Gordon Hayward Scores 25 Points With Four Steals

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward bounced back after a couple of shaky games to start the second half of the season. Hayward poured in 25 points with eight boards, four assists, four steals, and two triples in a win over the Kings. The 30-year-old shot just 26.7 percent in his first game after the All-Star […]

Richaun Holmes Records Double-Double With Full Line

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes scored 17 points with 15 rebounds, six assists, four blocks, and two steals in a 122-116 loss to the Hornets. Holmes has now double-doubled in each of his last four games and has recorded at least a block in six straight contests. His six assists tied a season-high, as the […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 12

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Davis Bertans And Raul Neto Cleared To Play Monday

Washington Wizards forward/center Davis Bertans (calf) and guard Raul Neto (rib) will both play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Bertans and Neto were game-time decisions, but felt good enough to play after going through their pregame routines. Neto will remain in the backup point guard role while Bertans will remain the stretch four off […]

Clint Capela Listed As Questionable Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (heel) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Houston Rockets. Capela has been dealing with some heel pain lately, but the good news is this is not the same foot that gave Capela problems last season. Capela has missed two games due to the ailment, but both were the second […]

Justise Winslow Resting Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Justise Winslow (rest) will not play Monday against the Phoenix Suns. Winslow is sitting out the second end of a back-to-back as the Grizzlies are taking a cautious approach with the former Duke Blue Devil. Winslow's absence could lead to Grayson Allen being back into the rotation. Dillon Brooks, De'Anthony Melton and […]

Danuel House Jr. Upgraded To Questionable Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) is now questionable Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. House has missed the last four games with a knee contusion so the questionable tag is a it promising. With House on the sidelines, Sterling Brown has been starting, but it has been Kenyon Martin Jr. breaking out off the […]

John Wall Expected Back Soon

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) is out Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks but is expected back "soon." Wall will miss his fourth straight game as he deals with soreness in his left knee. The Rockets expect him back soon, but that could mean anything from a couple games to a couple weeks. Wall […]

Christian Wood Upgraded To Doubtful Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Christian Wood (ankle) has been upgraded to doubtful Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Not the best news, but this is a start as it has been six weeks since Wood has been listed something other than "out" on the injury report. The Rockets have been saying Wood is nearing a return and […]

Jusuf Nurkic Should Return In Two Weeks

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) is expected to get back on the court within the next two weeks. He likely would've returned sooner, but suffered a setback due to a calf issue. He should slide right back into the starting five once he's ready to play. Fantasy managers will just need to be […]

Celtics Open To Trading Tristan Thompson

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson could be on the move with the deadline quickly approaching. The organization has made it clear that Thompson is available for trade with Robert Williams having a breakout campaign. Both Williams and Daniel Theis would see increased value, assuming the Celtics can find a trade partner. Thompson has found difficultly […]

DeMar DeRozan Remains Out On Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He remains away from the team following the death of his father. The organization believes DeRozan will return at some point during the road trip, but obviously aren't going to rush him. Derrick White has been removed […]

Cam Reddish Sidelined At Least Four Weeks

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is set to miss at least four weeks, but he could be out as long as six weeks. He underwent a non-surgical procedure last week to address his Achilles soreness. This is a tough blow to the second-year forward, but he was really struggling this season. Honestly, Reddish's poor […]

Kevin Durant Could Miss Two More Weeks

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is expected to miss one or two more weeks. He continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue and the team will have him undergo another scan this week. The hope is that Durant is back before the end of March, but he'll likely be eased back into the […]

Aaron Gordon Available For Trade

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon is reportedly available on the trade market as the deadline approaches. It sounds like the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves have already shown interest in Gordon. He's owed $18 million this season, but it declines to $16 million next season, which is the final year of his deal. Gordon has plenty […]

Pistons Want To Trade Wayne Ellington

Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington could be on the move sooner rather than later. The organization is reportedly seeking a second-round pick in exchange for the veteran shooter. The 33-year-old is averaging 10.6 points and a career-high 44 percent shooting percentage on the year. The recent acquisition of Hamidou Diallo makes a veteran like Ellington […]

Gorgui Dieng Could Be On The Move

Memphis Grizzlies center Gorgui Dieng is reportedly available in trade discussions as the deadline approaches. Dieng is on an expiring one year deal worth $17.2 million, so there is always a chance of a buyout happening. The Grizzlies hardly ever use Dieng in their rotation, so they'd likely take the best available offer. Dieng has […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: De'Anthony Melton really isn't playing much more this season than he did in his previous two NBA campaigns, but his time on the floor is being used much more efficiently. In 20.5 minutes per game, Melton has averaged a career-best 10.0 points, with […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Pistons have done plenty of tinkering with the rotation and roster this season, and Isaiah Stewart is increasingly benefitting from those adjustments.

Kevin Love Doubtful To Return Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (calf) is doubtful to return Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. Love did not feel right after a couple trips down the floor, leading to a trip to the locker room Sunday.
