He shot 5-for-13 from the field and went 2-for-6 with the three-ball. LeBron has posted multiple triple-doubles and 30-point games this month, and he […]

Jayson Tatum Has A 27-Point Night Against Warriors

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum shot 9-for-19 from the field during a 27-point performance in Friday's loss to Golden State. He hit three triples with 10 attempts and finished 6-for-6 at the line while gathering eight rebounds and six assists with one steal and one turnover in 42 minutes. Tatum has had the hot hand […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores 27 Points In Friday's Win

Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins had a nice outing against Boston on Friday, shooting 11-for-20 from the field and 5-for-7 from downtown to finish a 111-107 victory with 27 points. He added six rebounds and two assists to his tally with one steal and one block in 36 minutes. Wiggins heated up here, […]

Corey Kispert Questionable To Suit Up Saturday

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Corey Kispert (quad) has been listed as questionable to play in Saturday's contest vs. Utah due to a left quad contusion. Kispert has played a limited role off the bench in his rookie year, contributing 3.9 points across 13.1 minutes per game. The 15th overall pick in the 2021 NBA […]

Kent Bazemore Returns To Starting Five Friday

Los Angeles Lakers small forward Kent Bazemore has been bumped into the starting group for Friday's contest against Minnesota. Bazemore will be making his first start since Nov. 12, having since played sparingly off the bench. Even during his stint as a starter to begin the year, Bazemore scored in double figures just twice, severely […]

Lonnie Walker IV Will Suit Up For Friday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's contest against the Jazz. Walker's absence lasted just one game, with his return giving the Spurs a key piece of their second unit back. The combination of having averaged just 21.7 minutes per outing across seven December contests […]

Khris Middleton Will Miss Friday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (knee) has been downgraded to out for Friday's contest against the Pelicans due to a left knee hyperextension. Milwaukee's roster was already extremely thin entering the night due a combination of injury and the league's health and safety protocols, with Pat Connaughton and Rodney Hood the likeliest to benefit […]

Terrence Ross, R.J. Hampton Land In Safety Protocols, Out Friday

Orlando Magic small forward Terrence Ross and point/shooting guard R.J. Hampton have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols and will miss at least Friday night's game. Their absence has left the Magic backcourt extremely thin with Cole Anthony (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (thumb) sidelined; Gary Harris and Mychal Mulder are the only […]

Kevin Durant Listed As Out For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. The All-Star forward has been carrying this team on his back lately. The COVID protocols have made the Nets extremely shorthanded. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about Durant. This is likely more of a rest day than […]

Juancho Hernangomez Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Boston Celtics forward Juancho Hernangomez has entered the league's COVID-19 safety protocols and is out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. That being said, Robert Williams III and Enes Freedom are going to see heavy minutes in this game. Both Al Horford and Grant Williams are out as well due to the protocols. […]

Evan Fournier Heats Up Again Thursday Night

New York Knicks guard/forward Evan Fournier had a good bounce-back performance against the Rockets on Thursday, going for 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting in a 116-103 win. He hit half of his six attempts from deep and shot 4-for-7 at the line while gathering three assists with two turnovers and one rebound. Fournier scored almost […]

Isaac Okoro Enters COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro has entered the league's health and safety protocols. The Cavs are already shorthanded and will likely be without Okoro for possibly a week or two. It's a shame because Okoro was playing his best basketball of the season right now. Cedi Osman and Denzel Valentine will be asked to step […]

Thanasis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered the injury on Wednesday, but played 21 minutes in that contest. He doesn't offer a ton of value, but stood to gain more value with Bobby Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined due to protocols. Now, […]

Tony Snell Won't Play Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Tony Snell (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the second game in a row that Snell has missed due to personal reasons. He has been playing more lately, but it hasn't resulted in consistent fantasy value. Also, the return of Nassir Little has […]

Jimmy Butler Out, Tyler Herro Questionable Friday Against Magic

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) is out, but guard Tyler Herro (quad) is questionable to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Butler will miss his fifth-straight game with a bruised tailbone as he continues to rehab back in Miami. Herro got banged up Monday against the Cavs and sat out Wednesday against the Sixers, […]

Torrey Craig Will Play Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers forward Torrey Craig (illness) will play Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Craig was questionable coming into Thursday and missed Wednesday's contest with the illness. Craig is back in the lineup, but he's been out of the rotation for a few games and does not hold any fantasy value. Craig is, however, someone to […]

Kevin Knox II Enters Safety Protocols

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox II has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This is a shame considering Knox was playing well over his last two games. It seemed like Knox was finally building some momentum in New York. Now, the Knicks will have to rely on Mitchell Robinson and Nerlens Noel more […]

Khris Middleton Could Return On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) could return as early as Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is quite surprising as it was assumed Middleton would miss a few more games. It's unclear if the Bucks have any plans to limit Middleton once he returns. Jrue Holiday, Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen would take […]

OG Anunoby Practices On Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (hip) was able to practice on Thursday. He is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is a nice surprise with Precious Achiuwa (protocols) ruled out and Khem Birch (knee) listed as questionable. Anunoby's return would likely decrease the role of Chris Boucher. It's […]

Furkan Korkmaz Remains Out On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (illness) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He remains sidelined with a non-COVID related illness. Danny Green, Shake Milton and Matisse Thybulle are all candidates to see more minutes. Thybulle is the best option of the three, but remains a deep league choice at best.

Anthony Edwards Nails 10 Triples During A 38-Point Effort

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had a crazy night from downtown in Wednesday's win over Denver, going 10-for-14 with the three-ball to finish with a game-high 38 points. He shot 14-for-21 overall from the field and recorded five rebounds and one assist with one steal, one block and two turnovers in 34 minutes. Edwards had […]

Keldon Johnson Notches 21 Points Against Charlotte

San Antonio Spurs small forward Keldon Johnson had his best offensive performance in a month on Wednesday, notching 21 points on 9-for-16 shooting in a losing effort against the Hornets. He sank three shots from deep with seven attempts and finished off his line with three rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes. Johnson is […]

Cody Martin Scores Career-High 21 Points In Wednesday's Win

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin contributed a career-high 21 points in Wednesday's 131-115 win over San Antonio, shooting 8-for-13 from the field with a perfect 4-for-4 mark from deep. He also notched eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 40 minutes. Martin has been a nice addition to the starting unit lately, helping out […]

Gordon Hayward Has A Red-Hot Night Against Spurs

Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward had an amazing performance against the Spurs on Wednesday, scoring a season-high 41 points in just 29 minutes. He heated up in a hurry and ended up shooting 15-for-19 from the field and 5-for-6 from downtown. Hayward also found some time to rack up five rebounds and three assists. […]

Brandon Ingram Stays Hot With A 34-Point Effort

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram kept the points flowing in Wednesday's 113-110 win over Oklahoma City, leading all scorers with 34 points on 11-for-21 shooting. He was very busy at the line with an 11-for-15 record and nailed one attempt from deep with two efforts. Ingram tallied fours assists on the offensive end […]

Jordan Nwora Finishes First Start With 15 Points, Six Rebounds

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Jordan Nwora had an opportunity to make his first start of the season on Wednesday against the Pacers, and he produced a solid performance in 27 minutes with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block. The 23-year-old shot 7-for-15 from the field and hit one effort from […]

Tobias Harris Gets Going Again With 24 Points

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris found his scoring touch again against Miami on Wednesday, recording 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting in a 101-96 loss. He was 3-for-7 with the three-ball and 3-for-4 at the foul line, adding five rebounds and four assists to his tally with three turnovers. Harris' points average has dropped to 18.9 […]

Kyle Kuzma Will Play Against Sacramento

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma will play Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Kuzma missed two games while in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but has been cleared to come back to game action. Deni Avdija will likely move back to the bench with Kuzma returning. Kuzma's conditioning may play a factor Wednesday, but […]

Davion Mitchell To Get First Career Start

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell is set to make his first career NBA start Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. With Terence Davis (protocols) and Marvin Bagley III (protocols) in the league's protocols and Richaun Holmes (eye) out, the Kings have elected to have Chimezie Metu off the bench to match Montrezl Harrell and run […]

Nicolas Batum And Paul George Remain Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers wings Nicolas Batum (ankle) and Paul George (elbow) will continue to sit Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Batum and George were questionable yet again, but continue to sit with their respective ailments. Terance Mann and Luke Kennard should continue to start and be viable streamers while Batum and George remain out. Isaiah […]
