Jamal Murray Quiet In Win
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray struggled to get going in his club's win over the Perth Wildcats.

Dallas Mavericks forward/guard Luka Doncic scored 11 points in Friday's preseason loss to the 76ers, going 4-for-11 from the field, but the rookie was 0-for-4 from three-point range, adding to concerns that Doncic has needed to develop a more consistent outside shot.

Detroit Pistons point guard Ish Smith struggled to connect from the floor as he shot just 1-for-8 as his club fell by 24 points to the San Antonio Spurs.

Dennis Schroder Fills Stat Sheet In Friday's Win
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder put up 12 points with six assists and two rebounds in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

John Wall Does A Little Bit Of Everything Against Miami
Washington Wizards point guard John Wall contributed across the board in Friday night's preseason win over the Miami Heat. Wall posted nine points, nine assists, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 24 minutes.

Milos Teodosic, Luc Mbah a Moute Out on Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (hamstring) and forward Luc Mbah a Moute (calf) will not play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Both players are dealing with nagging injuries, so the Clippers will be cautious with them. Teodosic has upside, but injuries continue to haunt him. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has looked solid and […]
Lonzo Ball is Questionable for Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Ball has been out of game action since March, but was a full participant in practice this week. It'll be interesting to see how he's worked into the Lakers rotation this season. Regardless, Ball should be good […]

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn scored 10 points on 3-for-6 shooting against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe scored 16 points on 6-for-9 shooting in Wednesday’s preseason victory over the Chicago Bulls. Bledsoe also contributed ten rebounds and six assists, while going 3-for-6 from deep. The key for Bledsoe this season is just to stay healthy. If he can do that he could return to the Eric […]

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague scored six points -- all from the foul line -- in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Teague was held without a made field goal, missing all seven of his shot attempts while also grabbing four rebounds and dishing two assists. Teague will presumably play a big […]
Tyus Jones Effective Off Bench
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones scored 12 points on 4-for-9 shooting in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Clippers. Jones also grabbed a pair of rebounds and had two assists. With Derrick Rose in the starting lineup, it appears the battle of minutes as the first guard off the bench is between Jones and rookie […]
Elie Okobo Fails To Impress Against Breakers
Phoenix Suns guard Elie Okobo played 13 minutes on Wednesday night during the 91-86 win over the Breakers. The 31st overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft wasn't productive, however, scoring only two points on a pair of free throws. Nonetheless, the team is high on the 20-year-old, and though he likely won't start, he […]
Shaquille Harrison Blocks Four Shots
Phoenix Suns guard Shaquille Harrison scored 11 points on a miserable 3-for-10 shooting from the field against New Zealand on Wednesday night.

As […]

Michael Carter-Williams Scores 19 Points
Houston Rockets point guard Michael Carter-Williams became very familiar with the free throw line in Houston's preseason victory over the Grizzlies, going 9-for-11 from the line and 5-for-6 from the field for 19 points. He added three rebounds and a pair of assists as well. Carter-Williams starts this season as Houston's fourth guard, but it's […]

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul opened the preseason with a strong performance, putting up 22 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio poured in 15 points as his club notched a 15-point win over the Toronto Raptors. Rubio was able to add two rebounds, a steal and a solid 3-for-6 from downtown but added just a single assist to his line. Rubio is not the fantasy stud he once was not […]
