Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart returned from a two-game absence with a very good performance on Friday against Phoenix, shooting 10-for-18 from the field to notch a season-high 24 points with nine rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes on the court. Smart usually doesn't have a big offensive role, but the team is currently […]

Kemba Walker A Late Scratch On Friday

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was expected to start and have a big role with Julius Randle out due to COVID-19 protocols. However, Walker will be a late scratch due to left knee soreness. Instead, Evan Fournier will move into […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Available Against Lakers

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. is available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Smith has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is allowed to return to the court. That being said, he could have an increased role due to the fact Anfernee Simons is in protocols. He won't see enough minutes to warrant […]

Reggie Jackson Set To Return In A Big Role

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Reggie Jackson will be back in the lineup on Friday against Toronto and we'll see a lot of him. Clippers assistant coach Brian Shaw has said that Jackson will play as much as possible. Jackson has missed four games because of health and safety protocols. His absence has allowed Eric […]

Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry Active On Friday

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) and point guard Kyle Lowry are available to play on Friday against Houston. They should be ready to put in a big shift as well, with Miami still short some personnel. Butler was ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against San Antonio, but the game ended up getting postponed […]

Frank Ntilikina Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (thigh) won't be available for Friday's contest against Sacramento. The Mavericks are without a number of players and have suffered another blow here.

Rajon Rondo Traded To Cavaliers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for forward Denzel Valentine. The Cavs desperately needed another guard with Ricky Rubio (knee) done for the season. Also, Darius Garland currently in COVID-19 protocols. Rondo wasn't making much noise in Los Angeles, but should have a bigger role in […]

Jrue Holiday Has A Busy Night Against Magic

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday missed only three shots while popping up everywhere and finishing Thursday's win against Orlando with 25 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks. He went 8-for-11 from the field and had a 3-for-4 record from deep with a perfect 6-for-6 effort at the foul line. Lineup […]

Isaiah Thomas Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

Dallas Mavericks guard Isaiah Thomas has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This happens one day after Thomas signed a 10-day deal with the organization. He scored six points with four assists in 13 minutes during his Mavericks debut on Wednesday. He'll now join a long list of Mavericks players in protocols. Honestly, it's […]

Anfernee Simons Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons has entered the league's health and safety protocols. At first glance, the loss of Simons might not seem too significant. Although, he has been a consistent and capable option off the bench for Portland this season. His absence means Damian Lillard and Norman Powell are likely to take on […]

Reggie Jackson Uncertain For Friday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He cleared the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols ahead of Wednesday's game. However, Jackson sat out due to lack of conditioning, so hopefully he can suit up on Friday. He would immediately slide into the starting five, […]

Dennis Schroder Ruled Out For Friday

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He recently cleared COVID-19 protocols, but is headed right back into it. Luckily, Marcus Smart (hand) is no longer of the injury report and will see an extended role with Schroder sidelined. Smart will be a must-have option and […]

Shake Milton Available For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The young guard has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is allowed to return to action. Actually, Milton cleared COVID-19 protocols a few days ago, but has been building up his conditioning. His return could mean a slight decrease […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Not Available Against The Cavs

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will not be available against the Cavaliers. Fortunately, Bradley Beal is back after a three-game absence because of the same designation, and with Raul Neto on the protocols' list as well, he should handle most of the ball-handling duties versus Cleveland on […]

Malcolm Brogdon Lands In COVID-19 Protocols

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. He can't seem to catch a break since he was already dealing with an Achilles injury. Hopefully, this time off will give Brogdon enough time to heal his Achilles issue. He'll join Chris Duarte and Jeremy Lamb in protocols, so […]

Frank Jackson Out At Least One Week

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (ankle) was forced out of action early during Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He suffered a right ankle injury and will be re-evaluated in roughly 7-10 days. This is a tough blow to Detroit who is already without a bunch of their playmakers. Cory Joseph should see increased […]

Russell Westbrook Gets His Third Consecutive Triple-Double

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook found a way to post a third consecutive triple-double despite the team suffering another loss on Wednesday against Memphis. He notched 16 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added 10 rebounds and 12 assists with five turnovers in 40 minutes. Russ boasts a league-high eight triple-doubles for the season […]

Terry Rozier Scores Season-High 35 Points

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier went off for a season-high 35 points in Wednesday's victory over Indiana, shooting 13-for-23 from the field and 5-for-9 from downtown. He grabbed seven boards, had three assists with zero turnovers, and came up with two steals and two blocks on the defensive end. This was a superb performance all […]

Cassius Stanley Finishes Second Half

Detroit Pistons guard Cassius Stanley started during the second half of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Frank Jackson (ankle) suffered an injury in the first half and was unable to continue. Stanley is currently on a 10-day deal with Detroit. He finished with four points, four rebounds, and four steals during Wednesday's contest. […]

Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) and guard Kyle Lowry are expected to play during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Both players were listed as out heading into Wednesday's game, which ended up getting postponed.

Isaiah Thomas Available On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Isaiah Thomas is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was just signed to a 10-day deal after Brandon Knight went into protocols earlier on Wednesday. Thomas was playing decent on the Los Angeles Lakers, so maybe he can make some noise in Dallas. The Mavericks don't exactly have many […]

Frank Jackson Exits Early On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (ankle) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He appeared to have suffered a right ankle injury during the second quarter. The Pistons already have a bunch of injuries, so hopefully this isn't anything significant. Cory Joseph, Justin Robinson, and Cassius Stanley should all […]

Davion Mitchell Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both Mitchell and Alex Len will be available for this contest. However, the majority of the Kings roster is healthy, which hurts the value of these two players. Len won't be on the fantasy radar, while […]

Ty Jerome Moves Into Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ty Jerome will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He will replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) who hopefully won't miss too much time. The Thunder haven't won a game when Gilgeous-Alexander sits out. Regardless, Jerome will start alongside Luguentz Dort, Paul Watson, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah […]

Elfrid Payton Won't Play Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Payton is back in protocols after coming back on Monday. He didn't exactly have a huge role when healthy anyway. Cameron Payne will see more minutes in his absence. He could be a low-end streaming option, but there […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Suns due to a sore right ankle.

Boban Marjanovic, Brandon Knight Land In COVID Protocols

Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic and point/shooting guard Brandon Knight have become the latest members of their team to join the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely.
