Alec Burks Ruled Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Alec Burks (hand) will miss his second straight game with a sprained hand Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Burks was originally ruled out, upgraded to questionable, then was ultimately ruled out in a roller coaster of injury designations. In the absence of Burks, Jae Crowder is a good pick up if […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has Quiet Night On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a quiet night as his team lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. He scored just five points, on 2-of-4 shooting, and added a measly three assists and one block in 22 minutes. The rookie point guard has flashed a lot of potential this year, but […]

Tobias Harris Scores 15 Points in Loss

Los Angeles Clippers power forward Tobias Harris scored efficiently but didn't contribute much else on Tuesday night. He scored 15 points, on 7-for-14 shooting, but had just six rebounds and two assists to round out his stat line. This was the first game this season that Harris failed to record a three-pointer, as he was […]

Danilo Gallinari Scores 27 Points In Loss

Los Angles Clippers small forward Danilo Gallinari continued his terrific start to the season on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He led his team in scoring with 27 points, on 7-for-15 shooting, and was a sparkling 10-for-10 from the free-throw line. Gallinari also chipped in with three three-pointers, three rebounds, and two steals […]

Jeff Teague Won't Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Teague bumped knees with LeBron James on Monday and currently has a left knee contusion. He is scheduled for an MRI, so the Timberwolves should have a better idea about the injury soon. Derrick Rose and Tyus Jones will […]

Jabari Parker Will Start on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker will draw the start at power forward for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Chandler Hutchison will head back to the bench after doing basically nothing during his 23 minutes as starter on Monday. Bobby Portis (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (elbow) are both sidelined. Parker's value is trending up with […]

Andrew Wiggins Listed as Questionable Against Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wiggins should be ready for Wednesday's contest. Jeff Teague (knee) and Jimmy Butler (personal) are sidelined for this one. Assuming Wiggins plays, he's going to have heavy usage and be someone worth targeting […]

Jae Crowder is Probable on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's listed as probable, but expected to be fine. Derrick Favors (knee) is expected to play, so Crowder will resume his role off the bench in Utah. Crowder won't have much DFS value, but standard league owners can […]

Josh Jackson Should Start on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson is expected to draw the start at shooting guard on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for the third straight game. Isaiah Canaan (ankle) is sitting out as well, so Jackson and Elie Okobo will most likely jump into the starting five. Jackson […]

Elie Okobo Expected to Start on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Elie Okobo is expected to start at point guard on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Isaiah Canaan (ankle) is sitting this one out and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. Okobo played fantastic on Sunday and he should see more work with Devin Booker (hamstring) out as well on Wednesday. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol and will play on Thursday against the Boston Celtics. He was able to fully practice on Wednesday, so it sounds like he will be good to go. Ersan Ilyasova will move back to the bench and resume his normal role in the rotation.

Jimmy Butler Won't Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Butler is reportedly refusing to play in an attempt to force Minnesota to trade him. This sounds like Butler is going to sit out until he's out of Minnesota. That is not good news for fantasy owners because it's unclear […]

Derrick Favors Available on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Favors is available to play, but he hasn't be officially announced back in the starting lineup. Assuming Favors plays, Jae Crowder would move back to the bench. Georges Niang would lose almost all his minutes and value.

Shelvin Mack Has Near Double-Double Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Shelvin Mack had a good game off the bench for his team on Tuesday against the Washington Wizards. He scored 14 points, on a solid 5-for-8 shooting, and hit 2-of-3 three-pointers. The Grizzlies backup point guard, also had eight dimes, two rebounds, one steal, and had no turnovers, in his 30 […]

Anthony Davis is Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Davis looked good during shootaround, according to Will Guillory. The Pelicans are likely going to wait until closer to tip-off before announcing whether or not Davis will play. Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic would see increased playing time […]

Dirk Nowitzki is Not Close to Returning

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) said he's measuring his return in weeks, not days. That's not an encouraging sign from the 40-year-old veteran. Harrison Barnes and DeAndre Jordan are going to remain in the starting five for the foreseeable future. Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber will likely lose some playing time once Nowitzki returns. […]

Marc Gasol Has Strong Performance In Win

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol had a stellar performance in a win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. He scored 19 points, on an extremely efficient 7-for-10 shooting and hit 2-of-3 three-pointers. Gasol also had six assists, five steals, and five rebounds, in 36 minutes. Although it wasn't a perfect night for Gasol, as […]

Mike Conley Struggles With Shot Against The Wizards

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley couldn't find the range against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. He struggled with his shot, to the tune of 6-for-18 shooting and 2-of-8 from three-point range. Conley did a decent job contributing in other areas though, with seven assists, three rebounds, one steal, and one block, in 35 […]

Garrett Temple Leads Grizzlies In Scoring With 20 Points

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Garrett Temple had another solid scoring game for his club on Tuesday night. He scored a team-high 20 points, on 5-for-13 shooting, and went a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. Temple also had seven rebounds, four three-pointers, and one assist, in 35 minutes. While his teammate Kyle Anderson got all […]

Kyle Anderson Stuffs Stat Sheet Against The Wizards

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Kyle Anderson finally had a half decent game on Tuesday night. He filled the stat sheet with 11 rebounds, five points, four steals, and three assists in 28 minutes. The rebound and steals numbers are nice, but Anderson still hasn’t scored much and his usage rate is not encouraging. He currently […]

Clint Capela Grabs 14 Rebounds Against Portland

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela has four double-doubles in six games after putting up a 14-point, 14-rebound performance against Portland on Tuesday. Capela was 6-for-11 from the field and also blocked three shots. Houston plays the Nets on Friday and Capela will spend a lot of time matched up with second-year center Jarrett Allen, whose […]

Chris Paul Scores 17 Points In Loss To Portland

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul led the Rockets in scoring on Tuesday, but he finished with just 17 points on 6-for-19 shooting as Houston fell to the Trail Blazers. Paul also added five rebounds, nine assists, and two steals. Houston plays Brooklyn on Friday, and the Nets currently rank in the middle of the […]

Carmelo Anthony Struggles From Field Against Portland

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony went just 2-for-12 from the field in Tuesday's loss to the Trail Blazers, finishing with eight points. He added four rebounds, a steal, two blocks...and no assists. Anthony has been inconsistent for the Rockets so far this year and a major contributor to the team's struggles, but as long as […]

Caleb Swanigan Grabs 11 Rebounds

Portland Trail Blazers power forward Caleb Swanigan has played in just three games this year, but he's grabbed double-digit rebounds in two of those games off the Portland bench. On Tuesday against the Rockets, Swanigan pulled down 11 boards to go along with two points on 1-for-6 shooting. Swanigan has taken six shots in back-to-back […]

Nik Stauskas Scores In Double Figures Again

Portland Trail Blazers guard Nik Stauskas was just 3-for-10 from the field against Houston on Tuesday, but his 10 points represented the fourth time this season that he's scored at least 10 points. Stauskas is currently averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and three-point field goal percentage and gets a chance to keep that going […]

C.J. McCollum Scores 19 Points Against Houston

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum scored 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Houston Rockets. He was 3-for-6 from downtown and added in four rebounds and two assists. McCollum's scoring numbers are down this year, mainly thanks to a drop in shot attempts and in field goal percentage on two-point […]

Damian Lillard Shoots 80 Percent Against Rockets

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard made eight of his 10 field goal attempts in Tuesday's win over the Houston Rockets, finishing with 22 points and connecting on one of his two attempts from deep. Lillard also added seven assists and three rebounds. Portland plays the Pelicans on Thursday, who allow the ninth-most assists […]

Jusuf Nurkic Scores 22 Points Against Rockets

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic had no issues with Houston's interior defense in Tuesday's win over the Rockets, scoring 22 points on 7-for-10 shooting and grabbing 10 rebounds. Nurkic was coming off a pair of poor shooting performances and had began to open the door for backup center Zach Collins, so this strong showing […]

Russell Westbrook Scores 32 Points In The Win

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook continued his battles with Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley as Westbrook got the best of him in the win. Westbrook was a solid 13-for-25 from the floor to score 32 points while adding eight dimes with four rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes of action. […]

Paul George Puts Up A Double-Double In The Win

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George put up some excellent numbers for his club in a big win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.
