DeMar DeRozan Scores 19 Points Despite Struggling from the Field

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan shot just 7-for-22 from the field on Friday but still managed to notch 19 points in his team-high 37 minutes of action. DeRozan was a good contributor almost everywhere else, however, chipping in six rebounds and a game-high eight assists in the loss to Utah. He also had two […]

C.J. Miles Scores 10 Points Against the Jazz

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles was decent on Friday against Utah, scoring 10 points with two treys in the losing effort. Miles also added two rebounds while playing some fine defense, picking up both a block and a steal in this one. His numbers rarely jump off the page, and he hasn't exactly been a […]

Marcus Smart Out Two Weeks

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) has been ruled out for at least the next two weeks. He suffered a hand laceration when he cut himself on glass at the team hotel. He did not play on Wednesday and was listed as day-to-day. That is not the case and Smart will be sidelined for at […]

Tyreke Evans is Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is questionable to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) and Ben McLemore (knee) are also listed as questionable for this contest. The injuries continue to pile up for the Grizzlies, but owners will likely need to wait until closer to tip-off before final […]

Evan Turner Ruled Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner (personal) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be just the second game Turner has missed all season. It's unclear the reasoning for his absence, but hopefully it's just one game. Maurice Harkless is expected to rejoin the rotation without Turner playing on […]

Jerryd Bayless Questionable for Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) is questionable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. He's been unable to play the last three contests due to a sore left wrist. Timothe Luwawu and Justin Anderson played significant minutes on Wednesday. T.J. McConnell (personal) is expected to return on Friday after a one-game absence. If […]

Dwyane Wade Questionable on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade (personal) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Wade was absent for shootaround and his status for Friday's game is up in the air. Wade did not participate in shootaround due to an undisclosed personal matter. Owners will likely have to wait until closer to tip-off before […]

Courtney Lee Picks up Four Steals in Denver

New York Knicks shooting guard Courtney Lee wasn't much of a factor in the points column on Thursday against the Nuggets but managed to contribute for owners elsewhere. Lee hit one of his two attempts from deep to finish with just seven points in addition to 3-for-6 shooting from the field in this one. However, […]

Wayne Ellington Splashes Six Three-Pointers

Miami Heat shooting guard Wayne Ellington provided a spark with his hot shooting Thursday night against the Sacramento Kings. Ellington was moved back to his usual bench role with point guard Goran Dragic (knee) returning from injury, but that didn't stop the Man with the Golden Arm from leading the bench in scoring. Ellington poured […]

Jimmy Butler Remains Out Thursday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will sit Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors. This will mark Butler's fourth straight game out with a knee injury. In his absence, Nemanja Bjelica will start for the fourth straight game and has played admirably. Over the last three games, Bjelica has averaged 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds […]

Gary Harris Available Against The Knicks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) will be available to play Thursday night against the New York Knicks. Harris was listed as questionable coming into the game, but ultimately feels good enough to play. Being available does not necessarily mean Harris will play his normal minutes, making him a risky option for DFS contests. Guards […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Out Thursday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Thursday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. There are no details circulating as to why Hardaway is sitting, but it is most likely a maintenance day as the Knicks enter the first night of a back-to-back. Forward Lance Thomas will likely bump into […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out Ahead Of Friday Night

Utah Jazz shooting guard Rodney Hood (leg) has already been ruled out a day before Friday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Hood will miss his fourth straight contest with a lower leg contusion, and the fact he was ruled out a day in advance is a bit concerning. Guard Alec Burks will continue to see […]

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. He was upgraded to probable on Wednesday, but the Heat have decided to be cautious with Johnson. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said he's making good progress and they hope to give him a couple of more days. Wayne Ellington and […]

Goran Dragic Expected to Play Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is probable for Thursday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. Dragic will "try to play" but has missed the last two games with a knee issue. He'll warm up with the intent to play, but it sounds like a game-time decision. He's expected to return barring any setbacks, and his […]

Wesley Matthews Scores Season-High 29 Points on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews was one of the team's few bright spots in Wednesday's 104-97 loss to the Houston Rockets. He made half of his 14 three-point attempts on his way to a season-high 29 points. Matthews went 10-for-18 overall from the floor and filled the rest of his stat sheet with five […]

Eric Gordon Breaks a Slump with Multiple Treys

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon bounced back well from a shooting slump he had over a couple of games. Amazingly, the league's reigning three-point champ didn't make a single shot from deep, missing 16 attempts straight. He managed to end the shocking streak in the middle of the second quarter in Dallas, sinking his […]

James Harden Posts Double-Double In Dallas

Houston Rockets guard James Harden recorded his first double-double of 2018 against the Dallas Mavericks, getting 25 points and 13 assists in 33 minutes. The Beard hit six treys and shot 9-for-16 overall in the 104-97 win in which he led his team with a plus-30 rating. Harden is slowly getting back to his best […]

All-Star Victor Oladipo Has Solid Outing Versus Phoenix Suns

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo had a solid game in the win over the Phoenix Suns. He finished with 21 points, nine assists, four rebounds, and three steals, doing it all in only 33 minutes despite playing a few short minutes in the fourth quarter. Oladipo has played great as of late, which is now […]

DeMar DeRozan Quiet in Easy Win

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan didn't look like himself on Wednesday, scoring a modest 14 points on a poor 4-for-12 from the field and hitting only one three in his 26 minutes. DeRozan didn't really make up for the shortcomings in scoring either, adding just three boards, four assists and a steal in this […]

Donovan Mitchell Misses The Mark In Win

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell struggled from the field on Wednesday night but still managed to help lead Utah to an overtime win in Detroit. Mitchell shot just six of 21 from the field, including only one of six from long range while bringing in 15 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals in the […]

Reggie Bullock Out Wednesday, Ish Smith Moved To Bench

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz. There is no surprise here as Bullock was doubtful to play coming into Wednesday. Stanley Johnson will replace him in the starting lineup, while coach Stan Van Gundy makes another lineup change at the point guard position. […]

Tyreke Evans And Jarell Martin Out Against Spurs

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without point guard Tyreke Evans (illness) and forward Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) for Wednesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Both were considered questionable coming into the game, but were ultimately ruled out. In the absence of Evans, guards Mario Chalmers, Wayne Selden and Andrew Harrison will all receive […]

Tyreke Evans Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is considered questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He was not at Tuesday's practice and was excused due to flu-like symptoms. Memphis is already short-handed, so Evans being sidelined would create more minutes for Wayne Selden, Ben McLemore, Mario Chalmers and Dillon Brooks. Evans […]

Jamal Crawford is Questionable Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jamal Crawford (toe) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Crawford is feeling better, but it's unlikely he'll play on Wednesday. He's listed as day-to-day, so if he does sit on Wednesday, then he could play on Thursday against Golden State. Marcus Georges-Hunt […]

Jimmy Butler is Doubtful on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is doubtful to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. It looks like Butler will be on the sidelines for the third straight game Wednesday, which will result in Nemanja Bjelica joining the starting five. Andrew Wiggins, Jeff Teague and Karl-Anthony Towns will be asked to step up […]

Kris Dunn Won't Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (concussion) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said there is no change in Dunn's status, so don't expect him to suit up on Friday versus the Lakers. Jerian Grant is likely looking at two more starts and Denzel Valentine will back him up off […]

Reggie Bullock Doubtful on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) is doubtful to play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Head coach Stan Van Gundy said Bullock will be available, but it's unlikely that he'll actually get out on the court. Luke Kennard will likely replace Bullock in the starting lineup. Stanley Johnson and Anthony Tolliver could see extra […]

Jerryd Bayless Ruled Out Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. This marks his third straight game on the sidelines, and he'll be joined by teammates J.J. Redick (leg) and T.J. McConnell (personal). Timothe Luwawu and Justin Anderson could be forced into heavy minutes on Wednesday. Neither player will likely be much […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (leg) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. This game marks the third straight contest without Hood in the rotation. It's unclear when Hood will return to the lineup. Joe Johnson, Alec Burks, and Joe Ingles will see increased playing time with Hood unable to suit […]
