OG Anunoby Effective In Victory Against Pistons

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby scored 19 points to go along with eight rebounds, three assists and one block in Wednesday's 112-99 victory over the Pistons. The 22-year-old started the game aggressively on the offensive end by finding open lanes to the basketball and creating contact for additional points from the line, while spotting up […]

Kyle Lowry Posts Triple-Double In Victory

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block on 5-for-17 shooting from field goal range and 3-for-6 from beyond the arc in Wednesday's 112-99 victory over the Pistons. The triple-double was Lowry's first of the season and 15th of his career, while the guard posted […]

Serge Ibaka Scores Season-High 25 Points In Victory

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka recorded his third double-double of the season in Wednesday's 112-99 victory over the Pistons, finishing with a season-high 25 points and 13 rebounds on 10-for-18 shooting from the field in 30 minutes. The 30-year-old was effective in a variety of ways, with season-highs in field goals made attempted while filling […]

Dennis Schroder Ties Season High With 31-Point Outing

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Dennis Schroder helped key a second-half comeback for his squad, tying his season high with 31 points in Wednesday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Schroder shot 10-for-19 from the field overall, setting new season highs from the free-throw stripe with 10 makes on 11 attempts. He was also the team’s […]

Andre Drummond is Listed as Questionable for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's missed the last two games due to an allergic reaction. Head coach Dwane Casey said the Pistons "should be full boat" for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. It sounds like Drummond is actually closer to probable than questionable, […]

Fred Vanvleet Will Likely Sit Versus Pistons

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Nick Nurse said Vanvleet looked better during Tuesday's practice, but we'll see what happens. Norman Powell has been playing very well during Vanvleet's absence. DFS players should be able to rely on Powell once again […]

Nicolas Batum Should Play on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's missed the last four games due to left hand discomfort. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist might fall out of the rotation with Batum returning. Batum will be someone worth looking at in deep leagues while PJ Washington (finger) is out.

Julius Randle Sits Out of Practice

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (leg) did not suit up for Wednesday's practice. He only played 23 minutes during Tuesday's win, but the Knicks don't play again until Friday. Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis, and Mitchell Robinson would be asked to fill the void if Randle misses time. Robinson is the best fantasy option out […]

Frank Ntilikina Doesn't Practice on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with an unknown illness, but will have two days to rest before Friday's game. Elfrid Payton and Dennis Smith Jr. would be asked to split up the minutes if Ntilikina is unable to play on Friday. Payton […]

Mike Conley is Expected to Miss Multiple Games

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is going to be sidelined the next few games and could miss weeks of action. He returned from a five game absence on Tuesday, but aggravated his hamstring issue. The Jazz are going to be cautious with their veteran guard, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Conley miss […]

Gordon Hayward is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's dealing with soreness in his left foot, so it's unclear how long he's going to be sidelined. The Celtics are most likely just being cautious here, but fantasy owners should consider Hayward questionable for Friday's contest. Semi […]

Anthony Davis is Hopeful for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (ankle) is hopeful that he'll be able to suit up for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He didn't suit up for Tuesday's game due to a right ankle sprain. Jared Dudley drew the start, but didn't do much with the extra playing time. JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard […]

Lonzo Ball is Questionable for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ball played 35 minutes on Tuesday, but could sit out due to a right hip contusion. J.J. Redick (groin) is probable, so Ball is likely going to come off the bench even if he suits up. Fantasy […]

J.J. Redick is Probable for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (groin) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He missed Tuesday's game due to left groin soreness, but it sounds like he'll suit up here. He's expected to rejoin the starting five, so Josh Hart is going to lose value with Redick returning. Fantasy owners should check […]

Dwight Howard Scores Season-High 20 Points

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard couldn't help the team keep its road winning streak alive on Tuesday against Indiana, but he enjoyed some good individual success in a 105-102 loss, scoring a season-high 20 points on perfect 10-for-10 shooting. He made good use of a few extra minutes with Anthony Davis (ankle) out, adding […]

LeBron James Gets Limited To Only 20 Points By Pacers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James had one of his toughest games of the season on Tuesday, scoring only 20 points and missing all six attempts from deep in a 105-102 loss to Indiana. LeBron managed to salvage his fantasy line a bit with nine rebounds and nine assists, but he was in a prime […]

Myles Turner Continues Block Party Tuesday Night

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner put together a solid line in Tuesday's win over the Lakers, scoring 16 points and adding seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. He has now registered multiple blocks in five of his last seven appearances. Turner shot 5-for-9 in the game and was outstanding from downtown with a 3-for-6 […]

Malcolm Brogdon Produces Good All-Around Performance

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon made some key shots and had a good all-around performance on Tuesday against the Lakers, finishing a 105-102 win with 14 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one block. His shot was a bit off as he went 6-for-16 from the field, but he managed a nice 2-for-4 success […]

Domantas Sabonis Scores Game-High 26 Points

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis extended his double-double streak to 13 games and had a game-high 26 points in Tuesday's 105-102 win over the Lakers. He also dished out four assists and shot a very good 10-for-15 from the field. Sabonis has had some struggles scoring the basketball lately, going 10 straight games without reaching […]

Jrue Holiday Misses 19 Of His 28 Shots On Tuesday

Despite the New Orleans Pelicans suffering a franchise-record 13th consecutive loss, Jrue Holiday continued to provide wins for his fantasy managers. In New Orleans' overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the point guard tallied 21 points, six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal. Unfortunately, it took a season-high 28 shots to get those […]

Brandon Ingram Needs 23 Shots To Get His 22 Points

In his team's 108-101 overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets, New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram recorded his fifth double-double of the season. Although the 22 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks and one assist were nice, it was not a terribly efficient performance from the Pelicans primary offensive weapon. It took 23 shots for […]

Jarrett Allen Ties Career High With Six Blocks

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen was a force to be reckoned with on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. On the way to recording his 14th double-double of the 2019-20 season, Allen also tied his career high with six blocks. His final stat line was 12 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and one assist. […]
