Zach LaVine Won't Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (rest) will not play against the Washington Wizards on Saturday. LaVine scored 35 points in the victory over the Timberwolves on Friday. However, the Bulls do not want LaVine playing in back-to-back sets. He's averaging 17.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9 triples through 12 games this season. He […]

Kyrie Irving Scores 21 Points In Loss

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving was one of the few effective Celtics in a tough loss to the Pacers. He scored 21 points and dished five assists, though he contributed to the team’s poor shooting from deep where he shot 2-for-7. Since Irving’s return from a brief injury stint, the Celtics have sandwiched an […]

Chris Paul Logs Only 22 Minutes in Rockets Win

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul played only 22 minutes on Friday in a 130-104 win over Denver. He missed all four of his treys but still managed to score in double figures with 11 points, shooting 3-for-8 and being perfect from the line with his five attempts. Paul also had seven assists and two […]

James Harden Scores 28 Points in 27 Minutes

Houston Rockets guard James Harden played only 27 minutes in Friday's blowout win over Denver, but still managed to score 28 points. He went 5-for-11 from behind the arc, 9-for-11 from the free throw line and shot 7-for-16 overall. Harden also had 11 assists and seven rebounds in what was another superb fantasy line. He'll […]

Avery Bradley With Season-High Eight Rebounds

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley finished with a near double-double (10 points and eight rebounds) in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Bradley did not add anything else to his stat line and has not made a three since arriving in Los Angeles. He is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and […]

Austin Rivers Returns and Scores 16 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers returned from his 18-game absence to pour in 16 points in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Rivers drew the start with Milos Teodosic (foot) out and showed little signs of rust by adding five assists to go along with two rebounds and two makes from downtown. The […]

Lou Williams With an Efficient 26 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams continued to roll with 26 points, six assists and two steals in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Williams was super efficient while making seven of 12 shots from the floor to go along with four of six from deep and eight of nine from the charity stripe. The return […]

Ben Simmons Nearly Notches Another Triple-Double

Philadelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons was a stat sheet-stuffer against the Pelicans, flirting with a triple-double in his 25 minutes of action. Simmons was a solid contributor in the big three categories, finishing with 10 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the win. He was equally impressive on defense, though, adding one block and a […]

Dennis Schroder Leads Hawks in Scoring

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder bounced back on Friday night, going 10-for-19 from the field for 25 points in his team's 16-point loss to the short-handed Cavaliers. He also added five rebounds and four assists, but played five minutes less than his average, as he ended up sitting out at the end of the […]

Rajon Rondo Plays Well Off the Bench

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo played well enough despite his team falling to Philly on Friday evening. Rondo came off the bench in favor of guard DeAndre Liggins but still ended up seeing 25 minutes of action. Though he wasn't productive scoring, finishing the night with only five points on 2-for-5 shooting, he did […]

Jrue Holiday Struggles in Philly

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday struggled on Friday night in the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Holiday played only 23 minutes, finishing things up with an underwhelming nine points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field. Nonetheless, Holiday can't take all of the credit for his inefficient play, as his entire team shot an embarrassing […]

Milos Teodosic Questionable on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Owners will need to check back closer to game time for more information on his status. Lou Williams and Avery Bradley will be busy if Milos is forced out of action on Friday. Austin Rivers (foot) is questionable for […]

Austin Rivers is Questionable on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (ankle, heel) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was targeting a Feb. 9 return, so Rivers is on schedule. This is the first time we've seen him tagged with anything other than out, so that is positive. Rivers does not have much fantasy upside with […]

Dennis Schroder is Probable Against Cavs

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Schroder was dealing with a shoulder injury last week but did not miss a game. He is expected to stay in the lineup on Friday, but owners should check back closer to game time just in case. He […]

George Hill, Jordan Clarkson, Rodney Hood Not Expected to Play Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guards George Hill, Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood are not expected to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. The trio is expected to play a significant role once active, but it does not sound like that is going to be on Friday. Hill is worth owning in standard leagues and should see a […]

Devin Harris Ruled Out Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Devin Harris has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets acquired Harris at the deadline, but he won't be ready to play on Friday. Harris will reportedly meet the team in Phoenix for Saturday's contest versus the Suns. When he does eventually suit up, Harris will play […]

Dwyane Wade Expected to Come Off Bench

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat acquired Wade at the deadline, but do not expect his fantasy value to rise much. His homecoming is a great story, but the Heat have plenty of depth at the shooting guard position. Wayne Ellington (shoulder) […]

Jameer Nelson and James Ennis Are Questionable Friday

Detroit Pistons point guard Jameer Nelson and guard/forward James Ennis are questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Both players were acquired prior to Thursday's trade deadline, but it's unclear if they will have their physicals completed by game time. It's unlikely they would see anything more than spot minutes, as neither player […]

Jose Calderon Will Start Against Hawks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jose Calderon is one of the few point guards left on the roster, and he will be getting the start Friday night. While the Cavaliers are going to have to wait until Sunday to unveil their new acquisitions, Calderon will be getting the bulk of the excess minutes in the meantime. He's […]

Kyrie Irving Bounces Back in Win

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving bounced back on Thursday, as he posted 28 points in a victory over the Wizards. He shot 9-for-19 from the field with six assists, five rebounds and a block. His 1-for-5 shooting from deep was a blemish, but he made up for it by hitting nine of his 10 […]

J.J. Barea Drops Eight Dimes in a Start

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea started instead of Harrison Barnes (ankle) on Thursday against Golden State, playing 28 minutes and finishing with six points and eight assists. Barea went 2-for-9 from the floor and missed all five treys. The 33-year-old sharpshooter is having trouble finding the net after returning from injury, shooting with just 27.6 […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Leads Dallas in Scoring on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has had some really inefficient shooting nights lately, but with his high usage rate (28.8 percent), he's still getting the job done in terms of scoring. He had 22 points in Thursday's loss to the Warriors, shooting 8-for-18 from the field. However, he did have a good day […]

Kemba Walker Breaks 40 Points Again

Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker scored 40 points in a win over Atlanta on Thursday. Walker was 13-for-26 from the field and 6-for-11 from three. The Hornets were surprisingly quiet at the trade deadline, which means Walker will continue to put up over 20 points and around five assists per game. Walker only had three […]

D.J. Augustin Takes Advantage of New Role

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin scored 18 points in a win over Atlanta on Thursday. Elfrid Payton was traded earlier Thursday, and Augustin took over as the starter at point guard. He played over 35 minutes and when the game was on the line, he scored seven of his 18 points in the last 3:13 […]

Kyle Lowry Has an Off Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry wasn't feeling it on Thursday, as he shot a brutal 2-for-10 from the field to score just seven points, with both of his makes coming from three-point territory against the Knicks. Worse yet, Lowry wasn't overly impactful anywhere else on the score sheet, adding two rebounds, three assists and […]

Delon Wright Puts up Third Straight Solid Performance

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright was effective off the bench on Thursday, scoring 11 points on a near-perfect 5-for-6 shooting, which included one three-pointer made against the Knicks. Wright wasn't his usual defensive self in this one, only coming away with one steal in the contest, but he still had a productive night, adding three […]

Fred VanVleet Scores 10 with Three Steals on Thursday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet kept his double-digit scoring streak alive on Thursday, scoring 10 points against the Knicks while draining two threes on a not-so-nice 4-for-11 from the field. VanVleet had a couple of team bests, however, coming away with a team-high six assists and three steals in the contest. VanVleet continues to […]

Carmelo Anthony And Russell Westbrook Out Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony (ankle) and point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) will not play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Neither injury is considered serious, so they both will get more rest. The Thunder have not announced replacement starters, but most likely starting at point guard will be Raymond Felton. The Thunder […]

Dennis Schroder Back to His Old Ways

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder wasn't at this best against the Magic on Thursday night. Schroder went 5-for-15 from the field in his team's two-point loss and ended up finishing things out with 19 points, five rebounds, five assists and three turnovers. Schroder will look to find his shot against the new-look Cavaliers on Friday, a […]

D.J. Augustin Will Start Against Hawks

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin will draw the start at point guard against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. Elfrid Payton has been traded, so head coach Frank Vogel will promote Augustin. Shelvin Mack should see extended minutes as well, but DJA is the best add here. DJA should be added in all 12-team leagues […]
