Gary Harris Ruled Out for Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Harris will miss his second straight game after being unable to play in Saturday's contest. Torrey Craig drew the start, but Malik Beasley saw more minutes. Neither player is trustworthy in fantasy right now. The other starters will […]

Russell Westbrook Records Triple-Double Against Brooklyn

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Packs Stat Sheet Across 29 Minutes

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered one of the better performances of his rookie season during Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He finished with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals, turning the ball over just once. Gilgeous-Alexander has taken remarkable care of the ball over his last four games, […]

Kyle Anderson Contributes Across Stat Sheet

Memphis Grizzlies point guard/small forward Kyle Anderson delivered a strong showing during Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes. It marks the third straight game in which Anderson saw fewer than 30 minutes, so that’s something to keep an eye on, but it […]

Mike Conley Drops Team-High 22 Points

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley led the way offensively Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with 22 points on 9-for-16 shooting. He was all over the stat sheet, adding seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks, while bringing his scoring average up to 21.1 per game, which has him on pace […]

Jalen Brunson Records Career-High Seven Assists

Dallas Mavericks point guard Jalen Brunson took full advantage of both the absence of Dennis Smith Jr. and the blowout nature of Wednesday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Logging 25 minutes of court time, Brunson scored 11 points and set a new career high with seven assists without recording a turnover. This was a […]

J.J. Barea Scores 14 Points In 18 Minutes Off Bench

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea had another strong showing Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting in just 18 minutes off the bench. Barea also added four assists, two rebounds and two steals, packing the stat sheet in his abbreviated run on the court. With Dennis Smith Jr. missing […]

Luka Doncic Scuffles From Field In Loss

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic was held to 2-for-8 shooting overall in Wednesday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Doncic finished with eight points, six assists and four rebounds in a season-low 22 minutes. His performance marks just his second single-digit scoring performance, albeit his second in his last three games. Doncic missed […]

Tim Frazier Continues Dishing Out Assists

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Tim Frazier logged just 23 minutes in his start during Wednesday’s victory over the Dallas Mavericks, but he packed the stat sheet with eight points, seven assists and six rebounds in that span. While his minutes took a bit of a dip, he is averaging 8.2 assists over his last […]

Jrue Holiday Drops 17 Points In Win

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Jrue Holiday helped key his team to a victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday with 17 points and eight assists, while also tying his season high with four steals. It has been a career year for the 28-year-old who is on pace not only for a new career high […]

Jamal Murray Scores 31 Points In Overtime Win

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray ended up logging 46 minutes in Wednesday's overtime win against Orlando, and he finished as the team's leading scorer with 31 points. His shooting numbers looked ugly at 10-for-25, but he did a good job from deep with 2-for-3 and missed only two of 11 attempts on the line. […]

Tomas Satoransky Has Best Game Of The Season

Washington Wizards guard Tomas Satoransky set multiple season highs on Wednesday with 14 points, seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block in 38 minutes. John Wall (personal) was out for the game due to personal reasons, and Satoransky was able to provide a boost to a Wizards team that has now won three […]

Jeremy Lin Leaves Wednesday's Game With A Back Strain

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) was only able to play four minutes on Wednesday before leaving the contest due to a lower back strain. The severity of the injury is still not known, but it is terrible news for the Hawks, who are already without Taurean Prince (ankle). Atlanta's next game is on Saturday […]

Bryn Forbes With Another Off Night

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes only managed two points, three rebounds and no assists in Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Forbes' scoring has been on a downward trend, as his last double-figure game was three games ago against the Rockets, and that was just 10 points. The third-year player has performed above the Spurs […]

Reggie Jackson Snatches Season-High Seven Rebounds

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson finished Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks with 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting in just 24 minutes. But he also added a season-high seven rebounds to go along with five assists, giving him one of his best all-around games of the year. Jackson has finished in single figures of […]

Langston Galloway Quiet In First Start Of Season

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Langston Galloway made his first start of the season during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in place of Reggie Bullock (ankle). Despite getting the nod, Galloway played just 23 minutes and finished with five points on 2-for-5 shooting. It was a wholly disappointing night for DFS owners who were banking […]

Eric Bledsoe Ties Season High With 27 Points

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe set his season high with 27 points Saturday against the New York Knicks and he wasted little time in tying that mark, doing so again in Wednesday’s win over the Detroit Pistons in just 26 minutes. Bledsoe was aggressive from the jump, getting up 17 shots despite his abbreviated […]

Malcolm Brogdon Logs Season-Low 21 Minutes

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon was needed for just 21 minutes during Wednesday’s win over the Detroit Pistons. Even with his stunted playing time, Brogdon still delivered 14 points and six rebounds to go along with a pair of made threes. His next match-up comes against the Golden State Warriors on Friday, whom he […]

Kemba Walker Held To 15 Points In Defeat

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker was relatively quiet during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-16 shooting in 30 minutes of action. It’s the second straight quiet showing from Walker, who is struggling mightily from three over his last four contests (3-for-23). Walker entered the night with the second […]

Derrick Rose Goes For 16 Points Off Bench

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose delivered 16 points off the bench during Wednesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets. Rose was the only member of the Minnesota bench to finish in double figures, putting up 15 shots after his scoreless clunker against Houston on Monday. Rose has been a fairly reliable fantasy commodity this season, […]

Jeff Teague Dishes Out Career-High 18 Assists

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague set a new career high during Wednesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets with 18 assists across his 34 minutes. Teague scored just three points, but did a masterful job setting up Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins for massive scoring performances. Through play Wednesday, Teague is on pace for a […]

Ish Smith Won't Return Against Bucks

Detroit Pistons reserve point guard Ish Smith (groin) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Bucks. Smith strained his right groin during the third quarter of the game and struggled mightily in his attempt to return to the locker room. With Reggie Bullock (ankle) unavailable, expect Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard will get some […]

Stephen Curry Drops 42 Points On Cleveland

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry showed he's completely recovered from his injury in a blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday. Curry posted a huge line of 42 points on 11-for-20 from the field, nine three-pointers, nine rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes. Curry has increased his point total in each consecutive game […]

Collin Sexton Scores 21 Points Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton led the team in scoring Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Sexton scored 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting including three three-pointers in 35 minutes, but not much else. Sexton has been a volume shooter while in the starting lineup with little contributions in assists and any other peripheral […]

Jeremy Lin Suffers Back Injury, Will Not Return

Atlanta Hawks reserve point guard Jeremy Lin (back) suffered a lower back injury with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Wizards and will not return. While it's unclear the severity of the injury at this point in time, the injury is bad news for the Hawks, who were already without […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out Wednesday With Wrist Injury

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) will not play Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Smith has been dealing with a sore wrist over the past week and was questionable coming into Wednesday, but does not feel healthy enough to go. With Smith out, Dorian Finney-Smith figures to rejoin the starting lineup while […]

Victor Oladipo Misses Wednesday's Practice

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Oladipo has been increasing his activity and has been cleared for full contact work. However, it doesn't sound like he's fully ready for game action yet. Tyreke Evans is expected to continue drawing starts. Darren Collison and Cory Joseph will play more as […]

John Wall is Ruled Out on Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Wall is leaving the team due to the birth of his child. He is expected to return for Saturday's contest versus Cleveland. Austin Rivers is likely going to draw the start, while Tomas Satoransky should see more […]

Damian Lillard Scores 33 Points Against Dallas

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard disappointed with his shooting on Tuesday against Dallas, going 2-for-8 from downtown and 10-for-23 overall from the field, but he was busy on the charity stripe and ended up with 33 points. He also flirted with a triple-double, collecting eight rebounds and eight assists. Portland have been losing […]
