Dennis Schroder Draws Start For Season Opener Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) has been given the thumbs up to play in Tuesday's game versus the Clippers and will draw the start at point guard. Schroder is expected to share ball-handling duties with LeBron James in the first unit, although the new member of the Lakers has been vocal about […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Headlines Cavs Bench Players Out Wednesday

The Cleveland Cavaliers' second unit will be severely short-handed during Wednesday's season opener versus Charlotte as shooting guard/small forward Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) and point guards Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) and Dante Exum (hip) will all miss the contest. Darius Garland and Collin Sexton will be the team's only active point guards, meaning that the duo […]

Rajon Rondo, Kris Dunn Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guards Rajon Rondo (personal) and Kris Dunn (knee) have been listed as out for Wednesday's contest against Chicago, leaving Trae Young to likely receive a lion's share of the minutes at the point guard spot. The defensive-minded duo of Rondo and Dunn were added in the off-season as both PG depth and […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Starts Tuesday; Caris Levert Leads Bench Unit

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie will start at the two-guard spot for Tuesday's season opener versus Golden State with Caris Levert set to come off the bench. The move stays in line with how head coach Steve Nash had been deploying his group during the preseason, but is a pivot away from years past […]

Russell Westbrook Faces No Minutes Cap Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook will be a full-go for Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia and will not face a minutes ceiling. Westbrook isn't scheduled to play in back-to-backs to begin the year, which is set to cloud his season-long fantasy appeal as soon as the first weekend. But for Opening Night, Westbrook will be […]

Austin Rivers Remains Out Of Practice

New York Knicks guard Austin Rivers (groin) is still unable to suit up for practice. It sounds unlikely that Rivers is able to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. That means, Alec Burks (personal) is in line for more playing time. He recently returned to the team after the birth of his child. […]

Markelle Fultz Staying In Orlando

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz has agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension with the organization. After a horrible beginning to his NBA career, it's nice to see Fultz getting back on track. He averaged 12.1 points, 5.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds last season in Orlando. The Magic believe that the young guard is going […]

Derrick White Signs Extension With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) reportedly agreed to a four-year extension worth $73 million. That is quite a lot of money, but the Spurs feel he has earned it with his performance last season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, so there are high expectations for White going into this campaign. […]

Immanuel Quickley Likely Has Earned Rotational Spot

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has been impressive during his two preseason outings. The rookie guard could earn a spot in the rotation after an impressive showing this preseason. Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned that Quickley's performance over the last few games will definitely factor into his decision making about the rotation. It sounds […]

Dennis Schroder Could Miss Season Opener

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) sat out of Friday's preseason contest against the Phoenix Suns. He tweaked his left ankle during Wednesday's game and was dealing with some minor swelling. Hopefully. Schroder will be ready for the season opener, but that's not a guarantee right now. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Alex Caruso, and Quinn Cook […]

Shop the Sales: UDFA Who Could Find Quick Success

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Shop the Sales: 2nd Rounders Who Could Find Quick Success

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Agrees To Five-Year Extension

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo agreed to a five-year extension on Tuesday to remain with the team. The deal is worth $228.2 million and is the largest in league history. The reigning MVP averaged a career-high 29.5 points and 13.6 boards during the COVID-ridden 2019-2020 campaign. He is expected to be one of the first […]

Russell Westbrook Expected To Rest During Back-To-Back Sets

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook is likely going to rest during back-to-back sets, according to head coach Scott Brooks. This is shocking news considering the Houston Rockets did this with Westbrook last season. He's not exactly getting any younger and the Wizards want to make sure their star point guard stays healthy. Fantasy managers should've […]

Matt Thomas Could Have Consistent Role

Toronto Raptors guard Matt Thomas appears to have impressed the team enough to earn a significant role in the rotation. "Maybe someone like Matt, for instance, just becomes part of that group for sure every night," head coach Nick Nurse said. He dropped 16 points with five assists during the preseason opener. To be fair, […]

Cole Anthony Should Have A Role Right Away

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony is expected to be part of the rotation right away, according to head coach Steve Clifford. It sounds like the rookie guard has impressed enough to earn a role from the season opener. He'll be stuck behind Markelle Fultz, so Anthony isn't expected to earn quality minutes. He is still […]

Mavericks Planning To Release J.J. Barea

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea is expected to be released by the organization on Thursday. The 36-year-old guard returned from a torn Achilles last season. He averaged 7.7 points through 29 games with Dallas. It doesn't sound like he was going to have a significant role on this team anyway. The Mavs are expected to […]

John Wall Looks Good During Training Camp

Houston Rockets guard John Wall has reportedly looked good during training camp thus far. Wall hasn't played in roughly two years since suffering a ruptured Achilles. The fact he looks healthy is a great sign heading into the regular season. Although, he'll have to share the ball with James Harden, assuming he shows up at […]

Monte Morris Gets Extension From Nuggets

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract extension with the organization on Monday. Morris has played well over the last few years and is well-deserving of an extension. Gary Harris has a long history with injuries, and Morris has performed well in his absence. Sadly, Morris probably won't […]

Austin Rivers Limited During Practice

New York Knicks guard Austin Rivers (groin) was limited during practice on Monday. He pulled his groin and is currently listed as day-to-day going forward. Rivers has two weeks to recover before the beginning of the regular season. The Knicks have a crowded backcourt, but Rivers should find himself with a significant role. He might […]

Kyrie Irving Unlikely To Play All 72 Games

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving is not expected to play in all 72 games this season, according to head coach Steve Nash. However, there is no plan in place to currently rest Irving or Kevin Durant right now. Irving has missed an average of 24.4 games over the past five seasons. It's not surprising to […]

Coby White To Be Primary Ball-Handler

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is going to be the primary ball-handler for the upcoming season, according to head coach Billy Donovan. This confirms that White will be starting over Tomas Satoransky, which he deserves to do. White could push himself in the top 80-90 range with more ball-handling responsibilities. He won't bring much on […]

John Wall Acquired By Rockets

Washington Wizards guard John Wall has been traded to the Houston Rockets with a 2023 first-round pick in exchange for Russell Westbrook. There was speculation that this trade would eventually happen after both players requested trades from their teams. There are plenty of question marks surrounding Wall for this upcoming season. He hasn't played in […]

Russell Westbrook Heading To Washington

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook has been traded to the Washington Wizards in exchange for John Wall and a first-round pick. There was speculation that Westbrook was going to be traded this offseason. Finally, his trade request comes true and he'll get a chance to play alongside Bradley Beal in Washington. Both players love having […]

Kemba Walker Not Rushing Back To The Court

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) said that he is not going to rush himself back to the court. "There's no rush. There's no rush on my end," Walker said. He continued by saying that last time he came back too quickly, so he's going to be patient this time. It was revealed on Tuesday […]

Jalen Brunson Believes He's 100 Percent Ready

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) says that he is 100 percent ready after recovering this offseason. Brunson suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder in March, but it sounds like he's ready to get back on the court. It's difficult to imagine him having a huge role on the Mavs this season. The […]

Derrick White Expected To Miss Training Camp

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) is not going to be available for the start of training camp. He underwent a minor toe procedure back in August. However, the organization is not concerned about White being unavailable for the start of the 2020-2021 season. He should be ready to go soon and is primed […]

Reggie Jackson Returning To Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson is reportedly returning to the organization on a one-year deal. He is expected to have a similar role to what he had last season with the Clippers. He'll be a spark plug off the bench, but won't have much fantasy value. He averaged 9.5 points, 3.2 assists and 1.5 […]

Austin Rivers Signing With Knicks

Free agent guard Austin Rivers has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Knicks. Joining a team with a logjam at the guard spots is a strange move for a player who many expected would have a stronger market, though his veteran presence could be useful, and it's not like New York's abundance […]
