Schroder added three rebounds, five assists and two steals in the blowout loss.

Memphis Grizzlies guards Mario Chalmers (shoulder), Andrew Harrison (shoulder) and Ben McLemore (knee) have all been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Chandler Parsons (illness, knee) and James Ennis (calf) have already been ruled out for this contest. It's looking like Memphis is going to be short-handed for this game. Tyreke […]
Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (personal) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has already been ruled out, but now Milwaukee is even weaker with the loss of Brogdon. Khris Middleton will see plenty of playing time without Brogdon. Sean Kilpatrick and Sterling Brown will see extra playing time as […]
Tyler Johnson Out on Saturday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He left Monday's game with a sprained ankle and has missed each of the last two contests. He visited a specialist on Thursday that confirmed the original diagnosis. It appears to be just a sprained left ankle, so […]
Donovan Mitchell Cools Off Against The Knicks
Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell struggled with his shot in a loss to the New York Knicks Friday night. He scored 17 points but only shot 7-for-21 from the field.

Dennis Schroder Should Get Plenty of Looks Saturday
Atlanta Hawk point guard Dennis Schroder gets a decent matchup Saturday against Chicago point guard Jerian Grant. After Kris Dunn ate the hardwood, backup point guard Grant will move into the starting lineup. Grant has not graded well defensively this season, and we expect Schroder to capitalize on this. The Bulls have been the third worst […]
Goran Dragic Is Mediocre in Loss
Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic didn't have a great night against the Nets. He fell short of his season averages for points, rebounds, assists and steals. He had 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, one block and no steals or three-pointers. This was quite disappointing considering the Nets play fast-paced, which creates more opportunities […]
Kris Dunn Won’t Play in Atlanta
Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (concussion) will not play against the Hawks on Saturday. Dunn took a nasty spill during the team’s matchup against Golden State and will likely miss the team’s entire three-game road trip while in the league’s concussion protocol. With guard Zach LaVine still facing a minutes restriction, guard Jerian Grant will […]
Rajon Rondo Is Slumping

Parker made 53.2 […]
D'Angelo Russell 0-For-5 in Return for Nets
Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell struggled mightily in his return from a knee injury he suffered back in November. Limited to just 14 minutes of playing time, Russell was 0-for-5 from the field and looked rusty throughout. Obviously better days are ahead for the talented combo guard from Ohio State University, but Friday went worse […]

Jamal Murray Questionable Against Suns
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (concussion) is questionable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. He's likely headed towards a game-time decision on Friday, but it depends on if he can clear the concussion protocol. He missed Wednesday's game with the Clippers after suffering a blow to the head in Tuesday's contest. If Murray […]
Derrick Jones Expected to Start on Friday
Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones is expected to start on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out, and Jones received the start for him on Wednesday.

He's likely going to be […]
Avery Bradley is 50/50 on Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley (groin) has a "50/50" chance of playing against the Washington Wizards on Friday, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. He reportedly headed back to Philadelphia after Wednesday's game to see a specialist about treatment for his groin issue. Reggie Bullock (illness), Luke Kennard (thumb), and Stanley Johnson (hip) are […]
Chris Paul Has Strong Outing Against Minnesota
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul was a key part of his team's Thursday night win over Minnesota, scoring 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting.

Ben Simmons Quiet on Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons failed to hit double digits in any category in the win against the Celtics on Thursday.

D'Angelo Russell Listed As Probable Friday
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been sidelined since mid-November following knee surgery and is tentatively expected to return Friday night against the Miami Heat. Russell will most likely have a minutes restriction due to the lengthy injury, but his return will bump Spencer Dinwiddie back to the bench. Coach Kenny Atkinson has […]
