Kent Bazemore Has a Game to Forget

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kent Bazemore shot an abysmal 3-for-11 from the field and missed all three of his attempts from behind the arc in his team's two-point loss to the Magic.

Carmelo Anthony And Russell Westbrook Out Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony (ankle) and point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) will not play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Thunder […]

Taurean Prince Efficient From the Field

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince had a great shooting night in his team's close loss to the lowly Orlando Magic.

Dennis Schroder Back to His Old Ways

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder wasn't at this best against the Magic on Thursday night. Schroder went 5-for-15 from the field in his team's two-point loss and ended up finishing things out with 19 points, five rebounds, five assists and three turnovers. Schroder will look to find his shot against the new-look Cavaliers on Friday, a […]

Michael Beasley Will Start Thursday

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley will start against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. He started the second half of Tuesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

D.J. Augustin Will Start Against Hawks

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin will draw the start at point guard against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. Elfrid Payton has been traded, so head coach Frank Vogel will promote Augustin. Shelvin Mack should see extended minutes as well, but DJA is the best add here. DJA should be added in all 12-team leagues […]

Jonathon Simmons Will Start on Thursday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) will start against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. He was listed as questionable heading into the contest, but was always expected to play. Simmons dropped a career-high 34 points against the Cavs on Tuesday. Elfrid Payton has been traded, which means Simmons should see plenty of chances with the […]

Noah Vonleh Traded to Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have acquired power forward Noah Vonleh and cash from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for rights to Milovan Rakovic. Rakovic is just 22 years old but has been on three different organizations already. Vonleh did not see much playing time in Portland, so this move can really only increase his value. […]

Nets Acquire Dante Cunningham At Deadline

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal that sends guard/forward Rashad Vaughn to New Orleans in exchange for forward Dante Cunningham. Vaughn has been traded for the second time this week but probably won't see much playing time in New Orleans. He won't see enough time on the court to own him in any […]

Devin Harris Heading to Denver

Guard Devin Harris has been traded to the Denver Nuggets in a three-team trade. Doug McDermott heads to the Mavs while Emmanuel Mudiay joins the Knicks. Harris is a quality veteran guard but won't offer much to the Nuggets roster. Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and Will Barton are all healthy and above Harris on the […]

Luke Babbitt Traded to Heat

The Miami Heat have acquired some depth and perimeter shooting with the acquisition of Luke Babbitt. Power forward Okaro White (foot) heads to the Atlanta Hawks, but he is still recovering from a left foot fracture. Babbitt could see a few extra minutes in Miami but should be left on the waiver wire. Once White […]

James Ennis Traded to Pistons

The Memphis Grizzlies have decided to move guard/forward James Ennis in exchange for Detroit Pistons power forward Brice Johnson and a second-round pick. Ennis should add some depth and length to the Pistons perimeter, but this move does not increase his fantasy value. Johnson will be the third-string power forward behind JaMychal Green and Jarell […]

Elfrid Payton Headed to Phoenix

The Phoenix Suns have acquired point guard Elfrid Payton from the Orlando Magic in exchange for a second-round pick. The Magic have been reportedly looking to dump Payton's salary for quite some time. Payton will likely be starting next to Devin Booker.

Kings Add Iman Shumpert, Joe Johnson At The Deadline

The Sacramento Kings agreed to a three-team trade that sends guard George Hill to the Cavs in exchange for guard/forwards Iman Shumpert and Joe Johnson. According to NBA reporter David Aldridge, the Kings will seek a buyout with Johnson. He was moved from Utah to Sacramento but does not fit in the Kings system. Multiple teams […]

Cavs Acquire George Hill and Rodney Hood

The Cleveland Cavaliers added veteran guard George Hill and guard/forward Rodney Hood in a three-team trade. The Cavs moved guards Iman Shumpert, Derrick Rose and forward Jae Crowder in this deal.

Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder Headed to Utah

Emmanuel Mudiay Is Now A Knick

The New York Knicks have acquired point guard Emmanuel Mudiay from the Denver Nuggets. They send Doug McDermott to Dallas in the deal.

While Mudiay is […]

Doug McDermott Traded To Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks have acquired small forward Doug McDermott from the New York Knicks in a trade that sends Devin Harris to the Nuggets. McDermott will likely back up Harrison Barnes and Dirk Nowitzki as a small forward and stretch power forward. There's potential for McDermott to perform well on a struggling Mavericks team, but he […]

Lakers Acquire Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye

The Los Angeles Lakers have traded Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance to Cleveland for point guard Isaiah Thomas, power forward Channing Frye and a first-round draft pick.

Dwyane Wade Traded To Miami

The Miami Heat have acquired their former star, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miami gave up a protected second-round pick.

Cavaliers Trade For Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have sent Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and their own 2018 first-round pick to the Lakers for guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Larry Nance Jr. Clarkson should provide an immediate impact offensively for the Cavaliers as a scoring threat and represents a possible upgrade over Thomas, whose presence on the court has sunk Cleveland's […]

Pistons Acquire Jameer Nelson

The Detroit Pistons have acquired veteran point guard Jameer Nelson from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for center Willie Reed and a potential pick swap in the second round of the 2022 NBA draft. Nelson will fill a much needed role as the backup point guard for Detroit with Reggie Jackson (ankle) still sidelined. Nelson […]

Pau Gasol Fills the Stat Sheet Off the Bench

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol once again started from the bench Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns but ended up having a good all-around performance with 11 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a steal.

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge ended a run of six consecutive games without a double-double on Wednesday, scoring 23 points with 10-for-14 shooting and grabbing 13 rebounds.
