Dennis Schroder Just Misses Double-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder scored 12 points on Monday night, adding nine rebounds, six assists and one steal on 6-for-13 shooting from the floor. Schroder has been a spark off the bench for the Thunder this season, averaging 16.4 points per contest, but he has been a headache for those in nine-category leagues […]

George Hill Logs Team-High 35 Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard George Hill entered Monday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets with a 20-minute restriction on his playing time, but that plan never materialized. Instead, Hill wound up playing a team- and season-high 35 minutes, delivering six points, five rebounds and two assists. The offense has been slow to come around for Hill […]

Collin Sexton Scores 15 Points In Victory

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton went for 15 points on seven of 16 shooting during Monday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets. Sexton’s double-digit scoring performance marks his 13th consecutive such outing, but he contributed little else Monday, adding just two assists, one rebound and one steal. While a point guard in name, Sexton is […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Finishes With 18 Points In Defeat

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie bounced back from a single-digit scoring effort with 18 points during Monday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. While he wasn’t shooting as frequently as D’Angelo Russell (31 shot attempts), Dinwiddie went 6-for-14 from the field, including 4-for-11 from deep. In addition to committing just one turnover in 32 minutes, […]

D'Angelo Russell Attempts Career-High 31 Shots

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell was shooting early and often during Monday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, hoisting a career-high 31 shot attempts. He made 13 of said attempts, finishing with a monster stat line of 30 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four made triples. Without Caris Levert in the lineup, Russell has […]

Jeremy Lin Scores 14 Points In Return

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Jeremy Lin delivered 14 points off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. For Lin, it was his first game back after a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. In addition to the scoring, he added five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 24 minutes, essentially […]

Trae Young Records Seven Turnovers In Loss

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scuffled during Monday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, recording seven turnovers to just three assists across 25 minutes. Young finished with 20 points, which was his highest total in the last seven games, but went 0-for-5 from beyond the arc and didn’t contribute a rebound, steal or block. […]

Stephen Curry Drills Six Threes In 30-Point Outing

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was cooking from long range during Monday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, knocking down six three-pointers en route to a 30-point effort in just 29 minutes. Curry has poured in 57 points over his first two games back from injury, so it’s clear that there will be no […]

Evan Turner Listed As Probable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard/small forward Evan Turner is probable to make his return to the lineup Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Turner missed his first game of the season Sunday due to left Achilles inflammation, while Damian Lillard logged 41 minutes without the assistance of his back-up. A fringe fantasy commodity, Turner is shooting […]

Tyler Johnson Probable To Return Tuesday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Johnson is probable to make his return to action Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Johnson has missed the previous six games due to a right hamstring injury, and if he does suit up Tuesday, he could become quite relevant from a fantasy perspective immediately with Goran Dragic still on the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is questionable to suit up for Tuesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a right wrist sprain and mouth injury. The wrist injury earned Smith Jr. a questionable designation ahead of Sunday’s game, in which he started and logged 32 minutes and one lost tooth. J.J. […]

Luka Doncic Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic is questionable to suit up for Tuesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a right hip strain. The injury kept Doncic out of the lineup Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers, with Harrison Barnes taking on an increased offensive load in his absence. Doncic was named […]

George Hill Tagged With Minutes Restriction Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard George Hill will draw another start Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, but he still won’t be a full-go in his second game back from injury. The veteran guard will start at the off-guard spot alongside Collin Sexton and see his minutes capped around 20. Hill was sidelined for 11 games and […]

Jeremy Lin Cleared To Return Monday

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Jeremy Lin will be back in action Monday against the Golden State Warriors, having missed the previous two games due to an ankle injury. His return could slightly impact Trae Young, but Lin has proven to be a borderline fantasy option in a majority of leagues as he has seen his […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out Indefinitely

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker does not have a timetable for returning to action after exiting Sunday’s game due to a left hamstring strain. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, but this almost certainly will cost Booker multiple contests with the way the injury sounds. With T.J. […]

Isaiah Thomas Targeting A Return in December

Denver Nuggets guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) is reportedly targeting a return in December, according to Mike Singer. Neither the Nuggets or head coach Mike Malone have given a timetable on Thomas' return. Monte Morris has been playing well, so the Nuggets can afford to be patient with Thomas. It's truly unclear when Thomas will actually […]

Kyle Lowry Will Play on Monday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (back) will play in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as questionable after sitting out the last game. Fred Vanvleet will move to the bench with Lowry returning. There is no indication that Lowry will be under any minutes limit.

Mike Conley Scores 21 Points Against 76ers

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley scored 21 points on 6-for-17 shooting in Sunday's loss to the 76ers. The veteran also added five assists, two rebounds, a steal, and a block.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: A well-documented fact is that the Phoenix Suns do not have a point guard.

Damian Lillard Scores 37 Points In Sunday's Loss

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard recorded 37 points on 12-for-28 shooting while knocking down three makes from three, but it was not enough in his club's 131-118 loss to the Spurs on Sunday. Lillard managed to add two boards with 10 assists to go along with two steals and a single turnover. He […]

Kemba Walker Disappoints On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker missed all six attempts from downtown and shot a poor 5-for-16 overall in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans. He finished with only 13 points and five assists. Walker has played some MVP worthy stuff this season, but it's been a bit of a struggle for him in recent games […]

Tim Frazier Drops Nine Dimes In Pelicans Win

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Tim Frazier dished out a game-high nine assists in Sunday's 119-109 win over Charlotte. He also had a good day shooting the ball, making exactly half of his six attempts, although these weren't enough for him to get into double figures and record a double-double. Frazier has impressed in the […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Cools Off In Sunday's Defeat

Los Angeles Clippers guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cooled off after scoring in double digits in three consecutive games in his club's four-point loss on Sunday. Gilgeous-Alexander scored just eight points on 2-for-5 shooting while gathering a single rebound with a steal and a block without adding a single assist in 24 minutes. We have to expect […]

Jrue Holiday Scores 19 Points Against Hornets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday shot 7-for-13 from the field, including 1-for-4 from deep, on his way to finishing with 19 points in Sunday's win over Charlotte.

Lou Williams Scores 21 Points With Eight Assists On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams recorded 21 points and added eight assists, but it was not enough in the four-point loss to the Mavericks on Sunday. Williams connected on half of his 16 shots while adding three boards with two makes from three on the night. It was a nice surprise to see a […]

Dwyane Wade Hits Two At The Line To Secure The Win

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade knocked down two free throws to seal the game in his club's 102-100 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Wade struggled from the floor as he shot just 4-for-15 to score 15 points while adding three boards with eight assists and a steal with a block in 30 minutes […]

Donovan Mitchell Posts An Efficient Line In Sunday's Loss
