Cade Cunningham Struggles With Shot Once Again

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham struggled mightily in Tuesday's 117-89 loss to Milwaukee. Cunningham scored just six points on 2-for-14 shooting, including 0 of 9 on his three-point attempts, adding three assists and two rebounds in 29 minutes.

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Russell was limited to just 17 minutes after injuring his ankle Monday- and won't be healthy enough to suit up for the upcoming contest. Russell's absence should mean more ball-handling opportunities for Jordan McLaughlin and Malik Beasley- though much of the starting […]

Coby White Beginning To Take Contact

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (shoulder) has begun taking contact during workouts, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He still has no timetable for a return from surgery to repair a torn left labrum. This is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't sound like White is anywhere close to ready. There should […]

Trae Young Scores 26 Points In Monday's Win

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored a game-high 26 points in the team's win over the Washington Wizards on Monday. He shot 7-for-16 from the field and was a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw strike. He hit one of his six three-point attempts and also added six rebounds, four assists and a steal […]

Cole Anthony Fills Up The Box Score In Victory

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony enjoyed a standout performance in Monday's victory over the Timberwolves. Anthony dropped a season-high 31 points to help lead Orlando to a win, scoring 14 in the final period to put the game away.

He was 3-for-10 with the three-ball and collected six rebounds with five assists and one turnover […]

Derrick White Records 13 Points, Seven Assists Versus Pacers

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White finished Monday's blowout loss to Indiana with 13 points and seven assists, shooting 4-for-10 from the field and 3-for-5 from downtown. He didn't commit a single turnover in 27 minutes of action, but the starters had a miserable night and thus White ended up with an ugly minus-23 rating. […]

T.J. McConnell Records A Double-Double Monday Night

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell picked up a double-double in Monday's big win over San Antonio, going for 10 points on 5-for-7 shooting and delivering 10 assists.

Fred VanVleet Fills Up The Box Score

On Monday in a 113-104 win over New York, Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet remained integral to steering the ship as the Raptors moved to 5-3 on the year. It was another heavy workload for FVV, as he played at least 37 minutes for the seventh straight contest. He came away with 17 points, nine […]

Cameron Payne Won't Play Against New Orleans

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) won't play on Tuesday night against the Pelicans. The 27-year-old continues to be bothered by a strain in his right hamstring, an ailment that will now force him to miss his fourth consecutive contest. In the meantime, Landry Shamet should continue to enjoy some extra minutes. However, he isn't […]

Jrue Holiday Set To Miss Another One On Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) is out for Tuesday's divisional showdown against Detroit. This will mark the veteran's fifth straight absence and sixth of the year as he continues to be burdened by a sprained left ankle. His next chance to suit up will come on Friday night against the visiting New York Knicks, […]

Grayson Allen Likely Good To Go On Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday night's affair against the Pistons. Allen is currently dealing with soreness in his right knee.

D'Angelo Russell Injured On Monday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) was injured during Monday's matchup against the Magic. The 25-year-old sprained his right ankle during the first half and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Patrick Beverley Won't Play Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) will not play in Monday's game against the Magic. Beverley- who was a game-time decision after injuring his left calf on Saturday against Denver- was not deemed healthy enough to suit up for the contest with Orlando. The veteran guard's absence should free up added minutes in the backcourt […]

Ja Morant Suiting Up Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (elbow), listed as questionable, is good to go for Monday's game against Denver. Morant took a hard fall against the Heat but went through his pregame routine without a setback, so he should be a full go against the Nuggets. Morant is tied for first in the league in scoring […]

Patrick Beverley Appears On Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran guard appears to be dealing with some minor calf soreness. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Wolves play it safe and give Beverley the night off. Malik Beasley and Josh Okogie could be asked to […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Play In Back-To-Back Sets

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) won't play in back-to-back sets, according to head coach Dwane Casey. The organization wants to be cautious with their prized guard who missed basically a month of action. This is certainly frustrating news for fantasy managers, but hopefully this is only a short term plan for Cunningham. In the […]

Damian Lillard Records Third Double-Double Of Season

The shot is not falling for Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard right now. However, like all of the best players do, he is still finding a way to contribute to his team. In a 125-113 loss to Charlotte, the 31-year old guard had 14 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds, but the shooting struggles […]

LaMelo Ball Bounces Back With Solid Sunday

In a 125-113 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball bounced back from two poor performances to finish Week 2 with a flurry.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic contributed all over the box score in a 105-99 win against the Sacramento Kings, but his shooting struggles continued for another game. In 35 minutes, Doncic produced 23 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, a steal, and a block but was 10-for-21 from the floor and 1-for-7 from three. The Slovenian […]

De'Aaron Fox Continues Quiet Start To New Season

In a 105-99 loss to Dallas, Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox continued his puzzling start to the 2021-22 NBA season. On Sunday, the 23-year old recorded 14 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and one three-pointer in a season-high 39 minutes. It feels like fantasy managers have been waiting several years for Fox to make the […]

Russell Westbrook Racks Up 20 Points And Nine Assists

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook flirted with a triple-double in the team's 95-85 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
