C.J. McCollum Held To Eight Points

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum wasn't heavily involved in scoring for the Trail Blazers in Thursday's win over New Orleans as he scored just eight points on 2-for-8 shooting. Four Portland players took more shot attempts than McCollum, who was held below 10 points for the first time all season but has also seen […]

Jayson Tatum Scores Just 12 Points

Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum had a relatively quiet night as his team picked up a win on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored just 12 points, on 4-of-9 shooting and hit both of his free-throws. Tatum added six rebounds, four assists, and two three-pointers, in 32 minutes. While his teammates Kyrie Irving […]

Damian Lillard Scores 26 Points Against Pelicans

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard scored 26 points on 7-for-16 shooting in Thursday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Isaiah Canaan Likely to Return on Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Isaiah Canaan (ankle) is expected to return for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Elie Okobo drew the start at point guard on Wednesday. Okobo is averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 29.5 minutes this season. Head coach Igor Kokoskov said there is a good chance that Canaan will […]

Gordon Hayward Has His Best Game Of The Season

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward showed flashes of his pre-injury self in a win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. He scored 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting and was a perfect 3-of-3 from the free-throw line. Hayward also showed off a solid all-around game, with five assists, four rebounds, three three-pointers, and a […]

James Harden is Doubtful on Friday

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It was reported on Thursday that Harden is targeting a return on Saturday. It sounds like there is a small chance that Harden is ready to play against the Nets on Friday. Eric Gordon should remain in the starting […]

Kyrie Irving Scores 28 Points In Big Win Over The Bucks

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving may be leaving his early season struggles in the rearview mirror, as he had another big game in a win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He led his team in scoring with 28 points, on 10-for-20 shooting and made 6-of-12 three-pointers. Irving also added seven assists, three rebounds, two blocks, […]

Al-Farouq Aminu Records Double-Double Against Pelicans

Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu scored 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Thursday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He added 10 rebounds and a block as well. Aminu has had a rocky start to the season, with four games of double figure scoring and four games of five or fewer points. But Portland […]

Devin Booker is Probable on Friday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Booker was listed as questionable after missing three games in a row. However, Booker has been upgraded to probable, so this is a great sign for fantasy owners. Josh Jackson was starting for Booker, but he'll likely move back […]

Jonathon Simmons is Questionable on Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Simmons has been awful this season, shooting 28.8 percent from the floor and 19 percent from beyond the arc. His playing time was supposed to increase this season, but he belongs on the waiver wire right now. Terrence Ross […]

Semi Ojeleye Scores 10 Points In Start

Boston Celtics small forward Semi Ojeleye got the start for the injured Jaylen Brown (foot) and scored a season-high 10 points. He also added five boards, two steals, and recorded zero turnovers, in his 22 minutes of action. If Brown is expected to miss more time, Ojeleye should see some starts, because of how much […]

E'Twaun Moore Scores 19 Points Against Trail Blazers

New Orleans Pelicans forward E'Twaun Moore has only one game this season where he hasn't reached double figures in scoring, and on Thursday against the Trail Blazers he kept that run going with a 19-point performance. Moore was 7-for-12 from the field with a pair of those makes coming from three-point range. But Moore didn't […]

Derrick Favors is Listed as Probable on Friday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Favors was not able to play on Sunday, but did suit up for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. He finished with 14 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes on Wednesday. Favors does not have great fantasy value, especially […]

Jae Crowder Listed as Probable on Friday

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Crowder was listed as probable on Wednesday and dropped 18 points in 30 minutes. Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) has been ruled out of this one. Crowder could jump into the starting lineup. Fantasy owners should check back closer to […]

Jrue Holiday Records Double-Double Against Portland

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday scored 17 points on 5-for-14 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He also dished a team-high 10 assists. Holiday has had nine or more assists in all three games that the Pelicans have been without Elfrid Payton (ankle), so Holiday's chances to reaching those numbers again […]

Donovan Mitchell is Sitting Out on Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is sitting out of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell is dealing with hamstring soreness, so the Jazz are taking the cautious approach and resting him. The Jazz do not expect Mitchell to miss much time at all. Dante Exum is expected to draw the start, while Royce […]

Goran Dragic Expected to Play on Saturday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (toe) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Dragic, Dwyane Wade (headache) and Tyler Johnson (illness) all missed practice on Friday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra expects all three players to be ready for Saturday's contest. Fantasy owners are going to have to wait until closer to […]

Nikola Mirotic Records Double-Double Against Portland

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Nikola Mirotic scored 18 points on 6-for-20 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Mirotic struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just one of his six attempted threes. He added 13 rebounds, three assists, a steal, and two blocks to his resume. It was Mirotic's fifth double-double […]

Tyus Jones is Available Against Warriors

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Jeff Teague (knee) has been officially ruled out, so Jones and Derrick Rose will benefit on Friday. However, Rose is coming off a 50-point performance and should see most of the playing time. Jones has lost most of his […]

Jeff Teague Won't Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has ruled out Teague, but he remains day-to-day with a bruised left knee. Tyus Jones (foot) will return on Friday, so he should jump back into the rotation. However, Derrick Rose has […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (rest) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Butler sat out of Wednesday's contest due to general soreness. It's unclear whether Butler actually has soreness or if he's just frustrated that the Wolves have not traded him yet. Josh Okogie will return to […]

Julius Randle Scores 29 Points Off The Bench

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Julius Randle led the Pelicans in scoring during Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, scoring 29 points on 9-for-16 shooting in 26 minutes off the bench.

Dwyane Wade, Tyler Johnson Miss Practice on Friday

Miami Heat guards Dwyane Wade (head) and Tyler Johnson (illness) did not participate in shootaround on Friday. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra expects both players to be ready for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Neither player has much fantasy value outside of deeper leagues. Fantasy owners should expect both players to be ready by […]

Hassan Whiteside Expected to Play on Saturday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (head) is expected to play on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. He was not able to practice on Thursday, but is still on track to play in Saturday's contest. Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo would see increased playing time if Whiteside does sit out. Olynyk would be the better fantasy […]

Wilson Chandler Upgraded to Questionable For Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is incredibly encouraging news for Chandler, who will be making his 76ers debut when he is able to suit up. The 31-year-old will likely be eased back into action, but he will be one of the […]

Alec Burks Ruled Out For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Alec Burks (hand) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Donovon Mitchell (hamstring) has also been declared inactive for this contest. With an extremely thin backcourt available, Dante Exum, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will inherit tonight's minutes at the shooting guard position. Exum will most likely be […]

Reggie Bullock Doubtful Against 76ers On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) is highly unlikely to participate in Saturday's game against the 76ers. Bullock was ruled out of Wednesday's game after injuring his ankle in the first quarter. He managed to return for a few minutes but was quickly forced back out of the contest. Langston Galloway and Bruce Brown would […]

Fred VanVleet Questionable For Friday's Game

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (toe) remains questionable for Friday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. VanVleet has been out of action since October 22nd due to his painful toe injury. The 24-year-old was averaging 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 24.8 minutes per game before his injury. Delon Wright would continue to serve […]

Robert Williams Assigned to G League

Boston Celtics forward/center Robert Williams has been assigned to the team's G-League affiliate. The 27th pick in this year's draft has only played in three games this season and averaged 4.3 minutes during those contests. Williams should be taken entirely off your radar in re-draft leagues.

Kent Bazemore Logs 25 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore posted a decent fantasy line in just 25 minutes against the Kings on Thursday, scoring 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting while picking up three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. Bazemore has blown hot and cold recently with his shooting, but he did well this time, even making […]
