Darius Garland Scores 25 Points In Win

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland led all scorers on Sunday en route to a 113-87 win over the Miami Heat. He logged 25 points, seven assists, and two rebounds while shooting 7-for-12 from the floor and 4-for-7 from deep. His offensive contribution allowed the whole starting five to get some rest as only one played […]

Damian Lillard To Miss Time

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) was forced to exit early during Saturday's loss to the Utah Jazz. He has been diagnosed with a strained right calf, which is not good news for the Blazers. The expectation is that Lillard will miss at least a few games because of this injury. Shaedon Sharpe will […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Doubtful For Sunday's Action

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (back) is considered doubtful for Sunday's meeting with the Warriors. He has already sat out one game with lower back soreness and things aren't looking great regarding his availability for Sunday's matchup. The 22-year-old is one of the leaders of the youthful Rockets, averaging 19.1 points a night […]

Shake Milton Looks Great In First Start

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton had a great time in his first start of the campaign Saturday, posting 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting in a 112-109 loss to Minnesota. He hit three times from deep with five attempts and added six rebounds and two assists to his line in 38 minutes. It was a very […]

Mike Conley Injures Knee on Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) won't return to Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz after hyperextending his left knee. The 35-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 8.2 assists this season, so he's at least offered something to fantasy managers. However, it's certainly possible Conley misses time moving ahead, which would open the door for […]

Damian Lillard Won't Return On Saturday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't return to Sunday's meeting with Utah. Lillard began experiencing tightness in his right calf, the same one that kept him out of the lineup for five games this season. Considering the ailment hasn't resolved, there's a good chance he won't be available on Tuesday in Milwaukee. If […]

Cade Cunningham Out Indefinitely

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) is out indefinitely. The 21-year-old has played well this season, averaging 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. However, there's a concern that a stress fracture may be the issue with his left shin, so he'll remain out while considering his options. Until he's cleared to return, Killian Hayes […]

Monte Morris Dealing With Ankle soreness

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (ankle) is questionable against Charlotte. Morris is dealing with a sore right ankle, so if the pain improves, he'll likely be on the floor. After logging a career-high 12.6 points last season with the Nuggets, he's averaged only 8.7 in 2022-23. With that said, Morris has provided much on the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable Again

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The 24-year-old has played well while filling for LaMelo Ball (ankle), averaging 10.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.9 steals in 11 starts this season. However, he's dealing with an ankle issue of his own and has missed the last […]

LaMelo Ball Out Against Washington

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus Washington. Ball missed his first 13 contests with a sprained left ankle. However, after returning and appearing in three games, he re-injured it on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) would likely replace Ball in the lineup. Yet, Smith is […]

Ja Morant Week-To-Week With A Grade 1 Ankle Sprain

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (ankle) is listed as week-to-week after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left ankle sprain. The Memphis star was hurt in Friday's win over Oklahoma City, and his absence is set to leave the team in some trouble now, with Desmond Bane (toe) also having recently been ruled out […]

Kyle Lowry Bags A Triple-Double Friday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry ran the show in Friday's 107-106 overtime loss to Washington, posting a triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists. He also had a steal and two blocks with three turnovers, while shooting 8-for-23 from the field and 4-for-11 from behind the arc. Miami was extremely shorthanded for […]

Luka Doncic Collects His 50th Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic became the 10th player in NBA history with at least 50 triple-doubles, racking up 33 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in Friday's blowout victory over Denver. He reached the milestone in his 278th career game and only Oscar Robertson has needed fewer games (111) to record 50 triple-doubles. […]

Tyrese Haliburton Hurts Right Ankle In Friday's Win

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton hurt his right ankle in Friday's 99-91 win on Houston. This was a very unfortunate injury, as the game was basically already done when Haliburton decided to attack the rim with 40 seconds left in the game, and Usman Garuba, who attempted to block Haliburton's shot, landed on his […]

Cameron Payne Cools Off Against Utah

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne finished with 17 points, five assists, and three steals in Friday's loss to Utah. After scoring 29 points against the Warriors on Wednesday, the 29-year-old cooled off. In all fairness, Devin Booker's 49-point performance held back all of his teammates on the scoring end. Nonetheless, Payne has averaged 20.8 points […]

Gary Trent Jr. Remains Sidelined Against Atlanta

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (hip) won't suit up on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, marking his third-straight absence. Dalano Banton (ankle) would have likely replaced him in the lineup. However, with Banton also out with a sprained ankle, Malachi Flynn may get the start. While Flynn should be more productive on the fantasy […]

Tyrese Maxey Injures Foot Against Milwaukee

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) exited in the first half of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a left foot injury. He did not return. The 22-year-old was scorching before his night ended, amassing 24 points, five assists, and a block in only 21 minutes of work. The team announced he would have […]

Ja Morant Tweaks Ankle On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant had a double-double in Friday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 19 points and 11 assists while adding seven rebounds. Unfortunately, Morant would exit this one late in the fourth quarter after rolling his left ankle, requiring assistance off the court. He will likely undergo further testing to […]

Chris Paul Misses A Fifth Consecutive Game

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (heel) will remain out for Friday's matchup against Utah. The veteran floor general is carrying a sore right heel and is sidelined for a fifth consecutive game. Paul's absence has opened the door to the starting lineup for Cameron Payne, who has grabbed his opportunity with both hands. The […]

Gabe Vincent Now Available Versus Washington

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is available versus Washington. Vincent's knee swelled up during Friday's shootaround, prompting head coach Eric Spoelstra to rule him out. However, his condition improved somewhat, so he'll be in uniform. With Miami down Bam Adebayo (knee), Jimmy Butler (knee), and Tyler Herro (ankle), among others, Vincent would have seen […]

Malcolm Brogdon Cleared To Return For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been given the green light to get back into action for Friday's contest against the Pelicans. His return comes at a vital time, with Marcus Smart (ankle) ruled out. Brogdon had missed the previous four contests due to a tight right hamstring but he can be expected […]

Marcus Smart Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart (ankle) will be sidelined for Friday's contest vs. New Orleans due to right ankle inflammation. Smart's absence marks his second in a row, paving the way for Derrick White to continue seeing sizable minutes, even as Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is slated to return to action. While Smart has scuffled […]

De'Aaron Fox Puts Up 28 Points Against Spurs

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox enjoyed a super efficient night against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday en route to the team's eighth win of the season. The up-and-coming star led the team with 28 points, eight assists, three rebounds, and one steal. He only missed four of his 15 shots and shot 2-for-3 from […]

Damian Lillard Collects Double-Double In Loss

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard collected this third consecutive double-double on Thursday night's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He posted 25 points, 11 assists, three rebounds, and one steal on 8-for-24 shooting from the floor and 3-for-12 from deep. While his scoring and efficiency leave some to be desired, Lillard's playmaking has been on […]

Ben Simmons Logs His Best Game Of The Season

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons has been the talk of the league with how much he has underperformed thus far. On Thursday night, he logged 15 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and one block while not missing a single one of his six shots. His six turnovers weren't great, but the response to all of […]

Jordan Goodwin Undergoes Testing On Knee

The timetable for Washington Wizards guard Jordan Goodwin's (knee) return is still in the balance. Goodwin suffered a knee injury during the Wednesday night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, the actual damage to his knee has yet to be reported. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. relayed to the media that the team doesn't […]

Jamal Murray To Enter Health And Safety Protocols

The Denver Nuggets continue to have problems with COVID-19. Jamal Murray entered the health and safety protocols on Thursday. The Nuggets point guard will miss Friday's contest versus the Dallas Mavericks. Not only is Murray out, but two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic also is out due to COVID. Although it doesn't bode well in the […]

Cory Joseph Questionable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (hip) is questionable for Thursday's road game against the Clippers. He is carrying a sore left hip and already sat out Monday's loss to Toronto. The Pistons could really use Joseph right now, with Cade Cunningham (shin) having dropped out of the lineup and slated to miss at least three […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Stuffs Stat Sheet Against Mavericks

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. posted a very strong stat line in the team's win against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. He ended the game with 17 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and three blocks while shooting 6-for-14 from the floor and 2-for-3 from deep. Porter's numbers are up across the board […]

Jamal Murray Scores 21 Points In Loss

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray struggled from the floor on Wednesday night in a 103-106 loss to the New York Knicks. Despite shooting 35% overall, he posted 21 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block with 42.9% shooting from three. Since Nikola Jokic missed this game, the Nuggets needed Murray and Michael […]
