David Nwaba Remains Sidelined For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward David Nwaba (knee) will remain sidelined for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This will be Nwaba's seventh straight game sidelined. It doesn't seem like he's close because the Cavs continue to rule him out a full day in advance. At this point Nwaba belongs on the waiver wire in all formats […]

J.J. Redick Scores 25 Points Against Raptors

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick scored 25 points on 9-for-16 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors. He was 5-for-12 from deep. Despite Toronto being a strong perimeter-defending team, Redick was able to drain shots from behind the arc due to his top-level three-point shot. At this point, his ability to score is less […]

Wayne Ellington Won't Play on Friday

Miami Heat guard Wayne Ellington (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ellington isn't currently traveling with the team, so he should be considered doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Clippers. That will mean more minutes for Dwyane Wade and Tyler Johnson.

Gary Harris Ruled Out for Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Harris will miss his second straight game after being unable to play in Saturday's contest. Torrey Craig drew the start, but Malik Beasley saw more minutes. Neither player is trustworthy in fantasy right now. The other starters will […]

Jimmy Butler Scores 38 Points Against Raptors

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler scored 38 points on 15-for-27 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He also added 10 rebounds, an assist, and a steal. He was 4-for-7 from three. Butler is averaging 19.9 points per game since joining the Sixers and has shot 49.7 percent from the floor. Philadelphia plays Detroit […]

Joe Harris Scores 19 Points In Return

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Joe Harris (hip) returned after a three-game absence and scored 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder. Harris was 3-for-4 from three and grabbed seven rebounds. While it's an encouraging sign to see Harris back and healthy, the Nets face a monumental task on Friday against one […]

Allen Crabbe Scores 22 Points Against Thunder

Brooklyn Nets guard Allen Crabbe scored 22 points on 7-for-15 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has four rebounds and two assists as well. Crabbe is averaging just 9.8 points per game on 35.2 percent shooting over his past five games, though, and the Nets face a very difficult test on […]

Lou Williams Records Season-High Six Turnovers In Loss

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams had an off night off the bench during Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, recording six turnovers in 25 minutes. Los Angeles’ bench weapon did finish with 12 points and seven assists, but went 2-for-8 from the floor. There remains little reason to panic with Williams, who is […]

Terrence Ross Provides 17 Points Off The Bench

Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross once again led the team's bench mob on Wednesday, scoring 17 points on 6-for-12 shooting against Denver. He finished 3-for-9 from deep and sank both attempts from the line. Ross has been a good source for points all year and he's done especially well in recent games, averaging 19 points […]

Wesley Matthews Scores 15 Points In Road Drubbing

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews delivered one of his better efforts of the season Wednesday, despite his team getting clobbered by the New Orleans Pelicans. Matthews delivered 15 points on an efficient 5-for-9 shooting, tossing in three assists, two steals and two rebounds without committing a turnover. Matthews has remained remarkably consistent this season […]

Evan Fournier Leads Magic In Scoring On Wednesday

Orlando Magic shooting guard Evan Fournier scored a team-high 26 points on Wednesday against Denver in an overtime loss before fouling out and picking up his second technical. The Frenchman shot 8-for-15 from the field and did major damage from downtown, going 6-for-10 with his three-ball. He also had eight rebounds, four assists, and one […]

E'Twaun Moore Makes First Appearance Off Bench

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore started each of the first 24 games that he appeared in this season, but found himself shifted to the bench for Wednesday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks. Having averaged 6.8 points per game over his previous four contests coming into the night, Moore snapped that spell with […]

Jrue Holiday Drops 17 Points In Win

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Jrue Holiday helped key his team to a victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday with 17 points and eight assists, while also tying his season high with four steals. It has been a career year for the 28-year-old who is on pace not only for a new career high […]

Darius Miller Drills Season-High Four Threes Off Bench

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward Darius Miller knocked down a quartet of triples during Wednesday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with 12 points in 26 minutes. It marks the third consecutive game in double figures for Miller, who has seemingly found his stroke and role in the rotation. Unfortunately, he offers very little […]

Bradley Beal Scores Season-High 36 Points

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal scored a season-high 36 points in Wednesday's win versus the Atlanta Hawks, making 12 of 22 field goal attempts and 10 of 13 free throws. Beal was also able to add six rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two three-pointers on an exceptionally productive night for the 25-year-old. John Wall […]

Langston Galloway Quiet In First Start Of Season

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Langston Galloway made his first start of the season during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in place of Reggie Bullock (ankle). Despite getting the nod, Galloway played just 23 minutes and finished with five points on 2-for-5 shooting. It was a wholly disappointing night for DFS owners who were banking […]

Malcolm Brogdon Logs Season-Low 21 Minutes

Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon was needed for just 21 minutes during Wednesday’s win over the Detroit Pistons. Even with his stunted playing time, Brogdon still delivered 14 points and six rebounds to go along with a pair of made threes. His next match-up comes against the Golden State Warriors on Friday, whom he […]

Tony Snell Draws First Start Of Season

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Tony Snell entered the starting lineup for the first time this season during Wednesday’s win over the Detroit Pistons due to the absence of Khris Middleton. Not known for his offensive prowess, Snell delivered 11 points -- seven of which came on free throws -- to go along with seven […]

Nicolas Batum Delivers Vintage Performance

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum delivered arguably his best performance of 2018-19 on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 18 points to go along with eight assists and seven rebounds. Batum knocked down three triples in a game for the first time since Oct. 30, having combined to make three threes over […]

Jeremy Lamb Posts Second Double-Double Of Season

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his second double-double of the year. Lamb needed 18 shots to get those 18 points, but his 11 boards set a new season high. The Charlotte wing has been one of the more consistent […]

Derrick Rose Goes For 16 Points Off Bench

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose delivered 16 points off the bench during Wednesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets. Rose was the only member of the Minnesota bench to finish in double figures, putting up 15 shots after his scoreless clunker against Houston on Monday. Rose has been a fairly reliable fantasy commodity this season, […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores Season-High 26 Points

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins finally awoke from his slumber Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets, scoring a season-high 26 points on 11-for-19 shooting. It’s the first time that Wiggins has eclipsed the 20-point mark since Nov. 16, having averaged just 11.3 points per game over his last eight contests. It was an all-around […]

Klay Thompson Finally Cools Off Wednesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson had a poor shooting night Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers after a hot streak. Thompson scored 16 points but shot just 5-for-15 from the field with two three-pointers in 32 minutes. Thompson entered Wednesday with eight straight games of at least 20 points, but was unable to find his […]

Stephen Curry Drops 42 Points On Cleveland

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry showed he's completely recovered from his injury in a blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday. Curry posted a huge line of 42 points on 11-for-20 from the field, nine three-pointers, nine rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes. Curry has increased his point total in each consecutive game […]

Rodney Hood Scores 15 Points In Losing Effort

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rodney Hood scored in double digits again Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Hood posted 15 points on 6-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-9 from the three-point line, in 31 minutes. Outside of points and threes, Hood only contributed an assist and a steal Wednesday. Hood has been a consistent scorer […]

Khris Middleton Ruled Out Wednesday For Personal Reasons

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (personal) is not with the team Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. There was report of Middleton being on the injury report so this comes as a surprise. Middleton was benched for most of their last game Saturday due to "lackluster" effort on defense, according to coach Mike Budenholzer. It's […]

Joe Harris is Probable for Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harris has been sidelined the last three games, but appears ready to suit up again. Spencer Dinwiddie will move back to the bench with Shabazz Napier and Allen Crabbe losing some minutes with Harris returning.

Victor Oladipo Misses Wednesday's Practice

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Oladipo has been increasing his activity and has been cleared for full contact work. However, it doesn't sound like he's fully ready for game action yet. Tyreke Evans is expected to continue drawing starts. Darren Collison and Cory Joseph will play more as […]

Jaylen Brown is Expected to Play Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (tailbone) is on track to play in Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. Brown was able to get in full practice both Tuesday and Wednesday after missing the last three contests. There is a good chance that he is back in the rotation for Thursday's game. Marcus Smart will […]
