Brandon Knight Could Return in A Week

Houston Rockets guard Brandon Knight (knee) could be cleared to play in roughly seven to 10 days, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Knight was able to get through his first full practice on Wednesday. However, D'Antoni has not said that Knight will even have a spot in the rotation once he returns. It doesn't […]

Bobby Portis, Kris Dunn Could Return on Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (knee) and guard Kris Dunn (knee) could play on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to Jim Boylen. Both players have gone through two consecutive practices. It appears they should be back in the rotation soon. Wendell Carter Jr. and Jabari Parker will likely lose some value and minutes […]

Goran Dragic is Traveling With The Team

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is traveling with the team for their upcoming six-game road trip. The Heat have not officially ruled out Dragic for Friday's contest, so there is some hope he could play. Regardless, the fact he's traveling with the team means he should be back soon. Although, the Heat will likely […]

Tyreke Evans Expected to Remain A Starter

Indiana Pacers guard Tyreke Evans has been drawing starts with Victor Oladipo (knee) sidelined over the last eight games. Head coach Nate McMillan said he does not plan to remove Evans from the starting lineup. He's averaging 9.4 points, 3.3 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.9 steals and 2.9 turnovers per contest. It sounds like the Pacers […]

Ish Smith Undergoing MRI on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) will undergo an MRI on Thursday. Smith left Wednesday's contest due to a groin issue and was unable to return. Smith should be considered questionable for Friday's contest. Jose Calderon, Khyri Thomas, and Bruce Brown would see more action, assuming Smith is out on Friday. None of those players […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out for Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Harris will miss his second straight game after being unable to play in Saturday's contest. Torrey Craig drew the start, but Malik Beasley saw more minutes. Neither player is trustworthy in fantasy right now. The other starters will […]

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered one of the better performances of his rookie season during Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard/small forward Kyle Anderson delivered a strong showing during Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes.

He was all over the stat sheet, adding seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks, while bringing his scoring average up to 21.1 per game, which has him on pace […]

Jalen Brunson Records Career-High Seven Assists

Tim Frazier Continues Dishing Out Assists

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Tim Frazier logged just 23 minutes in his start during Wednesday’s victory over the Dallas Mavericks, but he packed the stat sheet with eight points, seven assists and six rebounds in that span. While his minutes took a bit of a dip, he is averaging 8.2 assists over his last […]

Jrue Holiday Drops 17 Points In Win

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Jrue Holiday helped key his team to a victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday with 17 points and eight assists, while also tying his season high with four steals.

Jamal Murray Scores 31 Points In Overtime Win

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray ended up logging 46 minutes in Wednesday's overtime win against Orlando, and he finished as the team's leading scorer with 31 points.

Tomas Satoransky Has Best Game Of The Season

Washington Wizards guard Tomas Satoransky set multiple season highs on Wednesday with 14 points, seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block in 38 minutes.

Jeremy Lin Leaves Wednesday's Game With A Back Strain

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) was only able to play four minutes on Wednesday before leaving the contest due to a lower back strain. The severity of the injury is still not known, but it is terrible news for the Hawks, who are already without Taurean Prince (ankle). Atlanta's next game is on Saturday […]

Bryn Forbes With Another Off Night

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes only managed two points, three rebounds and no assists in Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Forbes' scoring has been on a downward trend, as his last double-figure game was three games ago against the Rockets, and that was just 10 points. The third-year player has performed above the Spurs […]

Reggie Jackson Snatches Season-High Seven Rebounds

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson finished Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks with 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting in just 24 minutes. But he also added a season-high seven rebounds to go along with five assists, giving him one of his best all-around games of the year. Jackson has finished in single figures of […]

Langston Galloway Quiet In First Start Of Season

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Langston Galloway made his first start of the season during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in place of Reggie Bullock (ankle). Despite getting the nod, Galloway played just 23 minutes and finished with five points on 2-for-5 shooting. It was a wholly disappointing night for DFS owners who were banking […]

Eric Bledsoe Ties Season High With 27 Points

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe set his season high with 27 points Saturday against the New York Knicks and he wasted little time in tying that mark, doing so again in Wednesday’s win over the Detroit Pistons in just 26 minutes.

Kemba Walker Held To 15 Points In Defeat

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker was relatively quiet during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-16 shooting in 30 minutes of action.

Derrick Rose Goes For 16 Points Off Bench

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose delivered 16 points off the bench during Wednesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets. Rose was the only member of the Minnesota bench to finish in double figures, putting up 15 shots after his scoreless clunker against Houston on Monday. Rose has been a fairly reliable fantasy commodity this season, […]

Jeff Teague Dishes Out Career-High 18 Assists

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague set a new career high during Wednesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets with 18 assists across his 34 minutes. Teague scored just three points, but did a masterful job setting up Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins for massive scoring performances. Through play Wednesday, Teague is on pace for a […]

Ish Smith Won't Return Against Bucks

Detroit Pistons reserve point guard Ish Smith (groin) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Bucks. Smith strained his right groin during the third quarter of the game and struggled mightily in his attempt to return to the locker room. With Reggie Bullock (ankle) unavailable, expect Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard will get some […]

Stephen Curry Drops 42 Points On Cleveland

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry showed he's completely recovered from his injury in a blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton led the team in scoring Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Sexton scored 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting including three three-pointers in 35 minutes, but not much else.
