Alec Burks Could Miss Thursday's Game

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sat out of Tuesday's game due to a nagging ankle issue. Reggie Bullock stepped up and looked sharp during that contest. He'll likely be asked to do it again, assuming Burks sits out. Although, he won't […]

D'Angelo Russell Compiles Game-High 22 Points In Defeat

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell is going to have ample opportunity to score at will without Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) for the foreseeable future, with Tuesday's game-high 22-point performance beginning that ascension. Russell has served as the unquestioned No. 1 scoring option before (Brooklyn, Golden State), and his 9-for-19 shooting effort against the Clippers, including […]

Jarrett Culver Snags 10 Boards Amidst Ice-Cold Shooting

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jarrett Culver tied his career high by grabbing 10 rebounds during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. But while he snagged double-digit boards for the second time in four games to begin 2020-21, he shot 0-for-10 from the field overall, including missing all three triples that he attempted in his 26 minutes. At […]

Lou Williams Shines With Team-High 20 Points Off Bench

Los Angeles Clippers point/shooting guard Lou Williams dropped a team-high 20 points in his traditional bench role during Tuesday's win over Minnesota. Williams was one of seven Clippers to score in double figures without Kawhi Leonard (mouth) available, as the team rebounded from a blowout loss with a convincing win of their own. In just […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Best Shooting Performance So Far

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued what looks like a third-year breakout with an efficient 23 points against the Magic. Gilgeous-Alexander added seven rebounds and seven assists- he's compiled at least those numbers in two of three games to start the year. The 22-year-old took a big statistical leap last year, though it's reasonable […]

Tyler Herro Delivers Impressive 23-Point Outing In Defeat

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro was the rare member of his squad to put forth an impressive showing during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Bucks. Without Jimmy Butler (ankle) on the floor, Herro took on an increased offensive role, which led to a season-high 23 points and seven assists, including going 3-for-8 from long […]

Andrew Wiggins Bounces Back With 27 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins had struggled coming into the contest against the Pistons, as he was averaging just 14.7 points on 32.7 percent shooting from the field. Wiggins put those games in the rearview mirror, as he poured in 27 points on 47.3 percent shooting. The 25-year-old added seven boards, five triples, three […]

Zach LaVine Scores 23 Points Against Wizards

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine scored a team-high 23 points on 6-for-15 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards. He was 3-for-7 from three and added five rebounds, six assists, and four steals. LaVine has scored at least 17 points in each game this season and has made three or more threes in each […]

Victor Oladipo Scores 24 Points Against Boston

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo scored 24 points on 10-for-18 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. He also added six rebounds and six assists. Limited by injury to 19 games last year, Oladipo has now scored 20-plus points in each of his three games this season. While he might spend some time resting […]

Jaylen Brown Continues To Perform Well

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored 20 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers. He also added two rebounds, two assists, and four steals. Brown has blossomed as a scorer for Boston in this young season and while he hasn't been consistently rebounding the ball, his steals are a nice addition […]

Gary Trent Jr. Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is being listed as questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers due to a strained right calf. Trent is on the heels of having delivered a massive 28-point eruption off the bench Monday against the Lakers, in which he knocked down seven threes. But […]

Josh Richardson Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson (calf) has been tagged as questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to a strained left calf. Richardson has acclimated to his new squad well through his first three games, having averaged 16.7 points per contest on 52.8 percent shooting overall. It's a small sample […]

Josh Jackson Remains Among Starting Five Tuesday

Detroit Pistons shooting guard/small forward Josh Jackson drew his second consecutive start Tuesday against Golden State, remaining among the starting five after an early season scoring barrage. Jackson may have played in only 22 games last year (all off the bench) with Memphis, but the Pistons appear to have untapped some of his offensive potential […]

George Hill Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard George Hill (neck) will miss the second leg of the team's back-to-back against Orlando on Tuesday due to a neck ailment. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can be expected to handle an even larger share of ball-handling duties, while Hamidou Diallo and Theo Maledon are in line to see increased roles and can […]

Alec Burks Unavailable For Tuesday’s Contest

New York Knicks shooting guard Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled inactive for Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers. Having averaged 20.7 points per game off the bench to begin the season, Kevin Knox figures to be one of the prime beneficiaries of Burks' absence. New York will be short-handed in the backcourt once again, which […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Contest

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled inactive for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks as he continues to battle an ankle injury. Butler did not play during the second half of the team's Christmas Day victory against New Orleans, and head coach Erik Spoelstra said Tuesday that Butler would be reevaluated […]

Josh Okogie Ruled Out Versus Clippers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a left hamstring strain during Sunday's contest, but hopefully he isn't going to be sidelined for long. The Wolves will likely mix in a few players to help fill the void of Okogie. Expect Jarrett […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Sinks Five Treys En Route To 17 Points

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic was in great form on Monday against the Pistons, producing 17 points, five rebounds, and five assists off the bench. He shot 6-for-10 from the field, including a superb 5-for-7 from behind the arc. Bogdanovic's line also included his first block of the season. The Serbian sniper had a […]

James Harden Drops 34 Points In Losing Effort

Houston Rockets guard James Harden continued his torrid start to the season in a loss to Denver. Harden scored 34 points for his second 30+ point game of the season, adding eight rebounds, six assists, and five triples. If this is an uninspired, can't-wait-to-get-out-of-Houston Harden, we can't wait to see what a more inspired, in-shape […]

Luguentz Dort Drops Career-High 26 Points During Defeat

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard/small forward Luguentz Dort had it all working offensively during Monday's loss to Utah, pouring in a career-best 26 points while shooting an efficient 9-for-11 overall, including 5-for-7 from behind the arc. Having led the team in scoring, Dort also added two rebounds and two steals. In addition to being a […]

Donovan Mitchell Struggles From Deep, Makes Game-Winner

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell scuffled from the field during Monday's win over the Thunder, but he made the biggest shot of the night with under 10 seconds remaining to seal the victory for his squad. It's been a tremendously slow start to the year from the field for Mitchell, who is shooting 32.3 […]

Caris LeVert Takes 29 Shots In Loss

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert wound up starting at point guard with Kyrie Irving (rest) and Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) out on Monday. Dinwiddie is done for the season, so we'll likely see LeVert manning the backup point guard role most nights, with the occasional start when Irving is unavailable. If Monday is any indication, fantasy […]

Alec Burks Could Sit Out Versus Cavs

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He tweaked his ankle on Sunday, but the team cannot afford to lose him right now. Both Austin Rivers (groin) and Immanuel Quickley (hip) have been ruled out for this game. Burks should see a heavy workload, […]

Terrence Ross Continues Hot Streak Against Wizards

Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross has been on fire to start the season and continued his hot shooting in a win on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Ross poured in 26 points on 7-for-15 shooting, including 4-for-7 from three and a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line in 31 minutes off the bench. Ross […]

Keldon Johnson Notches Second Career Double-Double

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Keldon Johnson has been an early season standout, having recorded 14 points and 11 rebounds during Sunday's loss to the Pelicans. Since being a surprise addition to the starting five in the team's season opener, he has done nothing to dissuade head coach Gregg Popovich from keeping him there. […]

Zach Lavine Dominates Offensively During Defeat

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine fired up 23 shots during Sunday's loss to the Warriors, leading to a season-high 33-point showing. Reassuring for LaVine's season-long fantasy managers is that his minutes allotment was bumped up to 35 minutes, which allowed him to add seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks. Conversely, that […]

Damion Lee Buries Game-Winner To Notch Win Sunday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Damion Lee wasn't the team's first option to fire from long range in the waning seconds of Sunday's win over the Bulls, but he was ultimately the right option. Lee knocked down his fourth triple of the game to put Golden State ahead on their last shot of the […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Leaves Game With Knee Strain

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) will not return Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets after suffering a right knee strain. Dinwiddie was on her the ground grabbing his right knee before hobbling over to the bench and getting escorted to the locker room. Hopefully this is not a serious injury, but could be a huge […]

Victor Oladipo Will Not Play Sunday Night Due To Rest

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (guard) will not play Sunday night against the Boston Celtics. Oladipo is just resting on the second night of a back-to-back, but there was some original optimism he would be ready to go. With Oladipo out, Aaron Holiday usually enters the starting lineup while Justin Holiday is the first off […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Finds Form Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. finally got going in the third game of the season on Sunday, shooting 7-for-14 from the floor on his way to 18 points in a big 124-73 win over the Clippers. After managing a total of four treys with 13 attempts in the first two games of the […]
