Tony Parker To Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker will be sidelined for Wednesday’s outing against the Dallas Mavericks due to a back strain. Parker was forced to leave Tuesday’s game early, so his inability to make a turnaround just 24 hours later isn’t all that surprising. In his stead, Kemba Walker could see a few extra minutes […]

Tyler Johnson Has Been Traded to Phoenix

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson has been traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson. This is clearly a salary swap move, but Johnson is the better player, so it hurts the Heat. The Suns desperately need guard help, so Johnson should be able to easily play 30 minutes in Phoenix. He needs […]

Trey Burke Should Be Available on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He will make his team debut, but should remain left on the waiver wire for the moment. Head coach Rick Carlisle will likely have Burke come off the bench at first. He'll compete with Jalen Brunson for playing […]

Jamal Murray is Questionable on Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is getting closer to a return, but remains listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to head coach Mike Malone. Monte Morris would lose minutes and value with Murray back on the court. Fantasy owners are going to need to check back closer to game […]

Kyrie Irving Will Play Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving has missed three of the last five games due to a left hip injury, but is expected to return on Thursday. Terry Rozier will head back to the bench with Irving back in action against the Lakers.

Russell Westbrook Finishes With Seventh Straight Triple-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook may have been slow to integrate the triple-double into his game in 2018-19, but it appears there is no looking back for the MVP candidate who logged his seventh consecutive triple-double during Tuesday’s win over the Orlando Magic. Westbrook not only leads the league by a considerable margin […]

Ben Simmons Logs Season-High 44 Minutes In Defeat

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/small forward Ben Simmons continued his recent trend of an increased workload during Tuesday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors, recording a season-high 44 minutes. Simmons hit the 20-point mark for the third straight game, adding seven rebounds, six assists and three steals, but also recorded six or more turnovers for the 10th […]

Kyle Lowry Ties Season High With Five Triples During Win

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry was originally doubtful to suit up for Tuesday’s victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, but he took the floor and ultimately tied his season high with five made threes. Lowry logged 35 minutes and recorded 20 points, six assists and two steals, despite trade rumors swirling. Owners can assume that […]

Mike Conley Knocks Down Six Triples In Victory

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley delivered his fifth consecutive 20-plus-point outing during Tuesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, knocking down six triples in the process. Conley has been scorching hot as of late, and with the late scratch of Marc Gasol due to trade rumors, Conley took on a bigger offensive role and thrived. […]

Jordan Clarkson Goes Ice-Cold During Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson couldn’t get into rhythm from the field during Tuesday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing 2-for-13 overall, including 1-for-7 from three-point range. Clarkson figures to continue seeing his usual volume of offensive looks with Rodney Hood having been dealt to Portland, so owners can chalk up his performance versus […]

Collin Sexton Drills Trio Of Threes En Route To 27 Points

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton tied his career high with three made triples during Tuesday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, which saw him finish with 27 points. The 24 shot attempts (11 of which were made) that Sexton put up set a new career-best, taking on expanded offensive duties with Rodney Hood having been […]

Kemba Walker's 32 Points Not Enough On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored 32 points on 11-for-23 shooting on Tuesday against the Clippers, but it wasn't enough to stretch a home winning streak to six games. Backcourt mate Jeremy Lamb also had a nice outing with 22 points. Kemba played 39 minutes without a single turnover, handing out nine assists and […]

Landry Shamet Acquired By Clippers

Point/shooting guard Landry Shamet was the key piece snagged by the Los Angeles Clippers in a deal that sent Tobias Harris to the Philadelphia 76ers, which was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Shamet will be joined by Wilson Chandler and Mike Muscala out in LA, leaving a likely playoff-bound Sixers club for a […]

Lou Williams Goes For 31 Points Versus Charlotte

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams cooked up another impressive scoring display on Tuesday, notching 31 points in 32 minutes against Charlotte. The team had an amazing night from deep and so did Williams, who shot 5-for-6 from downtown. He was 10-for-23 overall from the field, adding six assists, three rebounds and one block to […]

Damian Lillard Records Double-Double

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard scored 13 points and had a team-high 10 assists on Tuesday against the Heat. The four-time All-Star continues to show elite status in all formats and he will be in line for another excellent performance on Thursday against San Antonio.

Dennis Smith Jr. Explodes For 25 Points Tuesday

Newly acquired New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. took over New York's offense Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons. Smith scored 25 points on 11-for-25 shooting while adding six rebounds, five assists, and two three-pointers in 39 minutes. Smith took a huge step up from his eight point debut in a Knicks jersey on […]

Tony Parker Exits Early Due To Injury

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker left Tuesday’s contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers early due to a back strain and was unable to return. Parker logged nine minutes off the bench, finishing with four points on 2-for-5 shooting. Without Parker in the fold, Kemba Walker logged a heavier load, which would likely be the […]

Raul Neto In Line To Make Return Wednesday

Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto will likely get back into the fold for Wednesday’s contest versus the Phoenix Suns. Neto has been out since Jan. 9 due to a left groin strain, and his return will allow him to back up Ricky Rubio, thus freeing up Donovan Mitchell to play off the ball. Despite […]

Elfrid Payton To Miss Fifth Straight Contest

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday’s contest versus the Chicago Bulls due to a right ankle sprain. His absence will be his fifth consecutive game on the bench, paving the way for Frank Jackson to continue seeing increased minutes, although Ian Clark shone during Monday’s loss. Jrue […]

Jamal Murray Questionable To Make Return Wednesday

Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s match-up versus the Brooklyn Nets due to a left ankle sprain that has kept him out for the previous six games. Should Murray continue to sit out, Monte Morris will have immense fantasy value. Just how quickly Murray is reintegrated into the Denver […]

Kris Dunn Will Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (pelvis) was able to fully practice on Tuesday and will play in Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Dunn didn't practice on Monday due to a bruised pelvis, but it's apparently not significant enough to hold him out of action.

Ish Smith is Sidelined Again on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin, rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Smith missed 19 games in December due to the issue and now is out six more games. He played the last two games, but it appears he's going to rest on Tuesday. Jose Calderon will soak […]

Kyle Lowry Will Play on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) will play in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Lowry was listed as doubtful on Monday after he missed practice and didn't play in Sunday's contest. Lowry did say he could've played on Sunday, but decided to take the cautious approach. Fred Vanvleet would return to the bench if […]

John Wall is Likely Sidelined 12 Months

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (Achilles) is expected to miss roughly 12 months after undergoing surgery to repair his left Achilles tendon. It sounds like Wall is going to be out for a full calendar year, so there's a chance he doesn't return until possibly after the 2020 All-Star break. Wall is most likely […]

D'Angelo Russell Held In Check During Loss

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell finished with 18 points on 7-for-20 shooting during Monday’s defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks. The outing marks just the second time in the past nine games that Russell has been kept under 20 points, having seen his offensive role expand with Spencer Dinwiddie in street clothes. Monday’s performance can […]

Shabazz Napier Goes Ice-Cold From Deep During Start

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier entered the starting lineup for Monday’s contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks due to an injury to Joe Harris and finished with 15 points despite going 0-for-10 from three-point range. It wasn’t just Napier, as Brooklyn as a squad went a combined 5-for-42 (11.9 percent) from deep. For owners who […]

Jrue Holiday Narrowly Misses Triple-Double During Defeat

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Jrue Holiday came just an assist shy of converting his first triple-double of the season Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Holiday, who is likely to become the new face of the New Orleans franchise amidst rumors of Anthony Davis’ departure, attempted to lead the offense Monday, shooting 6-for-15 from the […]

Darren Collison Drops 22 Points During Win

Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison delivered his second straight game with at least 20 points during Monday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Without Victor Oladipo in the fold, Collison has expanded his offensive arsenal, getting up 14 shot attempts in each of the past two contests. He added six assists with no turnovers […]

Trae Young Secures Double-Double In Victory

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young picked up his 14th double-double of the season during Monday’s win over the Washington Wizards despite a poor shooting outing. Young finished with 10 points on 2-for-13 shooting, including a 1-for-6 effort from deep. His stat line was bailed out by his 10 dimes, as well as the four […]

Monte Morris Continues To Shine In Starting Role

Denver Nuggets point guard Monte Morris remained in the starting lineup for Monday’s loss to the Detroit Pistons, logging a game-high 34 minutes en route to finishing with 18 points, three assists and two rebounds. Morris has settled into the starting point guard spot with Jamal Murray sidelined, as in his last four starts, Morris […]
