Malcolm Brogdon To Miss Fifth Straight Game Friday

Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon has been ruled out for Friday’s contest versus the Chicago Bulls due to strep throat.

Brogdon’s breakout 2019-20 has been […]

Justise Winslow Suffers Setback

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He returned on Wednesday after missing the last 15 games.

D'Angelo Russell is Ruled Out on Friday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Derrick Rose Scores 27 Points In Losing Effort

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose scored 27 points with seven rebounds and five assists in a 115-112 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rose has been playing excellent basketball lately, though if there's anything to complain about, it's his six turnovers. Still, the former Memphis star has averaged 31 minutes, 25.3 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, […]

Collin Sexton Fills Up Box Score Against Pistons

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton tallied 19 points, six rebounds, two steals, two blocks, an assist, and a triple in a 115-112 win over the Detroit Pistons.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul provided a full line against his former team, the Houston Rockets, on Thursday. Paul scored 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting while draining three triples and handed out five assists with just a single turnover in 28 minutes of action. Paul got a little revenge on his former club. Paul's […]

Russell Westbrook Scores 34 Points In Return To OKC

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook put up 34 points but committed seven turnovers in the 113-92 loss to his former squad. Westbrook connected on an efficient 14 of 26 shooting overall, but his supporting numbers were nothing special as he added just five assists with only two rebounds and zero defensive numbers. The Thunder crowd […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins needed just 28 minutes to score a team-high 23 points while handing out eight assists in the easy win over the Trail Blazers on Thursday.

Marcus Smart Scores Season-High 24 Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart came off the bench and scored a season-high 24 points on Thursday night. In the 109-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Smart was one of the few bright spots for the Celtics. Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for only 29 points, so Smart picked up the slack for […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Unable to Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He did get up some shots after practice, but was reportedly unable to jump. It seems unlikely that Bogdanovic will be out there for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Trevor Ariza should continue to absorb extra playing time. He's worth […]

Avery Bradley Might Sit On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bradley was not able to finish Thursday's practice after experiencing a fever. He will travel with the team, but we'll see if Bradley actually plays. Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see more minutes if […]

Stephen Curry Should Be Re-Evaluated in January

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) was able to go through some shooting drills on Thursday. It's good news, but the Warriors aren't in any rush to bring Curry back to the court. He's expected to be re-evaluated in two or three weeks. There's a chance that Curry gets back on the court around […]

D'Angelo Russell Returns to Practice

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He hasn't played since December 28 due to a bruised right shoulder.

D.J. Augustin Ties Career High With 13 Free-Throw Attempts

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin slashed his way to 18 points against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. Augustin did not have an efficient shooting night (3-for-9 on field goals) but was able to get to the line all night and made 10 of his 13 free-throw attempts. They were his most attempts from […]

Bradley Beal Will Not Play Against Magic

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) will sit Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Beal was a game-time decision as he continues to deal with leg soreness, but will not make his long awaited return to the court. Jordan McRae and Ish Smith continue to be the biggest benefactors here along with Garrison Mathews.

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. This will mark the fourth straight game that Brogdon has missed due to back issues. There's some hope that he'll be able to play this weekend, but we'll see how he progresses. Aaron Holiday and T.J. McConnell will […]

Justise Winslow is Back on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. However, he's missed the last 15 games, so he'll be eased back into action here. Fantasy owners should expect minutes in the teens from Winslow here. Goran Dragic, Kendrick Nunn, and Tyler Herro could lose some value from the return […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He continues to deal with his bruised left elbow and could be sidelined for a few more games. Holiday said his elbow is swelling and it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up for the back-to-back […]

Kemba Walker Will Be On Minutes Limit

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) is returning to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's missed each of the last three games while battling an illness. He should be inserted back into the starting five, but will be on a minutes limit Wednesday. Marcus Smart will head back to […]

Fred Vanvleet is Listed as Out for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Vanvleet is going to be out for a little while. Fantasy owners can expect Vanvleet to sit out the next couple of games. Terence Davis, Patrick McCaw, and Matt Thomas will gain […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Might Play on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's missed the last two weeks due to an oblique issue. Frank Ntilikina and Elfrid Payton are in the rotation as well, so Smith won't have a huge role when healthy. He'll likely only see minutes […]

Victor Oladipo is Expected to Return in Late January

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee, quad) is targeting a return for a home matchup against the Chicago Bulls on January 29. He hasn't played in a year, so the Pacers are going to be cautious with Oladipo. He's worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but it'll take time for him to […]

Mike Conley Was Active During Shootaround

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) was seen active during Wednesday's shootaround. He won't play in Wednesday's contest, but it appears he's making progress towards a return. Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson will continue to pick up more minutes until Conley returns. Ingles has been a reliable fantasy asset most games. Conley remains without a […]

Elfrid Payton Has Busy Night Against Lakers

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton did a bit of everything on Tuesday against the Lakers, finishing a 117-87 loss with 12 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block. He sadly also had five turnovers, but at least he also enjoyed a good shooting night with a 6-for-9 record from the […]

RJ Barrett Scores Team-High 19 Points

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett led the team with 19 points in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, shooting 9-for-19 from the field and adding five rebounds. The 19-year-old rookie has been very inconsistent during his first campaign, but he's now managed two consecutive good scoring performances. Chances of a third one on Wednesday aren't […]
