Expect Victor Oladipo To Start A Wild West Shootout Versus Utah
Expect a shootout in Utah favoring Victor Oladipo. Oladipo is averaging 24.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in a career season. He is also in the top 15 overall in player efficiency rating and field goal attempts per game. He will be guarded by Donovan Mitchell, a strong Rookie of the Year […]

Eric Bledsoe Struggles Early Against Washington
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe continues to transition into the Bucks offense, and against the Wizards he struggled to generate much offense early in the game. The Wizards have an athletic back court, and this performance is a direct result of having more contested opportunities than chances at easy baskets. Bledsoe remains one of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Double-Doubles In Win Over Wizards
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was the center of the Milwaukee offense once again and benefitted from poor shooting performances from the rest of the Bucks. Even though Antetokounmpo led the team in points and rebounds, it was a slower night for both teams and there was no real offense until late in the game. […]

James Harden Could Return As Soon As Thursday
Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) could return as soon as Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Harden has been sidelined since injuring himself late in Houston's New Year's Eve game. His return will be huge for the Rockets and for fantasy owners, as Harden is a top […]

Myles Turner Likely Out for Road Trip
Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) is likely looking at four more games on the sidelines. Head coach Nate McMillan said he couldn't guarantee that Turner returns during the Pacers' current road trip. Turner has been ruled out of Tuesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. His next chance to play would be Thursday versus the […]

Avery Bradley Struggles In Loss To Hornets
Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley continues to be a high-volume shooter for the Pistons, but struggled mightily from the field on Monday. He finished with 15 points on 19 shots, so there is much to be desired from Bradley as far as fantasy owners are concerned. Bradley will always have upside because of his consistent […]

Zach LaVine Will Play About 20 Minutes Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will play about 20 minutes in Monday's contest against the Miami Heat. LaVine made his season debut Saturday, scoring 14 points with two assists in 19 minutes. Once again, the Bulls aren't going to let LaVine play in the fourth quarter. Denzel Valentine will lose some minutes and value […]

Reggie Bullock Makes The Most Of His Chances Against Charlotte
Detroit Pistons forward Reggie Bullock was efficient from the field Monday afternoon, but he was also one of few. Except for Anthony Tolliver, the Pistons struggled to generate offense against Charlotte and most of the shot attempts fell to Bullock and other catch-and-shoot specialists. While the rest of the team is struggling, Bullock has transitioned […]

Anthony Tolliver Delivers Against the Hornets
Detroit Pistons forward Anthony Tolliver managed to explode for 17 points through three quarters, an extremely unorthodox performance for the veteran. Not only did he score, but he kept the Pistons within striking distance for most of the game. Tolliver continues to be a streamer option in most leagues, but games like this make him […]

Tobias Harris’ Hot Start Is Cooled Off By Foul Trouble
Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris started off the game by scoring eight of the Pistons first 12 points but was limited due to foul trouble. He didn’t get much run until late in the game, but Harris has still been a top offensive option for the Pistons, and that will not change going forward. He […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out On Monday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Leonard's shoulder seemed fine in Saturday's contest, but now he's being bothered by a quad issue. This quad problem has been a lingering issue since the offseason. Monday's contest against the Hawks should be an easy win […]

Jayson Tatum Probable for Tuesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is probable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. The good news is Tatum's test results came back fine, so it's not a long-term issue. Tatum is dealing with a minor knee tweak and went through most of Monday's practice. He should be able to play on […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out on Monday
New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) will not play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. He scored 25 points with five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 33 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The Knicks will rest THJ on Monday since it's the second game of a back-to-back set. […]

Tyler Zeller Will Start Against Knicks
Brooklyn Nets forward/center Tyler Zeller (hip) will start against the New York Knicks on Monday. He missed Saturday's game with a hip issue, but should be ready to play his normal minutes Monday. Zeller's return will move Quincy Acy back to the bench. The Nets have too many centers and not enough minutes to go […]

Kyle Lowry Will Start on Monday
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (tailbone) will start against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. He's back after a three-game absence and shouldn't be under a minutes limit. Delon Wright will head back to the bench, but he was playing fantastic in the three games without Lowry. Fred VanVleet will lose the most value and […]

E'Twaun Moore Solid on Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore was a solid contributor during the team's overtime win over the New York Knicks. Moore played 45 minutes on Sunday, shooting a precise 4-for-7 from deep and finishing things out with 16 points. Though he was virtually quiet everywhere else, he still contributed enough on the scoring end for […]

Rajon Rondo Irrelevant on Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo didn't contribute much during his team's overtime win over the New York Knicks. Rondo played only 24 minutes, shooting an inaccurate 2-for-7 from the field and 0-for-3 from deep for a total of only four points. He also underperformed from an assists standpoint, totaling only five on the day. […]

Jrue Holiday Plays Well at MSG
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday played well in the win over the New York Knicks on Sunday. Holiday played an inflated 45 minutes as a result of overtime, shooting an accurate 12-for-19 from the field and 3-for-7 from deep for a total of 31 points. He also had five boards, four assists and contributed […]

DeMarcus Cousins Efficient on Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center DeMarcus Cousins struggled offensively but picked it up elsewhere in the overtime win over New York on Sunday. Boogie played 45 minutes but struggled shooting, going 4-for-16 from the floor and 0-for-5 from deep for a total of only 15 points. While inefficient offensively, he made amends by yanking down 16 […]

Anthony Davis Dumps 48 Points on Knicks
News Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis had a solid outing in the 123-118 overtime win over the New York Knicks. While center DeMarcus Cousins struggled offensively, Davis picked up the slack, scoring 48 points on an efficient 17-for-30 from the field, 2-for-6 from deep and 12-for-15 from the stripe. It didn't end there, as he […]

Alex Len Posts Double-Double off the Bench
Phoenix Suns center Alex Len was productive, unlike most of his team, during the loss to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. Despite coming off of the bench, Len produced a double-double, scoring 12 points and pulling down 10 boards in only 19 minutes of action. However, Len remains a hit-or-miss type of player who […]

Dragan Bender Scoreless on Sunday
Phoenix Suns forward Dragan Bender got the start once again for the injured Marquese Chriss (hip) but it didn't make a difference. Bender failed to score a single point in the 120-97 loss to Indiana, shooting a dreadful 0-for-7 from the field and an equally unimpressive 0-for-6 from deep. Though he pulled down five boards, […]

Josh Jackson Scores Career-High 21 Points in Rout
Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson got the start for the injured forward T.J. Warren (back) and took advantage of it in a big way. Jackson scored a career-high 21 points on 7-for-16 from the field and 2-for-6 from deep. He also contributed elsewhere slightly, pulling down six boards and dishing out three assists, but it […]

Tyson Chandler Pulls Down 10,000th Rebound
Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler made history on Sunday night, becoming the 40th player in NBA history to record 10,000 career rebounds. Despite his accomplishment, nothing else would go right for his team as they would get mauled by the Indiana Pacers 120-97. Chandler was his usual ineffective self on the offensive end, scoring only […]

Devin Booker Cold on Sunday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker struggled during Sunday's beating at the hands of Victor Oladipo and the Indiana Pacers. Booker struggled all night, going 5-for-16 from the field and 1-for-6 from deep for a total of 15 points. He managed to dish out seven assists and pull down five boards, but it wasn't enough as […]

Jimmy Butler Has Another Quality Performance
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Jimmy Butler played very well on Sunday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Butler scored 24 points, shooting 7-for-11 from the field, and going 9-for-11 from the charity stripe. To round out the game, Butler had five rebounds and four assists. Butler continues to perform at a high level and in the […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores Efficiently Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins shot the ball extremely well on Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wiggins scored 17 points, shooting 8-for-11 from the floor, in addition to pulling down four rebounds and dishing out two assists. This was a pleasant surprise coming from Wiggins, who had only one game in his […]

C.J. McCollum Plays Adaquetely on Sunday
Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum didn't get stats that he normally accumulates in the Sunday night game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. McCollum scored 18 points, going 7-for-15 from the field, with three of those made shots coming from downtown. This was his first game since Nov. 22 without an assist and was also […]

Damian Lillard Has a Solid Game
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard put up some solid stats on Sunday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lillard scored 21 points, shooting 7-for-14 from the floor, and also going 5-for-6 from the free throw line. Dame's stat line included eight assists and six rebounds as well. Since he came back from briefly appearing […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Doubles Up Again
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns had his league-leading 36th double-double on Sunday as he posted 20 points and 11 rebounds in the 120-103 win over Portland. Towns led the 'Wolves in minutes with just over 36 as his team cruised to the win, which never really felt in doubt during the fourth quarter. Towns has […]
