Wayne Ellington Can't Find Shooting Stroke

Miami Heat shooting guard Wayne Ellington struggled with his shot, especially from three-point range, Monday night against the Houston Rockets.

Ellington did finish with 13 points but was 3-for-11 […]

Dennis Schroder Plays Mediocre

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder had a very uninspiring game in the win over the Jazz. Schroder scored 20 points on 18 shots while adding one rebound, two assists, two turnovers and no blocks or steals. This surely was not a great game for Schroder, but his team still got the win. His two […]

Malcolm Delaney Provides Spark Off Bench

Atlanta Hawks point guard Malcolm Delaney had a good night off the bench in the Hawks victory over the Jazz.

Juicy Matchup Ahead for Elfrid Payton

Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton has a gem of a matchup against the Sacramento Kings coming up on Tuesday.

Mario Chalmers Questionable on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. He sat out of Saturday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Grizzlies are sitting at 16 wins, so they don't need to rush Chalmers back to the court. Andrew Harrison should have plenty on his plate if Chalmers […]

John Wall Expected to Play Monday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (illness) is expected to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. He missed morning shootaround, but it sounds like Washington just decided to play it safe. He's coming off a double-double performance on Friday and is just feeling a little under the weather. He could be a risky option […]

Goran Dragic and Tyler Johnson Ruled Out

Miami Heat guards Goran Dragic (knee) and Tyler Johnson (ankle) have been ruled out of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Devin Harris is Questionable on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (head) is listed as questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Head coach Rick Carlisle hinted that Harris wasn't going to play and said he was at the doctor getting checked out. If Harris is ruled out, that means more playing time for guys like Dennis Smith Jr., […]

D'Angelo Russell Struggles Again In Second Game Back

Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell struggled again in his second game back from knee surgery.

Kemba Walker Keeps On Chugging with 22 Points

Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker scored 22 points in a loss to Miami on Saturday. Walker went 10-for-25 with one three in the defeat.

Jeff Teague Continues To Struggle With Shot

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague could not find the mark again as he continued his post-injury struggles on Saturday. Teague only scored five points on a putrid 2-for-11 shooting.

Lou Williams Notches 30 points and 10 Steals

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams notched an incredible 30 points and 10 steals to become the first player to do this since Michael Jordan, who did it back in 1988.
