BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Ingles has been the picture of consistency since rising to prominence with the Utah Jazz, even as those around him have steadily improved.

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier scored 20-plus points for the third straight game in a 107-104 loss to the Hornets.

Hayward added nine rebounds, five treys, an assist, a block, and a steal in 38 minutes.

Serge Ibaka Continues With Great Shooting

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka scored 17 points in 22 minutes against the Thunder on Sunday, missing just once from the field and at the foul line.

Kawhi Leonard Scores 34 Points In Sunday's Win

Trae Young And Clint Capela Ruled Out Sunday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (back) and center Clint Capela (hand) are both ruled out Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Young has been playing through some back tightness, but it looks like it is finally affecting his availability after being a game-time decision on Sunday before being ruled out. Young's absence should leave more […]

Derrick Rose Will Not Play Monday With Knee Soreness

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) is out Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rose missed Saturday's game against Philadelphia, but it was the second half of a back-to-back so it was expected. This, however, suggests Rose is dealing with discomfort in his knee which is a bad sign for someone who has had knee problems […]

Jayson Tatum Out Sunday, Expected To Play On Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he is expected to play on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Tatum has not played since January 8th, but barring any setbacks, he will make his return from quarantine on Monday. Tatum will likely see some sort of minutes restriction […]

Raul Neto Ruled Out Against Spurs

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will not play Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. In the Wizards first game in quite awhile, Neto will be sidelined with a groin injury. In Neto's absence, Russell Westbrook is returning from a quad injury, but will be limited to about 25 minutes on Sunday. Ish Smith […]

Russell Westbrook Will Start Sunday With Minutes Restriction

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (quad) will play and start Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Westbrook has been sidelined for the past week, although the Wizards have not been able to play any games due to health and safety protocols. However, Westbrook is back in the starting lineup on Sunday and will be […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back/hip) will not play Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon is dealing with back and hip soreness, but this is also the first half of a back-to-back set so his absence could be precautionary. With Gordon out, Gary Clark will start at the four, but does not offer much upside […]

Luke Kennard (SG/SF, LAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: After his first two seasons with the Detroit Pistons, Luke Kennard finally started to make good on the high hopes attached to him since he entered the league, and while a considerable chunk of his season saw him parked on the IR, he […]

Myles Turner Shines On Both Ends Of The Court

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner scored a season-high 25 points and swatted away six shots during a nice all-around performance on Sunday against Toronto, adding four rebounds, three steals, and one assist. He shot 4-for-7 from downtown and finished with superb 8-for-12 shooting from the field. Turner has only just come back from a fractured […]

Norman Powell Records Second Consecutive 20-Point Game

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Norman Powell produced his second consecutive 20-point game on Sunday, shooting 7-for-18 from the field in a 107-102 win over the Pacers.

Sekou Doumbouya Impressing The Coaching Staff

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya has been unable to find consistent minutes in the rotation this season.

Head coach Dwane Casey mentioned that he liked what he saw […]

OG Anunoby Leads All Scorers With 30 Points

Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby was feeling it against Indiana on Sunday, shooting 9-for-16 from the field and 4-for-6 from outside during a 30-point performance. He also had eight rebounds, five steals, one assist, and one block in a 107-102 win. Anunoby, who logged a team-high 40 minutes, has shot really well over the […]

P.J. Washington Will Continue Playing Center

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington filled in at center when Cody Zeller (hand) went down early in the season. On Friday, Zeller returned from his broken wrist, but Washington continued seeing minutes at center. Head coach James Borrego mentioned that he is still figuring out the best mix for his bigs. Honestly, Washington's fantasy numbers […]

Clint Capela Could Miss Sunday's Contest

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This would be a shame considering Capela is coming off one of his best games of his career. John Collins would see more time at center and would be asked to do more on offense, assuming Capela sits. […]

De'Andre Hunter Removed From Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been taken off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as questionable heading into this one with right knee soreness. It doesn't sound like he'll be limited, but Cam Reddish would see increased time if Hunter is restricted. Fantasy managers should […]

Aaron Gordon Questionable For Sunday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He played 37 minutes on Friday, so it sounds like he picked up some back soreness along the way. Gordon has been handling the ball more often since Markelle Fultz (knee) went down. He's becoming a fantastic fantasy […]

Marcus Morris Ruled Out Versus Thunder

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully he'll only be sidelined for this game. In the meantime, Patrick Patterson and Nicolas Batum will see more minutes coming their way. Batum is the better […]
