Paul George Collects Double-Double On Rough Shooting Night
Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, delivering him his first double-double since Christmas Day. He was able to reach that mark despite a 5-for-17 shooting performance, which resulted in his first sub-20-point game since Dec. 7. Ultimately, credit can be […]
Nicolas Batum Gets Close To Double-Double
Charlotte Hornets small forward Nicolas Batum was just one rebound short of his first double-double of the season on Saturday, finishing a 104-97 loss to the Kings with 13 points and nine boards. He shot 4-for-6 from the field, including a very good 3-for-4 from downtown. Batum also had five assists, two steals and one […]
Jayson Tatum Misses Jumper To Force Overtime
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum scored 16 points but missed 10 of 16 shots from the field including a 21-foot fadeaway jumper at the buzzer in Saturday's 105-103 loss to the Magic. The 20-year-old did add six rebounds, one assist, one block along with one turnover. He has now scored in double-figures in each […]
Terrence Ross Knocks Down Five Treys On Way To 25 Points
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross pumped in 25 points off the bench on 8-for-20 shooting from the floor, 5-for-14 from long distance, and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. The 27-year-old added four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 31 minutes. He scored 18 of the team's 64 second-half points to help the […]
Maurice Harkless Continues To Deal With Knee Issue
Portland Trail Blazers small forward Maurice Harkless (knee) will not play against the Nuggets on Sunday as he continues to be plagued by left knee soreness. The 25-year-old, who has dealt with the injury the whole season, will miss his third game in the last four outings. Jake Layman is expected to start once again […]
Will Barton Finally Returns
Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward Will Barton (hip) will be available for Saturday's game against the Suns. It will mark his first appearance since suffering the injury the second game of the season. The 28-year-old will be coming off the bench and be on a minutes restriction, so he is not worth a play in […]
E'Twaun Moore Expected To Start On Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore (quadriceps) is expected to play and start on Saturday against the Timberwolves. Moore had missed the previous two games with the injury. The 6-foot-5 wing has scored in double-figures in each of his last four appearances as he has shot the ball well during this stretch. He […]
Kyle Anderson Will Not Return Versus Miami
Memphis Grizzlies small forward Kyle Anderson (ankle) will not return on Saturday night against the Heat after spraining his left ankle in the first quarter of the game. He finished the game with two points, one assist and one steal in eight minutes of action. Justin Holiday will likely see most of the time at […]
Danilo Gallinari Leads Clippers In Scoring Versus Pistons
Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari led the team in scoring on Saturday, finishing a 109-104 loss to Detroit with 23 points. He shot 6-for-15 from the field and 3-for-9 from deep with an 8-for-8 record from the charity stripe. Lou Williams finished right behind him with 22 points. Gallinari added six rebounds and two […]
Reggie Bullock Drops Five Treys On Clippers
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock was feeling it from deep on Saturday against the Clippers, shooting 5-for-10 from behind the arc. He had a really nice outing with 6-for-14 overall shooting, scoring 17 points and adding seven rebounds and four assists. Bullock started 2019 with a six-point dud against Milwaukee, but he's since then scored […]
Tim Hardaway Jr., Damyean Dotson Probable for Sunday
New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) and guard Damyean Dotson (calf) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hardaway injured his left hamstring during Friday's contest. It doesn't seem serious, so hopefully Hardaway can suit up for Sunday. Dotson left Friday's game due to a calf contusion and was […]
Taurean Prince is Questionable for Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Prince has been doing on-court work this week and is traveling with the team. Deandre Bembry and Jeremy Lin should lose some playing time once Prince is able to return. Prince is worth an add in most fantasy leagues since […]
Bobby Portis is Questionable for Saturday
Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. It sounds like he suffered a right elbow injury on Friday, so the Bulls might be cautious in the back-to-back set. Jabari Parker and Robin Lopez should see more minutes if Portis sits out on Saturday.
Kevin Durant Posts Enormous Plus-42 Rating In Victory
Golden State Warriors small/power forward Kevin Durant compiled 22 points in 28 minutes during Friday’s blowout win over the Chicago Bulls. By Durant’s standards, it was a quiet evening, as his team outscored Chicago by 42 points with him on the floor. Still, he was uber-efficient, shooting 7-for-11 from the floor overall, adding five assists […]
Josh Okogie Drills Career-High Four Threes
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie set a new career high with four made threes during Friday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks. His 15 points were his highest total since Nov. 2, earning the start again in place of the injured Robert Covington (knee). He figures to remain the starting five for the time […]
Khris Middleton Plays Outstandingly
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton had a very good outing versus the Washington Wizards Friday night. Middleton scored 25 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the floor with eight boards. Friday night the Bucks were without all-world power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo who was out with a hip injury. Middleton's production did go up the absence […]
Otto Porter Gets Limited Opportunities
Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter didn't have the best showing Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Porter scored just eight points going two for seven from the floor and two for four from the free-throw line. Porter did try to make up for his lack of scoring by also getting nine boards and two […]
Luka Doncic Drops 29 Points En Route To Near Triple-Double
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic dazzled Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, drilling the go-ahead bucket in the final minute, accounting for 29 points on the night. His 12 assists gave Doncic his seventh double-double of the season, coming just two rebounds shy of recording his first career triple-double. Recording just one turnover in 35 minutes, […]
Brandon Ingram Scores 15 Points On 11 Shots In Loss
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram registered 15 points on a solid six of 11 shooting in his club's loss to the Jazz on Friday. Ingram managed to grab five rebounds and added a block but struggled at the line where he made just two of his six attempts. Ingram's consistency continues to […]
Kyle Kuzma Cools Off On Friday Against The Jazz
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma could not follow up his 41 point explosion from Wednesday as he scored just 11 points on a rough 4-for-18 shooting from the floor on Friday. Kuzma managed to add eight rebounds with an assist and a steal while missing all five of his attempts from three on the […]
Kawhi Leonard Scores 20 Points Versus The Nets
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points on Friday that extended his run of 20-plus point games to a career-best 18th consecutive game in the win over the Nets. Leonard made it a double-double as he hauled in 11 rebounds and added four dimes with a steal and two makes from downtown […]
DeMarre Carroll Records Just Eight Points In Loss
Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll could not get revenge on his former squad on Friday as he was limited to 21 minutes and scored just eight points against the Raptors. Carroll added four rebounds with two makes from three on the night. Carroll didn't even get the start for the undermanned Nets, but possibly it […]
Ben Simmons Posts Triple-Double In Home Setback
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons went for 23 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds with a pair of steals and a blocked shot over 43 minutes in Friday's 123-121 loss against the Atlanta Hawks. Simmons hit 10-for-13 from the field, although he was just 3-for-7 from the free-throw line which was a bit costly. […]
Rodney Hood Set For Return To Action Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood will be able to suit up for Friday’s showdown with the Houston Rockets, but will remain on a minutes limit as he returns from a left Achilles injury. Hood has missed the previous three games and seven of the last nine, so his minutes cap likely kills any […]
E'Twaun Moore is Probable for Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore (quad) is probable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Moore has been sidelined the last two games due to a left quad issue. Darius Miller started in both those contests, but would move back to the bench and see reduced minutes with Moore back.
D.J. Wilson Upgraded to Questionable on Friday
Milwaukee Bucks forward D.J. Wilson (hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed the last two games and was originally listed as doubtful for Friday. Normally, Wilson's status wouldn't matter for fantasy basketball, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad/hip) is doubtful for Friday. Wilson could see extra minutes on the […]
Rudy Gay Has No Timetable to Return
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (wrist) has no timetable to return and is out indefinitely. Gay has missed three straight games and four of the last six due to a sprained left wrist. Hopefully it's something that will only sideline him for a week or so and fantasy owners can get him back soon. […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo is Doubtful for Friday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad, hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He played fantastic on Wednesday, but landed on the injury report on Thursday due to right quadriceps soreness/left hip contusion. Ersan Ilyasova would see big minutes without Antetokounmpo on the court. IIyasova would be worth looking […]
Jayson Tatum Continues Poor Shooting
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum didn't have a very good showing versus the Miami Heat on Thursday. Tatum scored 17 points going four for eleven from the field but seven for seven from the charity stripe. In the last ten games, Tatum has been struggling with his jumper shooting a paltry 36 percent from […]
Tobias Harris Records Double-Double On Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris notched a 18-points, 11-rebound double-double on Thursday, but he couldn't save the team from a loss against the Nuggets. Danilo Gallinari, who also finished with 18 points, and Montrezl Harrell, who had 16, were in good form as well, but the backcourt struggled and that meant an end for […]
