All of his […]

Rajon Rondo, Austin Reaves Unavailable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) and shooting guard Austin Reaves (hamstring) will both be sidelined for Wednesday's contest against Miami. Rondo has proven to be a pass-first option in the Lakers' second unit, having scored just two points combined over his last three games. Conversely, Reaves has primarily been a score-first option […]

Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro Cleared To Play Wednesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (back) have both been given the green light to suit up Wednesday against the Lakers. Adebayo is coming off his sixth double-double of the season Monday, but he did shoot a season-low 30 percent in that contest. Herro continues to be a second-unit dynamo […]

Monte Morris Cleared To Suit Up Wednesday

Denver Nuggets point guard Monte Morris (knee) has been given the green light to take the floor Wednesday against Indiana. Morris was deemed probable coming into the day, so the decision comes with little surprise.

Tobias Harris, Seth Curry Questionable Thursday

The Philadelphia 76ers could get two valuable pieces to their rotation, Tobias Harris and Seth Curry (foot), back in the lineup Thursday against the Raptors. Harris has missed the past six games while in quarantine after a positive COVID test, though head coach Doc Rivers had said that he would be returning soon- and his […]

Tyrese Haliburton Won't Play Against Spurs

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) won't play Wednesday against the Spurs. Haliburton is dealing with back tightness, which forced him to miss Monday's game, though it doesn't sound like something that will cause an extended absence. Buddy Hield and Davion Mitchell should see more opportunities with Haliburton out. A member of the starting five […]

Malcolm Brogdon Suiting Up Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness), listed as questionable, will return to the action Wednesday against the Nuggets. It's nice to get the official word in on Brogdon well before tip-off. The Virginia product is averaging 22.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game while playing a career-high 36.8 minutes per contest. Fantasy managers […]

Monte Morris Probable Against Pacers

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was tagged as probable on Monday as well and played 30 minutes in that contest. It's uncertain if the Nuggets are going to push him that high again here. Morris finished with 14 points on Monday and […]

Coby White Expected To Return Soon

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (shoulder) mentioned that he is back to normal practicing and should return soon. The young guard has not played this season while recovering from a shoulder injury. The Bulls have an upcoming five game road trip, so White could potentially return during that. He'd likely be eased back into things, […]

Reggie Jackson Scores 23 Points With Six Dimes

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson showcased some better efficiency in Tuesday's win over Portland. Jackson shot 38.9 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from deep his last time out but improved upon those marks, connecting on 10 of 20 shot attempts while draining 3 of 5 threes. The Boston College product has averaged […]

Damian Lillard Drops Game-High 27 Points In Tuesday's Loss

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard posted his second straight game with 25-plus points in Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. Lillard connected on 11 of 23 shot attempts while making four treys, though his inefficiencies from beyond the arc continued, as he made just 4 of 13 attempts from that distance. The star guard has […]

Tyrese Maxey Enjoys 31-Point Night Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey had a great night against the Bucks on Tuesday, scoring a team-high 31 points in a 118-109 loss.

Trae Young Continues Three-Point Shooting Uptick

In a 110-98 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young couldn't do enough to prevent his team from losing their fifth game in a row.

Tyler Herro, P.J. Tucker Earn Questionable Tags For Wednesday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (back) and power forward P.J. Tucker (shoulder) have both been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the Lakers. Herro has proven to be a consistent scoring dynamo in his role as the top scoring option off the bench for Miami, while Tucker has brought his trademark tenacity […]

Tyrese Haliburton Questionable For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The young guard was held out of Monday's game due to back tightness. That forced Buddy Hield into the starting five and gave Davion Mitchell increased usage. Both players are worth a look as DFS options, assuming […]

Seth Curry Ruled Out Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Sixers are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. That means, Danny Green and Shake Milton will have tremendous upside. Also, Andre Drummond is in line for a huge game. The hope is that this is […]

Mike Conley Will Play Against Hawks

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Jazz remain cautious with their veterans, but Conley will return for this one. His return will mean less usage and minutes for Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson. Also, Donovan Mitchell won't be handling […]

Seth Curry Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is not good news with the Sixers already missing a handful of players due to health and safety guidelines. Curry would be asked to carry a heavier load on offense, assuming he plays. Otherwise, Danny Green, Shake […]

He shot 10-for-24 from the field with a 10-for-12 mark at the line and nailed three treys on […]

Trae Young Scores Efficient 28 points

On a night where Stephen Curry had 50 points, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young did his best to keep up, but it wasn't enough in a blowout loss. The 23-year-old wasn't all that close to the two-time MVP, but he shot the ball well and seems to be turning a corner in that regard. In […]
