Dennis Schroder Struggles in Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks guard Dennis Schroder couldn't get it going against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Though he scored 20 points, he struggled shooting the ball, going 7-for-17 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep. He did manage to dish out five assists but had ball-control issues, turning it over five times in the narrow […]

Kristaps Porzingis Struggles With Shot on Tuesday

New York Knicks power forward Kristaps Porzingis had a tough night from the field against the Spurs, scoring 13 points on a poor 5-for-19 shooting. Porzingis was one rebound shy of a double-double with nine on the night and also protected the rim with two blocks in his 35 minutes. He also was having trouble […]

Enes Kanter Puts Up a Super Efficient 12 Points in Loss

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter was a little quiet on Tuesday but played well all the same, scoring 12 points on 6-for-7 shooting in only 17 minutes on the floor. Kanter was decent on the glass and went home with six boards on the night but owners really would like to see more from […]

Courtney Lee Plays Better on Tuesday, Still Struggles With Shot

New York Knicks shooting guard Courtney Lee had a complete game against the Spurs, making two triples on his way to 13 points on a poor 5-for-15 shooting. The good news is Lee was active in all other areas on Tuesday, collecting both five assists and five rebounds in his team-high 36 minutes. He was […]

Lance Thomas Scores 13 Points Against San Antonio

New York Knicks forward Lance Thomas had a decent showing on Tuesday as the Knicks hosted the Spurs at Madison Square Garden, scoring 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting, including three makes from deep. Thomas didn't do a whole lot else in this one (two points and two rebounds), so there's no reason to get excited. […]

Jarrett Jack Plays Well Again on Tuesday

New York Knicks point guard Jarrett Jack got it going on Tuesday, as rookie guard Frank Ntilikina looked overly tentative early in the game. Jack made the most of his opportunity with 10 points on some lackluster shooting (3-for-10). The veteran made an impact elsewhere, however, dishing out five assists and pulling down four boards […]

Michael Beasley Just Misses Double-Double Against Spurs

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley scored a team-high 18 points off the bench on Tuesday, shooting a nice 7-for-13 from the field with one triple in the loss. Beasley had a nice game all around, rebounding the ball very well, coming down with nine in total. He played pretty good defense as well, making […]

C.J. McCollum Has An Average Performance

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum produced numbers extremely similar to the numbers being averaged all season Tuesday night. McCollum scored 19 points on 8-for-17 shooting, with three of those made shots coming from downtown. McCollum also pulled down five boards and dished out four assists as well in the game. McCollum for the […]

Damian Lillard Returns From Injury

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard may have missed the previous five games due to injury, but he had a solid game back Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lillard scored 25 points, shooting 8-for-15 from the floor, with six of those made shots coming from three-point range. Lillard also chipped in with six assists […]

Jusuf Nurkic Has A Solid Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic had a very solid scoring game Tuesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nurkic scored 23 points, going 10-for-12 from the field. Nurkic also chipped in with seven boards and four assists to round out the game. This was Nurkic's best shooting performance of the season and far higher than […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Solid Against Knicks

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge had a solid night Tuesday against the New York Knicks, scoring 29 points on 10-for-23 shooting to go along with six boards, two assists, a steal and a block. Aldridge took 23 shots alongside forward Kawhi Leonard's 20 and was a major part of the Spurs game plan. Aldridge […]

Kawhi Leonard Cracks 30 Minutes, Posts Big Line

For the first time this season, San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard eclipsed the 30-minute barrier and posted a classic Leonard line Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. Leonard scored 25 points to go with eight boards, four assists, three three-pointers and four steals, a friendly reminder to everyone that he's a top-10 asset. […]

Austin Rivers Will Sit Out Again

Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers (Achilles) has been officially ruled out of Tuesday night's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Rivers has been battling a sore Achilles and will undergo another exam, according to head coach Doc Rivers. In his absence, the Clippers will start rookie guard C.J. Williams while guards Milos Teodosic and Lou […]

Kevin Love Good To Go Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (illness) confirmed he will play Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Love missed the morning shootaround with an illness and was listed as questionable to play Tuesday, but will not miss any time. It will be interesting to see how Love coexists with point guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) making […]

Ron Baker Ruled Out on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Ron Baker (eye) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Baker suffered the injury when trying to contest a dunk by Anthony Davis in Saturday's victory over the Pelicans. He'll be fitted for a mask, and he's considered day-to-day. Clint Capela only missed two games with […]

Draymond Green Questionable for Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Green tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's practice and is now considered questionable against the Mavs. Wednesday is the beginning of a back-to-back set, which features the Rockets on Thursday. The Warriors could elect to rest Green against the […]

Frank Mason Expected to Miss One Week

Sacramento Kings point guard Frank Mason III (heel) is expected to miss roughly one week. That means Mason has been ruled out of Tuesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, and could be out longer than one week. The Kings don't have much of a reason to rush Mason back to the court. George Hill and […]

Kawhi Leonard is Probable on Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) is probable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Tuesday's game is the first of a back-to-back set for the Spurs. That means if Leonard does play on Tuesday, he'll likely be sitting out Wednesday's contest against the 76ers. Leonard hasn't been cleared to play in back-to-back […]

De'Aaron Fox is Available on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (quadriceps) is available to play against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. Fox isn't guaranteed to be out there, but he will be available and has a decent chance of getting on the court Tuesday night. Frank Mason III (heel) is out, which makes Sacramento thin at the point guard […]

Joel Embiid is Doubtful for Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The X-rays on Embiid's hand came back negative, but it sounds like his hand has swelled up since Sunday. The Sixers tend to handle Embiid carefully, so it's likely he watches Wednesday's game from the sidelines. If […]

Markelle Fultz in Final Stages of His Return

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz (shoulder) is in the final stages of his return-to-play program. Fultz will ramp up his activities at practice and his conditioning work will increase. The Sixers have not yet announced a timetable, but Fultz is getting close. T.J. McConnell and Jerryd Bayless will lose playing time and value once Fultz […]

Andre Roberson Out At Least Three Games

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Andre Roberson (knee) will not play during the upcoming three-game road trip (Tuesday verus the Lakers, Wednesday versus the Clippers or Sunday versus the Suns). The next chance Roberson will get is next Tuesday against the Blazers. Josh Huestis started on Sunday night but failed to score a single point and […]

Stanley Johnson Doubtful for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) is considered doubtful to play in Wednesday's contest against the Miami Heat. It seems likely that Johnson will be forced out of action for the second consecutive game on Wednesday. Reggie Bullock and Luke Kennard have played well lately, and Avery Bradley (groin) is probable to return against Miami. […]

James Johnson is Questionable on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Johnson has missed three straight games, and six of the last seven Heat contests. He's been upgraded from doubtful to questionable, so that is a good sign heading into Wednesday. The Heat have already ruled out Dion Waiters (ankle) […]

Isaiah Thomas to Make Season Debut on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) will make his long-awaited return on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Don't bother using Thomas in DFS right away, as he's only expected to play eight to 12 minutes on Tuesday. The Cavs will have restrictions on Thomas over the next few weeks. He's not expected to […]

Avery Bradley Probable on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) is probable to play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Bradley has missed seven games with a right groin strain but is on track to return in Wednesday's contest. Reggie Bullock and Luke Kennard have filled in nicely for Bradley but should see their roles reduced. Kennard will take […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. There haven't been any updates on his status since the weekend, and it's not a good sign to be ruled out in advance of Wednesday. Oladipo has now missed four straight games, and he could be looking at […]

Kevin Love is Questionable Against Blazers

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (illness) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Love has been playing fantastic lately, and having him sit out would really hurt the Cavs on Tuesday. Love has scored at least 20 points in each of his last six contests. He's averaging 24.5 points, 9.8 rebounds […]

Kyle Kuzma is Questionable for Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (quadriceps) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Kuzma took another shot to his quad in Monday's loss to Minnesota. This is beginning to be a lingering injury for Kuzma, and it could cause him to rest on Wednesday. The Lakers don't have practice on […]

Eric Gordon Will Start on Wednesday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon will draw the start for James Harden (hamstring) on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. Harden will be re-evaluated in two weeks, so Gordon will likely see plenty of starts in the near future. Both Chris Paul and Gordon are going to see heavy usage the next few weeks, and […]
