Khris Middleton Has Season-High 34 Points Monday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton had his most prolific night of the season Monday against Detroit, racking up 34 points on 13-for-23 shooting in a 126-117 win. There was no Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) or Jrue Holiday (personal) on Monday, so the offense revolved around Middleton, and he showed his class throughout the game, although his […]
Gordon Hayward Unlikely To Play Against OKC
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (thumb) isn't expected to play in Tuesday's game against OKC. This isn't good news for Charlotte, especially considering Terry Rozier (foot) is out and Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is questionable. Assuming the sprained thumb keeps Hayward out of the lineup, Oubre would benefit on the scoring end. However, if he doesn't […]
Kyle Kuzma Remains Out Versus Boston
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against Boston, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The Wizards have some tough matchups on the horizon, so making the postseason may not be in the cards for Washington. As a result, fantasy managers may not see Kuzma on the floor for the remainder of the […]
Mikal Bridges Goes Off For 44 Points Sunday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Mikal Bridges had a special outing with 44 points on Sunday against Orlando, finishing a 119-106 loss with 13-for-22 shooting. He hit six of nine attempts from deep and also padded his scoring total with a 12-for-12 effort at the line. Across 34 minutes of game action, Bridges added six rebounds, one […]
Jaylen Brown Fires In 41 Points Against San Antonio
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown had one of his best scoring nights of the season Sunday versus the Spurs, completing a blowout win with a game-high 41 points. He could make only two triples with 10 attempts but shot a very good 18-for-29 overall from the field to reach his second-highest scoring output of the […]
DeMar DeRozan Returns With A Double-Double
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan returned to action with a double-double Sunday versus the Lakers, finishing a 118-108 victory with 17 points and 10 assists. The veteran star hit a pair of decisive triples early in the fourth quarter and finished with 7-for-13 shooting overall. After sitting out one game with a right quadriceps strain, […]
Kawhi Leonard Probable On Monday Evening
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (face) is expected to play against the Bulls. The 31-year-old took an accidental hit to the face in Saturday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans, ending his night after 27 minutes. Nonetheless, if Leonard can't give it a go, Russell Westbrook will see a surge in fantasy popularity. At […]
Lauri Markkanen Questionable For Monday
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) is questionable ahead of Monday's matchup against the Suns. If he doesn't suit up, it will be his third consecutive absence because of a hand contusion. If that happens, Simone Fontecchio should continue to start. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.3 points in four starts this season, so he has […]
Michael Porter Jr. Could Sit Monday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Porter is dealing with some discomfort in his heel which may force him to sit Monday. If Porter is ultimately ruled out, Bruce Brown and Jeff Green would be next in line for increased minutes.
Franz Wagner Will Suit Up Against Brooklyn
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will play on Sunday against Brooklyn. The 21-year-old tweaked his ankle in Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. However, he's good to go. Considering the Magic are barely in the postseason conversation, Wagner is likely 100%, or else he wouldn't be playing, meaning he should see his usual […]
Brandon Ingram Dishes Out Career-High 13 Assists
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram had his third consecutive 30-point game and dished out a career-high 13 assists as the team cruised to a 131-110 victory against the Clippers Saturday night. He also tallied four rebounds while shooting 12-for-22 from the field and 3-for-5 from outside. Ingram's work this week even includes a triple-double […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Has 31 Points Against Denver
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo produced 31 points in Saturday's big matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, shooting 13-for-22 from the field with a 5-for-7 mark at the line. He added nine rebounds, four assists and four steals, but the Greek Freak's efforts weren't enough, as the Bucks struggled with shooting all game and […]
Jordan Nwora Has A Historic Outing For Pacers Saturday
Indiana Pacers forward Jordan Nwora was unconscious in the second quarter against Atlanta on Saturday, setting a new franchise record for a regular season game with 25 points. He finished a 143-130 loss with 33 points in total, missing his career-high by one point. Nwora hit 12-for-17 from the field, including 4-for-7 from three-point range, […]
Kawhi Leonard Exits With A Facial Injury
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard was forced to make an early exit Saturday against the Pelicans after taking an elbow to the face. He struggled all game and couldn't carry on in the third quarter following an incident involving Brandon Ingram. Leonard finished with 4-for-16 shooting and had 12 points with six rebounds, four […]
Chris Duarte Won't Return On Saturday
Indiana Pacers forward Chris Duarte (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He only managed to play five minutes before exiting the game due to left ankle soreness. This could very well be an issue that sidelines Duarte longer than just this game. That being said, Jordan […]
Khris Middleton Available On Saturday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Middleton was held out of Friday's game for rest purposes. Now, the 31-year-old is expected to resume his normal role in the rotation on Saturday. His return will mean that Pat Connaughton will return […]
De'Andre Hunter Sitting Out Against Indiana
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) won't play against Indiana. He has a left knee contusion, and it's apparently severe enough to keep him off the floor on Saturday night. Nevertheless, Saddiq Bey is the favorite to take Hunter's spot in the rotation, although AJ Griffin should see enough work to jeopardize his fantasy potential. […]
Lauri Markkanen To Miss Another Game On Saturday
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) won't play on Saturday against Sacramento. Markkanen has a hand contusion, an injury that also held him out of Friday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Considering Utah is a long shot at making the postseason, the team will likely remain cautious with the big man for the remainder of […]
Zach LaVine Scores 33 Points With Six Triples
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine was an outstanding 6-for-9 from downtown and scored a game-high 33 points in Friday's 124-96 victory over Portland. He finished with 12-for-20 shooting overall, capping off his line with four rebounds, eight assists and one block. The 28-year-old benefited from DeMar DeRozan's (quadriceps) absence on Friday, but LaVine has been […]
Luke Kennard Hits 10 Treys Off The Bench
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard had a spectacular game against Houston on Friday, setting a new franchise record with 10 made three-pointers. He became the second player in league history to amass 30 points in a game with only makes from downtown, shooting 10-for-11. Kennard's line in a huge 151-114 blowout win also included three […]
Keldon Johnson Bags A 30-Point Double-Double
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson returned from a two-game absence Friday against Washington with 30 points and 10 rebounds. He filled up the box score with 11-for-17 shooting, hitting three times from deep and adding four assists. The 23-year-old now boasts four double-doubles for the season and half of them have come in his […]
Jayson Tatum Pours In 34 Points Against Indiana
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a great night against Indiana on Friday, scoring a game-high 34 points on 13-for-24 shooting in a 120-95 win. He was 3-for-9 from outside and bagged seven rebounds with two assists and two steals across 32 minutes. Tatum closed last week with a poor effort against Utah, but he's […]
Trey Murphy III Questionable On Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III (toe) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Clippers. The 22-year-old scored 19 points in 33 minutes versus the Hornets on Wednesday night. However, he's now dealing with left great toe inflammation, so he may not be available for this one. If that's the case, Josh Richardson could […]
De'Andre Hunter Questionable Versus Indiana
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. With Trae Young (calf) also questionable, Hunter could see extra scoring chances on Saturday. However, if he can't suit up, Saddiq Bey or AJ Griffin would likely slide into the starting lineup, although both are risky fantasy options, regardless […]
Nassir Little Considered Probable For Friday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (concussion) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was held out of Wednesday's game, but it appears he has cleared concussion protocol. There should be minutes available with Damian Lillard (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (knee) both uncertain to play. Little hasn't done a ton […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Uncertain For Friday
Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Oubre was forced to exit early on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. He didn't return to the game and it appears the left shoulder issue is still bothering him. His absence would mean increased minutes for Gordon […]
DeMar DeRozan To Miss Friday's Game
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran forward is still dealing with an injury after exiting Wednesday's game due to a quad strain. It appears he'll miss at least one game because of this injury, but hopefully he'll be back soon. The […]
Kawhi Leonard Drops 32 Points In Win
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard put on a show during Thursday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward is going to be asked to take on a bigger role with Paul George (knee) sidelined for the next few weeks. Leonard looked great on Thursday as he only missed two shots from the […]
Khris MIddleton Won't Play On Friday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He wasn't originally on the injury report, but the team has decided to give him a rest day for his right knee injury. Pat Connaughton figures to gain the most fantasy value with Middleton on the sideline. Connaughton […]
Franz Wagner Won't Return On Thursday
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The young forward suffered a sprained left ankle during the third quarter. Wagner was taken to the locker room with help from the team trainers. Cole Anthony and Caleb Houstan should both see additional […]
