Kemba Walker Scores 26 Points Despite Injury Scare

Marcus Smart Scores Season-High 24 Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart came off the bench and scored a season-high 24 points on Thursday night. In the 109-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Smart was one of the few bright spots for the Celtics. Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for only 29 points, so Smart picked up the slack for […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Unable to Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He did get up some shots after practice, but was reportedly unable to jump. It seems unlikely that Bogdanovic will be out there for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Trevor Ariza should continue to absorb extra playing time. He's worth […]

Avery Bradley Might Sit On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bradley was not able to finish Thursday's practice after experiencing a fever. He will travel with the team, but we'll see if Bradley actually plays. Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see more minutes if […]

Stephen Curry Should Be Re-Evaluated in January

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) was able to go through some shooting drills on Thursday. It's good news, but the Warriors aren't in any rush to bring Curry back to the court. He's expected to be re-evaluated in two or three weeks. There's a chance that Curry gets back on the court around […]

D'Angelo Russell Returns to Practice

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He hasn't played since December 28 due to a bruised right shoulder. Russell is traveling with the team for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. It's unclear whether or not Russell would be on a minutes limit […]

D.J. Augustin Ties Career High With 13 Free-Throw Attempts

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin slashed his way to 18 points against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. Augustin did not have an efficient shooting night (3-for-9 on field goals) but was able to get to the line all night and made 10 of his 13 free-throw attempts. They were his most attempts from […]

Bradley Beal Will Not Play Against Magic

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) will sit Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Beal was a game-time decision as he continues to deal with leg soreness, but will not make his long awaited return to the court. Jordan McRae and Ish Smith continue to be the biggest benefactors here along with Garrison Mathews.

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. This will mark the fourth straight game that Brogdon has missed due to back issues. There's some hope that he'll be able to play this weekend, but we'll see how he progresses. Aaron Holiday and T.J. McConnell will […]

Justise Winslow is Back on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. However, he's missed the last 15 games, so he'll be eased back into action here. Fantasy owners should expect minutes in the teens from Winslow here. Goran Dragic, Kendrick Nunn, and Tyler Herro could lose some value from the return […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He continues to deal with his bruised left elbow and could be sidelined for a few more games. Holiday said his elbow is swelling and it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up for the back-to-back […]

Kemba Walker Will Be On Minutes Limit

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) is returning to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's missed each of the last three games while battling an illness. He should be inserted back into the starting five, but will be on a minutes limit Wednesday. Marcus Smart will head back to […]

Fred Vanvleet is Listed as Out for Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Vanvleet is going to be out for a little while. Fantasy owners can expect Vanvleet to sit out the next couple of games. Terence Davis, Patrick McCaw, and Matt Thomas will gain […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Might Play on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's missed the last two weeks due to an oblique issue. Frank Ntilikina and Elfrid Payton are in the rotation as well, so Smith won't have a huge role when healthy. He'll likely only see minutes […]

Victor Oladipo is Expected to Return in Late January

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee, quad) is targeting a return for a home matchup against the Chicago Bulls on January 29. He hasn't played in a year, so the Pacers are going to be cautious with Oladipo. He's worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but it'll take time for him to […]

Mike Conley Was Active During Shootaround

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) was seen active during Wednesday's shootaround. He won't play in Wednesday's contest, but it appears he's making progress towards a return. Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson will continue to pick up more minutes until Conley returns. Ingles has been a reliable fantasy asset most games. Conley remains without a […]

Elfrid Payton Has Busy Night Against Lakers

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton did a bit of everything on Tuesday against the Lakers, finishing a 117-87 loss with 12 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block.

RJ Barrett Scores Team-High 19 Points

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett led the team with 19 points in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, shooting 9-for-19 from the field and adding five rebounds. The 19-year-old rookie has been very inconsistent during his first campaign, but he's now managed two consecutive good scoring performances. Chances of a third one on Wednesday aren't […]

Ja Morant Scores 25 Points In The Win On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies rookie guard JA Morant connected on an efficient 12 of 18 shooting from the floor en route to 25 points and added seven dimes to help secure the win over Minnesota on Tuesday. Morant also chipped in four rebounds and a steal but did cough the ball up five times. Morant is off […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jarrett Culver had himself a night when he scored a career-high 24 points on an efficient 8-for-11 shooting from the floor in the 119-112 defeat at the hands of the Grizzlies. Culver added some solid extras with two steals, five rebounds, and three triples while committing just a single turnover in 28 […]

Kyle Lowry Hands Out 10 Assists In Loss On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry struggled to connect from the floor but managed to set up his teammates as he recorded 10 assists on Tuesday. Lowry connected on just 7-for-23 shooting en route to 24 points and made just four of 16 of his attempts from three while also adding four rebounds and a block […]

Damian Lillard Scores 20 Points In Win

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard recorded 18 of his 20 points in the second half and provided nine assists in the two-point win over Toronto on Tuesday.

Brandon Knight Drops Season-High 13 Points As Reserve

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Brandon Knight saw a season-best 24 minutes during Tuesday’s loss to the Detroit Pistons and utilized his time on the floor to collect a season-high 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting, including going 3-for-7 from behind the three-point line. Knight’s increased usage over the past two games has been directly tied to […]

Derrick Rose Knocks Down Go-Ahead Bucket Versus Former Team

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Derrick Rose put his squad ahead for good in the waning seconds of Tuesday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former MVP led the way with a team-high 24 points as a reserve, having now reached the 20-point plateau in five of his last six outings. The 21 shots that Rose […]

De'Aaron Fox Drops Team-High 27 Points In Comeback Win

Fox finished 9-for-21 from the field, tying his season high in shot attempts, while packing six assists and four rebounds into his stat line. The speedy fourth-year guard has taken on […]

Jrue Holiday Will Miss Second Game Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) will not play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Coach Alvin Gentry originally ruled Holiday as a game-time decision, then ruled him out entirely over 24 hours before tip-off. Josh Hart started on Monday, but did not perform too well. E'Twaun Moore played well off the bench, but the […]

Kemba Walker is Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's missed each of the last three games and has been sidelined a week.
