D'Angelo Russell Drills Career-High Nine Threes

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell caught fire from long range during Monday night’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Russell finished with 31 points, knocking down a career-high nine made threes on 15 attempts. He carried additional offensive weight after the departure of Caris Levert, who suffered what appears to be a serious leg injury. […]

Markelle Fultz Struggles On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz scored five points on 2-for-8 shooting on Monday night against the Miami Heat, adding in two rebounds and five assists. Fultz had been trending in the right direction over his previous few contests, but this game does have him take a backward step in his maturation process. He attempted an […]

Ben Simmons Effective On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons scored 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the field, adding in seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal. Simmons is averaging 17.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists in his previous five contests, but he will be asked to play off the ball more with Jimmy Butler arriving in Philadelphia. […]

Elfrid Payton Remains Out Monday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) will stay on the bench Monday night against the Toronto Raptors.

Shaun Livingston Will Play on Monday

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (foot) will play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed seven straight games, but is finally back in the rotation.

Elfrid Payton is Doubtful on Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's listed as questionable on the injury report, but head coach Alvin Gentry made it sound more doubtful than anything. Wesley Johnson has been benefiting the most with Payton sidelined. It's difficult to imagine Johnson being relevant […]

Jeff Teague Could Return on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) was a full participant in Monday's shootaround. He was listed as out on Sunday, but after going through shootaround there is a good chance Teague suits up. Derrick Rose would likely lose significant minutes and value if Teague returns. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for […]

Kyrie Irving Scores 21 Points On 24 Shots On Sunday

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving came into this one smoking hot but regressed a little on offense as he was quite inefficient with his shot in the loss on Sunday.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored 14 points with five rebounds, two assists and two steals on 7-for-16 shooting from the field against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Draymond Green And Shaun Livingston Questionable Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (toe) and Shaun Livingston (foot) are questionable Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Both Green and Livingston have been out as they battle ailments but appear to be nearing returns to the court. If Green is unable to play, Jordan Bell would remain in the starting lineup and be […]

Stephen Curry Ruled Out Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (groin) will not play Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry will miss his second consecutive game with a "low-to-mild" groin strain. Being ruled out more than a day in advance is usually not a great sign for Curry's status moving forward, but the Warriors are most likely […]

Reggie Jackson Scores 19 Points Sunday

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson posted a solid stat line Sunday afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets. Jackson scored 19 points on 6-for-15 shooting while also contributing seven assists, three rebounds and two three-pointers in 32 minutes.

Ryan Arcidiacono Will Start on Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Ryan Arcidiacono will draw another start against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Head coach Fred Hoiberg says he plans to use the same point guard rotation from Saturday's game.

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Monday

Jeff Teague Ruled Out for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Tom Thibodeau recently said that Teague is getting "real close" to returning. Derrick Rose will continue to benefit with Teague sidelined. Rose has been fantastic this season and is a reliable fantasy option right now.

Kyrie Irving Will Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (personal) will play in Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He did not play last game because Irving was at a memorial for his grandfather. Irving has been playing better lately, so that's a good sign for fantasy owners. It sounds like it's safe for fantasy owners to plug […]

Quinn Cook Comes Up Big For Warriors

Golden State Warriors point guard Quinn Cook started on Saturday against the Nets with Stephen Curry out, and Cook was big for the Warriors. He scored 27 points on 11-for-16 shooting and added five assists and three rebounds. With Curry expected to miss a little time, Cook can be a good streaming option in a […]
