Larry Nance Jr. Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) has been deemed unavailable to suit up for Monday's contest versus the Lakers as he battles a sprained wrist.

NBA Fantasy Weekly Streamers for Week 6 (Jan 25 - Jan 31)

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 6

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Another week of NBA action is upon us. Did y'all see the Cleveland Cavaliers win back-to-back games against Brooklyn this week? Is Cleveland...a playoff team? Is it too early for me to be suggesting that? Will they still trade Andre Drummond at some point to open up more minutes for Jarrett Allen? We'll see, I […]

Fantasy Basketball Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Welcome to our weekly look at waiver wire picks up in points leagues! More postponed games and teams not being able to field at least 8 players has been the current talk of the NBA. Will every team make it to 72 games this year? For some news about teams that actually played, somehow the […]

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz registered a trio of points (one goal, two assists) as his team secured a 3-2 defeat over the Nashville Predators on Sunday.

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo logged his third consecutive double-double during Sunday's win over Atlanta, finishing with 27 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists. The two-time reigning MVP has scored at least 22 points in 11 straight outings, remaining aggressive versus the Hawks, shooting 15 free throws while knocking down nine. Antetokounmpo's free-throw issues […]

Nikola Vucevic Notches Second Straight Double-Double

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic delivered his second straight double-double in a losing effort to the Hornets on Sunday. Vucevic struggled to 9 of 22 shooting from the field but had 22 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and two treys in 35 minutes. The big man got off to a scorching start to the season […]

Sean Monahan Scores, Has Eight Shots Against Leafs

Calgary Flames center Sean Monahan had a good outing with a goal and a game-high eight shots on Sunday, but his efforts weren't enough against the Maple Leafs, with the team going down 3-2. Matthew Tkachuk also scored for the Flames, notching one on a power play in the third period. Monahan is closing in […]

Serge Ibaka Continues With Great Shooting

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka scored 17 points in 22 minutes against the Thunder on Sunday, missing just once from the field and at the foul line. He went 7-for-8 from the floor with two triples and shot 1-for-2 at the charity stripe. Ibaka also got close to a double-double with eight rebounds and […]

Trae Young And Clint Capela Ruled Out Sunday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (back) and center Clint Capela (hand) are both ruled out Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Young has been playing through some back tightness, but it looks like it is finally affecting his availability after being a game-time decision on Sunday before being ruled out. Young's absence should leave more […]

Jamie Benn Could Play On Sunday

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Predators. The Stars captain was hurt in the team's season opener against Nashville on Friday when he collided with Viktor Arvidsson in the second period. He returned for a power-play stint a bit later, but then didn't feature […]

Myles Turner Shines On Both Ends Of The Court

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner scored a season-high 25 points and swatted away six shots during a nice all-around performance on Sunday against Toronto, adding four rebounds, three steals, and one assist.

P.J. Washington Will Continue Playing Center

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington filled in at center when Cody Zeller (hand) went down early in the season. On Friday, Zeller returned from his broken wrist, but Washington continued seeing minutes at center. Head coach James Borrego mentioned that he is still figuring out the best mix for his bigs. Honestly, Washington's fantasy numbers […]

Clint Capela Could Miss Sunday's Contest

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This would be a shame considering Capela is coming off one of his best games of his career. John Collins would see more time at center and would be asked to do more on offense, assuming Capela sits. […]

Pius Suter Scores First Career Goals With Hat Trick

Chicago Blackhawks forward Pius Suter was on a roll on Sunday against Detroit, scoring two first-period goals and completing a hat trick in the third. The 24-year-old rookie became the second player in franchise history to post his first three career goals in the same game. He also had a game-high five shots in the […]

Auston Matthews Set To Return On Sunday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (undisclosed) will return from a one-game absence on Sunday. He sat out Friday's 4-2 victory over Edmonton but is now deemed healthy enough to return against Calgary, so his injury must've been a very minuscule problem. Matthews had built a three-game point streak before taking a break for one […]

Chicago Blackhawks forward Carl Soderberg will make his team debut on Sunday against Detroit, replacing Lucas Wallmark in the lineup.

Mark Scheifele Extends Point Streak To Three Games
