Enes Kanter Comes Off The Bench In The Loss

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter was sent to a bench role and was not too pleased with the move as his club got the loss on Friday. Kanter still managed to score eight points on 4-for-9 shooting while grabbing a team-high 13 rebounds to go along with two assists in 20 minutes of action. […]

Frank Ntilikina Matches Career High With 17 Points

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina tied his career high of 17 points against the defending-champion Golden State Warriors on Friday. Ntilikina connected on six for 11 shooting and 3-for-7 from three but did not add much else as he grabbed just a single rebound with two assists in 26 minutes of action. Coach David […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Continues Great Start

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. put up another solid line as he scored 24 points on 9-for-21 shooting, but it was not enough as his young squad fell apart in the fourth quarter to eventually lose to the Golden State Warriors. Hardaway added four makes from three with four assists and […]

Mitchell Robinson Gets His First NBA Start

Damyean Dotson Plays Well In The Start

New York Knicks shooting guard Damyean Dotson continued his excellent play, but it was not enough as the Knicks lost to the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Dotson shot 5-for-12 from the floor to score 12 points and hauled in seven rebounds while chipping in a steal with a couple makes from three in 30 […]

Deandre Ayton May Not Play Against Memphis

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies. The rookie has been dealing with soreness in his right ankle for quite some time but has been able to play despite the nagging ailment. With guard Devin Booker (hamstring) already ruled out, expect more looks for Ayton if […]

Devin Booker Out Against Grizz

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) will not play on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Booker suffered the injury on Wednesday night against the Lakers and will be considered day-to-day moving forward. In his absence, expect more minutes for guard Jamal Crawford and guard/forward Josh Jackson.

Joel Embiid May Not Play Against Hornets

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) may not play on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets after suffering the injury during practice on Friday. With the team historically playing it safe with their franchise center, the game-time decision designation may be misleading to some degree. Expect center Mike Muscala and forward Amir Johnson to be the […]

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield ended up with 22 points across 36 minutes in Friday's 116-112 victory against the Washington Wizards.

Tyreke Evans Out On Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (suspension) will not play on Saturday against the Cavs. Evans, who arrived late to practice on Friday, will likely only serve a one-game sentence with his anticipated return coming on Monday against the Trail Blazers. In his stead, expect an uptick in minutes for guards Cory Joseph and Darren Collison.

De'Aaron Fox Flirts With Double-Double In Victory

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox went for 18 points and nine assists with just two turnovers across 30 minutes in Friday's 116-112 victory against the visiting Washington Wizards.

Daniel Theis And Aron Baynes Questionable Against Detroit

Boston Celtics forward Daniel Theis (foot) and center Aron Baynes (hamstring) are both listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Pistons.

Iman Shumpert Scoreless In His Return

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Iman Shumpert (hip) returned to action for Friday's 116-112 win against the Washington Wizards, although he was a non-factor. Shumpert ended up going scoreless across 17 minutes, misfiring on all four of his field-goal attempts, including a pair of treys. He was able to salvage the stat line somewhat with six […]

Nemanja Bjelica Posts Double-Double In Win

Sacramento Kings power forward Nemanja Bjelica ended up with 26 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot in 36 minutes on Friday night against the Washington Wizards.

Jeff Green Flirts With Double-Double In Loss

Washington Wizards small forward Jeff Green finished with 13 points and nine rebounds across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings.

Otto Porter Struggles With Shot In Loss

Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter was limited to just five points over 22 minutes in Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings.

Ian Mahinmi Back In Action on Friday Night

Washington Wizards center Ian Mahinmi (center) returned to the lineup for Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings. He finished with just four points, five rebounds, two steals and an assist across 19 minutes. Mahinmi could see a decent amount of playing time until Dwight Howard (back) is able to return. However, it's likely Markieff […]

Washington Wizards power forward Markieff Morris finished with 13 points, seven rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist in Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings across 37 minutes. He was a very effective 6-for-10 from the field, although he struggled at the free-throw line missing both of his attempts. He did get whistled for […]

Luc Mbah a Moute Sidelined For Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) missed Friday's game against the Houston Rockets due to a sore knee. His absence, and the struggles of Marcin Gortat, meant Montrezl Harrell was able to play as many minutes as he could handle and he excelled. For now, consider Mbah a Moute day to day. […]

Carmelo Anthony Makes First Start With Rockets

Houston Rockets small forward Carmelo Anthony made his first start of the season in Friday's 133-113 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. He stepped up his game with a season-high 24 points, hitting 8-for-18 from the field, including 6-for-10 from behind the 3-point line. He added two rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal while […]

Marcin Gortat Has Ugly Scoreless Performance

Los Angeles Clippers center Marcin Gortat went scoreless across 16 minutes with six rebounds, an assist and three turnovers in Friday's 133-113 win against the Houston Rockets. Gortat was given the quick hook, as he didn't take very good care of the basketball. Montrezl Harrell and Mike Scott absorbed the available minutes in the frontcourt […]

Danilo Gallinari Has Another Solid Shooting Night

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Danilo Gallinari finished Friday's 133-113 win against the Houston Rockets with 16 points across 21 minutes.

He also chipped in with five rebounds, an assist […]

Nene Hilario Out Until At Least Mid-November

Houston Rockets center Nene Hilario (calf) will be sidelined at least two more weeks before he is re-evaluated. He still hasn't made his regular season debut, and apparently he suffered some sort of a setback in his recovery. With Nene on the shelf, the Rockets have had to soldier on without a true backup center […]

James Ennis Nursing Hamstring Strain

Houston Rockets swingman James Ennis (hamstring) will miss at least one more game after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He missed Friday's game with the Los Angeles Clippers, and he will be sidelined at least through the weekend before he is re-evaluated. For those in deeper weekly fantasy leagues, you'll probably want […]

Lou Williams Bounces Back In A Big Way

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams posted 23 points across 26 minutes off the bench in Friday's 133-113 win against the Houston Rockets. He was a very efficient 7-for-9 from the field, including 3-for-4 from behind the three-point, while going 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. He also chipped in with three assists and a […]

Montrezl Harrell Hangs Career-High 30 Points On Former Team

Los Angeles Clippers power forward Montrezl Harrell scored a career-high 30 points across just 28 minutes off the bench in Friday's 133-113 road win against the Houston Rockets, his former team.

Iman Shumpert Remains Questionable on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sat out on Wednesday after being listed as questionable for that contest as well. Justin Jackson could be looking at a bigger role in the rotation without Shumpert around. However, owners will likely have to wait until closer to […]
