Thatcher Demko Solid In Vancouver’s Win

Backup goaltender Thatcher Demko turned aside 17 of 18 shots to help the Canucks defeat the San Jose Sharks by a score of 4-1 on Saturday night.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic posted 13 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one triple, and one steal in a 109-95 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Cale Makar, Avalanche Overpower Blues

The Colorado Avalanche needed just 18 shots to score five goals on Saturday night in a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Blues. Rookie Cale Makar scored his second goal in two games and now has 11 on the season -- a franchise record for a first-year defenseman. Overall, he has 35 points in 40 […]

Markelle Fultz Bounces Back With Efficient Performance

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz put up 23 points, six rebounds, four assists, and a steal in a 109-95 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Fultz followed up his magical triple-double against the Lakers with a 29.4 percent shooting performance, so it was great to see him shoot so well in this one. The 21-year-old […]

Jordan Poole Pours In Career-High 21 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole scored a career-high 21 points with four triples, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in a 109-95 win over the Orlando Magic. Poole has been playing well lately, scoring in double-figure with at least two rebounds, two assists, and two triples in his last four games. It's worth […]

Eric Paschall Scores 20 With Nine Boards

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall recorded 20 points, nine rebounds, two triples, two steals, and one assist in a 109-95 win over the Orlando Magic. Paschall struggled injuries and inconsistencies in December after his red-hot start but has picked himself up off the mat in January. In the last three games, the former Villanova […]

D'Angelo Russell Hands Out Season-High 12 Assists

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell scored 26 points with a season-high 12 assists, four triples, two rebounds, and two steals in a 109-95 win over the Orlando Magic.

The 10 makes from the line tie a career high, while he also added 15 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across his 36 […]

Booker finished 12-for-20 from the floor en route to a 39-point showing, boosted by a 14-for-15 performance from the free-throw stripe. Across the stat sheet, Saturday arguably marked Booker’s best showing […]

Rudy Gay Unlikely To Suit Up Sunday

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Rudy Gay is on track to miss his second consecutive game Sunday versus the Miami Heat due to an illness. Without Gay in the mix, Trey Lyles is likely to see an increased role in the frontcourt. Gay has been a vital cog in the Spurs’ second unit this season, […]

Dejounte Murray Picks Up Questionable Tag For Sunday

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray has been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday’s contest versus the Miami Heat due to an illness. Should Murray ultimately be held out, the trio of Derrick White, Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills would all be in line for increased usage, which could be vital in a […]

Steven Adams Cleared To Suit Up For Saturday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams will be back in action for Saturday’s contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers following a one-game absence due to a right knee contusion. Adams’ return dampens the fantasy value of Nerlens Noel, who is likely to return to his role as a reserve. Without Danilo Gallinari available, Adams should […]

Michael Carter-Williams Cleared To Make Return Saturday

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams will return to action Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors following a 13-game absence due to an AC joint sprain. His return gives head coach Steve Clifford a true backup to point guard Markelle Fultz, although how many minutes Carter-Williams has been cleared for remains up in the air. […]

Anthony Davis To Miss Fifth Straight Contest Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis has been ruled out for Saturday’s game versus the Houston Rockets due to a back ailment. Davis landed hard on his tailbone nearly two weeks ago and has been absent from game action ever since, paving the way for Kyle Kuzma and Dwight Howard to see increased roles. […]

Tyler Herro Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro has been listed as questionable to participate in Sunday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs due to a left knee bruise. The ailment has kept Herro sidelined for each of the team’s previous two contests, paving the way for Kendrick Nunn to lead the team in scoring in both […]

Derrick Favors Shoots Perfectly In Double-Double Performance

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors enjoyed a perfect 10-for-10 shooting night during his double-double performance in Saturday's loss to the Clippers. He finished with 22 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, adding three assists and one steal to his line in 28 minutes. Favors has had some health issues, but he's quietly turned into […]

Glenn Robinson III To Miss Saturday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Glenn Robinson III will be held out of Saturday’s game versus the Orlando Magic due to a sprained right ankle. His absence paves the way for Eric Paschall to see a considerable role, especially with Draymond Green (finger) also out of the mix. Ky Bowman has been recalled from […]

Kent Bazemore, Trevor Ariza Swapped In Five-Player Trade

The Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings struck a deal Saturday that saw small/power forward Trevor Ariza sent to Portland, with shooting guard/small Kent Bazemore highlighting the package that went back to Sacramento. While both wings hold marginal fantasy value, Ariza enters the better situation due to Portland’s need for three-point shooting. Bazemore will have […]

Fred Vanvleet Cleared To Return Saturday

Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred Vanvleet will get back on the floor for Saturday’s game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves after a five-game absence due to a hamstring ailment. Despite his return to action, he is likely to be held around the 25-minute plateau as head coach Nick Nurse eases him back into action. Vanvleet’s return […]

Lonzo Ball Reaches Triple-Double In Saturday's Loss

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball was in triple-double form on Saturday, finishing a 133-130 loss to the Clippers with 18 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. He shot 7-for-16 from the field and 4-for-9 from deep, adding two steals and one block with six turnovers to his line as well. Ball posted a […]

Montrezl Harrell Enjoys 24-Point Outing Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers power forward Montrezl Harrell put together a nice 24-point outing in Saturday's win over the Pelicans, shooting 9-for-11 from the floor and 6-for-10 at the charity stripe. Sadly he didn't do much else in 25 minutes of action, but his performance was enough to squeeze out a three-point win. Harrell has now […]

Ante Zizic, Brandon Knight To Be Absent Saturday

The Cleveland Cavaliers second unit will be severely short-handed for Saturday’s game versus the Chicago Bulls with point/shooting guard Brandon Knight and centers Ante Zizic and John Henson unavailable due to injury. Knight will be missing his second consecutive game, while Zizic will be sidelined for the fourth straight outing with an illness. The frontcourt […]

Lou Williams Notches 32 Points Off The Pine

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams was the team's second-leading scorer in Saturday's win over the Pelicans, notching 32 points in 31 minutes off the bench. He shot 7-for-16 from the field and 4-for-7 from downtown, adding 14 points from the line with 15 attempts. Sweet Lou also found time to record five assists, four […]
