Larry Nance Jr.'s New Role Hurts His Value

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. had a rough start to his Cavaliers career when it comes to fantasy, but he filled a much-needed rebounding role in the Cavaliers second unit. He will get minutes every night and his athleticism fits with the Cavaliers offense. His nightly production will be modest because Nance is more […]

Kyrie Irving Struggles From Deep in Loss to Cavs

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving fell to his former team on Sunday despite the big night for Celtics legend Paul Pierce, as he had his jersey retired. The revamped Cavs lineup shut down a struggling Celtics offense. Irving scored 18 points but shot only 1-for-7 from downtown. He dished five assists but was quiet […]

Rodney Hood Scores 15 Points Against Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rodney Hood scored 15 points in his Cavaliers debut and proved to be the exact security valve the Cavaliers needed off the bench. There’s a chance he could be bumped to the starting lineup, but until then he will be posting modest stat lines that are mainly points. Hood will be given […]

Jordan Clarkson Shines In First Game As Cavalier

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson started his Cavalier career with a bang. He scored 17 points on 11 shots and has claimed the throne as a bench spark plug. He was doing this for the Los Angeles Lakers, and owners will benefit now that he is playing in the East. Clarkson is known for being a […]

George Hill Has Underwhelming Debut

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill scored 12 points in his debut win over the Celtics and left owners hoping for more. Granted, this is a point guard coming to a new team, and he will need a few games to assimilate. Hill is still known for his shooting and defense -- not the best attributes […]

LeBron James Scrapes At Triple-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James neared a triple-double against the Celtics on Sunday in a dominating victory. James finally had his new, youthful acquisitions at his disposal and the Cavaliers looked like a rejuvenated squad, resulting in a beautiful stat line from James. The style of the team has not changed, but his arsenal has […]

Dennis Schroder Continues to Knock Shots Down

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder, who has never been known to shoot efficiently, has strung together two straight games -- and three of the last four -- with a 50 percent or greater field goal percentage. Schroder added 23 points, three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in the Hawks two-point victory over the […]

Dewayne Dedmon Gets Start and Flourishes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon was moved into the starting lineup for the Hawks tilt with the Pistons and performed admirably. Dedmon contributed 20 points, 13 rebounds, an assist, three steals and a block, recording his seventh double-double of the season. Maybe if the Hawks wanted to win, Dedmon would remain the starter, but winning […]

DeMar DeRozan Puts Up a Couple Team Bests in Win

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan led his team to victory on Sunday, scoring a team-best 25 points on 10-for-19 shooting while draining three from downtown against the Hornets. DeRozan was seeing the floor really well in this one, dishing out another team-high eight assists in the win. He added two rebounds, one steal, one […]

Jonas Valanciunas Stays Hot from Beyond the Arc

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas got the last laugh over Dwight Howard on Sunday as he helped his team come away with the win, while putting up some impressive stats of his own. Valanciunas splashed home two threes on his way to 21 points in the blowout victory, going 9-for-14 through four quarters. He was […]

Kyle Lowry Scores 12 Points With Seven Assists in Charlotte

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry had a solid outing in Buzz City on Sunday, scoring 12 points on a decent 4-for-9 shooting, including four three-pointers in his 27 minutes. Lowry also added three rebounds while controlling the offense, connecting with his teammates seven times on assists. To his owners' surprise, Lowry didn't commit any […]

C.J. Miles Blows Up for a Season-High 24 Points Against the Hornets

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles was red-hot from beyond the arc on Sunday, banging home a game-high six triples to score 24 points while shooting a super-efficient 8-for-11 in the contest. Miles filled it up in general in this one, adding one assist, one rebound, two steals and one block in the win. That makes […]

Serge Ibaka Does His Job on Sunday

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka did what the Raptors and owners expect of him in Charlotte: a little bit of points, rebounds and blocks to help his team secure the win. Ibaka didn't connect on any three-point attempts but still managed to put up 10 points on a fine 5-for-8 shooting. He was serviceable […]

Fred VanVleet Keeps his Double-Digit Streak Alive in Charlotte

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet played another important role off the bench for the Raptors on Sunday, scoring 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting, connecting on two of his three attempts from deep. VanVleet continued his stellar play in this one, adding three rebounds, four assists and one steal, while committing two turnovers in the […]

Dewayne Dedmon Will Start on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon will draw the start against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Miles Plumlee is expected to come off the bench behind him. Dedmon has struggled lately, but was playing well in the beginning of the month. The Hawks usually keep his minutes in the low 20s, so his fantasy value is […]

Tyson Chandler Probable on Monday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) is listed as probable to play against the Golden State Warriors on Monday. He has missed two straight games due to neck discomfort, but should be back in the rotation on Monday. The Suns said they have no plans of shutting down Chandler this season. He will battle with […]

Devin Booker Questionable for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's missed three straight games and is in danger of missing his fourth in a row. Josh Jackson and T.J. Warren have seen extended minutes and usage while Booker has been out. Elfrid Payton scored 19 points […]

Nikola Vucevic Ruled Out Monday

Orlando Magic forward/center Nikola Vucevic (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Head coach Frank Vogel said Vuc is day-to-day, but wants to get him in a few more practices before clearing him to play. The Magic have two games before the All-Star break, so it would not be surprising […]

Aaron Gordon is Doubtful on Monday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) is doubtful to play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The Magic only have two games left before the All-Star break, so it would not be surprising to see Gordon sit out both games. The Magic are currently tanking, so they can afford to be cautious with Gordon. Mario […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Expected to Play Sunday

New York Knicks point guard Emmanuel Mudiay is expected to make his Knicks debut against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Head coach Jeff Hornacek said Jarrett Jack's minutes will likely decrease going forward. Even with Jack losing minutes, Mudiay will still have to battle Frank Ntilikina and Trey Burke for playing time. Mudiay's fantasy value […]

J.J. Barea Ruled Out Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (rest) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. It is the second game of a back-to-back set, so it is not surprising to see the Mavs resting Barea. The Mavs are sitting in 13th in the West, so we could see Dallas rest more of their veterans as […]

Enes Kanter Will Play Sunday

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (mouth) will play against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. He missed Thursday's contest, but will officially be back in the lineup on Sunday. Kanter will not have a minutes limit, so owners can plug him back into all your lineups. Kanter will resume his role as the starting center […]

Iman Shumpert Won't Play Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (foot) will not play in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Shumpert is considered out indefinitely with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He was traded to the Kings in a three-team trade at the deadline. Shumpert was not doing much when healthy, so do not expect his value to […]

Wesley Matthews Ruled Out Against Rockets

Dallas Mavericks guard Wesley Matthews (back) won't play on Sunday against Houston. Matthews scored 13 points for Dallas in Saturday's win over the Lakers, but the team is playing it safe and not bringing him down to Houston for Sunday's divisional matchup. With J.J. Barea (rest) also inactive, expect Dennis Smith Jr. to play big […]

Dirk Nowitzki Won't Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) won't play against the Rockets on Sunday. It will be the first game he's missed this season. On Saturday night, Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 22 points in a win over the Lakers, so this may just be a precautionary issue with Dallas having to play in Houston […]

Dwight Powell Has Another Strong Outing Off Bench On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Dwight Powell scored 19 points for Dallas in their 130-123 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. He made eight of his 12 shot attempts and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds to go along with an assist and two steals. With Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) out on Sunday against Houston, […]

Harrison Barnes Has Highly Efficient Night Against Lakers

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes helped lead the Mavericks to a 130-123 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, scoring 21 points on just nine shots -- Barnes made six of them and also went 7-for-7 from the free throw line. Barnes grabbed six rebounds and had a pair of assists as well. […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Has Productive Outing Against Lakers

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. scored 14 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Friday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The rookie also added five rebounds, six assists and a pair of steals. Dallas takes on Houston on Sunday and will be without two guards in their rotation, as Wesley Matthews (back) and J.J. Barea […]

Bradley Beal Takes Back Seat In Win

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had a poor offensive night in the win over the Chicago Bulls Saturday. Beal scored just seven points on 3-for-13 shooting from the field, including 0-for-7 shooting from the three-point line in 35 minutes. Beal also committed four turnovers but contributed six assists, two steals and two rebounds. Beal […]

Tomas Satoransky Continues To Improve

Washington Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky led his team to another win Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls. Sato notched a career-high 25 points on 10-for-12 shooting to go along with six assists, three rebounds and two steals. Since John Wall (knee) went down, Satoransky has been a consistent option for assists and steals. Satoransky […]
