LaMarcus Aldridge Notches Five Blocks Against Former Team

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge delivered a quiet 15-point performance during Monday’s win over the Portland Trail Blazers, but his outing was saved by a five-block effort, tying his most in a single game since the 2014-15 year. His 6-for-17 night shooting the rock is an aberration, as owners can revel in the […]

Julius Randle Notches Another Double-Double During Victory

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle has developed a reputation as a double-double machine for good reason. Despite his odd eight turnover performance Monday against the Chicago Bulls, Randle was still relied upon enough to collect 13 points and 14 rebounds, good for his fourth straight double-double to open the year. It was far […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Logs Double-Double Despite Thumb Ailment

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. entered Monday’s contest against the New York Knicks with a thumb issue that popped him up on the injury report, although it didn’t appear to hamper him whatsoever during his 20-point, 10-rebound evening.

Joel Embiid Will Play And Start In Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) went through warm ups and will "give it a go" Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks.

With Embiid's return, Matisse […]

Derrick Favors Late Scratch Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. This was a surprise as there were no injury designations before being ruled out. However, the Pelicans PR team is calling this "knee soreness". Hopefully this is not serious, but given the injury history of Favors, owners […]

Joel Embiid Participates in Shootaround

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) was able to participate in Monday's shootaround. He missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but this is a good sign that he'll play.

Dwight Powell Could Play on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Check back on Tuesday […]

Harry Giles is Getting Closer to A Return

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, Giles was listed as questionable for this one, so he's getting closer to taking the court. He'll offer some upside with Marvin Bagley (thumb) sidelined for a significant amount of time. Giles is only worth a look […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Racks Up Double-Double In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns delivered another double-double during Sunday’s win over the Miami Heat. By Towns’ absurd standards to open the year, the 23-point, 11-rebound outing seems almost pedestrian, even as he stroked four three-pointers and added four assists and two steals.

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin ended a five-game point drought on Sunday, recording a goal and an assist in a 5-4 loss to St. Louis.

Harry Giles Could Make Season Debut Monday

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Harry Giles has yet to take the floor during the 2019-20 season and has his status for Monday’s game against the Denver Nuggets up in the air due to a sore left knee. Sacramento is likely to ease Giles back into the rotation no matter when he makes his return, so […]

Martin Maldonado Gets Game 5 Start

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado will start and hit eighth in Game 5 of the World Series. The veteran backup smoked a pinch-hit home run in Game 2 and will be called upon to guide starter Gerrit Cole in a pivotal game.

Joel Embiid Earns Questionable Tag For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Monday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks due to both a sprained right ankle and sutures for a lip laceration.

Robinson Chirinos Sits For Game 5

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the lineup for Game 5 of the World Series against the Nationals. The veteran has come up huge in the past two games, going 4-for-9 with one double, two home runs and three runs batted in. It certainly can be considered a curious move by manager A.J. […]
