Reggie Perry Sent To G-League

Brooklyn Nets center/forward Reggie Perry has been sent to the team's G-League affiliate for the G-League bubble season in Orlando. Perry flashed some decent play during his brief time in Brooklyn, but the team signed Norvel Pelle recently, who'll be that emergency big at the end of the bench. Perry wasn't fantasy relevant and Pelle […]

Patrice Bergeron Finishes Four-Point Night With Game-Winner

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime victory against Philadelphia, adding three assists for a spectacular four-point night.

Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Risers - Week 7

“Oldies but goodies” dominate this week’s set of dynasty risers. The youngster of this week’s group is 22, while the average age of the other three members is a shade under 30. And yes, in NBA terms, 30 certainly falls under the “oldie” category – though don’t tell that to 36-year-old MVP/human anomaly LeBron James. […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was labeled "unguardable" by Charlotte forward Miles Bridges when the Sixers star had 34 points and 11 rebounds in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis scored 18 points with nine rebounds, four triples, three assists, three steals, and a block in just 17 minutes of a blowout win over the Pacers.

Steven Adams Available Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (calf) is available to play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Adams was out for his team's last game, with Jaxson Hayes getting the start but Willy Hernangomez benefitting the most. Adams should slide back into the starting five, though Hernangomez will likely see an increase in work in Adams' […]

Steven Adams A Game-Time Decision Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (calf) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. If Adams is unable to go, expect to see another start for Jaxson Hayes and some increased playing time for Josh Hart, who played 31 minutes with Adams out on Monday. Hart would be an intriguing DFS […]

Morgan Frost Out For Season Due To Injury

Philadelphia Flyers forward Morgan Frost will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a separated shoulder. The 21-year-old, who is considered one of the Flyers' best forward prospects, suffered the injury on a hit from Sabres defenseman Jake McCabe on January 19.

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love (calf) is back on the practice floor as he continues to rehab a strained right calf that has kept him out since Dec. 27.

D'Angelo Russell, Naz Reid Cleared To Play Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (quadriceps) and power forward/center Naz Reid (wrist) have been given the green light to take the floor for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs. Russell's presence on the injury report of late has been perfunctory, as he has appeared in the team's past three contests as he works through a […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Faces Multi-Game Absence

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) will not suit up Wednesday and likely faces a further absence due to a hip injury. Jakob Poeltl will start in place of the veteran versus Minnesota, a lineup shift that is likely to remain in place so long as Aldridge is unavailable. Formally a cornerstone of […]

Jakob Poeltl Confirmed Starter Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl will start for forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was to be expected as Poeltl was the starter when Aldridge sat earlier this season and Rudy Gay (hip) is also sidelined. Poeltl has been playing well lately with averages of 5.5 points on 71.4 percent from […]

Andre Drummond Will Play Against Clippers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (back) will play and start Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Drummond missed Monday's game with a sore back, but appears to have healed enough to play his usual amount of minutes Wednesday. Jarrett Allen went off in a spot start on Monday, but will be regulated back to the […]

Myles Turner Available To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (shoulder) is good to go Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner had some shoulder soreness following Tuesday's game, but will play through the injury in a marquee match up against the reigning one seed Bucks. Turner has been nothing short of incredible this season and has played through multiple injuries […]

Onyeka Okongwu Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Dallas due to a sore left Achilles. Okongwu's absence marks his second consecutive contest on the sidelines, paving the way for Bruno Fernando to snag a handful of minutes behind Clint Capela in the frontcourt. Okongwu's inability to stay on the […]

Kevon Looney To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (ankle) will be re-evaluated by the team in two weeks. Looney suffered a sprained left ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics and leaves Golden State extremely thin at the five. Draymond Green picked up most of the center minutes after Looney's departure and there is no immediate […]

Jonas Valanciunas Will Remain Sidelined Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas will remain out Thursday against the Houston Rockets. Valanciunas has not played since Jan. 16 due to the league's COVID-19 protocols and does not appear that close to returning. Xavier Tillman Sr. has been starting and putting up modest numbers while hovering around the 20-25-minute range of playing time. Tillman has […]

Nerlens Noel Probable Heading Into Wednesday Night

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (groin) is probable heading into the mid-week matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran didn't play on Saturday against the Clippers but was able to suit up against the Bulls during the first game of the series between the two clubs, finishing with eight points, seven rebounds, and five […]

Kevon Looney Could Miss Time

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (ankle) could be in danger of missing multiple games.

Christian Dvorak Delivers Two Goals On Tuesday

Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Dvorak posted a pair of goals in his team's 4-3 defeat to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night.

Myles Turner Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is dealing with shoulder soreness, but looked fantastic during Tuesday's contest. Possibly, the Pacers might play the cautious approach and give Turner the night off. Doug McDermott and Goga Bitadze would be in line for more minutes […]

Jordan Staal Posts Two Assists In Tuesday's Win

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal registered a pair of primary assists in his team's 4-3 shootout victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Tuesday night.
