Matt Ryan In The Low-End QB1 Range Against Tampa Bay

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will take on the Buccaneers for the second time in the last three weeks. Ryan comes into the season finale having thrown for at least 300 yards and two touchdowns in each of his last two games- as he prepares to face the league's 22nd-ranked pass defense. Tampa Bay's defense […]

Luka Doncic Struggles In Loss To Hornets

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic struggled to four of 10 shooting from the field in a loss to the Hornets on Wednesday. Doncic did have five assists, though he's now failed to make a three-pointer in each of his last two games -- an 0-for-10 stretch. The 21-year-old is clearly still trying to get back […]

LaMelo Ball Has First Career 20-Point Game

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball scored 22 points with eight rebounds, five assists, four triples, a block, and a steal in a 118-99 win over Dallas. Ball's 22 points are a career-high, his first 20-point game in the NBA. The 19-year-old has had a bit of a rocky start from an offensive standpoint, though this- […]

Miles Bridges Puts Up Monster Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges scored 20 points and pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds in his first double-double of the season.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young continued his hot start to the season with another 30-point game in a loss to Brooklyn. Young poured in 30 points with 11 assists and six rebounds, as he went 14 of 16 from the charity stripe. On a night where the third-year pro struggled a bit with his shot, […]

John Collins Erupts For 30 Points And 10 Boards In Loss

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins enjoyed his best game of the season, with 30 points and 10 rebounds in a narrow loss to the Nets.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant dropped a season-high 33 points with 11 rebounds -- his first double-double of the season -- in a 145-141 win over the Hawks. Durant added eight assists, two triples, a block and a steal in 35 minutes, perhaps his best overall game of the season so far. It's safe to […]

Julio Jones Unable To Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Jones has missed the last three games with a nagging hamstring injury and has been unable to practice since the sessions leading up to Week 13. A report came out indicating that Jones would like to suit up again this season, though […]

Zion Williamson Bounces Back With Efficient Night

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson struggled to 31.8 percent shooting in his last outing but produced 20 points on an efficient 9-for-13 shooting in a loss to the Suns. Williamson largely had an empty line besides the scoring, but it was good to see the 20-year-old get his shot back on track. It's been […]

Jae Crowder Catches Fire From Deep In Victory

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder scored 21 points with five triples, two rebounds, an assist, and a steal in just 21 minutes of a blowout win over the Pelicans.

Markelle Fultz Notches First Double-Double Of Year

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz notched his first double-double of the season in a 118-107 win over the Thunder. Fultz shot just 4 of 16 from the field, his worst shooting performance so far- though he impressively had 10 assists and no turnovers, numbers that helped to mask his poor shooting. The former number-one overall […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Best Shooting Performance So Far

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued what looks like a third-year breakout with an efficient 23 points against the Magic. Gilgeous-Alexander added seven rebounds and seven assists- he's compiled at least those numbers in two of three games to start the year. The 22-year-old took a big statistical leap last year, though it's reasonable […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores Season-High 28 Points In Win

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic registered his third-double-double of the season as he scored 28 points with 10 rebounds on an efficient 67 percent shooting from the field.

Jerami Grant's Hot Stretch Continues

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant scored 27 points along with seven rebounds, three triples, three steals, two blocks, and an assist in a losing effort to the Warriors. Grant has now dropped at least 27 points in each of his last three games, with healthy contributions in rebounds, threes, free-throws made, and stocks (steals+blocks). While […]

Andrew Wiggins Bounces Back With 27 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins had struggled coming into the contest against the Pistons, as he was averaging just 14.7 points on 32.7 percent shooting from the field.

Stephen Curry Records Second Straight 30-Point Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry scored 30-plus points for the second consecutive game in a 116-106 win over the Pistons.

Christian Wood Continues Strong Start

Houston Rockets forward Christian Wood continued his strong start to the season in a loss to the Nuggets. Wood contributed 23 points, four triples, three rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and an assist in a team-high 37 minutes. The 25-year-old has been the second option in the offense for the short-handed Rockets- as he's hoisted […]

James Harden Drops 34 Points In Losing Effort

Houston Rockets guard James Harden continued his torrid start to the season in a loss to Denver. Harden scored 34 points for his second 30+ point game of the season, adding eight rebounds, six assists, and five triples. If this is an uninspired, can't-wait-to-get-out-of-Houston Harden, we can't wait to see what a more inspired, in-shape […]

Nikola Jokic Records Second Triple-Double Of Season

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic contributed 19 points, 18 assists, 12 rebounds, three steals, a triple, and a block in a 124-111 win over the Rockets.

Packers Defense Puts Forth Strong Effort

The Green Bay Packers Defense put together a strong game in a 40-14 win over the Tennessee Titans. Green Bay totaled two sacks and two interceptions, though much of their efforts were not seen on the stat sheet. They were able to take star halfback Derrick Henry out of his rhythm early in the game- […]

Robert Tonyan Held To One Catch

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan saw just two targets in a 40-14 blowout win over the Titans. Tonyan registered just one catch for 17 yards, though he wasn't really needed for the Packers' passing game in a contest that turned into the Aaron Rodgers-Davante Adams show. Besides, high-yardage games haven't been Tonyan's specialty […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Scores Touchdown In Victory

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown caught his lone target for a 21-yard touchdown reception in a 40-14 victory over Tennessee. St. Brown has had a minuscule role this season, as he hasn't registered more than two catches in any game. Still, he was able to catch the eye of Aaron Rodgers, who […]

Davante Adams Victimizes Titans With 142 Yards, Three Scores

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught 11 of 12 targets for 142 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a 40-14 win over the Titans.

Aaron Rodgers Spectacular In Dominant Win Over Titans

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers put together an outstanding performance in a 40-14 win over the Titans at a snowy Lambeau Field.

The connection with wideout Davante Adams proved […]

Kevin Durant To Sit Out Against Grizzlies

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (rest) will not play against the Grizzlies on Monday night. Durant has raced out of the gate, averaging 26.7 points per game on red-hot 53.2/69.2/84 percent shooting splits, though Brooklyn wants to be careful with their star in his return from the Achilles injury. It will be interesting to see […]

Marc Gasol Fills Up Box Score In Victory

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol had a strong performance in Sunday's blowout win over the Timberwolves. Gasol scored 12 points with eight assists, seven rebounds, four blocks, and three triples in 21 minutes.

LeBron James Flirts With Double-Double

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James posted 18 points, nine rebounds, five assists, a triple, and a steal in a 127-91 win over Minnesota. James has produced his usual blend of points, rebounds, and assists, though his performance is a bit muted to start the year because of his limited minutes. Perhaps it will take […]
