Nikola Jokic Scores 35 Points In Loss To Bucks

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 35 points on 13-for-26 shooting in Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In addition, he grabbed 12 rebounds and dished it six assists. He was 3-for-6 from deep. He'll play the Cavaliers on Wednesday, who allow opponents to grab the 18th-most rebounds in the NBA while scoring just the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Scores 30 Points In Win Over Denver

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points on 11-for-23 shooting in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He shot 2-for-5 from three. In addition, Antetokounmpo grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots. He failed to record an assist for the first time all season. On Wednesday, he'll face the Suns, who allow the fourth-fewest […]

Khris Middleton Scores 29 Points Despite Making No Threes

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton scored 29 points on 9-for-16 shooting in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. In addition, he grabbed eight rebounds and dished out 12 assists with Jrue Holiday (health and safety protocols) out. Middleton struggled from three, going 0-for-5 from deep and also posted three steals. He'll face the Suns on […]

Deandre Ayton Grabs 16 Rebounds

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton scored 15 points on 7-for-11 shooting in Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed 16 rebounds -- eight on the offensive end -- and blocked three shots. Ayton also posted two assists. He'll play the Bucks on Wednesday, who allow opponents to grab the sixth-fewest rebounds in […]

Devin Booker With 36 Points In Win Over Cavs

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker scored 36 points on 14-for-27 shooting in Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed five rebounds and dished out eight assists. Booker was 5-for-9 from three and turned the ball over four times. He'll face the Bucks on Wednesday, who allow opponents to shoot the eighth-highest percentage […]

Jarrett Allen Scores 14 Points In Start

With Larry Nance Jr. (finger) out for the next six weeks, the Cleveland Cavaliers went with two centers in the starting lineup on Monday against Phoenix. One of those players was Jarrett Allen, who played 34 minutes and scored 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting. He added five rebounds, one assist, and a block. Playing beside […]

Victor Oladipo Struggles From The Field In Loss

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo's struggles from the field continued in a blowout loss to the Hornets on Monday. Oladipo did produce a nice 21-7-6 line with three triples and a steal, though it came on just 38.9 percent shooting from the field, his fourth straight game being held under his season shooting average. It's […]

Miles Bridges Notches Second Straight Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges scored 19 points with 10 boards and two triples in a 119-94 win over the Rockets. Bridges enjoyed his second-highest scoring night of the season while recording his second consecutive double-double. While he hasn't offered much statistically as a defender, the 22-year-old has been a nice contributor in the point, […]

LaMelo Ball Drills Career-High Seven Threes

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was on fire from beyond the arc during Monday's blowout win over the Rockets, as he drilled a career-high seven threes. Ball shot just 38.9 percent from the field, though he added 10 assists and seven rebounds in 32 minutes. The 19-year-old has looked good in the five contests since […]

Jrue Holiday Ruled Out Against Nuggets

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday officially won't play on Monday against the Nuggets. With news coming out that Bryn Forbes would be starting in Holiday's place, it was expected that meant Holiday would be inactive. While there hasn't been word if Holiday is out for rest or for something else, him being such a late […]

Cameron Payne Out Monday Against Cavs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) didn't play against the Cavaliers on Monday night due to a foot sprain. Payne is averaging 17.5 minutes per game this season with 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, so this isn't huge news outside of deep leagues. But keep an eye on Payne's availability moving […]

Bryn Forbes Starting For Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes is starting in place of Jrue Holiday on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. There's been no word yet on why Holiday isn't starting, though he may just be resting. Forbes has 18 points last time out and has seen his scoring inch up lately, so he's an appealing DFS […]

Jamal Murray Will Play Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) will play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Murray didn't play last game against the Kings, which led to an expanded role for Monte Morris and Markus Howard. With Murray back in the lineup, Morris loses a lot of his value. Meanwhile, it's a tough matchup for Murray, but he's […]

Kyle Lowry Won't Return After Leaving With Back Spasms

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry left Monday's game against the Grizzlies with back spasms and will not return. Lowry had four points in eight minutes of action. With Lowry out, expect to see more of Fred Vanvleet running the offense, with more minutes at guard for Terrance Davis. If Lowry misses time, VanVleet would […]

Facundo Campazzo Available To Play Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 29-year-old rookie missed the team's last game against the Lakes, but when healthy usually plays between 10 and 15 minutes. His production hasn't been great, as before he scored 11 points in 19 minutes against Utah he had totaled […]

E'Twaun Moore Starting For Chris Paul

The Phoenix Suns will start guard E'Twaun Moore at guard on Monday with Chris Paul (hamstring) out. Phoenix will be shorthanded in this game against the Cavaliers, leaving Moore to play an expanded role. In nine games, he's averaging 14.8 minutes per contest and shooting just 34 percent from the floor and 15.4 percent from […]

Alex Caruso Out Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Caruso has played 24 or more minutes in two of the last three games. This should be a chance for Talen Horton-Tucker to see an increase in minutes, making him an intriguing DFS sleeper option against a Thunder […]

Larry Nance Jr. Has Surgery On Finger

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (finger) underwent surgery on Monday and is expected to miss approximately six weeks. Cleveland decided to start center Jarrett Allen in Nance's place on Monday night, but there's no guarantee that Allen's spot in the starting five is permanent. Cedi Osman is third on the Cavs in points during […]

Al-Farouq Aminu Is Off The Injury Report

Orlando Magic forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) is officially off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Portland. While it looks like Aminu will be able to make his season debut, we'd expect to see the Magic bring him along slowly. Once he's back in the rotation, the defensive-minded Aminu would take minutes away from […]

Nassir Little Ruled Out For Tuesday Against Magic

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (knee) won't play against the Magic on Tuesday. Little last played on Feb. 1. Expect to see more of Rodney Hood and Carmelo Anthony, though both players struggled in Portland's last game, so Hood getting 30 minutes and Anthony playing a key role off the bench doesn't necessarily mean […]

Jarrett Allen Starting For Injured Larry Nance Jr.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is starting Monday against the Suns with Larry Nance Jr. (finger) sidelined for approximately six weeks. It appears the Cavs are going with a two-center lineup with Allen starting alongside Andre Drummond. It's a strange lineup since neither player is much of a shooter, so it's hard to know at […]

Damian Lillard Set To Suit Up For Tuesday’s Game

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) will play in Tuesday's contest versus Orlando despite having missed practice Monday. Lillard missed his first game of the year due to an abdominal ailment last week, but he returned to log 29 points and nine assists in 38 minutes Saturday. While his upside will be capped […]

Eric Paschall Cleared To Suit Up Monday

Golden State Warriors power forward Eric Paschall (knee) will return to the mix for Monday's contest versus the Spurs. Paschall's absence has been stemmed at two games due to knee soreness, with his return giving the team much-needed frontcourt reinforcement in the wake of back-to-back games with Draymond Green and Juan Toscano-Anderson serving as the […]

D'Angelo Russell Receives Green Light To Suit Up Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) has been cleared to play in Monday's game versus Dallas despite having been questionable throughout the day due to a right quad contusion. Russell has dealt with the injury on and off for the past three weeks, but he appears healthy enough to take the floor with no […]

Desmond Bane Makes First Career Start Monday

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard/small forward Desmond Bane will enter the starting five for the first time in his career Monday. Bane earns the elevation after having averaged 9.7 PPG off the bench across his first 18 professional appearances, proving to be an elite-level marksman, knocking down threes at a 48.6 percent clip. Bane's spot among […]

Derrick White Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Golden State even before Monday's contest. Head coach Gregg Popovich noted Monday that White has not yet been cleared to play in both legs of back-to-backs as he works his way into the mix after toe surgery. White has […]

Mike Conley Will Miss Second Straight Contest Tuesday

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics due to hamstring tightness. Joe Ingles entered the starting five in place of Conley on Sunday, a role that he is likely to reprise, therefore making him an appealing DFS selection. When starting this season, Ingles is averaging […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) will miss Monday's contest against Cleveland due a sore right hamstring. Paul's absence will be his first of the year, paving the way for Devin Booker to see increased ball-handling duties, thereby raising his DFS upside. With Cameron Payne (foot) also unavailable, fantasy managers can look to Jevon […]

Lonnie Walker IV Will Return For Tuesday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has been given the green light to rejoin the team for Tuesday's contest against the Warriors, although he's likely to face a minutes restriction, per head coach Gregg Popovich. Battling a stomach bug that has cost him two contests, Walker has ceded way in the […]
