Ben Simmons has a Rough Night in Memphis

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons was a disappointment in Memphis. After a strong showing against the Bucks on Saturday, the rookie fell flat in this one. Simmons shot a poor 3-for-8 from the field to score just six points on Monday while adding three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in his 35 minutes. […]

Wayne Ellington Can't Find Shooting Stroke

Miami Heat shooting guard Wayne Ellington struggled with his shot, especially from three-point range, Monday night against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets used their speed and made Ellington, the man with the golden arm, a defensive priority all night, quickly switching on screens set for him. Ellington did finish with 13 points but was 3-for-11 […]

Dennis Schroder Plays Mediocre

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder had a very uninspiring game in the win over the Jazz. Schroder scored 20 points on 18 shots while adding one rebound, two assists, two turnovers and no blocks or steals. This surely was not a great game for Schroder, but his team still got the win. His two […]

Malcolm Delaney Provides Spark Off Bench

Atlanta Hawks point guard Malcolm Delaney had a good night off the bench in the Hawks victory over the Jazz. Delaney totaled 24 minutes, a few over his season average, and really made the best of them. He added a cool seven points on two three-pointers, two field goals and a free throw. What was […]

Juicy Matchup Ahead for Elfrid Payton

Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton has a gem of a matchup against the Sacramento Kings coming up on Tuesday. The Kings currently allow the most rebounds, the second most assists and the most steals to opposing guards. Payton has never been known to score the ball very well, shown by his career average of […]

Mario Chalmers Questionable on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. He sat out of Saturday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Grizzlies are sitting at 16 wins, so they don't need to rush Chalmers back to the court. Andrew Harrison should have plenty on his plate if Chalmers […]

John Wall Expected to Play Monday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (illness) is expected to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. He missed morning shootaround, but it sounds like Washington just decided to play it safe. He's coming off a double-double performance on Friday and is just feeling a little under the weather. He could be a risky option […]

Goran Dragic and Tyler Johnson Ruled Out

Miami Heat guards Goran Dragic (knee) and Tyler Johnson (ankle) have been ruled out of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Johnson continues to miss time with a sprained ankle and Dragic will be forced to the sidelines for the second straight game. Josh Richardson and James Johnson will handle the ball a bunch with […]

Jerryd Bayless Ruled Out Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This will be the second straight game that both Bayless and J.J. Redick (leg) are sidelined. Timothe Luwawu is expected to draw another start on Monday. T.J. McConnell will likely be flirting with minutes in the 30s and is […]

Devin Harris is Questionable on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (head) is listed as questionable to play against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Head coach Rick Carlisle hinted that Harris wasn't going to play and said he was at the doctor getting checked out. If Harris is ruled out, that means more playing time for guys like Dennis Smith Jr., […]

D'Angelo Russell Struggles Again In Second Game Back

Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell struggled again in his second game back from knee surgery. Russell was a little better on Sunday, making one shot from the field instead of zero, but he wasn’t much better otherwise. This is expected from Russell, as he is working his way back from a nine-week absence from […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Comes Up Clutch Sunday Night

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie showed his clutch trait on Sunday night by hitting a game-winning shot in the waning moments of the contest to lift the Nets to a 101-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The shot was the cap to another solid game for Dinwiddie in which he scored 22 points, dished […]

Dejounte Murray Posts a Solid Line in Surprise Start

Tony Parker Gets 12 Points Off the Bench

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker came off the bench for the first time since 2010 in Sunday's 94-86 loss to the Indiana Pacers. In total, it was just the 21st time in Parker's career that he had to settle for a bench role. He's been awful this month, so it looks like head […]

Jordan Clarkson Erupts For 29 Points

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson dismantled the Knicks defense on Sunday afternoon, as he propelled the Lakers to a 127-107 win with 29 points in 38 minutes of action. Clarkson shot an efficient 12 of 19 from the floor, chipping in six boards, three steals, and a season-high 10 dimes. He's fresh off dropping […]

Kyrie Irving Drops 40 Points In Loss

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving dropped 40 points on Sunday against the Orlando Magic for his first 40-point game since he had 47 back on Nov. 20. He was incredibly efficient from the field, going 14-for-23 and 5-for-7 from deep. He also grabbed seven boards, which would be his seventh game in a row […]

Kemba Walker Keeps On Chugging with 22 Points

Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker scored 22 points in a loss to Miami on Saturday. Walker went 10-for-25 with one three in the defeat. Walker's name being included in trade talks recently has not altered his game at all. He has consistently hovered around his season scoring average of 21 points while also averaging almost […]

Jeff Teague Continues To Struggle With Shot

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague could not find the mark again as he continued his post-injury struggles on Saturday. Teague only scored five points on a putrid 2-for-11 shooting. Even though he salvaged his stat line a bit with 10 assists, it is concerning how much he has struggled shooting the ball. In the […]

C.J. McCollum Puts On A Show Against The Mavericks

Portland Trailblazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum put on a dazzling dribbling display in a win over the Mavericks. He scored 26 points on 11-for-23 shooting and made two shots from three-point range. McCollum also added four rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Nobody on the Mavericks could guard McCollum, as he used his slick dribble […]

Donovan Mitchell Continues Hot-Shooting January

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell's skill set was on full display in a win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. The rookie sensation scored a team-high 23 points on an efficient 9-for-16 shooting, which included one make from deep. Mitchell also had seven assists, five rebounds and two steals to round out […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Plays Well Against Trail Blazers

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. put together a strong outing on Saturday against Portland, going 8-for-15 from the field and scoring 21 points. The rookie also had six rebounds and six assists. Smith has now scored 20 or more points in four of his past five outings, and his passing numbers continue to […]

Josh Richardson A Defensive Star Saturday

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson came up huge defensively in the win against the Charlotte Hornets Saturday night.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday had 13 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter to help the team put away the Memphis Grizzlies 111-104.

This was Curry's first game in which he struggled from the field while shooting below 30 percent since Nov. 25, so we can chalk this up as an off night. […]

Milos Teodosic Struggles Against the Jazz

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Milos Teodosic struggled all over the court against the Jazz on Saturday. Teodosic finished with only eight points on 3-for-11 from the field in addition to four assists, two rebounds and three turnovers. He has had four solid games since his return from injury, but owners should not worry, though, […]

Lou Williams Notches 30 points and 10 Steals

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams notched an incredible 30 points and 10 steals to become the first player to do this since Michael Jordan, who did it back in 1988. He didn't stop there, either, as he added seven assists and went a perfect 11-of-11 from the line. Williams is making a case for […]
