Isaiah Thomas Targeting A Return in December

Denver Nuggets guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) is reportedly targeting a return in December, according to Mike Singer. Neither the Nuggets or head coach Mike Malone have given a timetable on Thomas' return. Monte Morris has been playing well, so the Nuggets can afford to be patient with Thomas. It's truly unclear when Thomas will actually […]

Kyle Lowry Will Play on Monday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (back) will play in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as questionable after sitting out the last game. Fred Vanvleet will move to the bench with Lowry returning. There is no indication that Lowry will be under any minutes limit.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley scored 21 points on 6-for-17 shooting in Sunday's loss to the 76ers. The veteran also added five assists, two rebounds, a steal, and a block.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: A well-documented fact is that the Phoenix Suns do not have a point guard.

Damian Lillard Scores 37 Points In Sunday's Loss

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard recorded 37 points on 12-for-28 shooting while knocking down three makes from three, but it was not enough in his club's 131-118 loss to the Spurs on Sunday.

Kemba Walker Disappoints On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker missed all six attempts from downtown and shot a poor 5-for-16 overall in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans. He finished with only 13 points and five assists.

Frazier has impressed in the […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Cools Off In Sunday's Defeat

Los Angeles Clippers guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cooled off after scoring in double digits in three consecutive games in his club's four-point loss on Sunday. Gilgeous-Alexander scored just eight points on 2-for-5 shooting while gathering a single rebound with a steal and a block without adding a single assist in 24 minutes. We have to expect […]

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday shot 7-for-13 from the field, including 1-for-4 from deep, on his way to finishing with 19 points in Sunday's win over Charlotte.

Lou Williams Scores 21 Points With Eight Assists On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams recorded 21 points and added eight assists, but it was not enough in the four-point loss to the Mavericks on Sunday.

Devin Booker Hurts Hamstring In Sunday's Game

Before exiting, Booker was able to score six points with one rebound, two assists and one block. The 22-year-old limped to the locker room just before halftime and appeared to be in severe […]

Patty Mills Scores 16 Points Against Blazers

San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills had a good game against the Blazers on Sunday, recording 16 points, one rebound and six assists. Nine of his points came in 5:49 minutes of the first quarter.

Jeremy Lin Listed As Probable For Monday

Atlanta Hawks point/shooting guard Jeremy Lin is probable to make his return to action Monday against the Golden State Warriors.

Trey Burke Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

New York Knicks point guard Trey Burke has been ruled out for Monday’s contest against the Washington Wizards due to a right knee sprain. Burke picked up the injury during Saturday’s game against Milwaukee, leading to Emmanuel Mudiay taking the reins at the point.

Dennis Smith Jr. Set To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has been cleared to play in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, having previously been listed as questionable due to a sprained right wrist. With Luka Doncic sidelined, Smith Jr. is likely to have full reins on point guard duties, along with potentially more shots to go […]

Kyle Lowry Listed As Questionable For Monday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry is questionable for Monday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to a back injury that kept him sidelined Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Should Lowry miss Monday’s contest, it’s likely that Fred Van Vleet, who started in his place Saturday, could step back into the starting five. Lowry has […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic will be held out of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a right hip strain. This will mark the first game missed in the career of Doncic, who is coming off a season-low six-point performance against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Should Dennis Smith […]

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden dropped his ninth 30-point game of the season on Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls.

He scored 17 points, on an efficient 6-of-12 shooting, to go along with five assists, two three-pointers, two rebounds, and one steal. Jackson has had an impressive stretch of games recently.
