He also snapped up three steals while shooting 3-for-7 from deep. Morant has produced a couple of very strong weeks and finished off last […]

Tyler Herro Torches The Rockets

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro led all scorers with 31 points and almost had a triple-double in Friday's 97-95 win over Houston. He also had a game-high eight assists and shared the best mark of the contest with nine rebounds. Herro hit half of his 10 three-pointers and shot 11-for-20 overall from the field. In […]

Collin Sexton Fills Stat Sheet In Start

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton put together one of the strongest performances of the season in Friday's 122-116 win in Toronto, racking up 22 points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks. Sexton typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, so this outstanding all-around performance must have been very pleasing for fantasy managers. […]

Derrick White Notches Career-High 33 Points

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White made a major impact against the Hornets on Friday, finishing a 127-116 victory with a career-high 33 points and 10 assists. He added three rebounds, one steal and three blocks while shooting 12-for-19 from the field with a superb 8-for-14 performance from three-point land. The Hornets have been horrible defensively […]

James Harden Extends Double-Double Streak

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden rolled through with his fourth consecutive double-double in Friday's 119-108 triumph over the Knicks. He wasn't far off a triple-double either, finishing the game with 20 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists. The Beard added a steal to his account and shot 7-for-17 from the field, including 2-for-8 from downtown. […]

Ricky Rubio Getting The Night Off On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (knee) won't play on Friday night against New Orleans. The veteran had eight points and two steals in 16 minutes on Wednesday versus the Piston. However, with the Cavs going into a back-to-back, Rubio will sit out on Friday before likely returning for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Chicago Bulls. […]

Jordan Clarkson Sidelined On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't available against the Toronto Raptors. Clarkson is sidelined with a non-COVID-related illness, so Talen Horton-Tucker may replace him in the starting lineup. Utah traded Mike Conley ahead of the trade deadline, and Russell Westbrook won't play. As a result, Horton-Tucker, who registered 19 points, seven rebounds, and two […]

Mike Conley Available To Make Timberwolves Debut On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley is officially available to make his debut on just the third team in his career on Friday. His fit alongside Anthony Edwards and eventually Karl-Anthony Towns seems, in theory, to be better than D'Angelo Russell. So far this season, while his scoring has been at a career low, he's averaged […]

Jordan Clarkson Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) was added to the injury report on Friday with a non-COVID illness that could keep him off the floor against the Toronto Raptors. The 30-year-old has missed only one game so far this season, so this isn't much of a reoccurring theme. Since the team traded away Mike Conley […]

Tre Jones Out Again On Friday Versus Pistons

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) will miss his fourth consecutive game with left foot soreness. He was originally listed as questionable just as he was for their last game, but he was inevitably downgraded before tipoff. The Spurs will be without seven different players, so there is probably a plethora of players available […]

Luka Doncic Downgraded To Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) will have to wait for at least one more game to debut the new, electric backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving. A right heel contusion has proved to cause too much pain so he was downgraded and will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Friday. This doesn't rule him out […]

Trae Young Gashes The Suns For 36 Points

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was unstoppable against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday in a 116-107 win that moved them back to .500 on the season. The Oklahoma product posted 36 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds, and two steals on 10-for-18 shooting overall, 5-for-8 from beyond the arc, and 11-for-12 from the line. This was […]

Cole Anthony Comes Close To Triple-Double In Win

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony turned in a big game off of the bench during a 115-104 win over the first-seed Denver Nuggets. The 22-year-old finished the game with 17 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks while shooting 8-for-14 from the floor and adding one of two free throws. Anthony has experienced a […]

Dennis Schroder Posts Double-Double In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder was the beneficiary as Russell Westbrook was shipped to Utah and the new players have yet to make their debuts. Across the 34 minutes that he played, Schroder posted 25 points, 12 assists, two rebounds, and one steal while shooting 10-for-17 from the floor and 1-for-4 from deep. This […]

Donovan Mitchell And Darius Garland Will Return Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are both off of the injury report and are expected to suit up on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. They both sat out on Wednesday leaving the team very thin in the backcourt, but they'll get their star power back in time for a matchup against […]

Devonte' Graham Sent To San Antonio

The Spurs received guard Devonte' Graham (and four second-round picks) from the Pelicans on Thursday. In return, New Orleans landed Josh Richardson. Graham was traded to the Pelicans in August of 2021 after averaging 14.8 points in his final year in Charlotte. Since then, the 27-year-old has seen his production dwindle, recently averaging 5.3 points […]

Reggie Jackson Expected To Receive Buyout

Charlotte Hornets guard Reggie Jackson is not expected to suit up for his new team. The 32-year-old guard was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to Charlotte in exchange for center Mason Plumlee on Thursday. Jackson played well for the Clippers last season, but took a significant step back this season. That being said, the […]

Ricky Rubio Unavailable For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has appeared in five straight games, but he'll sit out their next contest due to injury management on his left knee. His absence shouldn't have a huge impact with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland both healthy […]

Jamal Murray Won't Play Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The star guard will miss his third game in a row due to right knee inflammation. His absence will mean that Bruce Brown gets at least one more start. He should already be rostered in most formats, but […]

Patrick Beverley On The Move To Orlando

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Patrick Beverley has been traded to the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba. This will be the 34-year-old's fourth team in three seasons and his fifth team overall. He currently has some value in deeper leagues for teams that are desperate for threes, assists, or steals. That value could take […]

Bones Hyland Traded To Clippers For Picks

Guard Bones Hyland is a fresh member of the Los Angeles Clippers after the Denver Nuggets traded him for two second-round picks. The 22-year-old will finally get to play some basketball again after being dropped from the Nuggets rotation for the past few games. He was having a decent season before falling out of favor, […]

De'Aaron Fox Posts Double-Double In Win Over Rockets

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox shined in Wednesday night's nail-biting win against the Houston Rockets. Fox ended the game with 31 points, five rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 38 minutes while shooting 11-for-23 from the field and a nearly perfect 9-for-10 from the line. Fox won the game off three late free […]

Damian Lillard Posts Big Triple-Double Against Warriors

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard had himself a night against the reigning champs as he had a triple-double in a 125-122 win on Wednesday night. The 32-year-old posted 33 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal while shooting 8-for-21 overall, 1-for-7 from three and a perfect 16-for-16 from the line. Lillard has been […]

Kyrie Irving Leads Mavericks To Win In Debut

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving debuted for his new team on Wednesday and promptly led them in scoring as they won 110-104. The 30-year-old finished the game with 24 points, four rebounds, five assists, one block, and one steal as he shot 9-for-17 from the floor and 4-for-8 from beyond the arc. While the dynamic […]

Jamal Murray Questionable Against Orlando

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. Murray has missed the last two games because of knee inflammation, leaving Bruce Brown in charge of the ball-handling duties. Brown has averaged 13.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.1 steals in 24 starts this season, so there's something […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Expected To Play Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is expected to take the court against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. The newly acquired guard appears set to make his first appearance of his second stint in Brooklyn. It's unclear whether or not Dinwiddie is going to start or come off the bench. Regardless, he'll likely have a significant […]

Mike Conley Dealt To The Timberwolves

The Timberwolves acquired guard Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker from Utah on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Lakers acquired guard D'Angelo Russell, along with Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt, on Wednesday night as part of a three-team deal.

Russell Westbrook Traded To Utah

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Utah acquired guard Russell Westbrook from the Lakers as part of a three-team trade on Wednesday night. Los Angeles will receive D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt, while Minnesota will receive Mike Conley.

Killian Hayes Moves Back Into Starting Lineup

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes has been promoted to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hayes has been in a slump and coming off the bench, but came up big last game with 17 points and nine assists in 32 minutes. This performance appears to have turned heads in the coaching […]
