan Turner and […]

Draymond Green Will Have Minutes Restriction

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (toe) will be on a minutes restriction, according to head coach Steve Kerr. There is no timetable for how long the limit will last but Kerr did cite Golden State's busy schedule as one of the reasons. The team plays on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Green will start versus […]

Gerald Green Is A Game-Time Decision On Thursday

Houston Rockets guard/forward Gerald Green (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Green suffered a right ankle sprain last Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs and has been inactive for the previous two games. The Rockets are the first game of the night, meaning DFS owners will have […]

Gary Clark Will Play On Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Gary Clark (hip) will play on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Clark has been adamant about his availability for tonight's contest, so this doesn't come as surprising news. With Carmelo Anthony no longer active for the Houston Rockets, Clark will see an increased role, but he still isn't worth owning in […]

Danny Green Is Probable For Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Danny Green (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Green exited Wednesday's contest with back tightness and did not return in the club's loss. The Celtics are a key game versus a division rival, and it sounds like Green will be in the starting lineup. Check back […]

Omri Casspi Probable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. Casspi has missed the team's previous five games due to right knee soreness, and his addition to the lineup will be a welcoming sight for a depleted Grizzlies depth chart. Unfortunately, his return does very little for fantasy […]

Rudy Gay Listed As Active On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will return from his one-game absence on Thursday. Unfortunately, Gay has missed four of his last five contests due to a right heel issue that has been dealing with inflammation, but Wednesday's vacancy from the lineup was purely for precautionary purposes. However, preventive maintenance could become a routine […]

Taurean Prince Listed As Out On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (Achilles) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Prince was dealing with a sprained right ankle recently, but this is the first news we have heard of him struggling with an Achilles issue. Deandre Bembry should see a more significant role tonight and is worth a […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Doesn't Practice Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. Beat writer Rick Bonnell believes "the chances of [Kidd-Gilchrist] playing against the 76ers on Saturday are remote at best." The Hornets injury report on Friday should shed better light on the situation. If he isn't able to play, Miles Bridges is the biggest beneficiary.

Brandon Ingram To See Some Time At Point Guard

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram will play some point guard minutes with Rajon Rondo (hand) out three to five weeks. Luke Walton also mentioned Lance Stephenson and Svi Mykhailuk as guys "who can play point guard," as well as LeBron James and Lonzo Ball. What all of this means is that there is no […]

Carmelo Anthony's Tenure With The Rockets Is Over

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony has seen his brief stop in Houston come to an end. The 34-year-old played in 10 games for Houston, averaging 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, but his negative -6.3 plus/minus rating, which was stemmed by his poor defense, was too much for the Rockets to overlook. The Rockets don't plan […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Scores 18 Points

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie scored 18 points with three rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in 29 minutes on Wednesday. The injury to Caris Levert (ankle) has opened up a huge opportunity for Dinwiddie, who could provide mid-round value with his increased role. The 25-year-old isn't a great fit next to D'Angelo […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Returns After Brief Scare On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson returned to Wednesday's game after a brief exit, finishing with 14 points, nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 23 minutes. Hollis-Jefferson suffered a leg injury going for a steal right at the end of the first half, but he returned in the second half and played his usual […]

D'Angelo Russell Goes 6-For-18 On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell shot 6-for-18 from the field without any three-pointers or free throw attempts during Wednesday's home loss to the Miami Heat. Russell scored 12 points while adding in five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes. With the injury to Caris Levert (ankle), Russell is in line for a […]

Tyler Johnson Posts Season-High 24 Points

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson erupted for a season-high 24 points against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. Johnson was able to add five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers in 31 minutes of action. Dwyane Wade (personal) has missed the team's previous four contests, and Johnson has made the most of his […]

Bam Adebayo Gets Into Foul Trouble On Wednesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor on Wednesday night, scoring 12 points and providing three rebounds, one assist and one block. Unfortunately, Adebayo picked up five quick fouls and was only able to play 10 minutes. The 21-year-old has been brilliant during the season in the limited action he […]

Josh Richardson Is Mediocre On Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson scored 15 points to go along with five rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers during Wednesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Since Goran Dragic (knee) returned to the starting lineup on Monday, Richardson hasn't been his explosive self on the stat sheet, but there is nothing to worry about going […]

Goran Dragic Posts Another Quality Performance

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic scored 21 points with three rebounds and four assists on 8-for-15 shooting from the floor during Wednesday night's road victory over the Brooklyn Nets. After a knee injury kept him out of two contests last week and he scored zero points on Saturday, Dragic appears to be back to his […]

Hassan Whiteside Gets Himself Into Foul Trouble Again

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside put together a double-double in limited minutes on Wednesday. Whiteside produced 14 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 22 minutes, making it the second game in a row that foul trouble has restricted him to 22 minutes. In fact, the 29-year-old is averaging 4.5 fouls committed per […]
