Russell Westbrook Struggles From The Floor

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook didn't have the best shooting night on Tuesday against the Washington Wizards. Westbrook scored 13 points, going 5-for-18 from the floor. He also had 10 assists, six boards, and four steals to fill out the stat sheet. In the month of January, Westbrook had a field goal percentage […]

Paul George Falls Short In The Second Half

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George put up a subpar second-half performance as the Thunder fell on the road to the John Wall-less Washington Wizards 102-96. George notched 28 points on 8-for-14 shooting from the field, but he managed only eight points in the second half as OKC failed to grab their fifth straight W. The […]

Andre Drummond Dealing With Illness

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (illness) will start Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Drummond came down to a game-time decision but will give it a go after dealing with an illness. It remains to be seen how this illness affects Drummond's play Tuesday, making him a risky play for DFS lineups. Detroit plays again […]

C.J. Miles Will Not Play Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) will miss Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Miles is dealing with a sore knee, so it doesn't seem serious, but his availability for Thursday is in question. Guards Delon Wright and Fred VanVleet will split up the bulk of the minutes while Norman Powell should see some […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out Tuesday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (groin) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Paul is battling a sore right groin and was hopeful to give it a go Tuesday, so the injury does not seem serious. In his absence, Eric Gordon will move into the starting lineup […]

Well, this should be interesting. We received news on Monday evening that Blake Griffin will be traded to the Pistons in exchange for Tobias Harrisa and Avery Bradley.

Evan Fournier Expects to Play Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (ankle) is expected to play against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. He practiced fully on Monday after rolling his ankle in Saturday's game. He was able to finish the game, so the injury does not sound too serious. Fournier should be ready to go on Tuesday, but official confirmation will […]

Garrett Temple is Probable on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. He did not play on Sunday against the Spurs, but is on track to return on Tuesday. Temple's return will mean less minutes for guys like Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and George Hill. It's become difficult to trust anyone […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Won't Play Against Knicks

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) will not play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Both RHJ and Caris LeVert (groin) will be sidelined for the second straight contest.

Caris LeVert Won't Play Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) will not play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Head coach Kenny Atkinson was being cautious and held LeVert out of Saturday's game versus Minnesota.

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (gluteus) will play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's been targeting this return date for quite some time, and he will be available for the first time this month. Head coach Doc Rivers would like to ease Gallinari back into things since he's only played 11 games this […]

Trade Impact - Blake Griffin To The Pistons

On Monday night, the Los Angeles Clippers and Detroit Pistons agreed to a trade that felt shocking at first. The Clippers are sending the player many regarded as their star in Blake Griffin, along with Brice Johnson and Willie Reed, to Detroit for Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and two draft picks. It's a […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Andre Drummond and Bradley Beal?

The blockbuster trade that saw Blake Griffin team up with Andre Drummond is going to reshape a fair amount of fantasy value in Detroit. And their star player up to a day ago is going to play second fiddle to the All-Star newcomer. Is this going to cause Drummond to take a dip in the […]

Enes Kanter Probable on Tuesday

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (lip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He cut his lip at practice on Monday but is still expected to play on Tuesday. The cut required seven stitches to close, but this injury isn't expected to keep him out of the rotation. Owners should check back […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He left Monday's game against Indiana late in the fourth quarter and was unable to return. The X-rays came back negative, but Williams does have an ankle sprain. Frank Kaminsky will likely move into the starting five on […]

Skal Labissiere Ruled Out Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Skal Labissiere (shoulder) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This will mark the second straight game that he's missed due to a shoulder issue. It is a shame because Labissiere was beginning to heat up from the floor, too. Veterans Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufos will […]

Kevon Looney Ruled Out Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kevon Looney (illness) will not play against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Both Looney and Jordan Bell (ankle) are ruled out, but that could mean a significant role for JaVale McGee. However, Looney was only playing minutes in the teens, so McGee is not going to have a career night. He […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Houston

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gordon played 40 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Pacers, but did not practice on Monday. The Magic play on Wednesday as well, so Gordon is in danger of missing both contests. Mario Hezonja is expected to join […]

Jayson Tatum Scores 20 Points In Win Over Denver

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a nice night on Monday as the Celtics took care of business in Denver. Tatum had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting to go with his nice line of six rebounds, four assists and a block. Tatum’s hot start to the season has given way to some inconsistencies. The talent […]

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Lauri Markkanen (personal) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed practice both on Monday and Tuesday this week, but the only details available are that it's an excused absence.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Mason Plumlee (calf) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was using crutches in the locker room and is currently not traveling with the team. He'll have an MRI on Tuesday, but he's likely looking at a multiple-game absence. He can be dropped in standard leagues […]

Fred VanVleet Uncertain for Tuesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (personal) is uncertain for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He did not attend shootaround and is with his family following the birth of his daughter on Sunday. Delon Wright would see increased minutes off the bench if VanVleet does not play Tuesday. Norman Powell is expected to see […]

Chris Paul Hopeful to Play Tuesday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (groin) is hopeful to play against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Paul played in just 27 minutes of Sunday's victory over Phoenix. He left in the fourth quarter, but Paul said he was "fine" after the game. The team wants to be careful […]

John Wall Out Six Weeks With Knee Injury

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (knee) will undergo a knee procedure and will be out for the next six weeks, The Washington Post's Candace Buckner reports. Though the timetable has Wall returning by playoff time, the Wizards will have to try to win games without him for the time being. Shooting guard Bradley Beal will […]

Blake Griffin, Brice Johnson, Willie Reed Won't Play Tuesday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Blake Griffin, Brice Johnson and Willie Reed will not play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. According to head coach Stan Van Gundy, the trio is questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. They were brought to Detroit in a blockbuster trade on Monday night. They still need to complete their physicals […]

Wilson Chandler is Probable on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is probable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. He did not play in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics but appears to be on track to return on Tuesday. Will Barton logged 41 minutes on Monday but will see a reduced role if Chandler is back […]
