LaMelo Ball Likely Out For Year With Fractured Wrist

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (wrist) is likely out for the season after suffering a fracture in his right wrist. Ball took a hard fall onto his wrist on Saturday and was originally listed as probable to play on Monday. After further testing, it was revealed Ball hurt his wrist much worse than originally anticipated. […]

Malcolm Brogdon Has Double-Double In Sunday's Win

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon struggled with his shot in Sunday's 109-106 overtime win against Miami but managed to grab a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists. He made a key triple ahead of the final minute of play but shot only 4-for-17 overall from the field with a 3-for-11 record from downtown. […]

Patrick Beverley And Serge Ibaka Ruled Out Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (knee) and forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) have both been ruled out Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players are looking like lengthy absences with their injuries given they were ruled out more than a day in advance. Beverley's absence has lead to Reggie Jackson starting, but he is an […]

Immanuel Quickley In, Elfrid Payton Out Sunday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) will play, but guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will remain out Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. With Payton still nursing his nagging hamstring injury, Quickley will likely start as the primary ball handler. Quickley's return should also take some opportunities away from Alec Burks.

Ben Simmons Playing On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will play Sunday against the New York Knicks. Simmons sat out Saturday's game with a sore knee despite being listed as probable to play. This could have been more of a cautionary rest day as the Sixers are finishing up their back-to-back set and Simmons is good to go […]

Immanuel Quickley And Elfrid Payton Game-Time Decisions

New York Knicks guards Immanuel Quickley (ankle) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) are game-time decisions against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Both Quickley and Payton were questionable coming into the day, but will need to go through their pregame workouts to see if they are cleared. If both remain out, Alec Burks will likely get another […]

Terry Rozier And LaMelo Ball Probable To Play Monday

Charlotte Hornets guards Terry Rozier (hip) and LaMelo Ball (wrist) are both listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Both Rozier and Ball took some hard falls near the end of Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but appear to have come away with nothing more but some soreness. […]

Shake Milton Notches 28 Points As Starter

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton made his second start of the season in Saturday's win over the Kings, producing 28 points in 36 minutes of action. He shot 9-for-17 from the field and 9-for-11 at the charity stripe. Milton also handed out a pair of dimes and had one steal. The 24-year-old took full advantage […]

Lonzo Ball Questionable For Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Ball has a right hip flexor strain- though he was able to play 38 minutes and put up an effective line in his most recent game. He's probably on the right side of questionable, though if he's unable to suit […]

Tyrese Haliburton, Hassan Whiteside On Minutes Limit Again

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton and center Hassan Whiteside will remain on their minutes' restrictions on Saturday. Considering Haliburton played 32 minutes in his last game, the news may apply more to Whiteside. Haliburton's effectiveness was entirely another matter, as he scored just 4 points, though perhaps he can fare better against a banged-up 76ers […]

Ben Simmons Out Saturday With Knee Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) won't play Saturday against the Kings. It's surprising, given that Simmons was listed as probable. In his place, Shake Milton and Matisse Thybulle will enter the starting lineup and presumably get plenty of scoring opportunities with Joel Embiid also out. Milton is the more consistent option of the two. […]

LeBron James Has MRI

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) had an MRI performed on Saturday. The results are still pending. The veteran injured his right ankle during the matinee matchup against the Atlanta Hawks and did not return. This is not good news, especially since James has been riding the league's official injury report for weeks while […]

Trae Young Notches Double-Double Despite Poor Shooting

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young went an ugly 0-for-7 with the three-ball on Saturday against the Lakers, but still managed a double-double in a 99-94 win with 14 points and 11 assists. He shot 6-for-18 overall from the field and nailed both of his attempts from the free-throw line. Young also had three rebounds […]

Stephen Curry Unlikely To Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned the team is likely going to wait until Curry is back to full health before letting him back on the court. Jordan Poole has been on fire since the All-Star break. He's […]

Elfrid Payton Questionable Against 76ers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last four games, but it sounds like he has a chance to play here. His return would mean Immanuel Quickley (ankle) would see significantly less playing time. The Knicks might be […]

Goran Dragic Questionable For Sunday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana Pacers. Dragic has been underperforming lately, but possibly the back issue is part of the reason he has struggled. Kendrick Nunn would see a heavier workload, assuming Dragic is unable to suit up. He would be a favorable streaming option […]

Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills Resting Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guards Dejounte Murray (rest) and Patty Mills (rest) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both players are getting a rest day here in the second night of a back-to-back set. Lonnie Walker IV and Derrick White will have favorable DFS value for this one. Walker is an […]

Luka Doncic Narrowly Misses Out On Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic played an excellent game in Friday's loss to Portland. Doncic scored a game-high 38 points with nine rebounds, nine assists, four triples, and a steal. He was a bit inefficient from the three-point line, though he made up for it by shooting 55.6 percent from the field and 4 of […]

Chris Paul Scores 20 Points With Nine Assists

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul scored 20 points with nine assists, one rebound, and one triple in 34 minutes. Paul had a combined 12 steals in his previous three games, so it was a bit disappointing to see a zero in that category Friday night. Still, he shot an efficient 8-for-16 from the field and […]

Ricky Rubio Records Third Double-Double Of Season

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio scored a season-high 21 points with 10 assists, five rebounds, and three triples in a 113-101 loss to the Suns. Rubio drained 4 of 5 free throws and didn't commit a single turnover, an impressive feat given his usage rate throughout the contest. The veteran point guard now has a […]

Jamal Murray's Huge Second Half Powers Nuggets To Victory

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray had just three points at the break, but a monster second-half effort helped lead his team to an overtime victory. Murray scored 34 points with six triples, five assists, four steals, and two rebounds. The 24-year-old drained a huge three in the corner at the end of regulation to force […]

Jordan Poole Logs High-Scoring Start

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole recorded his first start of the year on Friday with Stephen Curry (tailbone) out, and the 21-year-old had a fine evening with a season-high 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting in a 116-103 win over Memphis. Damion Lee also took advantage of Curry's absence and had his best performance of […]

Frank Jackson Leads All Scorers With 23 Points

Detroit Pistons point guard Frank Jackson was a perfect 5-for-5 from downtown on Friday and ended up as the leading scorer in a win over Houston, finishing with 23 points. He shot 7-for-10 overall from the field and 4-for-5 at the charity stripe, adding a pair of rebounds, one assist, and one steal. It was […]

Kyrie Irving Has Season-High 43 Points In Losing Effort

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving went for a season-high 43 points on 19-for-31 shooting on Friday against Orlando, but it wasn't enough as the team's winning streak ended on six games with a 121-113 loss. He added six rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 39 minutes. James Harden has his worst showing in […]

Darius Garland Gets Close To Double-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland nearly bagged his fourth double-double of the season in Friday's loss to San Antonio, finishing with 29 points and eight assists. Collin Sexton also enjoyed a 29-point outing. Garland was 8-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-4 from downtown, and he shot a perfect 11-for-11 at the charity stripe. He […]

De'Aaron Fox Scores Game-High 29 Points

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox led all scorers with 29 points in Friday's win over Boston, shooting 11-for-20 from the field and 3-for-7 from downtown. He delivered five dimes while adding a couple of rebounds and steals to his line with two turnovers in 37 minutes. Fox is on a run of scoring at […]

Patrick Beverley Remains Sidelined Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (knee) will miss his fourth straight game on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. Beverley has been dealing with knee soreness and did not travel with the team for their most recent road trip. Reggie Jackson will likely get another spot start and has been hit-or-miss in the starting lineup. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Starting Against Memphis

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (foot) is starting Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies after being listed as questionable. Oubre was actually doubtful to play at one point, but is now miraculously playing through a right foot sprain on Friday. Oubre and company with have to shoulder a heavy burden without Stephen Curry (tailbone). […]

Stephen Curry Out Friday And Doubtful Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) has been ruled out Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies and is in danger of missing Saturday's game as well. Curry is "still very sore" according to head coach Steve Kerr after taking a hard fall in Wednesday's game. Tailbone injuries typically last 1-3 games given the pain tolerance […]

John Wall Will Start Friday

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will start Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Wall will be returning from a five-game absence and is likely to resume his regular role, but may see a dip in minutes given his injury history. Wall's return will push the red-hot Kevin Porter Jr. to the bench, decreasing his […]
