Houston Rockets point guard James Harden registered 31 points with eight rebounds, seven assists and five steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 120-104 victory against the Dallas Mavericks.

D'Angelo Russell's Monster Double-Double Not Enough

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell filled up the box score against the Raps on Monday, but it was not enough as Kawhi Leonard nailed a game-winning jumper in the dying seconds to seal the win.

Elfrid Payton Up In The Air For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday’s contest versus the Orlando Magic due to the right ankle sprain that has kept him out for the previous seven games. To be specific, head coach Alvin Gentry deemed Payton a “maybe” to play, which sounds much less scientific […]

Dennis Schroder To Miss Monday’s Game Due To Personal Reasons

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder will be held out of Monday’s contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers due to personal reasons. The team has not announced if Schroder’s absence will be an extended one, although just Thursday’s contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans remains prior to the All-Star break. Oklahoma City will also […]

Jerryd Bayless Cleared To Suit Up Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Jerryd Bayless will be available against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday after having been deemed questionable due to a sore right big toe.

Devonte' Graham To Sit Out Monday’s Contest

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham will be in street clothes for Monday’s game versus the Indiana Pacers due to an illness.

Tony Parker Ruled Out on Monday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Jeremy Lin is Finalizing Buyout With Hawks

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin is finalizing a buyout with the team and is expected to sign with the Toronto Raptors.

Fred VanVleet is Doubtful for Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (thumb) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Raptors are banged up at guard, so Kyle Lowry is going to be asked to play heavy minutes.

Kyrie Irving Won't Play Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Terry Rozier will draw the […]

Tomas Satoransky Ruled Out on Monday

Washington Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. His wife is having a baby, so that explains Satoransky's absence in this one. Chasson Randle will draw the start and he could have some DFS appeal on Monday. Bradley Beal will be asked to run the […]

Derrick Rose Expected to Play Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) said he will play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Rose has missed the last three games and sat out six of the last seven contests. Jeff Teague (foot) was limited when he returned last game, so there's a good chance that Rose is limited if he […]

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry made exactly half of his 18 shots in Sunday's win over Miami, finishing with 25 points. He went 5-for-10 from deep and sank both of his free throws.

Tyler Johnson Is Quiet In Sunday's Start

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson has taken over the starting point guard spot since his arrival in Phoenix and the athletic guard did not provide too much in Sunday's loss.

Tyus Jones Unlikely To Make Return For Monday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones has been listed as doubtful to play in Monday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a left ankle sprain.

Damian Lillard Shakes Off Rough Start On Sunday, Scores 30 Points

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard struggled to get going on Sunday against Dallas, but finished strongly and had 30 points in the end on 10-for-23 shooting. Dame went a superb 6-for-11 from downtown while dishing out five assists and recording two steals. His partner in crime C.J. McCollum had an awful outing, missing […]

Tony Parker Tagged As Doubtful For Monday’s Contest

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker will likely remain sidelined for Monday’s outing versus the Indiana Pacers due to a back strain.

Jerryd Bayless Listed As Questionable For Monday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Jerryd Bayless has his status for Monday’s contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers up in the air due to a sore right big toe.

Shelvin Mack Claimed Off Waivers By Hornets

Point/shooting guard Shelvin Mack will join the Charlotte Hornets after he was claimed off waivers Sunday.

Derrick Rose Questionable To Make Return Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose appears to be nearing a return to action, but is tagged as questionable to play in Monday’s game versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to right ankle soreness.

Russell Westbrook Records Triple-Double Against Houston

Another day, another triple-double for Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. The former MVP has taken a bit of a backseat as a scoring option with Paul George taking a leap this season, but Westbrook remains a strong fantasy option because of nights like Saturday's win over the Rockets. In that game, Westbrook finished […]

Kyle Lowry Ties Season High With Five Made Triples
