Malcolm Brogdon On The Trade Block?
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon could be on the move this offseason. With the Pacers having already dealt Domantas Sabonis, it's clear the team hit the reset button long ago. Brogdon finished last season by averaging 19.1 points, the second-highest mark of his career, although he shot just 31.2% from deep, his worst showing since […]
Gabe Vincent Back On The Injury Report For Friday
Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's pivotal playoff encounter against Boston. However, DFS managers should take Vincent's presence on the injury report with a grain of salt, primarily since he's continuously played over the last few weeks despite the routine questionable tags. Nonetheless, with Kyle Lowry (hamstring) uncertain with a hamstring […]
Kyle Lowry Questionable Again For Game 6
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Friday's postseason meeting with the Boston Celtics.

Gary Payton II Remains Absent On Thursday
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow ) is out for the playoff meeting against Dallas on Thursday night. The defensive specialist hasn't played since injuring his elbow during the previous series versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

Kyle Lowry Fails To Score In Game 5
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) had another dreadful playoff performance during Wednesday's loss to Boston. It's obvious the veteran is still limited by his infamous strained left hamstring, as he finished without scoring a single basket. Lowry has struggled throughout this series, so it's unlikely he'll make a difference for DFS managers anytime soon. […]
Marcus Smart Returns For Game 5, Drops Only Five Points
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) managed to shed a questionable tag and suit up for Wednesday's playoff meeting against Miami. However, the 28-year-old struggled, finishing with only five points throughout 24 minutes of work. After missing Game 4 on Monday due to a sprained left ankle, Smart did all he could to help his […]
Gabe Vincent Questionable For Game 5

Kyle Lowry Questionable For Game 5
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is questionable heading into Wednesday's playoff battle against Boston.

Marcus Smart In Danger Of Sitting Again
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is uncertain for Wednesday's playoff showdown versus Miami.

Tim Connelly Heading To Minnesota
Tim Connelly will sign a five-year, $40 million contract to become the Timberwolves new president of basketball operations. Connelly held the same position in Denver since 2013 and was instrumental to the Nuggets' success over the years, including selecting Nikola Jokic with the 41st overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. He has also been […]
Gary Payton II Not Ready To Return
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Andre Iguodala (neck) remains out as well, and with Otto Porter Jr. (foot) uncertain for Game 4, the Dubs may be severely short-handed defensively. Fortunately, Payton appears to be moving in the right direction, although head coach Steve Kerr […]
Kyle Lowry Available For Game 4
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is available on Monday night versus Boston. The 36-year-old missed plenty of time recently because of a nagging hamstring ailment. Unquestionably, the injury has impacted Lowry's play, with the veteran averaging only seven points during the playoffs. For obvious reasons, he hasn't looked like his usual self, so DFS […]
Derrick White Starting In Game 4
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will start during Monday's playoff showdown versus the visiting Miami Heat. Marcus Smart (ankle) is dealing with a sprain and won't play, so White will get extra work in Game 4.

Luka Doncic Drops 40 Points In Game 3 Loss
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic continued his impressive play during Sunday's Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar guard hit 11-of-23 shots for his eighth 40-point game, which ties Dirk Nowitzki for first in franchise history. Sadly, his 40 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists weren't enough to help his team get the […]
Gabe Vincent Back On The Injury Report
Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's playoff battle versus Boston. He remains plagued by a nagging left hamstring strain. However, the injury is nothing new, so it's more than likely he'll be available for Game 4. But if Kyle Lowry (hamstring) plays, Vincent can be omitted from DFS consideration.
Kyle Lowry Still Dealing With Bum Hamstring
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is back on the injury report leading up to Monday's postseason meeting versus Boston. Unsurprisingly, Lowry is questionable because of a nagging left hamstring strain, the same one he's been dealing with since suffering the ailment during the series with Atlanta. Nonetheless, based on how the veteran looked in […]
Marcus Smart Questionable For Monday Night
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is questionable ahead of Monday's playoff meeting against the Miami Heat.

Nonetheless, head coach Ime Udoka didn't […]
Gary Payton II Remains Out On Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) won't play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Marcus Smart Shouldn't Miss Time
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart finished with 16 points, seven assists, and four boards during the playoff loss to Miami on Saturday evening. However, he exited briefly after rolling his right ankle in the third quarter, which wasn't a pleasant sight for Boston fans. Fortunately, there was a collective sigh of relief at TD Garden […]
Kyle Lowry Questionable For Game 3
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. He has missed the last four games and eight total games during the postseason. However, the questionable tag is actually a good sign that Lowry might be getting closer to a return. His return would mean Gabe […]
Jalen Brunson Surprises With 31-Point Outing
Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson put together a surprisingly solid performance during Friday's Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. He wasn't much of a factor during their Game 1 loss. However, Brunson made sure to make up for it during Friday's contest. He finished with 31 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in the […]
Luka Doncic Goes Off With 42 Points
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic did everything he could during Friday's Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. He was reportedly sick during Game 1, but looked fine during Friday's contest.

He finished with 32 points, eight rebounds, […]
Suns Unlikely To Make Major Overhauls
The Phoenix Suns are unlikely to make significant moves this offseason. This is surprising to some considering how they were eliminated from the postseason by the Dallas Mavericks. Despite that, head coach Monty Williams expects Chris Paul (quad) to come back stronger back next season. Young big man Deandre Ayton is a restricted free agent, […]
Stephen Curry Scores 21 Points In Game 1 Victory
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry had a tough time getting anything going early against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The Mavericks defense did a solid job of forcing double teams on Curry and getting the ball out of his hands. He finished the game with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists in the […]
Luka Doncic Held In Check During Game 1
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic wasn't able to take over during Wednesday's Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar guard was held to 20 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the loss. Andrew Wiggins surprisingly played good defense on Doncic during this game.

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. He'll be joined by Max Strus (hamstring) on the injured report for this contest.
