Terry Rozier Just Misses Triple-Double
Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier put up a strong stat line in Sunday's loss to the Hawks, finishing with 10 points on 4-for-9 shooting to go along with nine assists and eight rebounds. With injuries sapping their back court, Rozier has been an important piece for the Celtics, though he came into Sunday with back-to-back […]
Kemba Walker Remains Quiet On Sunday
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker continued his shockingly poor end-of-season run on Sunday, getting only 12 points in 25 minutes against Indiana. Kemba has now failed to reach 20 points in five straight games, averaging a measly 10.2 points on 35.6 percent shooting. He finished 4-for-9 against the Pacers, dropping nothing but bricks from […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Finishes Sunday's Loss With a Double-Double
Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. didn't let a knee problem bother him on Sunday, as he finished a 109-97 loss to Philadelphia with his fifth career double-double, matching a career-high with 11 assists and scoring 20 points on 9-for-19 shooting. Smith Jr. played 40 minutes, so it doesn't seem like the knee injury, […]
Ben Simmons Puts On Another Show Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons did everything once again on Sunday, posting his second straight game with four steals, scoring 16 points and adding nine assists, seven rebounds, and one block. All that in just 31 minutes in a 109-97 win over Dallas. Simmons shot 7-for-10 from the field and 2-for-6 from the line. […]
Devin Booker Not Expected to Play Sunday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) is not expected to play against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. He's been sidelined 10 straight games and is likely done for the rest of the season. The Suns have just one more game after Sunday and it would be surprising for the Suns to clear Booker by […]
Elfrid Payton Expected to Miss Sunday's Game
Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton (knee) is not expected to play against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. He continues to deal with knee tendinitis and is likely done for the season. The Suns gave up a second-round pick for Payton, but they've likely seen all they've wanted to. Tyler Ulis is expected to […]
Lonzo Ball Upgraded to Questionable on Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Ball has missed five straight games, but he was able to go through some drills on Saturday. That is likely why the team upgraded him to "questionable" for Sunday's contest. However, the final decision will be made during […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Remains Questionable on Sunday
Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Sunday's const against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Rick Carlisle said Smith was fresh, but the Mavs are tanking for draft positioning. He played 31 minutes on Friday, going 2 of 12 from the floor against the Pistons. The Mavs have just two games […]
D'Angelo Russell Has Productive Night Against Bulls
Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell scored 12 points on 4-for-10 shooting in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls. Russell also added five assists, four rebounds, and a block. Russell has been uneven this season as a scorer -- he was scoring totals in April of 13, 6, 22, and 12 -- but he's been improving […]
C.J. McCollum Stays Quiet In Saturday's Loss
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum is finishing the regular season with a cold spell, as he's failed to score 20 points in three consecutive games. He had 17 in Saturday's 116-105 loss to the Spurs, shooting 7-for-19 from the field and missing all three attempts from downtown. McCollum has also struggled against Denver this […]
Damian Lillard Scores 33 Points In Losing Effort
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (ankle) returned to action with a really solid performance after missing one game, scoring 33 points against the Spurs on Saturday. He shot 11-for-22 from the floor, finishing with six triples. However, he disappointed with seven turnovers and just five assists. Lillard has been scoring well this month, […]
Dejounte Murray Continues Good Scoring Streak
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray had a second consecutive good shooting night on Saturday, making five of his nine shots on his way to 17 points in a 116-105 win over Portland.

Eric Bledsoe Scores 22 Points In Win Versus Knicks
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe scored 22 points with 10 assists and three rebounds in a win over the New York Knicks on the road. He combined with Jabari Parker and stepped up without Milwaukee's star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo. With the Bucks still jockeying for playoff position, they will manage their minutes wisely. It's […]
Jarrett Jack Has Solid Stat Line Versus Bucks
New York Knicks point guard Jarrett Jack scored 18 points with five rebounds and seven assists off the bench versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He suddenly entered the rotation again and he produced. With the Knicks essentially playing for better odds in the lottery, Jack will not be a reliable option, as the Knicks will roll […]
Quinn Cook Gets 21 Points
Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook played another excellent game for his squad pouring in 21 points in a six point loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Cook made 8-of-14 shots from the floor and knocked down five of his seven makes from behind the arc, while chipping in seven assists and snagging three rebounds. […]

Rajon Rondo Dishes Out 17 Assists
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo distributed a game-high 17 assists in a 126-120 win over the Golden State Warriors.

Russell Westbrook Puts Up Solid Stats
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had a good but slightly inefficient game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Westbrook scored 24 points shooting 10-for-28 from the floor.

Austin Rivers Gets Close To Double-Double In Saturday's Loss
Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers narrowly missed a double-double in Saturday's 134-115 loss to Denver, finishing with 10 points and nine assists in 39 minutes on the floor. Rivers had a tough day from the field, shooting just 4-for-11, so he focused more on playmaking and he did it well, posting a new season-high […]
Lou Williams Paces Clippers On Saturday With 24 Points
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams recorded his fourth game with 20-plus points in last five outings on Saturday, finishing with 24 points against the Nuggets in 31 minutes, shooting a pretty poor 6-for-15 from the floor, but putting in some serious work on the free throw line, nailing 10 of 12 attempts. Williams also […]
Jamal Murray Shoots Really Well In Saturday's Win
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray missed only two of his 10 shots in Saturday's win over the Clippers, finishing with 19 points. He also dished out seven assists in 40 minutes, committing only one turnover. Murray is a streaky shooter, but he seems to be on a roll right now with back to back games […]
Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Sixers
Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Rick Carlisle said Smith was fresh, but the Mavs are tanking for draft positioning. He played 31 minutes on Friday and went 2 of 12 from the floor against Detroit. The Mavs only have two games […]
Ricky Rubio is Questionable for Sunday
Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played just eight minutes in the victory over the Clippers on Thursday. Rubio's hamstring has been bothering him since last month, so we could see the Jazz rest him. Royce O'Neale would likely join the starting lineup […]
Emmanuel Mudiay Likely Done For The Season
New York Knicks point guard Emmanuel Mudiay (concussion) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Mudiay has been diagnosed with a concussion after he left Friday's game after hitting his head on the floor. His season could be over since the Knicks only have a couple of games left. Jarrett Jack […]
Malcolm Brogdon is Doubtful on Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is doubtful to play in Saturday's game against the New York Knicks, according to head coach Joe Prunty. Brogdon has not played since February 1st and is likely headed towards a game-time decision. He has not played in quite some time, so it would not be surprising to see […]
Jrue Holiday With Great All-Around Game
New Orleans Pelicans point guard/shooting guard Jrue Holiday did a little bit of everything in a win over the Phoenix Suns that presently lands his squad in fifth spot in the Western Conference. Holiday collected 22 points on an efficient 8-of-15 from the field and a impressive 4-of-6 from behind the arc. Holiday also threw […]
Jerian Grant Scores 15 Off The Bench Versus Celtics
Chicago Bulls point guard Jerian Grant scored 15 points with eight assists and five steals in a loss to the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden. With Zach Lavine, Denzel Valentine, Noah Vonleh and Kris Dunn all out for this game, Grant got extended run off the bench and those steals will certainly make the […]
Jeff Teague Leads Timberwolves With 25 Points
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague deserved the game ball for his squad after coming up big in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Teague played brilliantly scoring a game-high 25 points on an efficient 9-of-16, while making 2-of-5 from deep, to go along with a perfect 5-of-5 makes from the charity stripe. Teague […]
Trey Burke Scores 17 Points in Big Win
