Terrance Ferguson Puts Up Dud Against The Dubs
Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Terrance Ferguson did almost nothing in his 27 minutes of work against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. He went scoreless and only had four rebounds, one assist and one turnover. Albeit, it was against a tough Warriors squad, Ferguson appears to have little to no fantasy value even […]

J.J. Redick Provides Bench Scoring In Season Opener
Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick was moved to a bench role this season with Markelle Fultz taking his place in the starting unit, but the veteran guard is still seeing plenty of minutes off the bench and is expected to play with the starters in the second half of games. In Tuesday's season-opening loss to […]

Klay Thompson Has Ugly Shooting Night In Win
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson struggled in Tuesday's 108-100 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 14 points. He really had to work for those points, and he connected on just five of his 20 field-goal attempts, including a dismal 1-for-8 from behind the three-point line. He salvaged the stat line somewhat with […]

Andre Iguodala Dealing With Tight Calf Already
Golden State Warriors guard Andre Iguodala (calf) was battling some left calf tightness in Tuesday's 108-100 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was the same leg he experienced a knee issue during last season's playoffs. The swingman finished with two points, two rebounds and two assists in his 10 minutes off the bench. If […]

Allen Crabbe, Shabazz Napier Out Against Detroit
Brooklyn Nets guards Allen Crabbe (ankle) and Shabazz Napier (hamstring) won't suit up for Wednesday's season-opening meeting with the Detroit Pistons.

Gordon Hayward Expected To Have Minutes Restriction
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward will be limited to 25-30 minutes for the first couple weeks of the season.

It remains to be seen how much this affects Hayward's value, […]

Dion Waiters is Sidelined for Wednesday's Season Opener
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (ankle) is not going to be active for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Orlando Magic. Waiters had ankle and foot surgery back in January, but doesn't seem to have made much progress. Wayne Ellington (ankle) could be sidelined on Wednesday as well. That means Josh Richardson will be looking […]

Markelle Fultz Named Starting Shooting Guard
Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz has been named the starting shooting guard for Tuesday's season opener, according to head coach Brett Brown. It sounds like Brown has opted to use J.J. Redick in the second half in place of Fultz. It's going to be interesting to see what the 76ers decide to do with Fultz. […]

Jamal Crawford Signs with Suns
Free-agent guard Jamal Crawford has agreed to a deal with the Phoenix Suns. It's a one-year deal and Crawford will receive the veteran's minimum.

Terrance Ferguson Returns to Practice
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson (concussion) returned to practice on Sunday. He should be ready to go for the regular season opener after clearing the baseline concussion protocol tests. Ferguson could begin the season in the starting five, but that doesn't automatically mean he has fantasy value. He could have short-term value, but once […]

Free-agent guard Jamal Crawford has been offered the veteran's minimum by the Phoenix Suns, according to John Gambadoro. Crawford has reportedly been talking with the Suns over the last week or two.

Allen Crabbe Still Not Practicing
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) is still not practicing after suffering an ankle injury last Monday.

Courtney Lee Practices on Sunday
New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) was a full participant in Sunday's practice. He did not play at all during the preseason. This is the first time he's done anything since his neck issue.

Stephen Curry Scores All Of His 16 Points In The First Quarter
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry had it going early as he scored 16 points in the first quarter but played just 12 minutes due to a mild illness. There is no need to worry here as even if Curry was not feeling a bit under the weather he most likely would not have played […]

Marco Belinelli Contributes Off The Bench
San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli finished with five points, three rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot while hitting a three-pointer across 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's preseason game at Orlando. The production wasn't that great, and he was 2-of-9 from the field. However, the key stat here were his minutes, as […]

Rodney Hood Hits Blackjack In Preseason Loss
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rodney Hood wasn't terribly effective from the floor in Friday's preseason loss against the Detroit Pistons, but he ended up with a team-best 21 points across 22 minutes.
