Jimmy Butler Back In The Starting Five
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is back in the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has been practicing over the weekend and it doesn't sound like the foot is an issue for him anymore. Although, he did miss three straight games, so the Heat could decide to limit Butler on […]
Danuel House Could Sit Out Tuesday
Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with a left toe sprain, but head coach Mike D'Antoni didn't mention anything about it earlier in the day. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the team decides to […]
Mikal Bridges Knocks Down Five Treys
Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges knocked down five threes in a 128-102 win over the Thunder. Bridges saw a bigger offensive role this game without Deandre Ayton (missed COVID test) in the lineup, taking advantage of his 14 shot attempts. The minutes have been there for the 23-year-old as he hasn't played less than 29 […]
Darius Bazley Records First Career Double-Double
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley scored 20-plus points for the second straight game, adding 10 rebounds for the first double-double of his career. Oklahoma City was without five of their top-six scorers in this one for various reasons, so Bazley's performance should be considered in light of that. Still, the 20-year-old has certainly flashed […]
Troy Brown Lays An Egg Against Thunder
Washington Wizards forward Troy Brown was unable to land his team their first victory in Orlando. He posted subpar shooting splits in 29 minutes of play. Brown went just 5-for-14 from the field and 2-for-7 from beyond the arc. After averaging 18.5 points over his last two games, it was a lackluster showing from the third-year […]
Darius Bazley Hits Five Three-Pointers Versus Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley, a 30.2 percent three-point shooter this season, was a flamethrower from deep Sunday versus the Wizards. Five of his nine treys found the bottom of the net, and he scored 23 points in 26 minutes off the bench. He also pulled down seven boards and dished out one assist. […]
Paul George Leads Clippers With 21 Points On Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George scored a team-high 21 points in Saturday's 122-117 win over Portland. He shot 8-for-16 from the field and a nice 3-for-6 from outside in 28 minutes of action. Kawhi Leonard (rest) was completely missing, and the Clippers also pulled George from the floor with five minutes left to play. […]
Gary Harris, Will Barton Remain Sidelined
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) and forward Will Barton (knee) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's unclear when these two will get back on the court. There's a good chance that they both sit out during all the seeding games. Michael Porter Jr. will remain a must-have DFS […]
Kawhi Leonard Resting Versus Blazers
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will give their superstar forward a rest day. That means, Paul George will be asked to carry the load on offense, which will make him […]
Tobias Harris Ties Season High With 15 Boards In Victory
Philadelphia 76ers small/power forward Tobias Harris has emerged as an elite fantasy commodity in the wake of a 23-point, 15-rebound showing against the Orlando Magic on Friday. In four games inside the bubble, Harris is now averaging 23.8 points and 8.8 rebounds, becoming the No. 2 option with Ben Simmons (knee) out of the mix […]
Terrence Ross Goes Scoreless Across 26 Minutes
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross was in position to see an increased role in the team’s offense during Friday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) out of the mix -- and he did, he just went 0-for-10 from the field, leading to Ross’ first scoreless outing since Oct. 24, 2017. […]
Dorian Finney-Smith Listed As Questionable For Saturday
Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is currently dealing with a left hip strain, but there isn't much more information out right now. Finney-Smith has been playing heavy minutes during the bubble, so his absence leaves a fairly significant void in the rotation. […]
Glenn Robinson III Won't Suit Up Friday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was able to get through practice on Thursday, so the team is hopeful that he can make his bubble debut soon. There should be some playing time available while Ben Simmons (knee) is sidelined. Until then, […]
Jimmy Butler Will Miss Third Straight Game
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will sit out his third game in a row on Saturday versus the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with right foot soreness, but it's unclear how significant the injury is at the moment. The Heat might have Butler sit out a few games as a precaution. Goran Dragic (ankle) […]
Joe Ingles Available On Friday
Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles (foot) is available for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with some right foot soreness, but is able to play through the issue. The Jazz will be without Mike Conley (knee), Donovan Mitchell (leg) and Rudy Gobert (rest) in this one. It's unclear if the team […]
Royce O'Neale Sitting Out Friday
Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Jazz have Rudy Gobert (rest), Mike Conley (knee), and Donovan Mitchell (leg) sitting out for this one as well. This seems like a punt game, so that the Jazz players can get back to full health. […]
Harrison Barnes Picks Up 22 Points On Thursday
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes finally found his flow in Orlando, scoring 22 points in Thursday's win over New Orleans. He had been very quiet in the first three bubble games, scoring only 28 total points. Barnes shot 9-for-18 from the floor against the Pels with a 2-for-4 record from deep. He also had six […]
Brandon Ingram Scores 24 Points Against Kings
New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram sank three treys and shot 8-for-14 overall from the field and Thursday's high-scoring game against the Kings. He also had three rebounds, three assists, and one steal. Ingram has now put together two 24-point performances on the bounce and the Pels are heading towards another high-scoring game on […]
Zion Williamson Scores 24 Points In 22 Minutes
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson played only 22 minutes in Thursday's loss to Sacramento, but he still managed to produce a good scoring display with 24 points. He missed only two of his 12 attempts from the floor and shot 4-for-7 at the line. Zion managed to make all of his first eight attempts […]
Jayson Tatum Scores 19 Points In Just 18 Minutes
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum needed just 18 minutes to record 19 points in the 149-115 win over the Nets on Wednesday. Tatum was efficient making seven of his 11 shots from the floor and added two rebounds with a steal while drilling five triples. We can almost call this a day off for the […]
Joe Harris Provides Solid Line In Bad Loss
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Joe Harris continued his excellent play in the restart on Wednesday, but his solid numbers were nowhere near enough in the brutal loss to the Celtics. Harris connected on 6-for-14 shooting en route 14 points while adding six rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Harris had been dealing with tightness […]
Kyle Kuzma Scores 10 Points Off The Bench
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma was one of just three Lakers' players on Wednesday to score in double digits in the 19-point loss to the Thunder. Kuzma connected on 3-for-7 shooting and added three rebounds with zero turnovers in 27 minutes of action. Dion Waiters had a solid full line as he tallied 14 […]
Danilo Gallinari Scores 19 Points In Win Over Lakers
Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Danilo Gallinari posted another excellent line on Wednesday in the 19-point win over the Lakers. Gallinari chipped in 19 points on 5-for-13 shooting from the floor and added seven rebounds with a steal. Gallinari held his own in this one and was often matched up with Anthony Davis who had […]
Keldon Johnson Racks Up 20 Bench Points
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson had a career night on Wednesday against Denver with 20 points off the bench. He shot 7-for-10 in 26 minutes of action, sinking both of his attempts from deep. The 20-year-old rookie also picked up six rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Johnson was used very little during the […]
Rudy Gay Scores Team-High 24 Points
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay was the team's top scorer with 24 points in Wednesday's loss to Denver, shooting 9-for-18 from the field and 2-for-6 from downtown. He logged 26 minutes off the bench and contributed nicely across the board, adding four assists, four rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. Gay isn't the player […]
Jerami Grant Notches 22 Points Off The Bench
Denver Nuggets forward Jerami Grant had a very productive bench outing in Wednesday's win over San Antonio, scoring 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting. He also had a pair of rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 35 minutes of action. Grant managed only two points in 34 minutes in Monday's overtime win against […]
Michael Porter Jr. Posts Another 30-Point Game
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. came up big for the team once more on Wednesday, recording his second consecutive 30-point night. He followed up Monday's 37-point effort with a 30-point game on 11-for-19 shooting. Porter Jr. led all scorers, while also grabbing a game-high 15 rebounds. T.J. Warren suddenly seems to have a rival […]
Jerome Robinson Pours In 19 Points Off Bench In Loss
Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Jerome Robinson continued to lead the team’s second unit against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, dropping 19 points on 5-for-11 shooting. Since entering the bubble, Robinson has been the Wizard who arguably has benefited most from the absence of Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans, staples of the team’s offense at […]
Joe Ingles Knocks Down Six Treys Against Grizzlies
Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles was a marksman on Wednesday, drilling six triples en route to a 25-point performance in a win over the Grizzlies. Ingles scored just 12 points in his previous two games combined, so this game was sorely needed. Though he wasn't scoring much, he has been a sneaky source of assists, […]
Glenn Robinson III Missing Third Straight Game
Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. It will be his third straight game on the sidelines. It's unclear if he'll suit up at all during the bubble. Robinson isn't much of a factor in the rotation anyway. James Ennis and Alec Burks will […]
