In the outing against the Cavs, Allen also had eight rebounds with a steal and a block. This was the second straight game that Allen didn't get double-digit […]

Andrew Wiggins Will Not Play Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Andrew Wiggins (quad) will sit out Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors. Wiggins left his last game with a quad contusion and does not feel good enough to go Wednesday. Josh Okogie will start in the absence of Wiggins and is a cheap DFS play for Wednesday's slate, while Jimmy Butler […]

Derrick Jones Ruled Out Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (foot) will not play Wednesday night against the New York Knicks. Jones was came into the day with a questionable tag, but was downgraded to doubtful then eventually ruled out of the contest. Justise Winslow will make his season debut Wednesday and is the front-runner to take over the starting […]

Garrett Temple is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Garrett Temple (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was called probable, but now it's unclear what his current status is at the moment. Temple has been playing 35.0 minutes per game over the last two contests. Wayne Selden is most likely going to start if Temple is […]

Dillon Brooks Ruled Out on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He did some conditioning and should be back in the lineup soon. JaMychal Green (jaw) and Chandler Parsons (knee) will also be watching from the sideline. Omri Casspi and Wayne Selden should see at least 20 minutes each […]

Klay Thompson is Available Against Wizards

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (ankle) is available to play against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. He was listed as probable and it sounds like he'll be able to suit up for this one. Thompson has not played well to start the season, but it's early. Hopefully he's full healthy and able to get […]

Ben Simmons Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons was not able to practice on Monday and didn't play in Tuesday's game. There is a good chance he's not going to suit up for this contest. Landry Shamet could jump into the starting five again, but he didn't […]

Iman Shumpert is Questionable on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear how Shumpert suffered the injury, but he could take the night off to rest. Yogi Ferrell would likely return to the starting five and Justin Jackson would see extra run as well. Neither player is a […]

Cameron Payne Will Start Against Hornets

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Kris Dunn (knee) is out four-to-six weeks, so it sounds like Payne is going to jump in that role. Payne is expected to split time with Ryan Arcidiacono. Tyler Ulis and Shaquille Harrison could get involved as well. This […]

Jabari Parker is Questionable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He didn't go through shootaround and could sit this one out due to an upper respiratory infection. Bobby Portis would see all the minutes he could handle if Parker does not play. Portis would be an excellent DFS option without […]

Jamal Murray Leads Nuggets In Scoring Against Kings

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored a team-high 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Sacramento Kings. Murray also added four assists and a steal while making three shots from deep. Murray has had some struggles in this young NBA season, including an 0-for-9 shooting night against the Warriors, but he should […]

Gary Harris Efficient In Win Over Kings

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris went 8-for-12 from the field in Tuesday's win over the Sacramento Kings, finishing with 18 points, five assists, and three rebounds. For the season, Harris shooting 50.8 percent from the field despite a 25 percent mark from three. When he starts hitting consistently from deep, he'll be a hugely helpful […]

Alex Len is Starting Against Mavericks

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (elbow) will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Len was listed as probable with an elbow issue on Tuesday. Clearly it's nothing serious because he's in the starting five for this one. However, Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is back in the rotation, so Len is […]

Iman Shumpert Scores In Double Digits Again

Heading into this season, many thought that the Sacramento Kings signing guard Iman Shumpert was nothing more than a depth move, but Shumpert has now started in consecutive games and scored in double figures for the second straight outing as well, finishing with 12 points on 4-for-7 shooting, grabbing two boards, and adding in three […]

Hassan Whiteside Will Play on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (groin) is not listed on the injury report and will play in Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Whiteside sat out of Monday's practice, but was never expected to miss any time. There is no official word that Whiteside is playing, but it's safe to assume he'll be good […]

Andrew Wiggins Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) is still questionable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wiggins felt better after shootaround, but his status still remains uncertain. Wiggins said he was planning to play on Wednesday after exiting early during Monday's contest. This is likely something that is going […]

Delon Wright Will Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) will make his regular season debut on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wright is likely going to be limited in his first game back. It's unclear what kind of role he's going to have once he's fully healthy. Wright could take away playing time from Fred Vanvleet and […]

Dewayne Dedmon Expected to Play 15 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is expected to play around 15 minutes in his season debut on Wednesday. The Hawks are going to ease Dedmon back into things, so Alex Len will remain in the starting five. Len has been inconsistent this season, so Dedmon should begin taking away Len's minutes soon. Dedmon will […]

Harrison Barnes is Hopeful to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) is hopeful that he'll be able to make his season debut against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Barnes has been heading in the right direction lately and should be good to go unless he suffers a setback. Dorian Finney-Smith would head to the bench when Barnes returns. It's unclear […]

Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are doubtful for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Jones missed practice on Monday and was limited on Tuesday. Ellington continues to work his way back from an ankle issue. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Ellington would need to get through a full practice […]

Justise Winslow is Available on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He's been dealing with a lingering hamstring issue for roughly a month. He averaged 7.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists last season. He's most likely going to have his minutes limited during his first game back. Winslow […]

De'Aaron Fox Ineffective Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox played just 21 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, finishing with six points on 2-for-8 shooting. He grabbed a rebound, had an assist, and swiped away a pair of steals. Fox had been off to a good start to the year, but it's concerning to see him play […]

Frank Mason III Scores 14 Points Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings guard Frank Mason III was 6-for-10 from the floor for 14 points in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, adding in a team-high seven assists plus five rebounds and a steal as well. But through four games, Mason's playing time has been impossible to predict, with a DNP against the Thunder, a five-minute showing […]

Reggie Jackson Scores 23 Points Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson continued his strong start to the 2018-2019 season in Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, scoring 23 points on 7-for-14 shooting and adding in three rebounds and three assists. Fantasy owners would like more passing numbers from Jackson, which could come on Thursday against a Cleveland team that's allowed the fifth-most […]

Andre Drummond Ejected In Fourth Quarter

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond picked up his second technical foul and was ejected in the fourth quarter of Detroit's overtime win over the Sixers. Drummond scored 14 points on 6-for-20 shooting and grabbed 16 rebounds. Drummond's ability to grab rebounds against any team makes him a safe fantasy option, but so far his attempt […]

Ish Smith Scores 21 Points Off Bench

Detroit Pistons point guard Ish Smith scored 21 points on 9-for-12 shooting off the bench in Tuesday's overtime win over the 76ers. He made two of his three attempts from deep and added three assists. Smith is taking two more shots per game this year than he has over the past two seasons for the […]

Stanley Johnson Scoreless Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson was scoreless in 19 minutes on Tuesday against Philadelphia, missing all five of his shot attempts while adding in three assists and a rebound. In his fourth NBA season, it doesn't seem like Johnson is taking that next step in his career yet, and he's likely to be an inconsistent […]

Blake Griffin Scores 50 Points

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin was unstoppable in Tuesday's overtime win over the 76ers, scoring 50 points -- including the game-winning free throw -- on 20-for-35 shooting. Griffin was 5-for-10 from deep and also grabbed 14 rebounds and dished out a team-high six assists. Griffin has taken flight this year as the top player on […]
