Dejounte Murray Falls Just Short Of Triple-Double

In their win over the previously undefeated Milwaukee Bucks, Murray posted 25 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists, and three steals on 11-for-24 shooting from the floor. Any time Trae Young has been out, Murray has put up […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Drops 33 Points In Loss
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to lead his team in what feels like every stat category. Which, in fact, he does except for rebounds.

Kendrick Nunn Starting Again
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn will start against the Jazz. With Patrick Beverley (illness) under the weather, Nunn will make his second straight appearance in the starting lineup. Nunn went scoreless while filling in for Beverley on Sunday versus Cleveland. However, with LeBron James (foot) and Lonnie Walker IV (illness) also out, he should […]
Chris Paul Ruled Out For Rest Of Monday Night
Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) won't return to Monday's meeting against Philadelphia. The veteran was taken to the locker room and evaluated for right heel soreness, ending his night after only 14 minutes of work. He'll likely have more tests done over the next day or so. However, it's doubtful the Suns will take […]
John Wall Out Again On Monday Evening
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (rest) won't play against the Cavaliers. The veteran played in Sunday's meeting with the Jazz, so he will get the second night of the team's back-to-back off. Luke Kennard and Norman Powell may see additional minutes on Monday. Although likely not enough to make a significant impact for fantasy […]
Ben Simmons Will Return Against Mavs
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will return against the Mavs. Simmons, who's missed the last four games due to knee soreness, has averaged only 6.2 points this season. While the 26-year-old has also averaged 7.3 assists, 6.5 boards, and 1.2 steals, he hasn't met expectations. Considering he will play only 20 minutes on Monday […]

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) intends to play against the Wizards, according to head coach Steve Clifford. The 24-year-old tweaked his ankle versus Brooklyn on Saturday night, limiting him to just six minutes of action.

Tyler Herro Questionable For Monday's Contest
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with Portland. He is troubled by a left ankle sprain and could miss his first game of the season.

Dennis Smith Jr. Regarded As Questionable
Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's game against Washington after he sprained his left ankle over the weekend versus Brooklyn.

Ben Simmons Listed As Questionable Ahead Of Monday
Brooklyn Nets point guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's visit to Dallas.

Trae Young Questionable For Monday's Action
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (shin) has earned himself another questionable tag ahead of Monday's matchup against Milwaukee.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell returned from a one-game absence to lead all players in scoring on Sunday. The 26-year-old poured in 33 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block on 10-for-17 shooting from the floor. His three-point shooting wasn't as efficient as normal in this game as he shot just 1-for-7. […]

Terry Rozier Returns With Hot Three-Point Shooting
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier ended a seven-game absence on Saturday, leading his team with 25 points in a 98-94 loss to Brooklyn.

The Kings needed his heroics after giving up a four-point lead in mere seconds. Fox logged […]
Kendrick Nunn Starting Against Cleveland
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn will start on Sunday against the Cavaliers. Patrick Beverley (illness) is under the weather, opening the door for Nunn to get more involved. The 27-year-old has averaged only 4.9 points this season, so he'll be a risky option for anyone who decides to put him into their fantasy lineup. […]
Patrick Beverley Out On Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley (illness) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Cavaliers. Fortunately, it doesn't appear he has COVID, so there's a chance he could be available for Monday's meeting with Utah. In the meantime, Kendrick Nunn will move into the starting lineup. However, Russell Westbrook could be featured more than usual from […]
Darius Garland Will Suit Up Versus The Lakers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (knee) will play in Sunday's meeting with the Lakers. Garland returned on Wednesday against the Celtics after missing time with an eye laceration.

Darius Garland Questionable Versus The Lakers

Dennis Smith Jr. Injures Ankle On Saturday Night
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) didn't return to Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The 2017 No. 9 overall pick lasted only seven minutes before succumbing to a sprained left ankle.

Trae Young Will Play On Saturday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (eye) will suit up for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
