Jeff Teague Has Been Ruled Out for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Smith has been away from the team due to a death in the family, but rejoined the Knicks on Thursday. The Knicks don't feel that Smith is ready to play yet, so he'll sit this one […]

Kemba Walker Posts Mediocre Game In Return To Charlotte

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker posted a mediocre stat-line in his return to Charlotte on Thursday evening. This was the 8th-year guard's first game played in Charlotte not wearing a Hornets jersey, and his return was nothing special despite his team picking up the win. Walker scored 14 points on 33% shooting from the field, […]

Devonte' Graham Continues To See Solid Volume

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham has been one of the biggest surprises to start the 2019 season, and he continues to see volume in the Hornets game plan as seen Thursday night.

Devin Booker's 22 Points Not Enough In Loss To Heat

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker poured in 22 points and added three rebounds with five assists in the 16-point loss to the Heat on Thursday. Booker connected on a solid six of 13 shots and is shooting a much more efficient 52.9% from the floor so far this year and this has a lot to […]

Goran Dragic Scores 25 Points In Win Over The Suns

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic saved his best for the second half as he delivered 20 of his 25 points to help secure the win over the Suns on Thursday. Dragic was efficient from the floor where he nailed nine of 16 with five of those makes coming from downtown with six boards and four […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) is expected to miss at least the next three games for the team. Simmons suffered a sprained right AC joint during Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The X-rays were negative, but he won't be re-evaluated again until Sunday. The Sixers will probably use a committee approach to fill […]

Lonzo Ball is Probable for Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He left Monday's game due to a leg cramp, so this issue is new information. However, it doesn't seem to big a huge deal and he should be fine after a day or so off. Fantasy owners […]

Justise Winslow is Listed as Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He returned from a two game absence on Tuesday, but continues to deal with lingering headaches. Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro would see more chances, assuming Winslow doesn't suit up. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer […]

Derrick Rose is Listed as Day-to-Day

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) is listed as day-to-day, so there's a chance that he suits up for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Dennis Smith Jr. Rejoins Knicks on Thursday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been sidelined since Sunday due to a death in the family.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons suffered a sprained right AC joint and managed to play just 10 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Utah Jazz.

Ja Morant Racks Up Third Straight 20-Plus Point Outing

Memphis Grizzlies point guard JA Morant may not be seeing the workload that some of his fellow Western Conference backcourt mates are early in the season, but that hasn’t stopped him from putting the ball in the hoop with a high frequency, as evidenced during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Morant played 29 minutes […]

Coby White Continues Aggressive Play Off Bench In Win

Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Coby White has been instant offense for his team early on in his rookie year, as he brought that same aggressive offensive mindset to Wednesday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks. Unfortunately, White shot 3-for-13 overall, including 1-for-7 from long range. He did finish with 10 points — his fourth double-digit scoring […]

Zach LaVine Contributes Across Stat Sheet On Quiet Night

Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Zach LaVine logged a season-low 10 points during Wednesday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, yet managed to contribute in a variety of other ways to keep his night from being a dud.

Trae Young Scuffles Mightily During Defeat

Tomas Satoransky Drops Career-High 27 Points In Brilliant Outing

Jeff Teague To Miss Wednesday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague will not be available to play in Wednesday’s contest against the Memphis Grizzlies due to illness.
