Avery Bradley Questionable To Suit Up Monday

Miami Heat shooting guard Avery Bradley (illness) remains questionable to play in Monday's contest versus the Thunder as he battles a stomach illness. Bradley has gotten off to a hot start offensively to begin the year, shooting 57.1 percent overall en route to averaging 14.3 points through his first four contests. His absence from the […]

James Harden Receives Green Light To Play Monday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden (ankle) will suit up for Monday's contest against the Mavericks. Harden had earned a questionable designation after missing the team's most recent game. With Harden back on the floor, John Wall, Eric Gordon, and other key offensive cogs for Houston will revert back to their traditional fantasy appeal, as […]

Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro Questionable To Suit Up Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Darius Garland (shoulder) and small forward Isaac Okoro (foot) are both questionable to participate in Monday's contest versus the Magic. Garland has shown signs of breaking out during his second season, averaging 17.2 points and 6.3 assists per contest over his first six games. Any absence would pave the way for […]

Marcus Smart Up In The Air For Monday's Game

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thumb) is deemed questionable to play in Monday's game versus the Raptors as he battles a sprained thumb on his shooting hand. Smart has begun the season dishing out a career-best 6.7 assists per game as he has served as Boston's primary distributor with Kemba Walker (knee) unavailable. Smart's […]

He was 3-for-9 from three and also added six rebounds, five assists, and three steals. LaVine is averaging 24.6 points on the season despite a career-low 30.2 percent shooting mark from three. Once he gets that figured […]

Jordan Clarkson Has Best Shooting Night Of Season

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points on Sunday, converting on 61.5 percent of his shots and adding in two three-pointers. He also had three rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

Malik Beasley Shines Against Former Team

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley had a classic revenge game against the Nuggets on Sunday, scoring a season-high 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting against the team that traded him 11 months ago.

Jaylen Brown Stays Hot With 31-Point Effort

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown continued his good scoring streak with a 31-point performance on Sunday against Detroit, missing only three of his 16 shots in a 122-120 win. Sadly he had six turnovers and didn't do much else, but another 30-plus point outing was very nice to see. Brown has now shot 60 […]

Luka Doncic Will Not Play Versus Chicago

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) has been ruled out Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. Doncic, who was doubtful coming into the contest, must have picked up the injury in the win over the Miami Heat on Friday. However, this is the first leg of a back-to-back and could be a rest day for Doncic. […]

Evan Fournier Held Out Of Sunday's Practice

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) was unable to practice on Sunday, according to head coach Steve Clifford. The veteran guard was held out of Saturday's contest due to back spasms.

Avery Bradley Unable To Practice On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Avery Bradley (rest) was unavailable for Sunday's practice due to the league's safety and health protocols. This is concerning news since the next game is on Monday for Miami. Despite not practicing, the Heat have not ruled out Bradley for their next contest. Regardless, Bradley doesn't offer consistent fantasy value with Jimmy […]

James Ennis Might Play On Monday

Orlando Magic guard James Ennis (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue, but continues to make progress. Ennis will likely be eased back into the rotation once he's cleared to play. Dwayne Bacon would see less playing time once Ennis is […]

James Harden Could Sit Out On Monday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Sacramento Kings. John Wall and Eric Gordon would gain the most fantasy value, assuming Harden is sidelined again. Fantasy managers should check back for an […]

Collin Sexton Drops Game-High 27 Points In Victory

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton poured in a game-high 27 points during Saturday's win over Atlanta, marking his sixth straight contest passing the 20-point plateau to begin the year.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Puts Together 16-5-7 Line

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shot in Saturday's win over Orlando, but he posted another nice all-around line with 16 points, seven assists, and five rebounds while committing only one turnover. He went only 5-for-17 from the field with an ugly 2-for-9 record from downtown, and that's now two games on […]

Fred VanVleet Scores Inefficient 27 Points

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet scored 27 points in a loss to the Pelicans, though he struggled with his shot. VanVleet shot just 9 of 23 from the field, his third outing of the season shooting below 40 percent from the field.

Derrick White Out, LaMarcus Aldridge Questionable On Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) is listed as out Sunday against the Utah Jazz after making his season debut on Friday while forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) is questionable.

Alec Burks Unavailable For Saturday’s Contest

New York Knicks shooting guard Alec Burks (ankle) has been given the thumbs down to suiting up for Saturday's contest versus the Pacers. Burks will remain day-to-day moving forward, but look for Reggie Bullock to continue reprising a significant offensive role on the wing in his absence. There should be more shot opportunities within the […]

Evan Fournier Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) will miss Saturday's contest versus Oklahoma City as he continues to deal with back spasms. Michael Carter-Williams will enter the starting five in his stead and should see increased DFS appeal. Terence Ross and Cole Anthony also could have some upside without Fournier in the mix, as […]

Josh Okogie Will Miss Fourth Straight Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will miss his fourth game in a row on Sunday. He continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Jarrett Culver and Anthony Edwards have seen more playing time in the absence of Okogie. Edwards is the better fantasy […]

James Harden A Late Scratch On Saturday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (ankle) is a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Thursday's game and will sit this one out. Eric Gordon will slide into the starting five and should see more shots coming his way. John Wall will see his usage and […]

Stephen Curry Posts 26 Points As Warriors Fall To 2-3

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry did all he could Friday in a blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

This has become the norm […]

Donovan Mitchell's Shooting Struggles Continue

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell continues to struggle with his shot five games into the season. Mitchell scored 15 points but shot just 6 of 14 from the field and 3 of 10 from deep in a disappointing performance. The 24-year-old actually has a slightly higher usage rate than last year and is taking just […]

Jimmy Butler Has Disappointing Line In Return

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) made his return to the court Friday after a two-game absence, but struggled against the Dallas Mavericks. Butler finished with just two points on 0-for-6 shooting to go along with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three turnovers in 27 minutes. Butler looked abnormally bad in this one […]
