Luguentz Dort, Theo Maledon Cleared For Thursday’s Game
Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard/small forward Luguentz Dort (toe) and point/shooting guard Theo Maledon (thumb) have both been given the thumbs up to get back into action Thursday against Atlanta. Dort had missed OKC's two most recent contests, while Maledon was questionable despite logging 32 minutes Tuesday. The duo stand to reclaim their own sizable […]
Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier Set To Play Thursday
Orlando Magic point guard/power forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (groin) have been cleared to take the floor for Thursday's game against the Knicks. Gordon will draw the start, but also serve as the team's backup PG behind Chasson Randle with the rest of the team's primary ball-handling options unavailable. Fournier […]
Kawhi Leonard Settles For 20 Points Wednesday Night
Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard had a rough shooting night and managed only 20 points in Wednesday's loss to Dallas. He shot 9-for-21 from the field and hit just once with four attempts from downtown. Leonard finished things off with seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. The wheels have come off for […]
Paul George Leads Clippers With 28 Points
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George scored a team-high 28 points in Wednesday's loss to Dallas, going 10-for-20 from the field and 5-for-8 from downtown. His line also included seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, and four turnovers in 41 minutes. PG13 is having a bit of a rough spell at the moment, […]
Michael Porter Jr. Records Game-High 28 Points
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. continued in fine form on Wednesday, scoring a game-high 26 points in just 29 minutes in a big win over Charlotte. He missed only six of 17 shots and went 3-for-6 with the three-ball, adding 13 rebounds and one assist. Porter Jr. has now produced five consecutive 20-point outings, […]
Jimmy Butler Scores Game-High 24 Points
Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler recorded a game-high 24 points in Wednesday's loss to Memphis, shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 2-for-6 from downtown. Butler, who has struggled from deep this season, hadn't made a single triple in three games. He added seven rebounds to his line with two assists and one block. Butler […]
Saddiq Bey Drops 28 Points With Six Treys
Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey erupted offensively in Wednesday's 116-112 win over the Raptors. Bey scored a team-high 28 points with 12 boards, six triples, two assists, and two steals, bouncing back after a few lackluster performances offensively. The 21-year-old impressively made all six free throws and didn't commit a single turnover in 39 minutes. […]
Joe Harris Drains Five Threes In Wednesday's Win
Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Harris got his groove back from beyond the arc on Wednesday night after a few shaky efforts. Harris drained 5 of 7 attempts from deep for 15 of his 19 points, adding four rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 37 minutes. His 71.4 percent shooting from three is his second-highest […]
Darius Bazley Out Again Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (shoulder) will not play Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks. Bazley has missed the past few games with a nagging shoulder injury, but there have not been many details surrounding how he suffered the injury. Regardless, Bazley's absence has lead to Aleksej Pokusevski entering the starting lineup. "Poku" has been […]
Jimmy Butler Good To Go Against Memphis
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will play and start Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Butler turned his ankle in the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday and was questionable coming into the contest. Despite this, Butler will resume his regular starting role on Wednesday and will likely not have any restrictions. If […]
Ben McLemore Remains Sidelined With Ankle Injury
Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore (ankle) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. McLemore missed the first leg of the back-to-back as well and Kevin Porter Jr. was given a ton of minutes. With Victor Oladipo (rest) out as well, Porter should see huge usage in the backcourt Wednesday. The good news […]
Dorian Finney-Smith Not With The Team Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) will not play Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Finney-Smith is away with the team due to the birth of his child earlier in the day and was doubtful coming into the contest. Tim Hardaway Jr. figures to see the spot start and get more run than usual […]
Jarrett Culver Earns Doubtful Tag For Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Jarrett Culver (toe) has been listed as doubtful to suit up for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a strained toe. Head coach Chris Finch has been "hopeful" to get Culver back for the back-to-back matchup against the Suns, which could indicate that Culver may be around Friday. Culver […]
Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, Terrence Ross Questionable
Three key Orlando Magic players have picked up questionable designations for Thursday's contest against the Knicks. Point guard/power forward Aaron Gordon (ankle, rest) and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (groin) were both able to practice Wednesday, while shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross (knee) has also been deemed questionable. With the roster completely in flux, Nikola […]
Phoenix Lands Torrey Craig In Trade
Shooting guard/small forward Torrey Craig has been dealt to the Phoenix Suns, adding to the team's depth on the wing. Craig inked a deal with Milwaukee during the off-season, but he was a limited fit for the team's second unit, not scoring in double figures in any of his 18 appearances (in which he averaged […]
Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Have Minutes Restrictions
Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) will be back in action on Wednesday against the Warriors. Both players will be on minutes restrictions, though head coach Stephen Silas didn't specify any further. Still, it's great news for fantasy managers, particularly those who have Wood on their rosters, as he […]
Danuel House Jr., Ben McLemore Questionable For Wednesday
Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) and guard Ben McLemore (ankle) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. House has missed five straight games, so another absence wouldn't be shocking. Jae'sean Tate and Kevin Porter Jr. would benefit the most, assuming House is out again. McLemore missed Tuesday's game, […]
Jimmy Butler Could Miss Wednesday's Contest
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Heat are already shorthanded, so losing Butler would be a significant hit to their rotation. Honestly, knowing Butler, he'll play through the pain if he can, but we'll see what happens. Tyler Herro, KZ Okpala, and Max […]
Dorian Finney-Smith Doubtful For Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavs would likely ask Tim Hardaway Jr. to soak up a majority of the minutes if Finney-Smith cannot play. Hardaway has played well when he is in the starting five, so DFS players should take note […]
Meyers Leonard Traded To Thunder
Miami Heat forward Meyers Leonard has reportedly been traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Miami will send Leonard and a 2027 second-round pick to OKC in exchange for veteran forward Trevor Ariza. This trade likely won't benefit either player in terms of fantasy value. Ariza hasn't played in a year and will have to compete […]
LeBron James Produces Second Straight Triple-Double
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James posted his second straight triple-double and the 99th of his career in Tuesday's win over Minnesota. James dropped 25 points with 12 rebounds, 12 assists, four triples and a block in 31 minutes. The 36-year-old became the oldest player in NBA history to compile back-to-back triple-doubles, and he impressively […]
Tobias Harris Guides Sixers To Victory Versus New York
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris scored seven of the team's last eight points in Tuesday's 99-96 victory over the Knicks, finishing with a game-high 30 points on 11-for-20 shooting. He went 4-for-6 from outside and completed his line with six rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one steal. Harris also impressed by having zero turnovers […]
Jimmy Butler Collects 28 Points In Tuesday's Win
Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler led all scorers with 28 points in Tuesday's 113-98 victory over Cleveland, shooting 11-for-16 from the field and 6-for-6 at the foul line. He added 12 rebounds to register a nice double-double, while also picking up four assists and two steals with three turnovers in 32 minutes. Butler has […]
Jayson Tatum Goes For 29 Points
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum racked up 29 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Jazz. Tatum has scored at least 23 points in all three games since the All-Star break and is averaging a solid 25.1 points per game this season. As one of the […]
Semi Ojeleye Starting On Tuesday
Boston Celtics forward Semi Ojeleye will get the start with Tristan Thompson out Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. Ojeleye as a starter this season is averaging 10.2 points on 45.7 percent shooting and 4.5 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game. Ojeleye has also knocked down 2.6 threes on 44.4 percent shooting as a starter. Ojeleye is […]
Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out Tuesday
Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Hawks. Wood has missed the last six weeks with an ankle sprain- but head coach Stephen Silas didn't rule out the possibility of the star center making his return on Wednesday. House could also […]
LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris Probable Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers forwards LeBron James (ankle), Kyle Kuzma (heel), and Markieff Morris (knee) are probable to suit up against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. James' fantasy managers have nothing to worry about, as he has routinely been listed on the injury report and almost consistently suits up every night. Morris is off the fantasy radar, […]
De'Andre Hunter Could Return On Thursday
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) could play as early as Thursday, according to Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk. He is making fantastic progress from his right knee meniscus surgery. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if Hunter is still available. He should easily get around 25 minutes per game, and that […]
Jerami Grant Stays Quiet On Monday
Detroit Pistons small forward Jerami Grant had very little success against the Spurs on Monday, finishing a 109-99 loss with 14 points. He shot a decent 4-for-9 from the field but had a horrible night at the foul line with a 5-for-10 effort. Grant's line included one steal and one block but not much else. […]
LeBron James Puts Up Triple-Double In Monday's Win
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James enjoyed a triple-double outing against Golden State on Monday, finishing a 128-97 win with 22 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. He had six turnovers in 30 minutes, but it was still an efficient performance with 8-for-13 shooting from the field and a 2-for-4 effort from downtown. LeBron now […]
