Darius Garland With Big Showing Against Sixers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland scored 25 points on 9-for-24 shooting in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He added in nine assists as well while shooting 2-for-5 from three.

Donovan Mitchell Bounces Back From Beyond The Arc

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell enjoyed a bounce-back performance from three-point range in a 124-109 win over the Magic. After shooting 4-for-16 from deep in his last two games, Mitchell drained 5 of 8 three-point attempts en route to scoring a team-high 31 points, rounding out his line with six assists and four boards. The […]

Nikola Vucevic Pours In 34 Points With Full Line

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic put together a well-rounded line in a loss to Utah on Saturday. Vucevic scored a game-high 34 points with eight rebounds, five triples, four assists, one block, and a steal in 35 minutes. He had just one turnover- and the five treys were the second-most he's had in a game […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Has 23-11-5 Line Versus Wizards

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns eased his way to a 23-11-5 line in Saturday's loss to Washington, shooting 7-for-19 from the field and 7-for-9 at the charity stipe, while adding three blocks. The shooting was a disappointment, but KAT can correct it quickly in Sunday's battle with Deandre Ayton and the Suns. It's an uncomfortable […]

Russell Westbrook Cruises To Another Triple-Double

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook notched an NBA-leading 10th triple-double of the season in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves, going for 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists with two steals and five turnovers in 32 minutes. However, his shooting was poor, as he went 7-for-19 from the field and 5-for-10 at the charity […]

Bradley Beal Scores 34 Points In Saturday's Win

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had 34 points on 12-for-23 shooting in Saturday's win over Minnesota, adding eight rebounds, six assists, and one steal with three turnovers in 30 minutes. Beal went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and a perfect 8-for-8 at the line. Scoring just comes super easy for the 27-year-old and he's set […]

Jrue Holiday Likely To Return Against Clippers Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (health and safety protocols) is likely to play on Sunday against the Clippers. Holiday has missed the previous 10 games while being in the league's health and safety protocols. The veteran guard practiced on Saturday and has reportedly been ramping up his conditioning, though it may take him a bit […]

Devonte' Graham To Miss Another Game Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) will miss his fifth straight game with soreness in his left knee. Graham's absence has resulted in more usage for Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball, who have both played great basketball in February. Rozier and Ball make for good DFS plays against the Kings' awful defense on Sunday night. […]

Gordon Hayward Probable, Cody Zeller Questionable For Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been listed as probable, while center Cody Zeller (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings. Hayward has been dealing with a bruise on his hand, though it has yet to cost him any games. Having scored 20-plus points in two of his last […]

Jeff Green Returns Saturday, Starting Against Dallas

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (shoulder) will be back on the court as a starter against Dallas on Saturday after missing the last two contests with a shoulder bruise. Green may have to do more as a scorer with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Kevin Durant (hamstring) already out. The veteran forward has had some good […]

Mike Conley Will Return Monday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) will play on Monday against the Pelicans. Conley was ruled out for Saturday's game, as it was the second half of a back-to-back. The veteran guard has been effective in four contests since returning from a hamstring injury that cost him a chunk of February games, as he's averaged […]

J.J. Redick Won't Play Against Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (hamstring) won't suit up on Saturday against the Spurs. There wasn't much revealed about how he suffered the injury, though the team downgrading him from questionable to doubtful was a telling sign. In Redick's absence, guard Josh Hart should see an uptick in minutes. Hart has been productive this […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out Against Knicks

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest with New York. Brogdon was clearly bothered by his sore knee in his last outing- and the team is likely erring on the side of caution with the All-Star break coming up. T.J. McConnell will get the start in place of Brogdon. […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Take The Court Against The Nets

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will be available against the Nets on Saturday night. Porzingis missed three games with back stiffness- and has already been sidelined for nine other games after taking some time to recover from offseason knee surgery. The Latvian big man doesn't have a minutes restriction, but head coach Rick Carlisle […]

Kyrie Irving Expected To Return Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the Spurs. Irving was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, though head coach Steve Nash told reporters that it's not anything serious- and more of a maintenance thing. The cautious approach makes sense for Brooklyn, considering they're […]

Grayson Allen Out For Sunday Against Rockets

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston. Allen took a hit to the head during Friday's game- and was being evaluated by the team's medical staff. He's currently in the league's concussion protocol. Per-36 minute darling De'Anthony Melton is coming off a 16-point game and should be […]

Bam Adebayo Probable, Tyler Herro Questionable For Sunday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) has been listed as probable, while guard Tyler Herro (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Hawks. Adebayo has been dealing with knee tendinitis, or jumper's knee, though he's racked up four double-doubles and a triple-double in his last five games ahead of a battle […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Sunday's Game Against The Wizards

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards. Brown continues to deal with knee tendonitis, though his workload has been about the same over the last several games. In fact, Brown has played at least 34 minutes in six of his last seven games- while scoring […]

Furkan Korkmaz Enters The Starting Five

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz is in the starting five for Saturday's game against Cleveland. Korkmaz could see extra run with Tobias Harris (knee) out after leaving Thursday's game with a knee contusion. Korkmaz is just a game removed from a 19-point, five-triple performance against the Raptors, though he's been up-and-down this year. Still, Cleveland […]

Cedi Osman Ruled Out Against Sixers

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is out for Saturday's contest with the 76ers. This was expected, as things weren't looking so good for his status as of Friday. Forward Dean Wade, guard Dylan Windler, and forward Lamar Stevens could all see more minutes. Windler went 4-for-4 from beyond the arc in Wednesday's game and […]

Elfrid Payton Ruled Out For Saturday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers. The Knicks have taken the cautious approach with Payton, as he was listed as a game-time call ahead of Thursday's game as well- which he also missed. Derrick Rose will get another start for New York against a […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Will Play Against Pelicans On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge (wrist) will take the court on Saturday against the Pelicans. Aldridge returned on Wednesday against the Thunder but shot just 3 of 11 in 26 minutes. With San Antonio already down two frontcourt options in Keldon Johnson and Rudy Gay (health and safety protocols), Aldridge should be in line […]

Cam Reddish Doubtful Against Miami

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Miami. Reddish has missed the last three games with Achilles soreness- and is probably not going to suit up with the All-Star break right around the corner. Tony Snell, who has started in Reddish's absence, has made at least three triples in three […]

Danilo Gallinari Probable, Trae Young Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (forearm) is listed as probable, while guard Trae Young (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat. It's unclear when Gallinari suffered the ailment, though it probably didn't hinder him much, considering that he broke the franchise record for threes in a game. Young's injury seems a […]

Davis Bertans To Be Available Against Timberwolves

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) will make his return to the court after missing Thursday's game due to right knee soreness. Bertans is averaging 11.0 points per game while draining 2.8 treys a night, though he's played less than 30 minutes in each of his last two games. The team could ease him back […]
