D'Angelo Russell Compiles Game-High 22 Points In Defeat

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell is going to have ample opportunity to score at will without Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) for the foreseeable future, with Tuesday's game-high 22-point performance beginning that ascension. Russell has served as the unquestioned No. 1 scoring option before (Brooklyn, Golden State), and his 9-for-19 shooting effort against the Clippers, including […]

Jarrett Culver Snags 10 Boards Amidst Ice-Cold Shooting

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jarrett Culver tied his career high by grabbing 10 rebounds during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. But while he snagged double-digit boards for the second time in four games to begin 2020-21, he shot 0-for-10 from the field overall, including missing all three triples that he attempted in his 26 minutes. At […]

Lou Williams Shines With Team-High 20 Points Off Bench

Los Angeles Clippers point/shooting guard Lou Williams dropped a team-high 20 points in his traditional bench role during Tuesday's win over Minnesota.

Markelle Fultz Notches First Double-Double Of Year

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz notched his first double-double of the season in a 118-107 win over the Thunder. Fultz shot just 4 of 16 from the field, his worst shooting performance so far- though he impressively had 10 assists and no turnovers, numbers that helped to mask his poor shooting. The former number-one overall […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Best Shooting Performance So Far

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued what looks like a third-year breakout with an efficient 23 points against the Magic. Gilgeous-Alexander added seven rebounds and seven assists- he's compiled at least those numbers in two of three games to start the year. The 22-year-old took a big statistical leap last year, though it's reasonable […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Logs Rare Single-Digit Scoring Outing

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo went for just nine points during Tuesday's victory over Miami, marking his first single-digit scoring performance since Dec. 22, 2018, which oddly enough also came against the Heat. Antetokounmpo's minutes were capped at 24 due to the blowout nature of the team's win, although he added six rebounds, six […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores Season-High 28 Points In Win

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic registered his third-double-double of the season as he scored 28 points with 10 rebounds on an efficient 67 percent shooting from the field. Vucevic added five assists, three triples and a steal in 34 minutes for the surprisingly 4-0 Magic. The 30-year-old is one of the most consistent fantasy options […]

Tyler Herro Delivers Impressive 23-Point Outing In Defeat

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro was the rare member of his squad to put forth an impressive showing during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Bucks. Without Jimmy Butler (ankle) on the floor, Herro took on an increased offensive role, which led to a season-high 23 points and seven assists, including going 3-for-8 from long […]

Jerami Grant's Hot Stretch Continues

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant scored 27 points along with seven rebounds, three triples, three steals, two blocks, and an assist in a losing effort to the Warriors. Grant has now dropped at least 27 points in each of his last three games, with healthy contributions in rebounds, threes, free-throws made, and stocks (steals+blocks). While […]

Jrue Holiday Drills Six Triples En Route To Victory

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday entered Tuesday's win over Miami having gone a combined 1-for-9 from three-point range in his first three games. He promptly flipped the script on any long-range concerns, going 6-for-10 from behind the arc versus the Heat en route to a 24-point showing. Milwaukee had a convincing lead early, which […]

Andrew Wiggins Bounces Back With 27 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins had struggled coming into the contest against the Pistons, as he was averaging just 14.7 points on 32.7 percent shooting from the field. Wiggins put those games in the rearview mirror, as he poured in 27 points on 47.3 percent shooting. The 25-year-old added seven boards, five triples, three […]

Stephen Curry Records Second Straight 30-Point Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry scored 30-plus points for the second consecutive game in a 116-106 win over the Pistons.

Zach LaVine Scores 23 Points Against Wizards

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine scored a team-high 23 points on 6-for-15 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards.

Wendell Carter Jr. Has Double-Double Against Wizards

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. grabbed 12 rebounds against the Wizards on Tuesday. Carter also scored 10 points on 5-for-8 shooting and dished out three assists. After a shaky start to the season, Carter has double-doubles in consecutive games. While the return of Lauri Markkanen can cut down on Carter's opportunities, he should be […]

Russell Westbrook Records Third Triple-Double Of Season

It's been three games and three triple-doubles for Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook, who continues to post big stat lines in his new home, even as the Wizards fell to 0-4 on Tuesday. In Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, Westbrook was 9-for-17 from the floor, scoring 21 points and adding 15 rebounds and 11 assists. […]

Joel Embiid Attempts 16 Free Throws

The Toronto Raptors couldn't keep Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid off of the free-throw line in Tuesday's Sixers win, with Embiid taking 16 free throws. He made 14 of them on the way to scoring 29 points. He was 7-for-17 from the floor. Embiid also grabbed 16 rebounds, plus added four assists, two blocks, and […]

Tobias Harris Explodes Against Raptors

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris had a huge role in Tuesday's win over the Toronto Raptors, scoring 26 points on 11-for-20 shooting while also grabbing 11 rebounds. Harris had three assists, two steals, and two blocks as well and drained two threes. Harris has now shot 50 percent or better in three consecutive games, and […]

Kyle Lowry Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry came up just short of a triple-double in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers, scoring a team-high 24 points and adding eight rebounds and nine assists. Lowry also recorded a steal. Lowry was also 3-for-8 from three. Toronto is off to a rough start to the season, but Lowry remains as […]

Victor Oladipo Scores 24 Points Against Boston

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo scored 24 points on 10-for-18 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He also added six rebounds and six assists.

Jaylen Brown Continues To Perform Well

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored 20 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers. He also added two rebounds, two assists, and four steals. Brown has blossomed as a scorer for Boston in this young season and while he hasn't been consistently rebounding the ball, his steals are a nice addition […]

Jayson Tatum Has Double-Double Against Pacers

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 27 points on 9-for-17 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Tatum also added 11 rebounds, four assists, and three steals. It was Tatum's second consecutive double-double, and he's now scored at least 19 points in each game this season. Boston plays an injury-depleted Grizzlies team on Wednesday […]

Alex Caruso Will Miss Wednesday’s Game

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Alex Caruso has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest versus the Spurs due to the league's COVID-19 safety protocols. Caruso's absence will mark his second game in a row out of the mix, as Dennis Schroder having played 36 minutes Monday without his true backup. Caruso falls into the category of being […]

Isaiah Roby Draws First Career Start Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Isaiah Roby has played 11 career minutes, but he will draw the start at center Tuesday versus Orlando with Al Horford (rest) ruled out. Roby hasn't appeared in either of the Thunder's first two games of the season, so his shift into the starting five comes as something of a […]

Gary Trent Jr. Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is being listed as questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers due to a strained right calf. Trent is on the heels of having delivered a massive 28-point eruption off the bench Monday against the Lakers, in which he knocked down seven threes. But […]
