Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden To Lose Minutes?
Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash says that he'd like to reduce minutes for the team's three star players -- forward Kevin Durant and guards James Harden and Kyrie Irving. All three are averaging at least 35 minutes per game, something that's especially concerning with Durant and Irving's past injury issues. But Brooklyn's lack of […]
Tyler Herro Paces Team With 19 Points
Miami Heat point guard Tyler Herro compiled 19 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Clippers. Herro returned to the lineup on Thursday after dealing with a neck injury and he played his first contest since January 14. The 21-year-old was sensational, pacing the team in […]
Damian Lillard Scores 30 Points With Nine Assists
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard scored 30 points with nine assists, five treys, and four rebounds in a 104-101 loss to the Rockets. Lillard was much more efficient in this outing than his last, making 11 of 23 shots, including 5 of 11 from beyond the arc. The star guard has had to take […]
Derrick White Out Friday; May Return Saturday
San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out Friday against the Denver Nuggets. However, White is expected to return Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. White has been out almost a month with a fractured toe and was originally expected to miss at least four-to-six weeks. White has miraculously been cleared to play, […]
Tyler Herro Expected To Play Thursday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Herro has been dealing with neck spasms and will return to the court after a 7-game absence. Herro's return could not come soon enough as the Heat are still missing Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and have lost four straight […]
Goran Dragic Ruled Out Again Thursday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) will not play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dragic missed Wednesday's contest with a groin injury and will remain sidelined in the second leg of a back-to-back. With Dragic (and a ton of other players) out, Kendrick Nunn will likely start and has been a solid scorer in […]
Goran Dragic Questionable For Thursday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was held out of Wednesday's loss due to a groin strain. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Heat rest the veteran guard again here. His absence would mean a boost for Kendrick Nunn. He is […]
Chris Paul Scores Season-High 32 Points In Revenge Game
Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul had a big night on Wednesday, scoring a season-high 32 points on 12-for-21 shooting against OKC. It was his first game against the Thunder since the team traded him on Nov. 16, and it was certainly a memorable night for CP3, which included five rebounds, five assists, and one […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Cooks Up Full Line Once Again
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a typically busy night on Wednesday against the Suns, racking up 21 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes of action. His shooting could've been better, but Gilgeous-Alexander did everything for the team in winning effort so it's all good. He finished […]
Collin Sexton Drops 29 Points On Wednesday Night
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton had an extremely efficient game on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. He shot 10-for-14 from the field, including 1-for-1 from three, and 8-for-10 from the free throw line on the way to a game-high 29 points. He also had five rebounds, five assists and two steals as well […]
Luka Doncic Scores 30 Points In Loss To Jazz
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic scored a team-high 30 points on 13-for-24 shooting on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to get the Mavericks past Utah. Doncic was 2-for-7 from three and added four rebounds and six assists as well. Averaging slightly fewer points per game this year than he did last season, Doncic is on […]
Ben Simmons Notches Triple-Double In Win Over Lakers
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons scored 17 points with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, a block, and a steal in Wednesday's narrow win over the Lakers. Simmons was aggressive in looking for his shot, as he registered a season-high in field-goal attempts, with 15. He's in the midst of arguably his best overall stretch of the […]
Devonte' Graham Makes Four Threes
Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham scored 16 points on 4-for-11 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. All four made shots were three-pointers. Graham also added four rebounds, three assists, a steal, and a block. This extends the third-year guard's streak of games with multiple threes to eight. It also marked the eighth consecutive […]
George Hill Will Sit Wednesday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill (thumb) will not play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Hill was a game-time decision, but will ultimately miss his second straight game with the injury. Theo Maledon will pick up another spot start, but there are much better options on the wire and for DFS.
Raul Neto Starting Wednesday Against Pelicans
Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Washington will be without regular starting point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) as he sits the second night of a back-to-back. However, there was concern Neto might miss as well, dealing with a groin injury. It appears the injury […]
Kemba Walker Will Have Minutes Restriction In Near Future
Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens noted that point guard Kemba Walker (knee) will not be playing more than 30 minutes in a game "anytime soon." It was also reported that Walker would not play in both legs of any back-to-back games this year, so Boston is being overly cautious with their point guard's injury. […]
Derrick White Could Return This Weekend
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich stated that the team is waiting for one of the games this weekend for guard Derrick White (toe) to make his return. White fractured his toe in the beginning of January and was expected to miss four to six weeks. A return this weekend would be just before […]
Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler All Out Wednesday
The Miami Heat will be severely short-handed with point guard Goran Dragic (groin), guard Tyler Herro (neck) and guard/forward Jimmy Butler out Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Herro and Butler have missed several games with their ailments, but Dragic's injury is new, and the team might be resting him during the first game of a back-to-back. […]
Rajon Rondo Ruled Out With Ankle Sprain
Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (ankle) will not play Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Rondo was a game-time decision with an ankle injury, but was not cleared to play. Rondo has been a solid source of assists behind Trae Young this year, but has really struggled staying on the court. Young should see […]
Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out On Wednesday
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (head) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He took a couple hard hits on Tuesday and is currently in concussion protocol. This is obviously a significant hit to the Jazz rotation that cannot be easily filled. Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and Royce O'Neale should be […]
Rajon Rondo Questionable For Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Rajon Rondo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He is battling an ankle sprain, which explains why he only played six minutes on Tuesday. Honestly, Rondo hasn't been much of a fantasy asset anyway, but might have some deep league appeal. His absence would mean more […]
Russell Westbrook Resting Versus Pelicans
Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so Westbrook will sit out like usual. It doesn't sound like the Wizards plan to use Westbrook in back-to-back sets, so fantasy managers should continue to expect this going […]
Raul Neto Questionable On Wednesday
Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He did return from injury on Tuesday, but possibly he re-aggravated his groin injury. Russell Westbrook (rest) has already been ruled out for this game, so Cassius Winston and Jerome Robinson could see extended roles. Bradley Beal […]
Austin Rivers Goes Off For 25 First-Half Points
New York Knicks guard Austin Rivers had a phenomenal first-half performance on Tuesday against the Jazz, shooting a perfect 10-for-10 from the field en route to 25 points. He also had a perfect 5-for-5 record from downtown at the half, but sadly, Rivers didn't add any points to his tally in the second half, finishing […]
Reggie Jackson Delivers 20-8-7 Line In Tuesday's Loss
Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson earned his first start of the season on Tuesday and made the most of his opportunity. Jackson produced 20 points, eight assists, seven boards, two treys, two steals, and a block in 39 minutes. His playing time was far-and-away the most of the season, as Los Angeles was without […]
Russell Westbrook Nearly Has Triple-Double
Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Houston. Westbrook had been dealing with a quad injury and just played his second game since returning from the injury. The guard has been playing decently in those two contests, notching at least nine […]
Trae Young Scores 38 Points In Win Over Clippers
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young exploded for 38 points with four assists, three rebounds, three triples, and a steal in a 108-99 win over the Clippers. Young missed Sunday's game with back tightness, though he picked up right where he left off in his return to the court. He was mired in a shooting slump […]
Derrick Rose On Track To Suit Up Wednesday
Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's outing against Cleveland. Rose has missed each of the previous two outings, but was able to practice Tuesday, paving the way for his return. The veteran has scored in double figures in 10 of his first 12 […]
LeBron James Continues To Earn Questionable Tag Wednesday
If nothing else, the Los Angeles Lakers are consistent. Point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) has once again been listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the 76ers, an injury designation that he has continued to hold onto ever since spraining his ankle early in the year. Having scorched the Cavaliers for 46 points Monday, […]
Tyler Herro, Goran Dragic Questionable To Suit Up Wednesday
Miami Heat point guards Tyler Herro (neck) and Goran Dragic (groin) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Nuggets, while shooting guard Avery Bradley has drawn a questionable tag as well as he works his way through the league's health and safety protocols. Herro has missed the team's last six games due to […]
