Jordan Clarkson Finishes With 16 Points Off Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson delivered his usual aggressive offensive performance during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 16 points on 5-for-14 shooting. He knocked down a trio of triples, marking the first time this season he has made at least three threes in back-to-back contests. Owners certainly aren’t expecting much else […]

Collin Sexton Continues High-Volume Output

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton continued firing up shots during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-18 shooting. Make that six consecutive games for Sexton in which he has taken at least 17 shots. If usage rate is your cup of tea, there aren’t many better options that are […]

Marcus Smart Fills Stat Sheet In Start

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart was all over the board during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 12 points, seven assists, three rebounds and three steals, even adding a pair of triples as he drew the start in place of the injured Jaylen Brown. While he didn’t see the same 40-minute workload […]

Kyrie Irving Pours In 29 Points In 27 Minutes

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving filled up the scoring column during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 29 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including five made threes, across just 27 minutes of action. The slight minutes dip can be attributed to the convincing victory Boston delivered, but that didn’t seem to affect Irving’s […]

Elie Okobo To Replace Devin Booker In Starting Lineup

Phoenix Suns rookie point guard Elie Okobo will start Friday night's contest against the Magic, as shooting guard Devin Booker (toe) will not be available. Okobo playing for the first time in eight contests scored a career-high 19 points as he made eight of 12 shots against the Clippers on Wednesday. With Isaiah Canaan no […]

Spencer Dinwiddie In Starting Lineup

Brooklyn Nets point guard/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie will get the start in place of Joe Harris against the Grizzlies on Friday. The 25-year-old has played well lately, averaging 20.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists while shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from beyond the arc over the last five games. He […]

Chris Paul Expected To Be In The Lineup On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) is expected to play versus the Spurs on Friday. Paul has missed the last three games, so expect the Rockets to limit his minutes a little. Since this will be the first of back-to-back contests, it is possible that the 33-year-old will sit out Saturday's game against […]

Victor Oladipo Out Indefinitely

Indiana Pacers shooting guard/point guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is out indefinitely as his sore right knee still hampers him. The Pacers released an official announcement and only added that "further updates will be provided when warranted." Oladipo went through a 4-on-4 workout on Thursday and apparently felt some discomfort from the exercise as he did […]

Gary Harris Still Questionable for Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (ankle) did participate in shootaround, but remains questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Most likely Harris is going to be a game-time decision, so fantasy owners will have to wait until later for a better idea on his status. Torrey Craig would return to the bench if […]

Chris Paul Remains Questionable for Friday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) remains listed as questionable for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets may decide to take the cautious approach here. It sounds like Paul is closer to doubtful than actually questionable for this contest. Expect Eric Gordon […]

George Hill Unlikely to Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's been sidelined since Nov. 7, but continues to make progress. Hill shouldn't be out for too much longer, but Collin Sexton is playing well as the starter. It's unclear what kind of role Hill is going to […]

Jeremy Lin is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He did not play on Wednesday and is dealing with a left ankle issue. Kevin Huerter saw more minutes without Lin in the rotation on Wednesday. Deandre Bembry was able to see more action off the bench while Justin […]

De'Aaron Fox Posts An Excellent Line In Thursday's Loss

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox provided an excellent line, scoring 17 points on 6-for-13 shooting while adding nine dimes in Thursday's loss. Fox also managed to add two steals with a block and grabbed three rebounds with a make from three in 32 minutes of action. Fox has had some consistency issues over his […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Posts A Full Line Thursday's Win

Los Angeles Clippers guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his excellent rookie campaign, as he posted one of his best lines of the season in Thursday's win. SGA knocked down six of nine shots to score 17 points with five rebounds to go along with four assists and two steals with two blocks while knocking down a […]

Patrick Beverley's Minutes Continue To Trickle Down On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley scored just six points, playing a season-low 16 minutes in his club's win on Thursday over the Sacramento Kings. Beverley did not add much else to his line and was a team-worst minus-13 on the night. Things are not looking good for the veteran guard as his fantasy production […]

Lou Williams Scores Just 10 Points In Thursday's Win

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams struggled from the floor, connecting on just three of 10 shooting to score 10 points in Thursday's win over the Kings.

Josh Hart Scores 13 Points Off The Bench On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart connected on an efficient 6-for-7 from the floor to score 13 points while adding a rebound with two dimes and three steals while connecting on a make from three in Thursday's win. Hart had scored just eight points in his previous four outings and has serious potential if he […]

Lonzo Ball Scores In Single Digits Once Again

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball scored just two points on 1-for-6 shooting but salvaged his line with some other solid numbers in his club's win on Thursday. Ball recorded four assists with eight rebounds to go along with two blocks in 34 minutes of action. It was a good sign that he played […]

Quinn Cook Scores Eight Points

Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook scored eight points on Thursday night, adding one assist and one steal in 21 minutes. Stephen Curry (groin) is projected to make his return on Saturday, so Cook's time in the starting lineup appears to have officially come to an end. If you own him on your fantasy team, […]

Lonzo Ball To Start Versus Pacers

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) will start against the Pacers on Thursday. Ball was expected to be available all along and the team cleared him before warm-ups were over. The 21-year-old has struggled on the offensive end all month long, but he has hauled in double-digit rebounds in two of his last […]

Chris Paul Among Three Rockets Questionable For Friday

The Houston Rockets have listed point guard Chris Paul (hamstring), shooting guard Gerald Green (ankle) and center Nene Hilario (calf) as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs. Paul has missed the past three games and should be able to return either Friday or Saturday (Bulls) as the Rockets are playing back-to-backs. Green has been […]

Lonzo Ball Remains Questionable on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) went through shootaround on Thursday, but remains questionable against the Indiana Pacers. Ball is expected to play, but this is the first game of a back-to-back set. Josh Hart and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see increased playing time if Ball sits out. Fantasy owners will need to check […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He did some work at shootaround on Thursday, but was not expected to play in this game. Tyreke Evans should draw another start with Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday benefiting off the bench.

D'Angelo Russell Inefficient Against Jazz

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell shot just 24 percent from the field in Wednesday's loss to the Utah Jazz, finishing with 14 points on 6-for-25 shooting.

Zach LaVine Turns The Ball Over Just Once

Chicago Bulls point guard/shooting guard Zach LaVine poured in a team-high 24 points on 8-for-18 shooting, 2-for-6 from beyond the arc and 6-for-6 from the charity stripe in Wednesday's loss to the Bucks.
