Carmelo Anthony Posts A Double-Double

Portland Trail Blazers forward exacted some revenge against his former employer on Tuesday night in a 110-102 win over the Houston Rockets. Anthony recorded 15 points, 11 rebounds, two steals, one assist, and one block in 36 minutes. Melo also iced the game in the final minute with a three-pointer that gave Portland a five-point […]

Jeff Green Scores Season-High 22 Points

Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green scored 22 points on Tuesday night in a 110-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a new season-high for Green, and life has been good for the 33-year-old in a Rocket uniform. He is averaging 10.3 points per game but is also shooting the ball at a career-best […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Will Miss Rest Of Season

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) will miss the rest of the season with a meniscus tear in his left knee. Jackson must have suffered the injury at some point in Monday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Jackson had 17 points on 41.2 percent shooting, two rebounds, two three-pointers and two blocks in […]

Jimmy Butler Will Sit Tuesday Against Celtics

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. Butler is dealing with ankle soreness and will be forced to sit out after playing 33 minutes against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. This is a huge loss for Miami as they are just 2.5 games back from the Celtics for […]

Goga Bitadze Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has been banged up from a knee issue, but could get back out there for this one. However, he could be limited during his first game back, which wouldn't make him an attractive fantasy option. Domantas Sabonis […]

Jamal Crawford Exits Early With Injury

Brooklyn Nets guard Jamal Crawford (hamstring) was forced to miss the rest of Tuesday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks due to injury. He played just six minutes before tweaking his left hamstring during his Nets debut. Crawford became the second-oldest player to suit up for the team, but sadly it didn't last long. He dropped […]

Mike Muscala Out With A Concussion

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Mike Muscala (head) won't be able to participate in any games until he clears concussion protocol. It's unclear how long this is going to take, so he could end up missing a game or two. However, Muscala is not a big part of the rotation, so this won't make much of […]

Lou Williams Has Cleared Quarantine

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams has officially cleared quarantine and is available for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He will be making his bubble debut, but could be somewhat limited since this is his first game back. His return will mean less minutes for Landry Shamet and Reggie Jackson. Williams probably isn't the […]

Aron Baynes Remains Sidelined Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (conditioning) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. His is still getting his conditioning back to normal after dealing with COVID-19. Baynes has gone through some light practices, but his conditioning isn't where it needs to be yet. There's a chance that we don't see […]

The 28-year-old had 25 points, six rebounds, four assists, one block, and one steal in 31 minutes.

Embiid had 27 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 31 minutes of action on Monday. The All-Star went […]

Derrick White Hits Four Three-Pointers

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White scored 20 points on Monday night in a 132-130 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The point guard also had an efficient night shooting the ball. He went 6-for-11 from the field, 4-for-6 from three-point land, and made four of his five free throws. White has now reached the 20-point […]

Rudy Gay Has 24 Points in 24 Minutes

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay came off the bench and was efficient in a 132-130 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Gay scored 24 points on 15 shots and added four rebounds and two three-pointers to his box score. That's now two games with at least 19 points during the restart for Gay. Inside the […]

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai-Gilgeous Alexander poured in 24 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the field. He added five rebounds, three triples and two steals in 38 minutes of floor time. Through two games in the bubble, Gilgeous-Alexander's stats are nearly identical to his numbers prior to the shutdown. With an outside chance of getting […]

Nikola Jokic Notches Triple-Double

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 30 points with 12 boards, 10 assists, 10 made free-throws and two steals in a 121-113 win over the Thunder. Jokic did all this despite going 0-for-5 from beyond the arc, so there was potentially room for even bigger numbers. Thunder center Steven Adams simply had no answer for […]

Michael Porter Jr. Explodes For Career-High 37 Points

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. bounced back in a huge way with a career-high 37 points on 12 of 16 shooting from the field in an overtime victory over the Thunder. Porter Jr. became the first Nuggets rookie since Carmelo Anthony with 30+ points and 10+ rebounds in a game so he's on the […]

Kelly Olynyk Solid Against Raptors

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk scored 17 points and made four triples in Monday's loss to the Raptors. Olynyk only averaged 18.6 minutes per game before the shutdown, but that number has ballooned up to 27.5 minutes per game in two bubble games. Now, it's worth noting that the first game was a blowout when […]

Jimmy Butler Stuffs Stat Sheet in Losing Effort

Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler did it all in a losing effort against the Raptors on Monday. Butler compiled 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes. It was an encouraging effort for the 30-year-old, coming just a day after he reportedly missed practice and was isolating himself. Butler […]

Jerome Robinson Scores 17 Points In Monday's Loss

Washington Wizards shooting guard Jerome Robinson led the team in shot attempts and scored 17 points in Monday's loss to Indiana. The former Clipper was very trigger-happy in the contest, firing off a third of the team's 30 three-point attempts and shooting 7-for-18 overall from the field. He also tallied three rebounds, two assists, one […]

Shabazz Napier Performs Well Off The Bench

Washington Wizards point guard Shabazz Napier responded well to being demoted to the second unit, dropping 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Monday's 111-100 loss to the Pacers. He also had four assists, two rebounds, and one block with three turnovers in 22 minutes. Ish Smith, who replaced Napier in the starting lineup, also logged […]

Goran Dragic Scores 25 Off The Bench

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic scored 25 points with five rebounds, five assists, three triples, two steals and a block in a loss to the Raptors on Monday. Dragic was dealing with back spasms prior to the game, though you wouldn't have known it judging by his performance. The 34-year-old got more run in this […]

Thomas Bryant Posts Another Double-Double

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant made it two double-doubles on the bounce with a 20-point, 11-rebound effort in Monday's loss to Indiana. He added three blocks while shooting a very good 9-for-12 from the field and 2-for-3 from outside. Bryant had a poor start in Orlando against Phoenix, but he's quickly gotten his act together […]

Myles Turner Just Misses Out On Double-Double

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner took advantage of a good matchup against Washington on Monday, recording 17 points and nine rebounds in a 111-100 win.
