E'Twaun Moore Scores 21 Points Against Rockets

Elfrid Payton Has Triple-Double In Pelicans Debut

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton scored 10 points on 5-for-13 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds and 10 assists in Wednesday's win over the Houston Rockets. Payton's passing ability is going to lead to a lot of double-digit assist nights with this Pelicans team, and while he won't be putting up 10 […]

Jrue Holiday Struggles From Three Against Houston

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday scored 10 points on 5-for-12 shooting on Wednesday against the Rockets, but he missed all six of his three-point attempts. Holiday also added eight assists.

Anthony Davis Has Huge Night Against Rockets

New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis was the first overall pick in many fantasy drafts this year, and Wednesday's victory over the Rockets reminded owners why they chose the Brow with that pick. Davis scored 32 points on 13-for-21 shooting while also grabbing 16 rebounds and adding in eight assists. The Pelicans play the Kings […]

Nikola Mirotic Scores 30 Points In Season Opener

Ish Smith Scores 11 Points Off The Bench

Detroit Pistons point guard Ish Smith scored 11 points in 29 minutes of action against the Nets on Wednesday, going 5-for-11 from the field and adding in three assists. Despite playing nearly 30 minutes, Smith isn't a hugely intriguing fantasy player unless he can start to offer more production across the board. He'll look to […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Barely Contributes In First Start

With both Detroit Pistons Reggie Bullock and Stanley Johnson unavailable on Wednesday, the team inserted rookie Bruce Brown Jr. into their starting lineup.

Blake Griffin Leads Detroit In Scoring In Opener

Detroit Pistons power forward Blake Griffin scored a team-high 26 points on 8-for-17 shooting while also adding in eight rebounds and six assists. Detroit will likely run the offense through the former Clippers star a good amount this season, so expect strong assist numbers to continue for Griffin. When Detroit meets Chicago on Saturday, expect […]

Andre Drummond Grabs 20 Rebounds

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond pulled down 20 rebounds in Wednesday's season-opening victory over the Brooklyn Nets, including nine offensive boards. Drummond also added 24 points on 10-for-21 shooting. Drummond was 1-for-3 from downtown after having attempted just 30 threes through his first six NBA seasons. That development is worth paying attention to as the […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Shoots Well Against Pistons

He also added six assists, four rebounds, and a steal. Dinwiddie played 32 minutes for the Nets and finished as a plus-six overall. He'll continue to serve as the team's top backup […]

D'Angelo Russell Ineffective Against Detroit

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell only managed to score eight points on 3-for-9 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons, with the former Laker making just one of his four attempts from three. Russell added five assists and a pair of rebounds, but his 25 minutes ranked just sixth on the team. Russell will […]

Jared Dudley Struggles In Season Opener

Due to injuries, the Brooklyn Nets were forced to start veteran forward Jared Dudley in the team's season-opening loss to the Pistons. Dudley could see plenty of run in the short term on this team, but Wednesday's performance doesn't suggest that he's worth any fantasy consideration after he finished with just one point while shooting […]

Jarrett Allen Records Double-Double Against Detroit

The second-year big man scored 17 points on 6-for-10 shooting while also adding in 10 rebounds and four blocked shots.

Myles Turner Hosts A Block Party Against Grizzlies

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner was a defensive anchor Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Turner blocked four shots while also contributing eight points and eight rebounds in just 20 minutes. The Pacers dominated Memphis in this one allowing Turner to get more rest throughout the game, thus limiting him to just 20 minutes. Although […]

Victor Oladipo Solid In Season Opener

Oladipo finished with 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting, five assists, and five rebounds in 26 minutes.

Bojan Bogdanovic Scores Game-High 19 Points Wednesday

Indiana Pacers small forward Bojan Bogdanovic shot the lights out Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bogdanovic lead all players with 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting while also contributing six rebounds in 27 minutes. Bogdanovic is a sharpshooter from outside as evident by his 3-for-3 three-point shooting Wednesday, but he won't contribute much else on […]

Domantas Sabonis Posts Big Double-Double In Opener

Indiana Pacers center Domantas Sabonis looked great off the bench in Wednesday night's blowout win against the Memphis Grizzlies. Sabonis posted 14 points and 15 rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench. Sabonis got more run due to the nature of the blowout, but he has shown he can put up numbers in limited minutes. […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Looks Promising In Debut

Memphis Grizzlies rookie power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. showed his potential Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson posted an all-around stat line of 10 points, six rebounds, three steals, and a block in 25 minutes off the bench. Jackson also impressively went 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

Mike Conley Struggles With Shot Against Pacers

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley could not get his shot to fall Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Conley went 3-for-11 from the field for 11 points in 29 minutes.

Kyle Anderson Plays Only 19 Minutes Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Kyle Anderson did not see much action Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Anderson finished with just five points on 2-for-6 shooting and two rebounds.

Jahlil Okafor Available To Play In Opener

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) is available Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets.

Delon Wright Will Not Play Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright (groin) will miss the season opener Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wright missed the preseason finale due to an adductor strain and has not recovered in time for the regular season's opener. In Wright's absence, Fred Vanvleet will get the biggest boost in value. Look for Wright to continue […]

Justise Winslow and Wayne Ellington Out

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) and Wayne Ellington (ankle) have been downgraded to out Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic. Both Winslow and Ellington came into the night listed as doubtful, so this should be of no surprise.

Stanley Johnson Out, Reggie Bullock A Game-Time Decision

The Detroit Pistons will be without guard/forward Stanley Johnson (toe) and possibly guard Reggie Bullock (illness) Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets.

Check back before tip-off for […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Ruled Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) has been ruled out Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons.
