Kendrick Nunn Scores 24 Points Against Minnesota
Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn shot nine of 19 in a loss to the Timberwolves on his way to 24 points along with six assists and two three-pointers. Nunn has been on a tear amid Miami's recent struggles, having scored at least 20 points with multiple three-pointers in three consecutive games. The scoring prowess doesn't […]
Trae Young Scores 37 Points In Losing Effort
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young scored 37 points but shot just 10 of 27 from the field in a 130-120 loss to the Orlando Magic. Young recorded double-digit assists for the third straight game along with 13 makes from the free-throw line to help mask a poor shooting performance. He's been a top-five value in […]
Malik Beasley Scores 21 Points Against The Heat
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley shot seven of 14 from the field in a win over Miami to finish with 21 points along with six rebounds, five assists, three three-pointers and two steals.

D'Angelo Russell Scores 27 Points Down In Miami
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell scored 27 points on nine of 18 shooting in a win over the Heat on Wednesday, also chipping in six assists, five rebounds and three steals.

Frank Ntilikina Will Sit Out Versus Hornets
New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the second game in a row that Ntilikina has missed due to groin soreness. Elfrid Payton and Dennis Smith Jr. will be asked to split up the minutes at point guard. Payton is the better […]
Shabazz Napier Will Start on Wednesday
Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Napier dropped 27 points during Monday's game, so head coach Scott Brooks will give him the nod here. It's unlikely that Napier goes off again, but he'll have increased value in the starting five. He'll be worth […]
Malik Monk Gets Suspended
Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk has been suspended for violating the league's anti-drug policy. It's unclear what he tested positive for, but his suspension will continue until he's determined to be in compliance with the program, according to Shams Charania. Dwayne Bacon could get called up from the G-League, while Cody Martin gets more playing […]
Kemba Walker is Ruled Out Versus Jazz
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Brad Stevens said on Tuesday that Walker was unlikely to suit up here. Marcus Smart should remain in the starting five and be a reliable DFS choice for Wednesday's slate. Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Gordon […]
Joe Ingles Moves to the Bench
Utah Jazz guard Joe Ingles will move to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Veteran Mike Conley will move back into the starting five, but he hasn't played well in that spot this season. The Jazz are trying new rotations and seeing what works as the playoffs get closer. Conley should […]

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox had his third consecutive 20-plus point game on Tuesday, going for 21 in a 112-94 win over the Warriors.

Malik Monk Struggles With His Shot Against Indiana
Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk couldn't find his shot in a blowout loss to the Pacers on Tuesday, shooting just four of 13 to finish with just eight points and three assists.

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon scored 15 points in a win over Charlotte on Tuesday to go with seven assists, six rebounds and two three-pointers.

Stephen Curry Will Return on Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) will return to the court for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. This was his expected return date, but it appears Curry is actually going to make his timetable. There should be some restrictions on Curry, but he should be owned in all fantasy formats going forward. Ky […]
Ben Simmons Will Be Evaluated in Two Weeks
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is battling a nerve impingement in his lower back and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Sixers haven't given an exact timetable for his return, but he could very well miss more time than two weeks. Fantasy owners should hold Simmons for now and hope for the best. […]
Russell Westbrook Will Play on Wednesday
Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (thumb) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Westbrook did not play in Monday's game after attending the memorial service of the late Kobe Bryant. It appears he's healthy and ready to play on Wednesday, so James Harden won't see as […]
Kemba Walker Might Suit Up on Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has a chance to play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. It sounds like the Celtics are taking it slow and letting Walker get back to full speed. Fantasy owners should check back on […]
Frank Ntilikina is Doubtful Versus Charlotte
New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He did not play in Monday's game due to a lingering groin issue. Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as probable, so he should see a bulk of the playing time if Ntilikina is unable to play. Dennis […]
Elfrid Payton is Expected to Return on Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed each of the last two games due to right ankle soreness. He was playing very well before the All-Star break, so hopefully that continues when he returns to the court. Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed […]
Damian Lillard Will Sit Versus Celtics
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This marks the third game in a row that Lillard has missed due to a groin issue. There's a good chance that he sits out of Thursday's contest as well. C.J. McCollum will be asked to do […]
Ja Morant Held In Check In Monday's Bad Loss
Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant was held in check against the Clippers on Monday and it greatly affected the outcome of the game with his club losing this one by 27 points. Morant did connect on an efficient 16 points as he connected on 7-for-13 shooting, but he managed just a single assist, with nothing […]
Trae Young Tallies Another Double-Double
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young made it five double-doubles in seven games with a 28-point, 10-assist performance in Monday's loss to Philadelphia. He also had seven rebounds, shooting 10-for-22 from the field but a miserable 2-for-11 from outside. Young was fairly quiet in the opening half with just 10 points, but he salvaged his […]
Ricky Rubio Has A Revenge Game To Remember
On Monday night, Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio returned to Utah and reminded the Jazz fans what they are missing out on with a stellar revenge game. In his team's 131-111 win, Rubio flirted with an elusive quadruple-double by tallying 22 points, 11 assists, seven steals, and six rebounds in 33 minutes. The seven steals […]
D'Angelo Russell Churns Out 29 Points In 31 Minutes
Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell departed a situation in Golden State where he was the primary offensive weapon on a nightly basis, just to arrive in Minnesota and find himself in nearly the same situation. But much like while with the Warriors, Russell has made the most of it from a fantasy perspective, torching […]
Luka Doncic Collects 20 Points Across 25 Minutes In Return
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic got back into the mix for Monday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. Doncic was needed for only 25 minutes due to the nature of Dallas’ late lead, stunting a stat line that still finished strong and saw the MVP candidate […]
Goran Dragic Contributes 22 Points With Six Assists
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic contributed 22 points off the bench in a 125-119 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dragic added six dimes, four rebounds, and two triples.

Spencer Dinwiddie Finishes With Team-High 24 Points
Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie led the team in scoring for the third time in February with 24 points during Monday’s loss to the Orlando Magic.
