Jamal Murray Questionable Against Suns

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) is questionable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. He's likely headed towards a game-time decision on Friday, but it depends on if he can clear the concussion protocol. He missed Wednesday's game with the Clippers after suffering a blow to the head in Tuesday's contest. If Murray […]

Derrick Jones Expected to Start on Friday

Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones is expected to start on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out, and Jones received the start for him on Wednesday.

D'Angelo Russell is Available on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) is available to play against the Miami Heat on Friday.

He's likely going to be […]

Marc Gasol is Expected to Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (illness) is expected to play against the Sacramento Kings on Friday. He participated in shootaround and is on track to rejoin the starting five.

Avery Bradley is 50/50 on Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) has a "50/50" chance of playing against the Washington Wizards on Friday, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) has been ruled out for at least two weeks. Bell was on crutches and in a walking boot following Wednesday's game with the Chicago Bulls.

Willie Calhoun is Coming...

Last season, the Rangers surprised the baseball world by trading superstar Yu Darvish to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a return that, at the time, was deemed pretty sparse. The centerpiece was a little known, and maybe lesser-appreciated infielder named Willie Calhoun. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB draft, Calhoun started his […]

Luc Mbah a Moute Enjoys a Rare Start

Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute was in the starting five for just the fourth time this season on Thursday, and he didn't disappoint, scoring eight of the Rockets first 13 points and finishing with 14 points.

Hilario has seen his playing time dip this season, as the […]

Fixing A Broken Fantasy Baseball League

Coming into last season, my home league of 13 years had a problem. Since becoming a rotisserie league, adopting an auction draft, and instituting a new keeper system six years earlier, only one person had won it: Me. Let me state up front and unequivocally that I don’t intend or want for this article to […]

Chris Paul Has Strong Outing Against Minnesota

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul was a key part of his team's Thursday night win over Minnesota, scoring 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting. He made four three-pointers, including a fourth-quarter shot over Karl-Anthony Towns that helped Houston seal the victory. Paul also added nine assists and three steals for the Rockets. CP3 will try […]

Clint Capela Has Efficient Game Against Timberwolves

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 20 points on 7-for-9 shooting in Houston's Thursday night win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Capela didn't have a great night on the boards -- his five rebounds tied him for fourth best on the team -- but he was a key part of the victory. Perhaps the most intriguing […]

Eric Gordon Comes Up Big Off Bench

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon scored 30 points on Thursday to help the short-handed Rockets take down the Timberwolves. Gordon made 11 of his 19 shot attempts, including a 7-for-13 night from behind the arc. Houston's top bench player also had three rebounds and three assists. It's unlikely that Gordon repeats this scoring display […]

James Harden Struggles In Return

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden made his return from a hamstring injury in Thursday's win over Minnesota, but the Rockets star looked a little rusty. Harden shot just 3-for-15 from the field and managed just 10 points -- a fourth-quarter trip to the free throw line allowed Harden continue a streak of double-digit scoring […]
