Reggie Jackson Expected To Join The Nuggets
Free-agent guard Reggie Jackson is expected to sign with the Denver Nuggets once he clears waivers, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Jackson, who just received a buyout from the Hornets, averaged 10.9 points and shot 35.0% from deep in 52 games with the Clippers this season but couldn't find a consistent role in the […]
Malcolm Brogdon Probable Sunday Vs. Memphis
Boston Celtics point guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. After exiting early in Friday's game vs. the Hornets and playing only 18 minutes, Brogdon looks to return on Sunday vs. the Grizzlies. With Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle) both sidelined, Brogdon should see […]
D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt Shine In Debuts
Los Angeles Lakers point guard D'Angelo Russell and power forward Jarred Vanderbilt thrived in their debuts against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. Dennis Schroder led the team with 26 points, and the Lakers secured the win despite the absence of LeBron James (ankle). Russell looked good as he was placed right into the starting […]
Luka Doncic Returns With 27 Points
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic was back from a four-game absence and put up 27 points in a 133-128 overtime loss to Sacramento Saturday night. Playing in his first game next to Kyrie Irving, Doncic shot 11-for-20 from the field and had a 2-for-9 record with the three-ball. Irving shot 11-for-21 and outscored Doncic by […]
De'Aaron Fox Extends 30-Point Streak
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox outplayed both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on Saturday, leading the team to a 133-128 overtime victory against Dallas with a game-high 36 points. He logged his third consecutive 30-point game with 12-for-23 shooting from the field and with a 12-for-24 performance at the foul line. Fox also had […]
Jalen Brunson Leads The Way For Knicks With 38 Points
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson kept his wonderful campaign going with a game-high 38 points on 11-for-22 shooting Saturday against Utah. Julius Randle added 31 points, and the Knicks finally managed to get to .500 at home with a 126-120 victory. Brunson netted only two times from deep but made major damage at […]
Donovan Mitchell Logs His Fourth Double-Double
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell had another productive night against Chicago on Saturday, putting up his fourth double-double of the season with a game-high 29 points and 10 rebounds. Mitchell, who erupted for 71 points in his previous meeting with the Bulls, shot 10-for-18 from the field with a 3-for-7 record from deep and made […]
Trae Young Delivers Season-High 17 Assists
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young notched his eighth double-double in nine games against San Antonio on Saturday, posting 24 points and a season-high 17 assists. He also bagged four rebounds, one steal and one block, pushing the team to a 125-106 victory. Young shot 9-for-19 from the field, including 2-for-5 from downtown, and had […]
Malcolm Brogdon Likely To Play Versus Memphis
Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is expected to play on Sunday against Memphis. The 30-year-old is dealing with Achilles soreness, an injury that forced him to miss 41 games during the 2021-22 campaign while in Indiana. With Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle) out again, Brogdon will be needed to provide support on […]
Kyle Lowry To Sit Through All-Star Break
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) is going to be sidelined until at least through the All-Star break. The 36-year-old has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, so the organization is going to shut him down. Lowry was struggling before the injury, so hopefully this time off will help him get back to where […]
Jamal Murray To Remain Out On Saturday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. That marks four games in a row that Murray has missed due to right knee inflammation. At this point, it wouldn't be shocking to see Murray sit out until after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Bruce Brown […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Matches Career High With 44 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was unstoppable against the Trail Blazers Friday night, matching his career-high with 44 points in a 138-129 win. He even did it with near-perfect shooting, going 13-for-16 from the field and 18-for-19 at the charity stripe. In 39 minutes on the floor, Gilgeous-Alexander added three rebounds, seven assists, two […]
Ja Morant Outstanding Again Friday Night
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant almost had a 30-point triple-double in Friday's matchup against Minnesota, putting up a game-high 32 points on 13-for-23 shooting with nine rebounds and nine assists. He also snapped up three steals while shooting 3-for-7 from deep. Morant has produced a couple of very strong weeks and finished off last […]
Tyler Herro Torches The Rockets
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro led all scorers with 31 points and almost had a triple-double in Friday's 97-95 win over Houston. He also had a game-high eight assists and shared the best mark of the contest with nine rebounds. Herro hit half of his 10 three-pointers and shot 11-for-20 overall from the field. In […]
Collin Sexton Fills Stat Sheet In Start
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton put together one of the strongest performances of the season in Friday's 122-116 win in Toronto, racking up 22 points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks. Sexton typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, so this outstanding all-around performance must have been very pleasing for fantasy managers. […]
Derrick White Notches Career-High 33 Points
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White made a major impact against the Hornets on Friday, finishing a 127-116 victory with a career-high 33 points and 10 assists. He added three rebounds, one steal and three blocks while shooting 12-for-19 from the field with a superb 8-for-14 performance from three-point land. The Hornets have been horrible defensively […]
James Harden Extends Double-Double Streak
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden rolled through with his fourth consecutive double-double in Friday's 119-108 triumph over the Knicks. He wasn't far off a triple-double either, finishing the game with 20 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists. The Beard added a steal to his account and shot 7-for-17 from the field, including 2-for-8 from downtown. […]
Ricky Rubio Getting The Night Off On Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (knee) won't play on Friday night against New Orleans. The veteran had eight points and two steals in 16 minutes on Wednesday versus the Piston. However, with the Cavs going into a back-to-back, Rubio will sit out on Friday before likely returning for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Chicago Bulls. […]
Jordan Clarkson Sidelined On Friday
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) isn't available against the Toronto Raptors. Clarkson is sidelined with a non-COVID-related illness, so Talen Horton-Tucker may replace him in the starting lineup. Utah traded Mike Conley ahead of the trade deadline, and Russell Westbrook won't play. As a result, Horton-Tucker, who registered 19 points, seven rebounds, and two […]
Mike Conley Available To Make Timberwolves Debut On Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley is officially available to make his debut on just the third team in his career on Friday. His fit alongside Anthony Edwards and eventually Karl-Anthony Towns seems, in theory, to be better than D'Angelo Russell. So far this season, while his scoring has been at a career low, he's averaged […]
Jordan Clarkson Tagged As Questionable On Friday
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (illness) was added to the injury report on Friday with a non-COVID illness that could keep him off the floor against the Toronto Raptors. The 30-year-old has missed only one game so far this season, so this isn't much of a reoccurring theme. Since the team traded away Mike Conley […]
Tre Jones Out Again On Friday Versus Pistons
San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) will miss his fourth consecutive game with left foot soreness. He was originally listed as questionable just as he was for their last game, but he was inevitably downgraded before tipoff. The Spurs will be without seven different players, so there is probably a plethora of players available […]
Luka Doncic Downgraded To Out On Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) will have to wait for at least one more game to debut the new, electric backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving. A right heel contusion has proved to cause too much pain so he was downgraded and will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Friday. This doesn't rule him out […]
Trae Young Gashes The Suns For 36 Points
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was unstoppable against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday in a 116-107 win that moved them back to .500 on the season. The Oklahoma product posted 36 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds, and two steals on 10-for-18 shooting overall, 5-for-8 from beyond the arc, and 11-for-12 from the line. This was […]
Cole Anthony Comes Close To Triple-Double In Win
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony turned in a big game off of the bench during a 115-104 win over the first-seed Denver Nuggets. The 22-year-old finished the game with 17 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks while shooting 8-for-14 from the floor and adding one of two free throws. Anthony has experienced a […]
Dennis Schroder Posts Double-Double In Losing Effort
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder was the beneficiary as Russell Westbrook was shipped to Utah and the new players have yet to make their debuts. Across the 34 minutes that he played, Schroder posted 25 points, 12 assists, two rebounds, and one steal while shooting 10-for-17 from the floor and 1-for-4 from deep. This […]
Donovan Mitchell And Darius Garland Will Return Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are both off of the injury report and are expected to suit up on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. They both sat out on Wednesday leaving the team very thin in the backcourt, but they'll get their star power back in time for a matchup against […]
Devonte' Graham Sent To San Antonio
The Spurs received guard Devonte' Graham (and four second-round picks) from the Pelicans on Thursday. In return, New Orleans landed Josh Richardson. Graham was traded to the Pelicans in August of 2021 after averaging 14.8 points in his final year in Charlotte. Since then, the 27-year-old has seen his production dwindle, recently averaging 5.3 points […]
Reggie Jackson Expected To Receive Buyout
Charlotte Hornets guard Reggie Jackson is not expected to suit up for his new team. The 32-year-old guard was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to Charlotte in exchange for center Mason Plumlee on Thursday. Jackson played well for the Clippers last season, but took a significant step back this season. That being said, the […]
Ricky Rubio Unavailable For Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has appeared in five straight games, but he'll sit out their next contest due to injury management on his left knee. His absence shouldn't have a huge impact with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland both healthy […]
