In that span, Brunson has averaged 10.7 points, […]
Kemba Walker Continues Scoring Streak
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker played extremely well Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Walker scored 30 points on 10-of-22 shooting with four of those made buckets coming from beyond the arc. Also in the contest, Walker supplemented his scoring output with 11 boards, six assists, and two steals. In the last three games, Walker […]
Chris Paul Records Double-Double In Big Win
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul registered his first double-double since returning from injury on Wednesday, finishing a 127-101 win over Sacramento with 15 points and 11 assists. He had a poor night from the field, shooting 4-for-13, but a 6-for-6 record from the charity stripe helped him to double figures. Paul also had two […]
James Harden Has 36 Points With Only Two Free Throws
Houston Rockets guard James Harden shot only 2-for-2 from the line in his latest big game on Wednesday against Sacramento. The Beard torched the Kings from downtown, shooting 8-for-13 and he finished with 36 points, shooting 13-for-26 overall from the field. Eric Gordon had a nice night from deep as well as he shot 4-for-10 […]
Jamal Murray Returns In Double-Double Form
Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray was back on the floor on Wednesday following a six-game absence, and he looked fully healthy, delivering a 19-point, 11-assist double-double. Murray played 32 minutes and shot 8-for-17 from the field, including 2-for-4 from downtown. Monte Morris' fantasy value takes a hit with Murray in the lineup, but he […]
D'Angelo Russell Drops Six Treys On Denver
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell was hot from downtown on Wednesday against Denver, shooting 6-for-9 on his way to 27 points. He also had 11 assists and six rebounds, while his overall shooting stood at 10-for-23. Russell has upped his production massively since the turn of the year, and he's in a prime spot […]
Bombs Away For Eric Bledsoe, Malcolm Brogdon, Khris Middleton
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe went for 22 points, 11 assists and six rebounds while registering two assists and four three-pointers in Wednesday's 148-129 victory against the Washington Wizards.

Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss Are Cleveland Bound
Point/shooting guard Brandon Knight and power forward/center Marquese Chriss are again on the move, reportedly heading to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a part of a three-team deal Wednesday. Knight has appeared in just 12 games this season off the bench for Houston, last appearing Jan. 11 as he makes his way back from a knee […]
Jamal Murray To Make Return Wednesday
Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray has been cleared to return for Wednesday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets after having missed the previous six games due to a left ankle sprain. Murray will presumably head Denver’s offense, which means Monte Morris will shift back to a bench role, although it’s unlikely he’ll fall too far […]
Jeff Teague Unlikely To Suit Up On Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague is listed as doubtful to play in Thursday’s match-up versus the Orlando Magic due to left foot soreness. Teague has missed each of his team’s seven previous games, although the fact that he hasn’t been outright ruled out may bode well for his chances of returning Friday versus New […]
Derrick Rose Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game
Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose will miss Thursday’s contest versus the Orlando Magic due to right ankle soreness. Rose continues to battle ankle injuries, now having missed six of the previous seven games. It’s possible that the trio of Rose, Jeff Teague and Tyus Jones are all sidelined again, which would continue to pave […]
Wayne Ellington Likely To Be Waived After Trade To Suns
Point/shooting guard Wayne Ellington was part of a trade Wednesday between the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns which saw the swap of Tyler Johnson and Ryan Anderson. Ellington appears to have tagged along in that deal, although the Suns are likely to waive the veteran, paving the way for him to become a free agent […]
Tony Parker To Miss Wednesday’s Contest
Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker will be sidelined for Wednesday’s outing against the Dallas Mavericks due to a back strain. Parker was forced to leave Tuesday’s game early, so his inability to make a turnaround just 24 hours later isn’t all that surprising. In his stead, Kemba Walker could see a few extra minutes […]
Tyler Johnson Has Been Traded to Phoenix
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson has been traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson. This is clearly a salary swap move, but Johnson is the better player, so it hurts the Heat. The Suns desperately need guard help, so Johnson should be able to easily play 30 minutes in Phoenix. He needs […]
Trey Burke Should Be Available on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He will make his team debut, but should remain left on the waiver wire for the moment. Head coach Rick Carlisle will likely have Burke come off the bench at first. He'll compete with Jalen Brunson for playing […]
Jamal Murray is Questionable on Wednesday
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is getting closer to a return, but remains listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to head coach Mike Malone. Monte Morris would lose minutes and value with Murray back on the court. Fantasy owners are going to need to check back closer to game […]
Kyrie Irving Will Play Thursday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving has missed three of the last five games due to a left hip injury, but is expected to return on Thursday. Terry Rozier will head back to the bench with Irving back in action against the Lakers.
Russell Westbrook Finishes With Seventh Straight Triple-Double
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook may have been slow to integrate the triple-double into his game in 2018-19, but it appears there is no looking back for the MVP candidate who logged his seventh consecutive triple-double during Tuesday’s win over the Orlando Magic. Westbrook not only leads the league by a considerable margin […]
Ben Simmons Logs Season-High 44 Minutes In Defeat
Philadelphia 76ers point guard/small forward Ben Simmons continued his recent trend of an increased workload during Tuesday’s loss to the Toronto Raptors, recording a season-high 44 minutes. Simmons hit the 20-point mark for the third straight game, adding seven rebounds, six assists and three steals, but also recorded six or more turnovers for the 10th […]
Kyle Lowry Ties Season High With Five Triples During Win
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry was originally doubtful to suit up for Tuesday’s victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, but he took the floor and ultimately tied his season high with five made threes. Lowry logged 35 minutes and recorded 20 points, six assists and two steals, despite trade rumors swirling. Owners can assume that […]
Mike Conley Knocks Down Six Triples In Victory
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley delivered his fifth consecutive 20-plus-point outing during Tuesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, knocking down six triples in the process. Conley has been scorching hot as of late, and with the late scratch of Marc Gasol due to trade rumors, Conley took on a bigger offensive role and thrived. […]
Jordan Clarkson Goes Ice-Cold During Defeat
Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson couldn’t get into rhythm from the field during Tuesday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing 2-for-13 overall, including 1-for-7 from three-point range. Clarkson figures to continue seeing his usual volume of offensive looks with Rodney Hood having been dealt to Portland, so owners can chalk up his performance versus […]
Collin Sexton Drills Trio Of Threes En Route To 27 Points
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton tied his career high with three made triples during Tuesday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, which saw him finish with 27 points. The 24 shot attempts (11 of which were made) that Sexton put up set a new career-best, taking on expanded offensive duties with Rodney Hood having been […]
Kemba Walker's 32 Points Not Enough On Tuesday
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored 32 points on 11-for-23 shooting on Tuesday against the Clippers, but it wasn't enough to stretch a home winning streak to six games. Backcourt mate Jeremy Lamb also had a nice outing with 22 points. Kemba played 39 minutes without a single turnover, handing out nine assists and […]
Landry Shamet Acquired By Clippers
Point/shooting guard Landry Shamet was the key piece snagged by the Los Angeles Clippers in a deal that sent Tobias Harris to the Philadelphia 76ers, which was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Shamet will be joined by Wilson Chandler and Mike Muscala out in LA, leaving a likely playoff-bound Sixers club for a […]
Lou Williams Goes For 31 Points Versus Charlotte
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams cooked up another impressive scoring display on Tuesday, notching 31 points in 32 minutes against Charlotte. The team had an amazing night from deep and so did Williams, who shot 5-for-6 from downtown. He was 10-for-23 overall from the field, adding six assists, three rebounds and one block to […]
Damian Lillard Records Double-Double
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard scored 13 points and had a team-high 10 assists on Tuesday against the Heat. The four-time All-Star continues to show elite status in all formats and he will be in line for another excellent performance on Thursday against San Antonio.
Dennis Smith Jr. Explodes For 25 Points Tuesday
Newly acquired New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. took over New York's offense Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons. Smith scored 25 points on 11-for-25 shooting while adding six rebounds, five assists, and two three-pointers in 39 minutes. Smith took a huge step up from his eight point debut in a Knicks jersey on […]
Tony Parker Exits Early Due To Injury
Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker left Tuesday’s contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers early due to a back strain and was unable to return. Parker logged nine minutes off the bench, finishing with four points on 2-for-5 shooting. Without Parker in the fold, Kemba Walker logged a heavier load, which would likely be the […]
Raul Neto In Line To Make Return Wednesday
Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto will likely get back into the fold for Wednesday’s contest versus the Phoenix Suns. Neto has been out since Jan. 9 due to a left groin strain, and his return will allow him to back up Ricky Rubio, thus freeing up Donovan Mitchell to play off the ball. Despite […]
