Andrew Wiggins Scores 21 Points In Sunday's Win

Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins had a solid outing in Sunday's win over the Blazers with 21 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two blocks.

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points on Sunday, converting on 61.5 percent of his shots and adding in two three-pointers. He also had three rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked six shots in Sunday's win over the San Antonio Spurs. While Gobert didn't make a huge impact as a scorer and finished with just seven points on 2-for-7 shooting, his impact in other areas made up for some of that. Gobert is arguably the NBA's […]

Malik Beasley Shines Against Former Team

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley had a classic revenge game against the Nuggets on Sunday, scoring a season-high 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting against the team that traded him 11 months ago.

Jaylen Brown Stays Hot With 31-Point Effort

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown continued his good scoring streak with a 31-point performance on Sunday against Detroit, missing only three of his 16 shots in a 122-120 win. Sadly he had six turnovers and didn't do much else, but another 30-plus point outing was very nice to see. Brown has now shot 60 […]

Jayson Tatum Hits Game-Winner Against Detroit

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum finished with 24 points and scored the game-winner in Sunday's 122-120 victory over the Pistons. He also notched 12 assists, eight rebounds, and two blocks while shooting 10-for-22 from the field and 4-for-8 from outside.

James Wiseman Good To Go Sunday Against Portland

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (ankle) will play and start Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wiseman tweaked his ankle late Friday night in a loss to Portland, but his availability for Sunday was never in doubt. Wiseman will look to bounce back as he is shooting just 32.0 percent from the field over […]

Luka Doncic Will Not Play Versus Chicago

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) has been ruled out Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. Doncic, who was doubtful coming into the contest, must have picked up the injury in the win over the Miami Heat on Friday. However, this is the first leg of a back-to-back and could be a rest day for Doncic. […]

Derrick White Won't Suit Up On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He made his season debut on Friday and played 20 minutes in the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs are likely going to be careful with White and ease him back into action. The team […]

Evan Fournier Held Out Of Sunday's Practice

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) was unable to practice on Sunday, according to head coach Steve Clifford. The veteran guard was held out of Saturday's contest due to back spasms. It appears he is not fully recovered and is listed as questionable on the injury report. Michael Carter-Williams would remain in the starting five, […]

Avery Bradley Unable To Practice On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Avery Bradley (rest) was unavailable for Sunday's practice due to the league's safety and health protocols. This is concerning news since the next game is on Monday for Miami. Despite not practicing, the Heat have not ruled out Bradley for their next contest. Regardless, Bradley doesn't offer consistent fantasy value with Jimmy […]

Maximilian Kleber Probable For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is dealing with a right ankle sprain, but was able to play through the issue on Friday. Kleber has seen a heavier workload lately with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) still sidelined. He played 28 minutes last game and […]

James Ennis Might Play On Monday

Orlando Magic guard James Ennis (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but continues to make progress. Ennis will likely be eased back into the rotation once he's cleared to play.
