Nene Hilario Expected to Return Thursday

Houston Rockets forward/center Nene Hilario (knee) is expected to return against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. He's missed the last six games with a knee issue, but has a good chance of returning against the Wolves. There should be official confirmation closer to game time, but Nene doesn't offer much value in fantasy hoops. His […]

Jonas Valanciunas Has The Last Laugh Against the Pistons

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas seems to always have extra motivation when playing against Andre Drummond and the Pistons, as the two names have come up in trade rumors in the past. Valanciunas and Drummod were doing battle in the Air Canada Centre in this one, and though Drummond had the better line (25 points, […]

Serge Ibaka Flops on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka disappeared against the Pistons, scoring just one bucket in his 23 minutes.

DeAndre Jordan Out Wednesday As Expected

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Frank Kaminsky is Probable Against Wizards

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He tweaked his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Detroit Pistons. It looks like he might not need to miss any time, but owners should check back closer to game time.

Orlando Magic center Bismack Biyombo continued his dominant play, this time against Minnesota on Tuesday. Biyombo scored 10 points and grabbed 16 rebounds while tallying five blocks on the evening.

Khem Birch Has Career Game Against Minnesota

Orlando Magic center Khem Birch posted 12 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in 18 minutes on Tuesday against Minnesota.

Frank Kaminsky Questionable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky (ankle) is questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. He sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Pistons. It wouldn't be surprising to see Kaminsky sit out on Wednesday, but more information should be known after Wednesday's shootaround. If Kaminsky is sidelined, Marvin […]

Nikola Jokic Draws Ideal Matchup
