Jaylen Brown Struggles to Hit from Deep

Boston Celtics shooting guard/forward Jaylen Brown cooled down a bit in Friday’s loss to the Pacers. He finished with 16 points but shot only 2-for-7 from downtown. Despite the off performance, February has been kind to the sophomore lottery pick, as he’s averaging 16.0 points on the month, up from his season average of 14.3. […]

Eric Gordon Returns From Injury With 12 Points

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) was in the lineup again on Friday against Denver, scoring 12 points in 27 minutes off the bench. Gordon shot 2-for-5 from deep and 4-for-9 overall, making both of his attempts from the charity stripe. It's good to see he managed to play 27 minutes after sitting out […]

James Harden Scores 28 Points in 27 Minutes

Houston Rockets guard James Harden played only 27 minutes in Friday's blowout win over Denver, but still managed to score 28 points. He went 5-for-11 from behind the arc, 9-for-11 from the free throw line and shot 7-for-16 overall. Harden also had 11 assists and seven rebounds in what was another superb fantasy line. He'll […]

Avery Bradley With Season-High Eight Rebounds

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley finished with a near double-double (10 points and eight rebounds) in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Bradley did not add anything else to his stat line and has not made a three since arriving in Los Angeles. He is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and […]

Austin Rivers Returns and Scores 16 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers returned from his 18-game absence to pour in 16 points in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Rivers drew the start with Milos Teodosic (foot) out and showed little signs of rust by adding five assists to go along with two rebounds and two makes from downtown. The […]

Lou Williams With an Efficient 26 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams continued to roll with 26 points, six assists and two steals in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Williams was super efficient while making seven of 12 shots from the floor to go along with four of six from deep and eight of nine from the charity stripe. The return […]

J.J. Redick Keeps It Going Against Pelicans

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was an effective trigger man for the Sixers on Friday, draining three triples on his way to scoring 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Redick was rebounding the ball at a high rate in this one, coming down with seven boards against New Orleans in Philly. He also added two […]

Jrue Holiday Struggles in Philly

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday struggled on Friday night in the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Holiday played only 23 minutes, finishing things up with an underwhelming nine points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field. Nonetheless, Holiday can't take all of the credit for his inefficient play, as his entire team shot an embarrassing […]

Milos Teodosic Questionable on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Owners will need to check back closer to game time for more information on his status. Lou Williams and Avery Bradley will be busy if Milos is forced out of action on Friday. Austin Rivers (foot) is questionable for […]

Austin Rivers is Questionable on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (ankle, heel) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was targeting a Feb. 9 return, so Rivers is on schedule. This is the first time we've seen him tagged with anything other than out, so that is positive. Rivers does not have much fantasy upside with […]

George Hill, Jordan Clarkson, Rodney Hood Not Expected to Play Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guards George Hill, Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood are not expected to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. The trio is expected to play a significant role once active, but it does not sound like that is going to be on Friday. Hill is worth owning in standard leagues and should see a […]

Devin Harris Ruled Out Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Devin Harris has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets acquired Harris at the deadline, but he won't be ready to play on Friday. Harris will reportedly meet the team in Phoenix for Saturday's contest versus the Suns. When he does eventually suit up, Harris will play […]

Dwyane Wade Expected to Come Off Bench

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat acquired Wade at the deadline, but do not expect his fantasy value to rise much. His homecoming is a great story, but the Heat have plenty of depth at the shooting guard position. Wayne Ellington (shoulder) […]

Wayne Ellington is Probable Versus Bucks

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (shoulder) is probable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Elliington is "somewhere between probable and questionable" for Friday's contest. He did not play on Wednesday, but was able to get up some shots at practice on Thursday. Dwyane Wade and Luke Babbitt were added […]

Eric Gordon is Questionable on Friday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gordon returned from a back injury and played 28 minutes on Tuesday. He sat out on Wednesday after experiencing discomfort in his back, so it is unclear if he'll be able to suit up on Friday. Forward/center […]

Jaylen Brown Plays 38 Minutes in Overtime Victory

Boston Celtics shooting guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored 18 points as he played 38 minutes in Thursday’s overtime win. One of Boston’s many switchy, lengthy defenders, Brown is heavily relied upon in crunch time. He’s also the second option for scoring in Boston, so it’s good to see he’s trending in the right direction as the […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Leads Charge In Win Over Thunder

Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored a team-high 20 points Thursday night against a Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony-less Thunder team. The entire Lakers had a fantastic night from the field and Pope barely outscored teammates Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma. While it was a very mediocre night stat-wise for the entire team, it […]

Wesley Matthews Scores 17 Points on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews had a rough night from downtown on Thursday against the Warriors, making only two of his nine triples, but he still finished with 17 points. Matthews, who also had a couple of steals, shot 7-for-17 overall in the first game following the trade deadline. Dallas was reportedly shopping Matthews […]

J.J. Barea Drops Eight Dimes in a Start

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea started instead of Harrison Barnes (ankle) on Thursday against Golden State, playing 28 minutes and finishing with six points and eight assists. Barea went 2-for-9 from the floor and missed all five treys. The 33-year-old sharpshooter is having trouble finding the net after returning from injury, shooting with just 27.6 […]

D.J. Augustin Takes Advantage of New Role

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin scored 18 points in a win over Atlanta on Thursday. Elfrid Payton was traded earlier Thursday, and Augustin took over as the starter at point guard. He played over 35 minutes and when the game was on the line, he scored seven of his 18 points in the last 3:13 […]

Evan Fournier Produces Post Trade Deadline

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored a game-high 22 points in a win over Atlanta. Fournier has been inconsistent of late as his name has floated in and out of trade rumors. Now that the deadline is over, Fournier dropped his highest scoring game in almost a month. He was 7-for-14 from the field and […]

DeMar DeRozan Fails to Hit Double Digits Against the Knicks

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan didn't look like he should be starting in the All-Star game against the Knicks on Thursday, scoring just eight points in a team-high 28 minutes, shooting an awful 2-for-11 from the field while hitting one from deep. On a positive note, DeRozan did display some across-the-board production in this […]

C.J. Miles Keeps Shooting on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles maintained his shooting stroke against the Knicks on Thursday, scoring 11 points with three triples, going 4-for-8 from the field in the contest. Miles was one of five Raptors off the bench to hit double digits in this one. His production didn't end there, however, as he added five rebounds, […]

Delon Wright Puts up Third Straight Solid Performance

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright was effective off the bench on Thursday, scoring 11 points on a near-perfect 5-for-6 shooting, which included one three-pointer made against the Knicks. Wright wasn't his usual defensive self in this one, only coming away with one steal in the contest, but he still had a productive night, adding three […]

Kent Bazemore Has a Game to Forget

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kent Bazemore shot an abysmal 3-for-11 from the field and missed all three of his attempts from behind the arc in his team's two-point loss to the Magic. He did manage to collect four rebounds and four assists while snagging a steal and two blocks, which helped his case, but when […]

Jonathon Simmons Will Start on Thursday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) will start against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. He was listed as questionable heading into the contest, but was always expected to play. Simmons dropped a career-high 34 points against the Cavs on Tuesday. Elfrid Payton has been traded, which means Simmons should see plenty of chances with the […]

Nets Acquire Dante Cunningham At Deadline

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal that sends guard/forward Rashad Vaughn to New Orleans in exchange for forward Dante Cunningham. Vaughn has been traded for the second time this week but probably won't see much playing time in New Orleans. He won't see enough time on the court to own him in any […]

Devin Harris Heading to Denver

Guard Devin Harris has been traded to the Denver Nuggets in a three-team trade. Doug McDermott heads to the Mavs while Emmanuel Mudiay joins the Knicks. Harris is a quality veteran guard but won't offer much to the Nuggets roster. Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and Will Barton are all healthy and above Harris on the […]

James Ennis Traded to Pistons

The Memphis Grizzlies have decided to move guard/forward James Ennis in exchange for Detroit Pistons power forward Brice Johnson and a second-round pick. Ennis should add some depth and length to the Pistons perimeter, but this move does not increase his fantasy value. Johnson will be the third-string power forward behind JaMychal Green and Jarell […]

Elfrid Payton Headed to Phoenix

The Phoenix Suns have acquired point guard Elfrid Payton from the Orlando Magic in exchange for a second-round pick. The Magic have been reportedly looking to dump Payton's salary for quite some time. Payton will likely be starting next to Devin Booker. Tyler Ulis and Josh Gray will lose minutes and value with this move. […]
