Devin Booker Will Play on Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) is available for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. However, head coach Igor Kokoskov said Booker is a game-time decision, so fantasy owners need to check back before tip-off. It would likely be a committee approach to fill the void if Booker is out.

Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose Doubtful on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards Jeff Teague (ankle) and Derrick Rose (ankle) are listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Tyus Jones is going to see heavy minutes with both of them sidelined. He scored 12 points with five assists, four rebounds and five steals on Sunday. Jones is going to be a […]

Daniel Hamilton Will Start on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Daniel Hamilton will draw the start against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Kent Bazemore (ankle) is unable to play, so Hamilton will draw the start. This will be Hamilton's first start of the season and his eighth appearance. He's been fantastic in the G-League and is worth keeping an eye on in […]

Emmanuel Mudiay is Questionable on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Mudiay said he'd be ready to play, but he still remains listed as questionable. Trey Burke and Frank Ntilikina would see increased playing time if Mudiay is unable to play. Burke is worth a look in deep leagues right […]

Jimmy Butler Held To Five Points

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Jimmy Butler scored five points on 2-for-12 shooting in Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He also added six assists, three rebounds, and a steal.

Luka Doncic Stays Hot On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic continued his recent tear with a 25-point outing in Sunday's win over OKC. He shot 9-for-19 from the field, including 4-for-11 from deep with a 3-for-4 record from the charity stripe. Doncic also dished out seven assists to his teammates.

Buddy Hield Rekindles Three-Point Flame In Defeat

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield found his three-point shot against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, finishing 4-for-11 from deep en route to a 21-point performance.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Erupts For 26 Points Off Bench

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope poured in a season-high 26 points during 28 minutes off the bench Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings.

Caldwell-Pope is no stranger to setting his […]

Josh Hart Finishes With Career-High 22 Points In Win

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Josh Hart delivered a career-high 22-point performance during Sunday’s victory over the Sacramento Kings. Hart knocked down three triples, marking his sixth consecutive outing with multiple threes made. His career high in scoring was made possible mostly by the fact that he set another career high, this one in minutes […]

Brandon Ingram Narrowly Misses First Double-Double Of Year

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram came just an assist shy of recording his first double-double of 2018-19 on Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings. It was a monster performance from Ingram who finished with 21 points, nine assists and seven rebounds sans LeBron James. Ingram has averaged 18.7 points per contest and is […]

Fred VanVleet Shooting Slump Continues In Start

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred Vanvleet again got the start with Kyle Lowry (back) on the shelf and he still struggled to connect from the floor in Sunday's win. VanVleet shot just three of 12 from the floor while knocking down just 2-for-7 from three for 10 points, but salvaged his night with seven dimes […]

Kawhi Leonard Shoots 8-for-22 From The Floor For 27 Points

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard didn't have his best shooting game on Sunday but still managed to score 27 points with nine rebounds in the winning effort.

Zach LaVine Connects On Just Three Of 17 Shot Attempts

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine struggled to connect from the floor on Sunday when he made just three of 17 shots from the floor to score 13 points in Sunday's loss. LaVine managed to hit all seven of his free throws which were a bit of savior and also added three rebounds with two assists […]

Maurice Harkless Unable To Go On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard/small forward Maurice Harkless (knee) will not play versus the 76ers on Sunday, despite being listed as the probable starter earlier in the day. Harkless had been playing better, particularly recently, as he contributed 18 points and 17 rebounds the past two games. Jake Layman, who has seen just 11 minutes […]

Jonathon Simmons Injures Ankle

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) suffered a sprained left ankle in the first half of Sunday's game against the Pistons and will not return. The 29-year-old had seven points on three of seven shooting from the field in nine minutes before exiting. If he misses anytime, Terrence Ross, Jerian Grant and Wesley […]

Devin Booker Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker has picked up a questionable designation for Monday’s contest against the Golden State Warriors due to a lower back contusion. Booker was banged up during Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma City, so if he is forced to the sidelines, T.J. Warren would become the primary scoring threat and Jamal Crawford […]

Lou Williams Is A Must Fantasy Start On New Years Day

Los Angeles Clippers point guard/shooting guard Lou Williams has been lighting up the scoreboard lately, although he cooled off a little in Saturday's loss to the Spurs as he finished the game with 16 points on 4-for-14 shooting from the field. He also had seven assists and three rebounds, marking the fifth time in the […]

Kent Bazemore To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore will be on the shelf for at least two more weeks as he rehabs a right ankle sprain. With Taurean Prince already sidelined on the wing, look for Vince Carter and Deandre Bembry to see a bump in minutes, while Kevin Huerter could be asked to take on […]

Eric Gordon To Miss Monday’s Contest

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon will be sidelined for Monday’s contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies due to a right knee injury that he suffered during Saturday’s game. Austin Rivers will enter the starting lineup in Gordon’s place, with the Rockets beginning to get awful thin in the backcourt with Chris Paul also on the […]

DeMar DeRozan Registers Fourth Double-Double

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan recorded his first double-double in about a month-and-half by compiling 25 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, one block, and a season-high four steals in Saturday's victory over the Clippers. He was 9-for-19 from the field, 0-for-1 from long distance and 7-for-7 from the free throw line. It was […]

Thabo Sefolosha Collects First Double-Double Of Year

Utah Jazz shooting guard/small forward Thabo Sefolosha made the most of his season-high 20 minutes Saturday versus the New York Knicks and recorded his first double-double of the 2018-19 campaign with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Sefolosha logged all that court time due to the nature of Utah’s win, so this likely isn’t a repeatable […]

Kyle Korver Drills Five Threes In Victory

Utah Jazz shooting guard Kyle Korver knocked down five threes during Saturday’s blowout victory over the New York Knicks. His five made triples are a new high since joining the Jazz, having made his season high of six in his final game with Cleveland. He added just one assist and one steal to his stat […]

E'Twaun Moore Delivers 21-Point Effort In Loss

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard E'Twaun Moore seemingly resuscitated his offensive game Saturday versus the Houston Rockets, finishing with 21 points and a season-high seven rebounds. Prior to Saturday, Moore hadn’t eclipsed the 20-point mark since Nov. 21, entering the contest on the heels of back-to-back two-point efforts. With New Orleans desperate to find a […]

Eric Gordon Scores 21 Points Before Early Exit

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon dropped 21 points across 27 minutes during Saturday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans, but he left the contest late and will have an MRI on what is initially being termed a bruised right knee. The Rockets cannot afford more injuries to key players with Chris Paul already on […]

James Harden Drops 41 Points To Continue Scoring Barrage

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden is scoring at prolific levels for the time being and a match-up with the high-scoring New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday was only going to enhance his numbers.

DeAndre Bembry Sees Extra Run In Home Victory
