Jonathon Simmons is Questionable on Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

His playing time was supposed to increase this season, but he belongs on the waiver wire right now. Terrence Ross […]

Donovan Mitchell is Sitting Out on Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is sitting out of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Dante Exum is expected to draw the start, while Royce […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (rest) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Butler sat out of Wednesday's contest due to general soreness. It's unclear whether Butler actually has soreness or if he's just frustrated that the Wolves have not traded him yet. Josh Okogie will return to […]

Dwyane Wade, Tyler Johnson Miss Practice on Friday

Miami Heat guards Dwyane Wade (head) and Tyler Johnson (illness) did not participate in shootaround on Friday. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra expects both players to be ready for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Neither player has much fantasy value outside of deeper leagues. Fantasy owners should expect both players to be ready by […]

Alec Burks Ruled Out For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Alec Burks (hand) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Donovon Mitchell (hamstring) has also been declared inactive for this contest. With an extremely thin backcourt available, Dante Exum, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will inherit tonight's minutes at the shooting guard position. Exum will most likely be […]

Reggie Bullock Doubtful Against 76ers On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) is highly unlikely to participate in Saturday's game against the 76ers. Bullock was ruled out of Wednesday's game after injuring his ankle in the first quarter. He managed to return for a few minutes but was quickly forced back out of the contest. Langston Galloway and Bruce Brown would […]

Kent Bazemore Logs 25 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore posted a decent fantasy line in just 25 minutes against the Kings on Thursday, scoring 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting while picking up three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.

Jeremy Lin Leads Hawks In Scoring On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin had his best game of the season on Thursday, scoring a team-high 23 points on 8-for-13 shooting in 23 minutes off the bench against the Kings.

Buddy Hield Stays Hot Against Hawks

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield extended his streak with 20-plus point games to five on Thursday, scoring 27 points in a blowout win against Atlanta. He also provided six assists, five rebounds, two steals, and one block. Hield has looked like Stephen Curry lately, dropping bombs from deep for fun and he continued that […]

Gary Harris Shots Poorly

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris had an inefficient performance on Thursday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harris scored 14 points shooting four of twelve from the floor but five of five from the charity stripe. In the contest, Thursday Harris also had three assists and two blocks as well. This was Harris' third game in […]

Lou Williams Leads Clippers in Scoring on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams had a strong outing off the bench in the loss to the 76ers on Thursday. Williams only logged 24 minutes, but he racked up 26 points on 9-for-19 shooting. He went 2-for-5 from deep and converted on 6-of-7 free-throw attempts. Sweet Lou dished out two assists, grabbed one rebound […]

Jeremy Lamb Approaches Double-Double in Loss

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb flirted with a double-double on Thursday. He scored 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting, and struggled from deep going 1-for-7 from deep. He added nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in the game. It wasn't the best performance for Lamb, who continues to struggle with his shot, but he […]

Malik Monk Scores 21 Points In 23 Minutes

Monk scored 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting from the field, converting on 4-of-12 three-point opportunities. He dished out two assists but turned the ball over three times. He logged 23 minutes off the bench. Monk is competing for playing […]

Devin Booker Questionable For Friday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Raptors. Booker, who left the game against the Lakers last Wednesday early, has missed the Suns last three contests due to the injury. But Suns interim general manager James Jones told Arizona Sports that he expects the 22-year-old scorer will be […]

Jaylen Brown Out Against The Bucks

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown (foot) is out for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Coach Brad Stevens isn’t sure who will start in his place yet, and we probably won't know until closer to tip-off. It makes sense that both Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier should directly benefit from Brown being out. We […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Struggles In Loss To The Lakers

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. had an all-around dreadful performance against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. He shot a putrid 2-of-9 from the field and matched his three assists, with three turnovers, in 22 minutes. The low minutes can be explained by the fact that the Mavericks got throttled when he […]

J.J. Barea Has Double-Double Off The Bench

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea had himself a solid passing game off the bench against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. He scored 15 points, on 7-for-15 shooting and dished out 10 dimes, in his 25 minutes. However, owners shouldn't rush to their waiver wires to grab Barea after this game. The Lakers are […]

Caris LeVert Scores 19 Points Against Pistons

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert continues to be an effective part of Brooklyn's attack. On Wednesday against the Pistons, LeVert scored 19 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added in six rebounds and six assists. He'll look to keep that work up on Friday against a Rockets team that has allowed the 11th-most points and sixth-most […]

Zach LaVine Puts Up 24 Shots Against Nuggets

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine continued to be aggressive, putting up a team-high 24 shots on Wednesday. LaVine ended the night 11-for-24 going on to finish with 28 points, seven assists, five rebounds, one steal, and a block. Like we’ve said before, any night LaVine shoots around at least 50 percent he’ll probably have […]

Brandon Ingram Scores 16 Points In Win

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Brandon Ingram had a pretty rough shooting night even though his club picked up a win against the Dallas Mavericks. He scored 16 points, but shot just 6-for-16 from the field. Ingram didn't do much else to make up for the poor shooting, with just three rebounds, one assist, and […]

Joe Harris Shoots Well Against Pistons

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris scored 23 points on 8-for-14 shooting in Wednesday's overtime win over the Detroit Pistons. He made four of his seven three-point attempts while also grabbing five rebounds. Harris led the team in minutes and it's becoming more and more apparent that the Nets want him and his shooting touch on […]

Josh Hart Has A Miserable Performance Against The Mavericks

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Josh Hart had an awful game against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. He didn't do much of anything, with just three points, one steal, and one three-pointer, in 16 ineffective minutes. After Hart’s awesome start to the season, he’s cooled off considerably. The last four games, he’s scoring just 7.3 […]

James Harden is Doubtful for Friday

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Eric Gordon is expected to […]

Jimmy Butler Intends to Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) plans to play against the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Butler said that he needed to rest on Wednesday due to general soreness.

Jaylen Brown is Questionable for Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like Brown has plantar fasciitis which could continue to be a lingering issue for him. The Celtics may decide to take the cautious approach and rest Brown on Thursday. Fantasy owners probably won't get an official answer until […]

Wilson Chandler Remains Out on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Head coach Brett Brown hinted on Monday that Chandler was getting close to a return. However, Chandler still remains without a timetable.

Josh Jackson Continues To Struggle

Phoenix Suns shooting guard/small forward Josh Jackson continued to struggle as his club got blown away on Wednesday by the San Antonio Spurs.

Marco Belinelli Scores 14 Points

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Marco Belinelli came off the bench and provided a solid spark to help his club get the win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

DeMar DeRozan Scores 25 Points In The Easy Win

Donovan Mitchell Scores 26 Points, Tweaks Hamstring In Loss

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell tweaked his hamstring but still managed to put up 26 points, but it was not enough as his squad got the loss on Wednesday. Mitchell was 10-for-24 from the floor and dished out five dimes on the night with a block and a steal. Keep an eye on his status […]
