The 34-year-old […]

Kyrie Irving Could Practice After All-Star Break
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (knee) could return to practice after the All-Star break, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson. It's unclear when Irving is going to be able to get back on the court. It will likely depend on how he feels after those practices, so fantasy owners are going to have to wait […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton posted 23 points along with six assists in a win over the Hawks on Wednesday.

Reggie Jackson Notches Double-Double
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson supplied 12 points, three rebounds and 11 assists through 36 minutes in the 116-112 overtime loss to the Magic on Wednesday. It was a rather poor shooting night for the 29-year-old, as he went 5-for-16 from the field and 2-for-8 from downtown. The veteran has cooled off the past two […]
Patrick Beverley To Miss Fourth Straight Game Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley will be unable to return for his team’s first-half finale Thursday versus the Boston Celtics due to right groin soreness. Lou Williams is a likely candidate to remain among the starting five, although his offensive output has not varied much with his insertion into the starting group. Despite […]
Mike Conley Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest
Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley will miss Wednesday’s game versus the Miami Heat due to an illness. His absence will mark his second contest in a row on the sidelines, paving the way for Jordan Clarkson to continue seeing an elevated role off the bench.

Terry Rozier, Cody Zeller Set To Be Sidelined Wednesday
The Charlotte Hornets will be without point/shooting guard Terry Rozier (knee) for Wednesday’s game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves and are unlikely to have the services of center Cody Zeller as well.

Mike Conley is Listed as Questionable for Wednesday
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Conley was expected to play on Monday, but sat out due to an illness. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Jazz decide to rest him again here with the All-Star break this close. Joe Ingles could be […]
Delon Wright is Probable for Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Delon Wright (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He tweaked his right ankle on Monday and was unable to return to that contest. Luka Doncic (ankle) is expected to get back out there, so Wright would see his fantasy value take a significant dip if that […]
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Derrick Rose Will Play on Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guards Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (hip) and Derrick Rose (hip) will be active for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Mykhailiuk has missed each of the last five games due to a right hip issue. He'll likely be under a minutes limit his first game back, so Mykhailiuk won't be the best fantasy option here. […]

Dejounte Murray Drops Career-High 25 Points In Win
San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray needed just 27 minutes to set a new career high in scoring with 25 points during Tuesday’s victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Patty Mills, Derrick White Combine To Lead Second Unit

Coby White Scores 14 Points Off The Bench Against Washington
Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White cobbled together 14 points in a loss to the Wizards to go with seven assists, five rebounds, four steals and two three-point makes. White struggled with his shot, converting only four of his 14 field-goal attempts, but he took care of the basketball to the tune of just one […]
Tomas Satoransky Nearly Posts A Double-Double
Chicago Bulls guard Tomas Satoransky finished a loss to the Wizards with 19 points on seven of 12 shooting with eight assists and two three-pointers. Satoransky has been a bit all over the place in recent weeks, fluctuating between stretches of single- and double-digit scoring outings, but this was his second consecutive game in double […]
Zach LaVine Explodes For 41 Points Against Washington
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine had his shot working for him versus the Wizards, dropping 41 points on 15 of 21 shooting to go with nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in a defeat. LaVine also shot eight of 11 from beyond the arc one game after draining five triples on his way to […]
Mike Conley Picks Up Questionable Designation For Wednesday
Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley is dealing with an illness that has forced the team to tag him as questionable for Wednesday’s contest against the Miami Heat.

Anfernee Simons Cleared To Suit Up Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers point/shooting guard Anfernee Simons has been given the thumbs up to return to action for Tuesday’s contest against the New Orleans Pelicans after a one-game absence due to a concussion. Simons should be in line to reclaim his role off the bench against the up-tempo Pelicans, potentially suppressing Gary Trent Jr.'s role, […]
Kyrie Irving Will Sit Out Against Raptors
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Irving was not expected to play in this game, so this shouldn't come as a shock to fantasy owners. It's unclear when Irving will return to the court. Hopefully he'll get back on the court shortly after the […]
Derrick Rose Back At Practice Tuesday
Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hip) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He has been sidelined since February 3 due to a hip issue. There's a chance that Rose gets back out there for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. However, the Pistons might take the cautious approach and rest Rose until after […]
