Allen Crabbe Goes Off For 29 Points In Win

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe remained red-hot in the Nets victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night.

This is […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Posts Double-Double Thursday

Brooklyn Nets small forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson posted a double-double off the bench and had one of his best games of the season.

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris LeVert was sensational again off the bench Thursday, leading the second unit in scoring and showing a continued knack for playmaking.

Jaylen Brown Leaves Game After Bad Fall

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown was playing well in this one before slipping off the rim and falling hard on his head/neck area. Brown was down for quite some time before eventually being able to get up and leave under his own power. It certainly seems plausible that he will have suffered a concussion, and […]

Jayson Tatum Has a Quiet but Solid Outing in Minnesota

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a decent night against the T-Wolves on Thursday, scoring 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting, making one three-pointer in the game as well.

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was an effective scorer for Philly on Thursday, connecting on four triples in the loss to finish with a tidy 18 points (6-for-11) in the contest. Redick wasn't a one-trick pony in this one either, as he added three rebounds, five assists and one steal to his totals against […]

Robert Covington Can't Make a Shot on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington was a pitiful 0-for-10 from the field against the Heat, finishing with three points after knocking down three of his four free-throw attempts. Covington had a much better night in other categories, however, adding seven rebounds, three assists, four steals and a block to the stat sheet. The brutal field […]

Andre Iguodala is Out on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (wrist) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He suffered the injury on Tuesday when Dante Cunningham pushed Jordan Bell into Iggy. The Warriors have decided to sit Iggy for the first game of the back-to-back set, but the injury does not sound too […]

David West is Doubtful Against Spurs

Golden State Warriors power forward David West (arm) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed Tuesday's game against the Nets, but the injury does not sound too serious. The Warriors may have been just resting West as a precaution. He is only seeing minutes in the teens, so […]

Jordan Bell Ruled Out on Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He sprained his ankle in Tuesday's contest and did not return.

Darren Collison is Questionable for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

He was given a two- to […]

Kyrie Irving Will Play on Thursday

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving (knee) will play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.

Brandan Wright Ruled Out 2-3 Weeks

Houston Rockets center Brandan Wright (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Wright is probably out two to three more weeks. Wright has missed five consecutive games, but D'Antoni said Wright is on the team for "insurance, mostly," so the Rockets will be fine without […]

Ryan Anderson is Doubtful for Friday

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It looks like Anderson is in danger of missing his sixth straight game. Trevor Ariza, Luc Mbah a Moute and P.J. Tucker will continue to fill in and see increased playing time with Anderson sidelined. Ariza offers the most upside […]

Wayne Ellington is Probable Against Sixers

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (thigh) is probable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He's missed four straight games, but went through shootaround and is on track to play Thursday. Owners can pencil Ellington back into your lineups as long as he doesn't suffer a setback in warmups. However, the Heat are healthy […]

Derrick Rose Signs With Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a deal with free-agent point guard Derrick Rose for the remainder of the season.

It was the second straight night with Brooks scoring 20 or more points. The rookie went 10-for-18 from the field and 5-for-9 from three. Brooks doesn't provide much else -- he had just one […]

Jrue Holiday Continues To Make Baskets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday has been a big part of why the Pelicans have survived the loss of DeMarcus Cousins and currently sit fourth in the playoff picture in the West. On Wednesday against the Kings and with Anthony Davis (ankle) out for the fourth quarter, Holiday scored 23 points on 9-for-17 shooting and […]

Anthony Davis To Have MRI On Ankle Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis left Wednesday's win against the Kings in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

Clint Capela Misses Double-Double In Milwaukee

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela had a second consecutive game without a double-double on Wednesday, as he finished with 10 points and eight rebounds against the Bucks. Should fantasy owners be worried? Certainly not. Capela just posted a 17-rebound game less than a week ago and he's simply had uncomfortable matchups with OKC and the […]
