Delon Wright is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice and remains questionable for Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics. It would be surprising to see Wright back on the court this quick. Fred Vanvleet should see minutes in the 20-25 range if Wright sits out again.

Cameron Payne Will Start on Thursday

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start at point guard against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Kris Dunn (personal) is not available for this one, so Payne will get the emergency start. Payne could be a cheap DFS option, but he didn't play overly well last season. Zach LaVine is likely the […]

We are officially on our second day of NBA DFS basketball and Thursday's three game slate has a lot to live up to. There are already plenty of names starting to emerge and unfortunately for the Miami Heat, they will be the only team on the second night of a back-to-back. A little cruel, but […]

Patrick Beverley Cannot Make A Shot From The Floor

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley had a night to forget as he shot 0-for-8 from the floor for zero points. Beverley managed to save his line by adding six assists, with four rebounds and one block with just a single turnover in 20 minutes. Beverley also struggled a bit with foul trouble in […]

Jamal Murray Struggles In Season Opener

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray could not get things going in his club's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. Murray managed to go 3-for-12 from the field for seven points with three assists, five rebounds, one steal with a make from deep in 32 minutes of action. Murray will get past this one quick […]

De'Aaron Fox Drops Seven Dimes In Home Loss

D.J. Augustin Scores 11 Points In Win

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin scored 11 points but did not add much else as his club beat the Miami Heat to open the season. Augustin shot 4-for-10 from the floor and added just two assists and a steal in 22 minutes. Augustin did not close this game out with Jerian Grant playing down […]

Bryn Forbes Fills Stat Sheet In Season Opener

San Antonio Spurs point guard Bryn Forbes scored 11 points with three rebounds, two assists and two steals in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was his first game as a fill-in starter and he did well. If Forbes is still on the waiver wire in your league, then go ahead and grab him.
