Malcolm Brogdon Has Good Bubble Debut

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon made his first restart appearance on Monday, collecting 20 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in a comfortable win over Washington. Brogdon, who also had one steal and one block, missed the team's first game in Orlando on Saturday with a neck problem. The 27-year-old guard is having a nice […]

T.J. Warren Stays Hot With 34-Point Performance

Indiana Pacers small forward T.J. Warren followed up his Saturday's 53-point explosion with a 34-point performance in Monday's 111-100 win over Washington. He went cold from deep with a 1-for-6 performance, but shot a nice 14-for-26 overall from the field and filled it up in other categories as well. Warren's stat line included 11 rebounds, […]

Pascal Siakam More Efficient In Second Bubble Game

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam shot the ball much better in his second bubble game against the Heat. After going just 5-for-17 from the field, Siakam scored 22 points on efficient 50 percent shooting from the field. The 26-year-old has a real case for winning the Most Improved Player award again in 2020, averaging 23.5 […]

Fred VanVleet Drills Seven Threes, Scores Career-High 36

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet went off for his third 30-point game of the season, scoring a career-high 36 in Monday's win over the Heat. The 26-year-old was feeling it from deep in this one, notching seven triples and adding five rebounds, four assists and a steal. VanVleet amazingly went 13 of 13 from the […]

Jamal Murray Officially Ruled Out For Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was considered very questionable, but the Nuggets will play it safe here. It sounds like he's getting closer to a return, so maybe he'll be back for the next game. Until then, Monte Morris will […]

Jonathan Isaac Suffers Torn ACL

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) reportedly suffered a season-ending injury during Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. His knee gave out on a non-contact play and he tore his ACL. He'll likely need surgery which means he won't play until possibly some point next season. This is a big blow to the Magic who […]

Ish Smith Takes Over As Starting Point Guard

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith will join the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Scott Brooks has decided to shake things up and bench Shabazz Napier after an unimpressive beginning to the restart. Smith has been playing well and is trending up. He could be a decent cheap DFS option […]

Malcolm Brogdon Back In The Starting Five

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (neck) will return to the starting five for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He will make his bubble debut after missing the opener due to a neck issue. It's unclear if he'll be limited at all, but he was able to practice and go through shootaround. Victor Oladipo (knee) […]

Caris LeVert Sitting Out Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thigh) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll join Jarrett Allen (rest) and Joe Harris (back) on the sideline for this one. Jamal Crawford (conditioning) might be available in this game, so hopefully he is because they desperately need him. Otherwise, Tyler Johnson and Timothe […]

Joe Harris Ruled Out Versus Bucks

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets are basically punting this game with Jarrett Allen (rest) and Caris Levert (thigh) hitting the sideline as well. It sounds like Brooklyn just wants to give their banged up guys a day off to rest. Timothe […]

Jarrett Allen Will Rest On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (rest) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is quite shocking news considering the Nets don't have much frontcourt depth. He played 38 minutes last game and Brooklyn is playing three games in four nights. Rodions Kurucs and Lance Thomas should see plenty of playing time […]

Bryn Forbes Won't Suit Up Versus Sixers

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes (quad) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to deal with right quad tightness, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Marco Belinelli (ankle) is sidelined as well, so Lonnie Walker IV and Keldon Johnson will be in line for […]

Marco Belinelli Remains Sidelined

San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Gregg Popovich has not given much of an update on Belinelli lately. It doesn't seem that the organization is in any rush to bring back the veteran guard. Lonnie Walker IV and Keldon Johnson will […]

Glenn Robinson III Won't Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) will not suit up for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was originally considered doubtful due to a hip pointer issue. Matisse Thybulle, Alec Burks, and Furkan Korkmaz will be asked to step up in the absence of Robinson. None of them have made much of […]

Dennis Schroder Not Available For Monday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (personal) is currently not with the team and has no timetable for his return. He mentioned back in mid-July that his wife was due in roughly three or four weeks. This is likely the reason that he left the bubble, so it's unclear when he'll be back. He'll have […]

Devin Booker Leads Suns Past Mavs

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker delivered a 30-point performance on Sunday, leading the team to a sweet 117-115 win over Dallas. He fouled out late on, but the damage was done already with 10-for-20 shooting from the floor and 9-for-10 work at the line. Booker also had four assists, three rebounds, and one steal. The […]

Gordon Hayward Pours In 22 Points

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward recorded 22 points, eight rebounds, four triples, three assists and a steal in a victory over the Trail Blazers on Sunday. Hayward was very efficient, shooting 60 percent from the field and 80 percent from deep. When the 30-year-old plays like this, it makes Boston a real threat to win […]

Jaylen Brown Catches Fire From Downtown

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was in a zone from three-point range on Sunday, drilling 6 of 8 treys in a 128-124 win over Portland. Brown finished with 30 points, six rebounds, two steals and an assist, playing more minutes than any other Celtic not named Jayson Tatum. Boston's young guns led the way, with […]

Jusuf Nurkic Stays Hot On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is showing no signs of rust after missing most of the 2019-20 season rehabbing his leg injury. Nurkic dominated Boston on Sunday in a losing effort, scoring 30 points with nine boards, five assists, two steals, a block and a triple in 32 minutes. The 25-year-old feasted on the […]

Damian Lillard Posts Monster 30-16 Line

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (chest) ended Sunday's loss with a monster line of 30 points and a season-high 16 assists along with five triples. Lillard started the game shaky, just like on Friday, but caught fire to help lead a furious comeback for the Blazers. He's dealing with chest and foot injuries and […]
