Fred Vanvleet is Questionable Against Wizards

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. This sounds like an upgrade after Vanvleet has missed the last five games with a knee injury. Norman Powell has stepped up in Vanvleet's absence. Fantasy owners should check back before tip-off for more information on Vanvleet.

Justise Winslow is Ruled Out for Friday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He was ruled out a full day in advance, so that's not a good sign. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson will fill the void without Winslow available. Nunn and Herro have the most […]

Frank Ntilikina is Fine for Friday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) will be available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Ntilikina missed Wednesday's practice, but was able to suit up for a full practice on Thursday. He hasn't done much since Mike Miller took over as the head coach. Elfrid Payton is the guard to be owned in […]

Malik Monk is Not on Injury Report for Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He suffered a hip contusion on Wednesday and didn't return to that contest. It appears he'll be fine for Saturday's game which means Dwayne Bacon could be pushed out of the rotation. Monk has […]

Russell Westbrook Explodes For Season-High 40 Points

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook led his team to a 122-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers with 40 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two triples, and a steal.

Patty Mills Drills Season-High Seven Triples Off Bench

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Patty Mills needed just 26 minutes to compile 27 points as a reserve during Thursday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets. He shot 8-for-14 from the field overall, but 7-for-10 from long range, setting a new season high in triples made. The only other time in his regular-season career that Mills […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Drops Career-High 41 Points In Loss

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie notched another feather in his cap during what has been a breakout campaign, setting a new career high with 41 points on 14-for-29 shooting during Thursday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Trae Young Gets 30 Points Despite Bad Shooting Night

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young shot a measly 9-for-28 from the field on Thursday, but he still ended up with 30 points in a 111-106 loss to Utah.

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell continued his recent good scoring streak with a 30-point effort on Thursday against Atlanta, finishing a 111-106 win with 30 points on 12-for-22 shooting. He also recorded five rebounds, five assists and one steal with four turnovers. Mitchell shot just 1-for-6 from deep, so it could've easily been an even […]

George Hill Comes Up Big Against The Lakers

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill was crucial in Milwaukee's victory over the Lakers on Thursday by dropping 21 points in 27 minutes off the bench. He also shot seven of 12 from the field and three of five from beyond the arc. Despite remaining part of the second unit, Hill still managed to match Donte […]

Goran Dragic is Upgraded for Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He's missed the last nine games due to a groin issue. It appears Dragic is on the right track to return for Friday's contest. Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, and Kendrick Nunn would lose a few minutes […]

Brad Wanamaker is Probable for Friday

Boston Celtics guard Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He saw 26 minutes on Wednesday with Marcus Smart (eye) sidelined. Smart has already been ruled out for Friday and Gordon Hayward (foot) is questionable. Wanamaker could be in the streaming conversation with Smart and possibly Hayward sidelined […]

Frank Ntilikina Was Able to Practice on Thursday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) was a full participant for Thursday's practice. He missed practice on Wednesday, but it appears he's on track to play in Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Ntilikina has played better since Mike Miller took over heading coaching duties. However, Elfrid Payton is the guard to be owned […]

Delon Wright is Questionable on Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Delon Wright (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Wright suffered a right pinky sprain during Wednesday's contest. Seth Curry (back) is questionable for Friday as well, so Jalen Brunson could be looking at heavy run. He'd be worth a look as a DFS option on Friday, […]

Jamal Murray Bounces Back In Huge Way

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored 33 points with five rebounds, two triples, one assist, and a steal in a 113-104 win over the Orlando Magic.

He also finished as the team’s leading assist […]

C.J. McCollum Delivers Second Straight 30-Point Performance

Portland Trail Blazers point/shooting guard C.J. McCollum nearly had an identical performance from his excellent 30-point showing versus Phoenix on Monday when he dropped 30 points on the Golden State Warriors in Wednesday’s win. McCollum shot 11-for-19 from the field overall, including 3-for-8 from long range, and padded his stat line by adding five rebounds […]

Lonzo Ball Plays Productive 21 Minutes Off The Bench

He shot 4-for-10 from the floor, including 2-for-7 from outside, and his line also included four turnovers, so it wasn't a perfect night, but he's done […]

Jrue Holiday Shoots Horribly In Wednesday's Win

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday had an awful night at the office on Wednesday, shooting only 5-for-20 from the field in a 107-99 win over Minnesota.

Damian Lillard Ties Season-High 13 Assists During 31-Point Night

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard made mincemeat of the Golden State Warriors’ defense during Wednesday’s win. The four-time All-Star shot 9-for-20 from the field en route to a 31-point performance, also tying his season high in assists with 13, while adding five rebounds. It continued a trend that has spanned Lillard’s career, one […]

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander collected 20 points during Wednesday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing 7-for-16 from the field after having attempted just three shots his last time out.

Fred Vanvleet Will Likely Sit Versus Pistons

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Nick Nurse said Vanvleet looked better during Tuesday's practice, but we'll see what happens. Norman Powell has been playing very well during Vanvleet's absence. DFS players should be able to rely on Powell once again […]

Frank Ntilikina Doesn't Practice on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with an unknown illness, but will have two days to rest before Friday's game. Elfrid Payton and Dennis Smith Jr. would be asked to split up the minutes if Ntilikina is unable to play on Friday. Payton […]

Mike Conley is Expected to Miss Multiple Games

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is going to be sidelined the next few games and could miss weeks of action. He returned from a five game absence on Tuesday, but aggravated his hamstring issue. The Jazz are going to be cautious with their veteran guard, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Conley miss […]

Lonzo Ball is Questionable for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ball played 35 minutes on Tuesday, but could sit out due to a right hip contusion. J.J. Redick (groin) is probable, so Ball is likely going to come off the bench even if he suits up. Fantasy […]

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon made some key shots and had a good all-around performance on Tuesday against the Lakers, finishing a 105-102 win with 14 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one block.
