Luka Doncic Just An Assist Shy Of A Triple-Double
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic just missed out on a triple-double on Wednesday against the Heat as the rookie scored 18 points, with 12 rebounds and added nine assists. Doncic did struggle from the floor nailing just five of 17 shots and added six turnovers in this one. Doncic will be a beast the rest […]
Pascal Siakam Goes Off For A Career-High 44 Points
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam erupted for a career-high 44 points in the 129-120 win over the Wizards on Wednesday. Siakam was firing on all cylinders as he connected on 15 of 25 shooting from the floor, 10 of 12 shooting at the line and connected on four makes from three. Siakam did not stop […]
Jabari Parker Bounces Back With Solid Line In Loss
Washington Wizards forward Jabari Parker recovered from his disastrous game from Monday night when he netted 22 points with some extras in the loss to the Raptors on Wednesday. Parker added nine rebounds with four assists and a steal while draining a make from three in 34 minutes of action. That is three out of […]
Jake Layman Outstanding Off The Bench
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Jake Layman was very efficient off the bench in Wednesday's 129-107 victory against the Golden State Warriors, finishing with 17 points, two rebounds, two steals and an assist over 26 minutes. He hit 7-for-9 from the field, including 3-for-5 from behind the three-point arc. The former standout at Maryland is […]

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and small forward Kevin Durant each posted 32 points in Wednesday's 129-107 road loss against the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry finished 10-for-24 from the field, including 5-for-14 from downtown, while going 7-for-7 from the free-throw stripe. Curry also pulled down seven boards with two assists. Durant ended up […]
Andre Iguodala To Miss Wednesday’s Game
Golden State Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala will join teammates DeMarcus Cousins and Shaun Livingston in resting to close out the first half against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Iguodala missed a game Sunday due to hamstring tightness before returning to play Tuesday, so Golden State remaining cautious with the veteran doesn’t come as […]
Andrew Wiggins To Miss Wednesday’s Game
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins will miss his second straight game Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. Wiggins was able to participate in shootaround earlier in the day, but head coach Ryan Saunders has opted to rule him out regardless. The move will allow Luol Deng to continue seeing a sizable workload in his […]
Treveon Graham Ruled Out On Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Treveon Graham will be sidelined for Wednesday’s contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to personal reasons. Graham will join Rodions Kurucs as wings missing the contest for Brooklyn, which should open up more minutes for Allen Crabbe (who will not have a minutes restriction) and DeMarre Carroll. Graham has averaged […]
Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game
Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Wednesday’s contest versus the Washington Wizards due to knee soreness. The injury tag popped up for Leonard earlier in the day and the club will hold him out of their final game of the first half. Of the 59 games the Raptors played prior to the All-Star […]
Rodions Kurucs Ruled Out on Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kurucs is dealing with a left elbow sprain, but will get a full week off with the All-Star break approaching. Shabazz Napier or Allen Crabbe will likely be asked to jump into the starting five. Fantasy owners should […]
Kawhi Leonard is Questionable on Wednesday
Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Leonard is dealing with knee soreness and the Raptors have been careful with Leonard all season. It's likely that Leonard sits and Norman Powell gets the start in return. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game time.
Andrew Wiggins Participates in Shootaround
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) was able to participate in shootaround on Wednesday. However, Wiggins remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Luol Deng would return to the bench if Wiggins is able to get back on the court. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.
Cedi Osman is Available on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as out on Tuesday, but it appears he's going to play after a four game absence. David Nwaba stands to lose some value with Osman returning on Wednesday.
Andre Iguodala Could Rest on Wednesday
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a back-to-back set for the Warriors, so they may decide to rest Iggy in this one. Alfonzo McKinnie would likely benefit the most if Iggy is unable to play on Wednesday.
Jayson Tatum Tallies Double-Double In Win Over 76ers
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was one of the key pieces in the Celtics offensive attack that defeated the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. The sophomore forward tallied a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds, finishing out his stat sheet with one assist, two steals and two blocks. The Duke product also had an […]
Gordon Hayward Scores Game-High 26 Points Off Bench
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward had an extremely efficient and well-rounded night on Tuesday, helping lead his team to victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hayward came off the bench and scored 26 points on nearly perfect shooting, hitting eight of 11 from the field and a remarkable six of seven from deep. The second-year Celtic […]
Rudy Gay Nearly Completes Triple-Double In Win
San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Rudy Gay finished Tuesday’s victory over the Memphis Grizzlies with 15 points, 12 rebounds and a season-high eight assists, nearly logging the first triple-double of his career in the place where it started. Gay’s performance put the finishing touches on an excellent first half, one in which he shot a […]
Jimmy Butler's 22 Points Not Enough Versus Celtics
Philadelphia 76ers forward Jimmy Butler fell just short of a double-double on Tuesday night, as his team fell short of a win against the Boston Celtics. Butler's effort included 22 points, nine boards and one assist. The first-year Sixer shot well for the night, connecting on seven of 12 from the field and one of […]
Taurean Prince Returns To Form With 17-Point Outing
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince got trending back in the right direction offensively during Tuesday’s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, shooting 6-for-14 overall, including 4-for-9 from deep en route to a 17-point effort. With Prince returning to the fold, the Hawks have more wings than they seemingly know what to do with. Over […]
LeBron James Notches Fifth Triple-Double Of Year
Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James logged his second triple-double in his last four games during Tuesday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks. James, playing de facto point guard on many possessions, set a new season-high with 16 assists, while adding 28 points and 11 rebounds. Despite recent discussions of ‘load management,’ James was on […]
Evan Fournier Goes For 22 Points Against Pelicans
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier produced his second 20-plus point game of the month on Tuesday, finishing a 118-88 win over New Orleans with 22 in his bag. He shot 7-for-16 from the field and 3-for-4 from deep while keeping his record perfect at the line with five attempts. Fournier failed to register any defensive […]
Jonathan Isaac Plays Great At Both Ends
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac went an ugly 2-for-9 from downtown in Tuesday's win over New Orleans, but he played an outstanding all-around game, finishing with 20 points and picking up three blocks on the defensive end. He also had seven rebounds and registered a game-high plus-33 rating. Isaac shot 7-for-18 overall from the field. […]
Andre Iguodala Set To Return Tuesday
Golden State Warriors small forward Andre Iguodala will play in Tuesday’s contest versus the Utah Jazz after having missed Sunday’s outing due to left hamstring tightness. The Warriors reallocated Iguodala’s minutes to their traditional group last game, so he stands to log his normal load Tuesday. The fact that he was trending in the right […]
Cedi Osman Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers small/power forward Cedi Osman has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets due to a sprained right ankle. Osman has missed each of Cleveland’s last four games, having paved the way for Larry Nance Jr. to absorb a large chunk of those minutes in the frontcourt. Kevin […]
DeMarre Carroll is Expected to Play on Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (knee) is feeling better and is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Carroll missed Monday's game, but it appears this is only going to be a one game absence for him. The Nets have plenty of depth with Caris Levert, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and Allen Crabbe all […]
T.J. Warren Out Until After All-Star Break
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is not surprising news that the Suns have decided to hold Warren out until after the All-Star break. Josh Jackson, Kelly Oubre and Mikal Bridges will continue seeing more minutes with Warren sidelined. However, Warren is […]
Andre Iguodala is Questionable for Tuesday
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Iggy sit out at least one game if not both contests. Alfonzo McKinnie and possibly Shaun Livingston would see an increase in playing time […]
Andrew Wiggins Misses Tuesday's Practice
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) was not able to practice on Tuesday. Wiggins missed Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers and now it's looking like he's questionable for Wednesday versus the Rockets. Luol Deng would be in line for another start, but he's not a favorable DFS option. Fantasy owners will need to […]
Tyreke Evans Provides Valuable Bench Minutes In Win
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans was a spark off the bench for his team in a win versus the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night. Evans put up 12 points on efficient shooting, hitting four of seven from the floor and two of three from deep. The 29-year-old veteran rounded out his night with one board […]
Jake Layman Continues Hot Stretch
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Jake Layman has quietly established himself as a fantasy commodity over the last handful of weeks, a point that was reinforced during Monday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Layman logged 28 minutes off the bench and recorded 17 points, four rebounds and four blocks, while also knocking down a […]
