James Harden Leads Houston In Scoring Against Miami

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored a team-high 28 points on Monday as the Rockets took down the Miami Heat in an abnormally low-scoring affair for the Rockets, who put up just 99 points in the victory.

Eric Gordon Fails To Hit A Three Against Heat

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon struggled from long range on Monday, going 0-for-7 from behind the arc. Gordon still managed to score 16 points on 6-for-15 shooting overall.

Gerald Green Doesn't Touch Floor Against Miami

Houston Rockets shooting guard Gerald Green had turned into a consistent bench scorer for the Rockets over the first half of January and a consistent streaming option in deeper leagues, but the journeyman veteran missed two games due to a suspension and didn't see the floor in his return on Monday. With James Harden and […]

Wesley Matthews Scores 14 Points With Four Triples

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews was feeling it from deep on Monday against the Washington Wizards, attempting eight shots and making half of them on his way to 14 points in 30 minutes on the floor.

Dennis Smith Jr. Keeps it Rolling on Monday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. continued his good January run against Washington, scoring 17 points with six assists, three rebounds and two steals.

The quarterback position saw plenty of volatility in 2017, as 58 different quarterbacks started at least one game. And that's just for the Cleveland Browns...

Darius Miller with Another Solid Game Off the Bench

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Darius Miller provided another solid boost off the bench against the Chicago Bulls.

Miller logged 41 minutes and nearly had a double-double […]

E'Twaun Moore Equals Season High with Four Steals

New Orleans Pelicans guard E'Twaun Moore struggled with his shot on Monday against Chicago, going just 6-for-15 from the field, but made up for it with his solid defensive efforts by grabbing four steals, equaling his season high that he set back in November.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday faced off with his brother, Justin Holiday, and the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
