D.J. Augustin Dishes Out Season-High 10 Assists
Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin may no longer be among the team’s starting five, but he has still retained a significant role in the rotation, as was evidenced during Wednesday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers when he recorded a season-high 10 assists. Augustin played 30 minutes, which exceeded that of starter Markelle Fultz, adding […]
Malcolm Brogdon Scores 22 Points With Eight Dimes
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon poured in 22 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and two triples in a 121-102 win over the Utah Jazz. That's back to back games for Brogdon with at least 14 points, four rebounds, eight assists, and two threes on at least 50 percent shooting. His efficiency may be down from […]
Lonzo Ball Ruled Out For Matchup Versus Former Team
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball will officially be out of the mix for Wednesday’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers due to an illness. Ball’s absence likely opens the door for Nickeil Alexander-Walker to see an additional workload off the bench, while Jrue Holiday should handle the vast majority of ball-handling duties. Ball […]
Ja Morant To Suit Up Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies point guard JA Morant will be able to take the court for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers after having been tagged as questionable due to back soreness. Memphis has been quite conservative with the 20-year-old’s minutes during the early portion of his first professional season, and could be again Wednesday as […]
Justise Winslow Will Come Off Bench In Return Wednesday
Miami Heat point guard/small forward Justise Winslow has been cleared to return to the team’s rotation for Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets after a nine-game absence due to concussion-related symptoms.

Malik Monk Will Play on Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (finger) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as probable with a left pinky sprain on his non-shooting hand. Monk has some upside, but sadly he is only getting minutes in the low 20s right now. Fantasy owners could stash him and hope the […]
Kemba Walker Should Play on Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (neck) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered a scary neck injury on Friday, but Walker said he could've played on Monday. He should be fine going forward and is not expected to be limited on Wednesday. Fantasy owners can feel safe about […]
Ja Morant Might Sit Out Against Clippers
Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a back injury when he fell during Monday's contest. He'll likely be a game time decision for Wednesday, so fantasy owners will have to wait until later for a better update. Tyus Jones would be […]
Justise Winslow Should Be Fine for Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Winslow missed the last three weeks due to a concussion. Jimmy Butler (illness) is unlikely to play, so Winslow could be asked to do more on offense. However, the Heat might limit Winslow during his first game back. […]
Lonzo Ball Might Play Against Lakers
New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He left after Tuesday's practice due to a stomach bug. It's obvious Ball would love to play against his former team, but we'll see what happens. Ball is most likely going to be a game time […]
Ricky Rubio Should Play on Wednesday
Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (back) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed three straight games, but was able to get through a full practice on Tuesday. It sounds like Rubio will be back in the starting five on Wednesday, so Tyler Johnson will return to the […]
Lou Williams Drops An All-Around Line Against The Mavericks
LA Clippers guard Lou Williams had one of his better all-around performances in Dallas on Tuesday night, putting up 21 points on seven of 14 shooting along with six rebounds, five assists and four makes from downtown. The debut of Paul George could've stymied the production of Williams, but that hasn't been the case. Instead, […]
Luka Doncic Comes Back To Earth Against Clippers
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic had one of his few subpar performances on the year, registering 22 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a 15-point loss. LA's stout defense made Luka look like the 20-year-old he actually is, pressuring him into a 4-for-14 shooting performance along with seven turnovers. The 22 points were […]
Shake Milton, Kyle O’Quinn Both Out Of Mix For Wednesday
The Philadelphia 76ers will be without both point/shooting guard Shake Milton and center Kyle O’Quinn for Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. Milton will be missing his second consecutive contest due to an illness, while O’Quinn is also absent for the second straight game due to a left calf strain. Neither man has played a […]
Lonzo Ball is Unlikely to Play Versus Lakers
New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (illness) is expected to sit out of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He left after Tuesday's practice due to a stomach bug, so it appears unlikely he'll play on Wednesday. However, it's his first chance to play against his former team, so Ball will do everything in […]
Justise Winslow Returns to Practice
Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He's been sidelined since the first week of November due to a concussion. He's listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn would lose minutes and value if Winslow returns. However, Winslow could be […]
Ricky Rubio Was Able to Practice on Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (back) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice without any issues. He's missed three straight games, but Rubio is on track to return for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Tyler Johnson has been starting in his absence, but would be bumped back to the bench if Rubio is […]
Kemba Walker is Probable for Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (neck) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was carted off the court during Friday's game, but it appears he's only going to miss one game. Tremont Waters has been sent back to the G-League, which means there's a solid chance that Walker is ready […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo talents were on full display on Monday as he poured in a season-high 50 points to help secure the win over the Jazz.

Ben Simmons Just Misses A Triple-Double In Loss
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons provided a season-high 14 assists and flirted with a triple-double in the close loss to the Raptors on Monday. Simmons connected on 4-for-8 shooting en route to 10 points while grabbing nine rebounds with two steals in 41 minutes in this one. It was not all positive for Simmons as […]
Trae Young Scores 37 Points In Loss
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young had an excellent start to Week 6 of the fantasy basketball season on Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Terry Rozier Stays Productive In Loss To Heat
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier recorded 19 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three triples in a 117-100 loss to the Miami Heat.

Collin Sexton Fires Up Season-High 22 Shot Attempts In Loss
Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton was uber-aggressive from the field during Monday’s defeat to the Brooklyn Nets, setting a new season high with 22 shot attempts. Unfortunately for Sexton, just seven of those found the bottom of the basket, although he did finish with 18 points. He would add three rebounds and two assists […]
Spencer Dinwiddie Sinks Game-Winner, Collects 23 Points
Without point guard Kyrie Irving in the mix for the previous six games, the Brooklyn Nets have needed to rely heavily upon point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who once again answered the call during Monday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, sinking the game-winning bucket with less than two seconds remaining. The make capped off a 23-point […]
Ja Morant Logs Second Career Double-Double In Defeat
Memphis Grizzlies point guard JA Morant delivered a 19-point, 10-assist outing during Monday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers, giving him the second double-double of his young career.

Aaron Holiday Drops 16 Points In 18 Minutes Off Bench
Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Aaron Holiday shifted back to his bench role for Monday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, but continued his torrid scoring rate by dropping 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting in just 18 minutes. With Malcolm Brogdon cleared and taking over starting point guard duties, Holiday came off the bench for the first […]
George Hill To Miss First Game Of 2019-20 On Monday
The Milwaukee Bucks will be without point/shooting guard George Hill for Monday’s contest against the Utah Jazz, the first time this year that the veteran has been sidelined. Hill is dealing with back spasms, presumably paving the way for Donte Divincenzo and Eric Bledsoe to see slightly increased minutes totals. Hill has shot a career-best […]
Kemba Walker Ruled Out for Monday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He wasn't able to practice on Sunday and has officially been ruled out for this one. The Celtics are going to be cautious with their star point guard, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Walker miss multiple […]
