Russell Westbrook Cruises To Another Triple-Double

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook notched an NBA-leading 10th triple-double of the season in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves, going for 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists with two steals and five turnovers in 32 minutes. However, his shooting was poor, as he went 7-for-19 from the field and 5-for-10 at the charity […]

Mike Conley Will Return Monday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) will play on Monday against the Pelicans. Conley was ruled out for Saturday's game, as it was the second half of a back-to-back. The veteran guard has been effective in four contests since returning from a hamstring injury that cost him a chunk of February games, as he's averaged […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out Against Knicks

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest with New York. Brogdon was clearly bothered by his sore knee in his last outing- and the team is likely erring on the side of caution with the All-Star break coming up. T.J. McConnell will get the start in place of Brogdon. […]

Kyrie Irving Expected To Return Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the Spurs. Irving was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, though head coach Steve Nash told reporters that it's not anything serious- and more of a maintenance thing. The cautious approach makes sense for Brooklyn, considering they're […]

Elfrid Payton Ruled Out For Saturday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers. The Knicks have taken the cautious approach with Payton, as he was listed as a game-time call ahead of Thursday's game as well- which he also missed. Derrick Rose will get another start for New York against a […]

Danilo Gallinari Probable, Trae Young Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (forearm) is listed as probable, while guard Trae Young (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat. It's unclear when Gallinari suffered the ailment, though it probably didn't hinder him much, considering that he broke the franchise record for threes in a game. Young's injury seems a […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. Brogdon has been experiencing knee soreness and is coming off a 5 of 17 shooting performance on Friday against Boston, so the team may ultimately opt to play it safe with one of their better players ahead of the All-Star break. […]

Mike Conley Ruled Out For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is likely the team being cautious with the veteran guard during the second game of a back-to-back set. It sounds like Conley should be fine for their next contest after resting on Saturday. Joe Ingles will likely […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Suit Up Versus Mavs

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears that he is dealing with discomfort in the same shoulder that caused him to miss most of last season. It's possible that the Nets are just playing it safe here with the All-Star break quickly approaching. […]

Dennis Schroder Pours In 22 Points In Return

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder looked good in his return to the court Friday. Schroder missed the previous four games due to the health and safety protocols but gave the team great energy in his first game back, scoring 22 points with three rebounds, two assists, a triple, and a steal in 32 minutes. […]

Damian Lillard Drops 35 Points With Five Threes

Dennis Smith Jr. Continues To Improve

Detroit Pistons point guard Dennis Smith Jr. scored 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Friday's loss to the Kings. He also added six assists and one rebound while shooting 2-for-5 from deep. Smith blocked a shot as well. This makes three games in a row with Smith scoring in double figures. Out of the rotation […]

De'Aaron Fox Struggles From Three In Win

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox scored 27 points on 9-for-21 shooting in Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. In addition, he grabbed five rebounds and dished out six assists.

Theo Maledon With 12 Assists On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Theo Maledon scored 13 points on 4-for-11 shooting in Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. In addition, he grabbed four rebounds and dished out 12 assists. Maledon was 2-for-6 from three and also posted one steal. He'll face the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, who allow opponents to shoot the 20th-highest percentage […]

Fred VanVleet Inefficient In Win Over Rockets

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet scored 25 points on 6-for-23 shooting in Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. In addition, he grabbed four rebounds and dished out four assists. VanVleet was 5-for-11 from three and also posted three steals. He'll face the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, who allow opponents to shoot the sixth-lowest percentage from […]

Kemba Walker With Huge Game Against Pacers

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker scored 32 points on 10-for-19 shooting in Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He added in six assists as well while shooting 4-for-10 from three. In addition, Walker grabbed three rebounds and recorded one steal. On Sunday, he'll face the Washington Wizards, who allow the second-most points and 10th-fewest assists […]

Goran Dragic Pours In Efficient 26 Points In Win Over Jazz

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic scored 26 points with three rebounds, three triples, two assists, and two steals in Friday's win over the Jazz. Dragic drew a tough assignment against Mike Conley and Utah's league-best defense, though he looked excellent, tying the franchise record for the most 20-plus point games off the bench. The 34-year-old […]

Chris Paul Hands Out 15 Assists In Win Over Bulls

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul showed off his playmaking skills once again in Friday's win over the Bulls. Paul scored 14 points with 15 assists- matching his second-highest total of the season- along with six rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes. The recently named All-Star has amazingly had at least one steal in 26 […]

Elfrid Payton Doubtful Against Pacers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is unlikely to play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. Payton has been dealing with soreness in his right hamstring, an injury that forced him to miss Thursday's meeting with the Kings. If he does sit, look for Derrick Rose to likely draw another start, with the veteran […]

Dennis Schroder Set To Return Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder will return to the starting lineup Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Schroder has been away from the team due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he has been cleared and will slide back into his starting role. Schroder had a great game before missing four […]

Tyrese Haliburton Could Miss Multiple Games

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) has been ruled out Friday against the Detroit Pistons and will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Sacramento. It was reported Haliburton started feeling soreness in his left calf during their loss to the New York Knicks on Thursday. Given the nature of calf injuries and how easy […]

LeBron James Once Again Probable

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) is probable on Friday night against Portland. This isn't a surprise, as the veteran has been listed on the injury report for several weeks with a left ankle sprain. With Anthony Davis (Achilles) out of the equation, the former MVP should be on the radar more than ever […]

Tyler Herro To Miss Third Straight Game

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is out again Friday against the Utah Jazz, marking his third straight game on the sidelines. Herro was questionable so there was some optimism he would play, but this leaves Miami without one of their top scorers against the best team in the league. Without Herro, Goran Dragic, Kendrick […]

Tyler Herro Questionable Versus Jazz

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed two games in a row due to a right hip bruise, but it sounds like Herro is heading in the right direction. Andre Iguodala and Goran Dragic would be asked to play up the slack, […]

Justise Winslow Won't Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Justise Winslow (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It's not surprising that Memphis is going cautious with Winslow after he was sidelined for most of the season. De'Anthony Melton should see the biggest increase in playing time, but it's tough to recommend him as a […]

Jamal Murray Hits Six Treys During 34-Point Performance

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray continued his scoring tear with a 34-point performance in Thursday's loss to Washington, shooting 12-for-23 from the field and sinking six three-point shots with 11 attempts.

After going three straight games with 50-plus percent shooting, Westbrook's efficiency dropped to 6-for-17 from the field and he was 3-for-4 at the line. He also recorded […]

Tyus Jones Leads All Scorers With Career-High 20 Points

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Tyus Jones led all scorers in Thursday's 122-94 win over the Clippers, scoring a career-high 20 points on 9-for-11 shooting. He was 2-for-3 from downtown and added three assists, two rebounds, and one steal to his line in just 15 minutes off the bench. Jones doesn't get a lot of action […]

Kyrie Irving Comes Up Big In Win Over Magic

Despite going 1-for-6 from three, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving put together a strong showing in Thursday's win over the Orlando Magic. Irving scored 27 points on 11-for-18 shooting and also added nine assists, five rebounds, and two steals. The potential for Kevin Durant to return on Saturday could impact Irving's fantasy outlook, but with […]

Luka Doncic Scores 19 Points In Loss To Sixers

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic scored a team-high 19 points on 6-for-13 shooting in Thursday's loss to the 76ers. Doncic was 3-for-6 from deep and also added three rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Overall, it was a solid night, but not up to the standards that Doncic has established for his play, likely leaving […]
