Scottie Barnes Briefly Exits On Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Scottie Barnes (quad) briefly exited during Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He walked off the court under his own power, which is always a good sign. Barnes was diagnosed with a left quad bruise and cleared to return. It sounds like it was a minor issue and fantasy managers don't need […]

Wayne Ellington Remains Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Wayne Ellington (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. The veteran guard remains day-to-day due to a lingering hamstring issue. The Lakers are hopeful that Ellington can get back into the lineup next week. There is a good chance that Kent Bazemore will lose playing time and touches once Ellington […]

Jaylen Brown Could Miss Sunday's Contest

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The stud guard is already battling knee soreness two games into the season. That is certainly concerning for fantasy managers, but at least this doesn't seem too serious. His absence would likely push Josh Richardson into the starting […]

Jrue Holiday Available Versus San Antonio

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (heel) is available for Sunday's contest in San Antonio. The veteran sustained a bruised heel during the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets and was held out of action during the blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday. With Holiday back in the mix, George Hill's fantasy ceiling […]

Terry Rozier Could Miss Sunday's Matchup Against Nets

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's clash against the Nets. Rozier didn't play on opening night because of a sprained right ankle. However, he took the floor on Friday evening against the Cavaliers but managed to log only 23 minutes of work. However, even if he does suit up, there is […]

Zach LaVine's 32 Points Leads Bulls To Victory

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine totaled 32 points, six rebounds, five assists, one block and six turnovers on 11-for-19 shooting from the field and 6-for-9 from three-point range in Friday's 128-112 victory against the Pelicans. LaVine bounced back from a slow start and exploded offensively to finish with another 30-plus point performance to begin the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Thrives In Starting Role

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. made the most of his last-minute addition into the starting lineup in Friday's 115-83 victory against the Celtics. The 22-year-old replaced point guard Goran Dragic and fit very nicely with the starters, as Trent Jr. finished with 20 points, four steals, three rebounds, two made three-pointers and one […]

Malcolm Brogdon Delivers Well-Rounded Line

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon stuffed the stat sheet in Friday's overtime loss to the Wizards. Brogdon scored 28 points with eight rebounds, eight assists, two triples, a pair of steals, and a block in 44 minutes. The 28-year-old has amassed an impressive 56 points and 19 assists through two games played. It's unclear if […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Leads Wizards To Victory With 34 Points

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie came up huge for his team in a 135-134 win over the Pacers. With star guard Bradley Beal (hip) ruled out, Dinwiddie entered the starting five, playing a whopping 35 minutes while leading the team in shots, 24, points, 34, assists, nine, and three-pointers made, six. He also tacked on […]

Evan Fournier Settles For 18 Points On Friday

New York Knicks guard/forward Evan Fournier put up 18 points in Friday's big victory over Orlando, shooting 5-for-12 from the field and 4-for-5 at the line.

Collin Sexton Leads All Scorers With 33 Points

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton came up with a game-high 33 points in Friday's home game against Charlotte but couldn't save his side from a 123-112 defeat. The 22-year-old shot 13-for-21 from the field with a 2-for-7 record from deep and nailed all five of his free throws. He notched four rebounds and two steals […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Notches 25 Points Off The Bench

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. did some really good bench scoring in Friday's clash with Cleveland, picking up 25 points in 29 minutes off the pine in a 123-112 win. He missed only four of his 13 shots from the field and went 4-for-7 from downtown with a 3-for-3 record at the line. His […]

Donovan Mitchell Drops Team-High 27 Points In Win

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell scuffled from inside the arc, but he dropped a game-leading 27 points to lead his team to victory over Sacramento on Friday. Mitchell was electric from deep, shooting 6-for-14, as he added five rebounds, four assists and two steals to his stat line. But his 9-for-25 overall night did […]

Buddy Hield Fires 15 Three-Point Attempts Off Bench

If the first two games of the season are any indication, Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Buddy Hield is certainly embracing his role as the team's No. 1 offensive option off the bench. Hield launched 15 threes during Friday's loss to the Jazz en route to scoring 24 points, as he knocked down six of […]

Josh Richardson, Al Horford Set For Season Debuts Friday

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson (migraine) and power forward/center Al Horford will make their respective season debuts during Friday's contest against the Raptors. Richardson figures to lead Boston's second unit, while Horford, who is expected to play just 20-25 minutes, shifts into the starting lineup. With Horford back in the mix, Grant Williams moves […]

Terry Rozier Questionable On Friday Evening

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is classified as questionable heading into the Friday night clash in Cleveland. The 27-year-old continues to deal with the lingering effects of a left ankle sprain, and he didn't play during the team's opener against the Pacers on Wednesday as a result. If he does sit out again, Kelly […]

Bradley Beal Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Indiana due to a right hip contusion. Beal scuffled to the tune of a 7-for-19 shooting performance in the Wizards' season opener Wednesday; without him in the mix, look for Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma to take on larger offensive […]

Landry Shamet Probable Against Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He tweaked his foot during Wednesday's season opener, but it seems to be a minor injury. Shamet finished that game with 11 points and knocked down three shots from beyond the arc. There isn't much fantasy upside […]

Tyler Herro Scores 27 Points In Win Over Bucks

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro helped lead the team to a 137-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He shot 10-for-18 from the field, including 4-for-8 from three-point range, on the way to a game-high 27 points. He also added six rebounds and five assists.

Paul George Goes For 29 And 11 In Season Debut

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard/small forward Paul George had a big game in a losing effort against the Golden State Warriors in the team's season opener.

Josh Richardson May Make Boston Debut Friday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Josh Richardson (migraine) is listed as probable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Richardson missed the season opener on Wednesday due to the migraine, but all signs point to him making his debut in green on Friday. The Celtics has put a lot of trust into Richardson by giving him a […]

Marcus Smart Probable To Play Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) is probable to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Smart was a little banged up after the double overtime thriller against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, but looks like he will be able to play through any soreness. If Smart is limited or has a setback, Payton Pritchard […]

Josh Hart Questionable To Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Josh Hart (quad) is questionable to play Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Hart left Wednesday's game with what appeared to be a knee injury in just 10 minutes of play. Hart was diagnosed with tendonitis in his right quad and is now in danger of missing Friday's game. If Hart is […]

Ben Simmons Doubtful For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (personal) is being listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Simmons saga continues as the Sixers look to trade him somewhere. GM Daryl Morey is looking for a "difference maker" in return for Simmons which will be difficult given the latest drama. Simmons is likely going […]

Justin Holiday Questionable Again Friday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Justin Holiday (ankle) is questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Friday. Holiday was also questionable to play on Wednesday and ended up playing 26 minutes as a starter. Holiday is likely more probable than questionable for this one, unless he suffered a setback. If he ends up being limited or […]

Bradley Beal Questionable For Friday's Game

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is questionable for Friday's home opener against the Pacers. Beal, who has a history of hip injuries, suffered a right hip contusion- though he seemed to manage the issue well, playing 34 minutes while scoring a game-high 23 points in Wednesday's season-opener against Toronto. The star guard should be […]

Lou Williams Will Play Against Dallas Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) will suit up for Thursday's game against Dallas. Williams missed the team's final preseason contest due to hip soreness, but it won't cost him any regular season playing time. The veteran guard appears slated for his usual 20 minutes off the bench, and he could supply a large portion […]

Lou Williams Might Sit Out On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) appears to be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Hawks are already without Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) so losing Williams would be a significant blow to the rotation. Delon Wright and Cam Reddish are expected to pick up the slack, assuming both players are sidelined. […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play Against Miami

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The MRI on his heel came back clean, but it sounds like the team is going to hold him out as a precaution. Holiday was listed as probable, but the fact he is dealing with a thigh contusion […]
