Nikola Mirotic Has Eight Points In Bucks Debut
Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic made his team debut on Thursday, finishing a 98-97 win over Boston with eight points. Mirotic hadn't played for a month due to an injury, so his minutes were monitored and he logged only 14 minutes off the bench. He shot 3-for-7 from the field and 2-for-6 from downtown. His […]
Khris Middleton Bags Double-Double In Bucks Win
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton recorded a 15-point, 13-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over Boston. It wasn't a particularly good night for him, as he shot only 5-for-14 from the field, but he was there to sink an important triple in the final seconds and he shot a good 3-for-6 overall from deep. Middleton […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Big Fourth Quarter Versus Boston
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo registered his third consecutive game with at least 30 points on Thursday against Boston. He shot 11-for-19 from the field, and had 12 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. Giannis also picked up 13 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and one steal.

Durant filled it up as usual with 28 points, nine rebounds, four assists with a steal and a long make from three to end the third […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Moves Into The Starting Unit
Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic moved into the starting unit on Thursday and it worked out well as he stuffed the stat sheet in the near win over the Warriors. Bogdanovic scored 14 points and added three rebounds with six assists and two steals in 31 minutes of action. This long-overdue move looks […]

Harris was a solid 8-for-15 from the floor and added 11 rebounds with a block and three triples on the night. Harris had a big fourth quarter […]

Simmons added four assists with seven rebounds while adding a block with a steal in 38 minutes of action. Simmons has seen his supporting stats take a slide over his […]
T.J. Warren Won't Play on Thursday
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It appears that Warren is getting closer to a return, but he's not quite ready yet. Josh Jackson and Kelly Oubre will continue to see more playing time without Warren in the rotation. Warren is worth stashing in […]
Furkan Korkmaz Likely Done for The Season
Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely and his regular season is likely over. Korkmaz suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee, so the Sixers are going to be thin without his depth. Jimmy Butler and Jonathon Simmons will be asked to hold down the small forward position. Both players […]
Iman Shumpert Won't Play Next Two Games
Houston Rockets guard/forward Iman Shumpert (knee) has been ruled out the next two games. Shumpert is dealing with right knee soreness, so he won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Austin Rivers and Gerald Green should see increased minutes until Shumpert gets back on the court.
Josh Hart is Probable for Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) was not able to practice on Wednesday, but is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed three of the last four games before the All-Star break. Reggie Bullock is in the rotation now, so Hart doesn't have much fantasy value right now.
Derrick Jones is Questionable on Thursday
Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jones was able to practice on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he's able to suit up for this contest. Jones has missed the last three weeks, so he could be eased back into action. He's not worth […]
Nikola Mirotic Expected to Play Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic (calf) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Head coach Mike Budenholzer said that Mirotic is probable after going through Wednesday's practice. He's been out for awhile, so Mirotic might have a minutes limit. However, he needs to be added in all leagues going forward.
Gordon Hayward is Doubtful for Thursday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Hayward was listed as questionable beforehand and is considered day-to-day at the moment. The Celtics will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, so no big winner here.
Rodney Hood is Available on Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Hood has seen his fantasy value take a significant hit since joining the Blazers. Jake Layman is playing solid, so Hood is going to continue losing minutes to Layman. Most fantasy owners can go ahead and avoid Hood at […]
Wilson Chandler Will Practice After All-Star Break
Los Angeles Clippers forward Wilson Chandler (quad) is expected to return to practice after the All-Star break. He was traded to the Clippers at the deadline, but has yet to make his debut for Los Angeles. However, the Clippers have plenty of depth, so Chandler won't be relevant in fantasy leagues.
Paul George's 28 Points Not Enough On Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George once again filled the stat sheet, but it was not enough in the nine-point loss to the Pelicans on Thursday. George struggled from the floor making just 11 of 29 shots and made just three of 17 from three, but added seven rebounds with six assists to go along […]
Harrison Barnes Notches First Double-Double As A King
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes suffered his first loss as a King in his third contest but managed to snag his first double-double with his new team. Barnes' double-double was also his best performance in his new home, scoring 19 points, hauling in 11 boards, dishing out four assists and snagging a pair of steals. […]
Mario Hezonja is Doubtful for Thursday
New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja (leg) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Hezonja played just six minutes on Wednesday and is now on the injury report with a left leg contusion. Damyean Dotson is expected to jump into the starting five if Hezonja is unable to play. Fantasy owners should check […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Finishes With Team-High 20 Points
Indiana Pacers small forward Bojan Bogdanovic continued to lead the way offensively for his squad during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, finishing with a team-best 20 points. Bogdanovic closes the first half of the season having led his team in scoring in four of their five most recent outings, taking on an increased role […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Ends First Half With Triple-Double
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated in his team’s final contest prior to the All-Star break, logging his fifth triple-double of the season during Wednesday’s win over the Indiana Pacers. Antetokounmpo finished with 33 points, 19 rebounds and 11 assists, shooting 12-for-22 from the field, while turning the ball over just twice in 38 […]
Luol Deng Fills Stat Sheet During Start
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Luol Deng drew another start during Wednesday’s victory over the Houston Rockets in place of Andrew Wiggins and saw a hefty workload to boot. Deng recorded 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 36 minutes of action during his second time in the starting five, more than delivering […]
Otto Porter Records Career High In Points
Chicago Bulls small forward Otto Porter played tremendously versus the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday. Porter scored 37 points shooting 16-of-20 from the floor with 10 boards. Maybe a change of scenery is exactly what Porter needed. Since Porter was acquired by the Bulls he has averaged 22.5 points and 5.8 rebounds a contest. Next, up for […]
Jayson Tatum Leads Celtics With 19 Points Wednesday Night
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum shot 8-for-18 on his way to a team-high 19 points in Wednesday's win over Detroit. He was 3-for-8 from deep and finished things off with four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Tatum has been on a nice run ahead of the All-Star break, averaging 20.4 points per game […]
Gordon Hayward Has Another Good Game On Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward continued his recent strong stretch on Wednesday against the Pistons, recording 18 points, eight assists, five rebounds and one block in 34 minutes on the floor. He shot 5-for-8 from the field and 7-for-8 from the line. Hayward has finally looked like his old self in recent games, averaging 21 […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Paces Suns With 28 Points In Lopsided Loss
Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. continued to fill up the score sheets in a Suns uniform as the athletic wing scored a team-high 28 points in the big loss to the Clippers. Oubre Jr. was a solid 10 of 16 from the floor and added five rebounds with two assists while draining three makes […]
Dwyane Wade Scores 22 Points Off The Bench
Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Dwyane Wade provided some energy and 22 points off the bench to help propel his Heat club to the victory over the Mavericks on Wednesday. Wade was an efficient 9-for-13 from the floor and added two rebounds with an assist and a make from three to his line. Wade has […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Scores 20 Points In Loss To Heat
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr.'s 20 points were not enough in the 11-point defeat at the hands of the Heat on Wednesday. Hardaway Jr. connected on 7-for-15 shooting and added two rebounds with two assists while draining four of 11 attempts from downtown in this one. THJ should continue to get heavy […]
