Gary Payton Ties Career High With Six Steals

The New York Knicks will not be looking forward to meeting Washington Wizards point/shooting guard Gary Payton when the two lock up again Feb. 12. After collecting a career-high six steals Monday versus the Knicks, Payton was back at it again Saturday, also scoring 15 points, while adding six rebounds, two assists and two made […]

Troy Brown Scuffles Amid Career-High 18 Shot Attempts

The opportunity for a massive output was there for Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Troy Brown during Saturday’s loss to the New York Knicks, but following a 4-for-18 shooting performance, Brown will have to settle for merely a solid outing. Even with the pile of missed shots, he still collected nine points and stacked the stat […]

Isaiah Thomas Scores 20 Points On Season-High 21 Shots

Washington Wizards point guard Isaiah Thomas shouldered much of the offensive load left in the wake of Bradley Beal’s absence for Saturday’s loss to the New York Knicks. Thomas, who returned to the mix following a two-game suspension, finished 5-for-21 from the field and tied for the team high in scoring with 20 points. His […]

Jordan McRae Hits Career-High Four Threes In 20-Point Outing

Washington Wizards point/shooting guard Jordan McRae stepped up in the absence of Bradley Beal (leg) during Saturday’s loss to the New York Knicks and dropped 20 points off the bench. McRae’s 16 shot attempts tied a season high, as he found a rhythm from long range where he shot 4-for-5, marking his first career contest […]

Julius Randle Posts Massive Double-Double During Victory

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle had reached the 30-point plateau just once over his first 30 games with his new squad. But following Saturday’s win over the Washington Wizards, Randle has gone for at least 30 points in three straight games, leading the team in scoring, as well as rebounding, as he tied […]

Buddy Hield Collects Team-High 23 Points In Defeat

Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Buddy Hield led his squad in scoring for the first time since Dec. 13 with 23 points during Saturday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. Hield entered the night in a significant offensive malaise, not having cracked the 20-point plateau in any of his previous six outings. But he finished 8-for-17 […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Buries Five Threes En Route To 22 Points

Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic may not have displayed the epic volume of shooting that he did in his most recent outing Thursday, but he did go for 22 points on just 12 shot attempts during Saturday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. Bogdanovic utilized a 5-for-7 evening from long range to bump his […]

Harrison Barnes Notches Second Straight Double-Double

Sacramento Kings small/power forward Harrison Barnes put together a 21-point, 10-rebound performance during Saturday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns, giving him his second consecutive double-double and third of the 2019-20 campaign. With Marvin Bagley (foot) back out of the mix, Barnes has taken on an increased role on the glass, in addition to upping his […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Collects Career-High 16 Rebounds In Victory

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Kelly Oubre Jr. responded in emphatic fashion during Saturday’s win over the Sacramento Kings on the heels of his quiet performance Friday.

Devin Booker Sinks 32 Points Amid Double-Double

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker continued his cold spell from long range during Saturday’s win over the Sacramento Kings, but he finished 14-for-23 from the field overall and collected 32 points, his ninth time exceeding the 30-point mark this season. For just the third time in 2019-20, Booker recorded a double-double with points and […]

Rudy Gay Has 16 Points Off The Bench

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay helped his team admirably off the bench on Saturday night. In the Spurs' 136-109 win over the Detroit Pistons, Gay had 16 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal. He was an efficient 6-for-9 from the field and 4-for-7 from behind the three-point line. His superstar […]

Kristaps Porzingis Sinks Four Triples During 18-Point Outing

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis notched 18 points during Saturday’s win over the Golden State Warriors, tying his season high with four made threes. In addition to the scoring, Porzingis added seven rebounds, four blocks and three assists, giving him significant contributions across the board, even as he logged just 26 minutes. Despite a […]

Bryn Forbes Hits Double Digits For The First Time in Six Games

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes righted the ship on Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons. Forbes scored 18 points on 6-for-8 shooting to go along with three rebounds, three assists and one steal. Forbes had been struggling for a few games after recording single-digit scoring outputs in five straight outings. December has not been […]

DeMar DeRozan Scores 29 Points On Saturday

On Saturday night, San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan hit a career milestone against the Detroit Pistons. DeRozan had 29 points, eight assists and five rebounds in 32 minutes.

LaMarcus Aldridge Drains Career-High Five Three-Pointers

In his team's 136-109 win over the Detroit Pistons, Aldridge had 25 points, 12 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one block in 30 minutes. The most interesting note from the box score was the five three-pointers he made on […]

D'Angelo Russell Ties Career High With Nine Made Triples

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell caught fire from long range during Saturday’s defeat to the Dallas Mavericks, going 9-for-14 from behind the three-point arc, tying his career high in makes from deep.

Andre Drummond Goes For 21 Points And 18 Rebounds

In his team's 136-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Drummond tallied 21 points, 18 rebounds, four blocks, three assists and one steal. The No. 1 center in fantasy basketball was questionable coming into the game but took on a […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Drops 25 Points In Just 23 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. was instant offense for his squad during Saturday’s victory over the Golden State Warriors, shooting 9-for-13 from the field overall en route to a 25-point performance. Hardaway contributed little else in his 23 minutes of action, but reached the 25-point plateau for the fourth time this month. […]

Luka Doncic Dominates En Route To Ninth Triple-Double Of Year

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic needed just 30 minutes to collect a gaudy stat line of 31 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds during Saturday’s win over the Golden State Warriors. Doncic wasn’t even needed much down the stretch, yet he managed to tie his season high in assists and log his first […]

Jeff Teague Scores 18 Points Against The Cavaliers

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague shot seven of 14 from the field on his way to 18 points and four assists in 26 minutes off the bench. Teague may now be entrenched in the second unit, but he seems to be doing just fine with five straight double-figure scoring performances, including in 10 of […]

Robert Covington Racks Up Four Steals Against Cleveland

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington scored 14 points in a loss to the Cavaliers to go with seven rebounds, four steals, three assists and three three-pointers. This was his second consecutive outing in double figures and the second most steals he's racked up in a game so far this season. The Timberwolves are a bit […]

Tristan Thompson Posts A Double-Double Against Minnesota

Cleveland Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson dropped 12 points and 15 rebounds in a win over Minnesota on Saturday. He shot just two of nine from the field but made up for it by going eight of 11 from the free-throw line while chipping in three assists as well. Even amidst Cleveland's futility, Thompson continues […]

Darius Garland Drops 18 Points Against Timberwolves

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland dropped 18 points with three assists and two rebounds in a win over Minnesota on Saturday night. This was quite the bounce-back game for Garland, who had shot less than 20 percent with just two points in the same amount of minutes (28) against Boston on Friday. On the […]

Collin Sexton Posts An Inefficient 18 Against Minnesota

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton shot just five of 17 and coughed up six turnovers to finish the win over the Timberwolves with 18 points and seven rebounds. It's been an interesting last 10 games for Sexton. During that stretch, the sophomore guard has sprinkled in several single-digit outings with others that saw him score […]

Marvin Bagley is Out on Saturday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Bagley is visiting a specialist this weekend, so it's not surprising that he's been ruled out here. Richaun Holmes and Nemanja Bjelica have been reliable options this season and should see increased value without Bagley available on Saturday.

De'Aaron Fox is Doubtful for Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. His MRI did come back clean, but the Kings are going to be careful with their young guard. Bogdan Bogdanovic will be asked to step up if Fox sits out. He'd be worth looking at for DFS contests. Cory Joseph […]

Mitchell Robinson is Fine for Saturday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (toe) is available for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sprained his toe last week and made the issue worse during Thursday's contest. However, it appears that Robinson is going to be fine for this game. Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis will continue to play their same roles. […]
