Kent Bazemore Set To Play Sunday

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore has been cleared to play in Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Jimmy Butler Cleared To Play Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler will play in Sunday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Butler has […]

Golden State Warriors small forward/shooting guard Andre Iguodala scored a single point but otherwise filled the stat sheet as he contributed a season-high seven rebounds along with four assists, one block, and two steals in Saturday's victory over the Kings. He missed both of his shots, which were three-point attempts, and was 1-for-2 from the […]

Bobby Portis is Progressing Well

Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (leg) did a light workout at the Bulls' practice on Friday. It's the most work that Portis has done since his injury, according to head coach Fred Hoiberg. However, Portis is not cleared for contact yet, so he's still a bit away from returning to the court. Jabari Parker should […]

Justise Winslow is Probable on Sunday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Winslow is expected to play through the injury since he played 29 minutes on Friday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra does like to shake up his rotations, so fantasy owners never know what to expect.

Iman Shumpert Will Rest on Sunday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (rest) will sit out of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Shumpert will rest during the second game of the back-to-back set.

Jayson Tatum Scores Team-High 21 Points

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum poured in a team-high 21 points Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks, unable to help lead his squad to victory. Averaging 16.2 points per game through his first 20 contests, it’s easy to forget that the Celtics’ second-leading scorer is still just 20 years old. Owners can hope that night’s […]

Jaylen Brown Delivers Efficient 16-Point Effort

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown went for 16 points on just 7-for-9 shooting during Saturday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He took a hard fall late in the contest, but he’s reportedly good to go moving forward. Brown failed to attempt a three for the first time all year, but should have plenty […]

Paul George Finishes With Team-High 24 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George did it all during Saturday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, scoring a team-high 24 points to go along with 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals.

Gary Harris Is Out Due To Ankle Injury

Jimmy Butler May Not Play Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets. Butler sprained his left ankle late in Friday's loss to the Cavs. The good news is that the X-rays following the game came back negative. If the 29-year-old was unable to play, Landry Shamet and Furkan Korkmaz would be […]

Gordon Hayward Unable To Go On Saturday

Boston Celtics small forward/power forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's tilt against the Mavericks due to ankle soreness. Hayward had a solid game on Friday against the Hawks, compiling 11 points along with five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 22 minutes. He has played a little better recently, but […]

Kent Bazemore Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets. The 6-foot-5 wing tweaked his left ankle on Friday night and did not return.
