Jayson Tatum Wishes To Forget His Performance
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum didn't please people with his outing versus the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.

Royce O'Neale Registers Double-Double In Home Victory
Utah Jazz small forward Royce O'Neale recorded 16 points with 11 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a blocked shot over 36 minutes in Friday's 115-99 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Allen Crabbe Remains Sidelined on Friday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Crabbe is considered day-to-day due to right knee soreness. However, there has been no word about his improvement, so it's unclear when he's going to return to the lineup. Shabazz Napier will continue to see increased playing time in […]
OG Anunoby Ruled Out on Saturday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks his third straight game that he's missed due to personal reasons. Norman Powell will see increased playing time and C.J. Miles should get more involved as well on Saturday.
Wesley Matthews is Questionable for Saturday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (wrist) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The injury bug keeps biting Matthews as he's now dealing with a right wrist sprain. Dorian Finney-Smith and Devin Harris would likely benefit the most if Matthews is unable to play. Fantasy owners should check back on Saturday […]
Stanley Johnson is Probable for Friday
Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Johnson is dealing with right hamstring soreness, so the Pistons may elect to be cautious and hold him out. Johnson has been awful lately, so he belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues.
Josh Richardson is Questionable on Friday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Richardson has only missed one game this season, so it takes a lot to keep him sidelined. The Heat would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Richardson is unable to play. Dwyane Wade and Justise Winslow […]
Rodney Hood Looks To Continue Good Stretch
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood has played pretty well in January, albeit he has appeared in just five games. The 26-year-old pumped in 20 points on 7-for-15 shooting from the field, including 0-for-2 from the three-point line, and 6-for-6 from the charity stripe in 26 minutes in the loss to the Trail Blazers. […]
Paul George Has Good All-Around Performance Against Lakers
Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George did very little wrong in Thursday's 138-128 overtime loss to the Lakers, scoring 27 points and picking up eight assists, seven rebounds, and three steals.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma scored a game-high 32 points in Thursday's overtime win against OKC. He was feeling it all night, shooting 11-for-20 from the field and 7-for-12 from behind the arc. Kuzma's stat line also included eight rebounds, four assists, and three steals. The second-year forward has been on a very nice […]
Lauri Markkanen Leads Team With 27 Points In Loss
Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen did not get much support from his teammates in the blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. Markkanen netted a team-high 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds with five makes from three-point land in just 25 minutes of action. The low minutes were due to this game being over […]
Pascal Siakam Plays The Role Of Hero On Thursday In Win
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam made the final the game-winning layup at the buzzer to get the win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Siakam was remarkable throughout the night as he scored 10 points on 4-for-8 shooting from the field and added 12 rebounds with five assists to go along with a steal and […]
T.J. Warren Struggles On Offense In Loss Versus Raptors
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren struggled offensively on Thursday when he managed just 11 points on 5-for-16 shooting in the two-point loss to the Raptors. It was not all bad for the rugged forward as Warren managed to grab six boards with two steals and two blocks while nailing a make from three. Warren has […]
Otto Porter Jr. Shines Again Off The Bench
Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter Jr. had another strong performance off the bench on Thursday against the Knicks, recording a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double in 35 minutes. He ended up leading the team in rebounding while shooting 8-for-16 from the field with a 1-for-3 record from downtown. Porter Jr. also extended his run with multiple […]
Terrence Ross Looks To Keep Shooting Well From Long Distance
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross has been stroking the ball well from beyond the arc in January and will look to continue that trend on Friday at home against the Nets. The 27-year-old is coming off his third 20-point outing in the past five games as he pumped in 24 points on 8-for-14 […]
Luke Kennard Scores In Double Figures For Fifth Time In Last Nine Games
Detroit Pistons shooting guard/small forward Luke Kennard scored 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field, including 1-for-3 from the three-point line, in Wednesday's overtime victory over the Magic.

Will Barton Could Sit Out on Thursday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (personal) was excused from shootaround and is questionable for Thursday's game. It's unclear why Barton left shootaround, but there's a chance he's not ready by game time. That would likely mean more minutes for Torrey Craig. Fantasy owners should check back later in the day for an update.
OG Anunoby Won't Play on Thursday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) won't play in Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the second game in a row that Anunoby has missed due to personal reasons.

Kawhi Leonard Won't Play on Thursday
Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play in Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's a back-to-back contest, so it's not surprising to see Leonard sitting this one out. Leonard has played 81 minutes over the last two games, so he's earned a day off. Norman Powell could be looking at heavy minutes […]
Wilson Chandler is Questionable on Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Chandler missed a few games earlier in the month due to an upper respiratory infection. Joel Embiid (back) is also questionable for this contest, so Amir Johnson and Mike Muscala could be looking at heavy minutes. Fantasy owners should check […]
