David Nwaba Gets Guaranteed Deal Through Season

Chicago Bulls guard/forward David Nwaba has been given a guaranteed contract through the remainder of the season. He has quickly become one of head coach Fred Hoiberg's favorite players on defense.

Jamal Murray's Exceptional Season Continues

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray continued to bomb away from downtown, adding three more triples to finish with 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting.

Stephen Curry Torches Clippers

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry dropped 45 points in a win over the Clippers on Saturday. Chef Curry would connect on eight treys, including 15 of 16 from the line.

Sell-High Alert: Lou Williams Stays Hot

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams continued to sizzle on Saturday as he dropped 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including a perfect 7-for-7 from the charity stripe.

Victor Oladipo May Play Against Chicago

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Terry Rozier Still Feeling it on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier refused to cool down on Friday, scoring 14 points on an effective 6-for-11 from the field, including two from downtown.

Jaylen Brown Scores 11 Points On 15 Shots

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown had a decent performance on Friday, hitting one triple on his way to 11 points against Minnesota.

Jimmy Butler Was Very Inefficient Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Jimmy Butler struggled in the game Friday night against the Boston Celtics. Butler scored 14 points, shooting 3-for-12 from the field, but hit just 8-for-10 from the charity stripe. Butler did have six assists and three steals to add to the stat sheet. This game was definitely an aberration for Butler, […]

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Waiters hasn't played since Dec. 22 and isn't practicing with the team.

Austin Rivers To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers (heel) will miss Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder after further testing revealed a bruised right heel.

Omri Casspi Out Thursday

Golden State Warriors small forward Omri Casspi (back) will miss his second straight game Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Casspi was in line for big minutes with Kevin Durant (calf) already ruled out, but a strained lower back will keep Casspi out again. With their two top small forwards out Thursday, the Warriors will […]

Stanley Johnson is Doubtful for Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) is considered doubtful to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. He's still not practicing and is on the verge of missing his third straight game. He's averaging 7.5 points, 3.7 boards and 1.2 steals per game on 35.3 percent shooting, so he wasn't a good fantasy option even […]

Austin Rivers is Questionable on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (Achilles) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dwyane Wade, along with the rest of his teammates, struggled against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.

NBA Waiver Wire Pickups: Deep League Adds for Week 12

We're almost at the halfway point of the season, and it's getting harder and harder to find quality options on the wire, while it's getting easier and easier to cut bait on dead weight. Everyone in your league is probably thinking the same way, so it's time to look deeper and deeper for those guys that […]

DeMar DeRozan Continues Hot Three-Point Shooting

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan stayed hot on Wednesday as he dropped 35 points to help his team beat the Chicago Bulls. His 10-for-20 from the field is nothing new for DeRozan, but what does stand out was his 5-for-8 from deep. It is still way too soon to expect this kind of deep-ball production […]
