Devin Booker Provides 27 Points But Not Much Else

Phoenix Sun guard Devin Booker put up 27 points in a 128-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Booker did not add much else while putting up four assists, one rebound and two makes from deep on a not so efficient seven of 20 from the floor. With Elfrid Payton in town, we can expect […]

Russell Westbrook Nails Game-Winning Three Against The Kings

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had ice in his veins against the Sacramento Kings, dropping the game-winning three-pointer.

Goran Dragic's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic isn't having his best season and more specifically, his numbers are down from last season in points, assists and steals per game, as well as field-goal percentage.
