He shot 4-for-7 overall from the field to finish with 13 points, five rebounds, one steal, and one block. Mirotic failed to register a double-double for only the fifth time this season. He'll be […]
Khris Middleton Cold From The Field In Win
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton went 4-for-15 from the floor during Monday’s win over the Denver Nuggets. As is usually the case with Middleton, he was able to contribute across other categories to make up for it, adding six rebounds, five assists and two steals to go along with his 13 points. Despite […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Big Scoring Night In Win
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 29 points and 12 rebounds in Monday’s win over the Denver Nuggets. Antetokounmpo wasn’t done there, adding six assists and two steals to give him a huge night across 39 minutes. If his performance lacked anywhere, it was from long range where he went 0-for-6. […]
Paul George Scores 27 Points In Monday's Loss
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George recorded 27 points on a night where he made just nine of his 24 shots in his club's loss to the Kings. George connected on four makes from three with three assists while hauling down nine rebounds with a block on Monday. George is averaging a whopping 31.5 points […]
Jerami Grant Cools Off In Monday's Win
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant failed to score in double-digits for the first time in 12 games and it did not help as his club picked up the loss on Monday. Grant scored eight points on 3-for-9 shooting while adding a rebound and a block to his line. When OKC wins, Grant averages 13.3 […]
Nemanja Bjelica Has Efficient Night From The Floor
Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica put together one of his better lines in the past couple of weeks as he knocked down 5-for-6 of his shots to score 12 points in Monday's win. Bjelica added two makes from three while hauling in eight rebounds and a steal with a single turnover in 23 minutes of […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Posts A Solid Line In 25 Minutes
Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic recorded a decent stat line in 25 minutes of action in Monday's win. Bogdanovic shot 6-for-13 from the floor for 16 points and added three assists with five rebounds and four makes from three. It was not all good for the Serbian who is still shaking off the […]
Buddy Hield Scores 25 Points To Help Secure Monday's Win
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield registered his second consecutive back-to-back 20-plus game in Monday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hield was 9-for-18 from the floor with four rebounds and two assists with five makes from three in 35 minutes. Hield looks to be past his recent struggles and these bumps in the road […]
Kent Bazemore Has Quiet Night In Loss
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore took just four shots in 26 minutes during Monday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. His downturn in looks is likely due to the return to the fold of Taurean Prince, along with the stylings of Trae Young. But with the Hawks getting up 101 shots as a […]
Taurean Prince Scores 21 Points In Return
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince scored 21 points in his return to the lineup Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. An Achilles issue had sidelined him for the previous two games, but he picked up right where he left off, delivering his third consecutive 20-point outing. Now that it appears he has put the […]
DeMar DeRozan Scores 21 points In The Loss
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward DeMar DeRozan recorded 21 points on Monday in his club's loss to the Pelicans. DeRozan was a not-so-efficient 7-for-19 from the floor but knocked down all seven of his shots at the line while adding six rebounds with five assists and a steal in 31 minutes of action. DeRozan […]
Marco Belinelli Notches 11 Points In Monday's Loss
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Marco Belinelli registered 11 points off the bench in Monday's 140-126 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Rudy Gay Scores 17 Points On Monday

Joe Ingles Quiet In Monday's Loss To The Pacers
Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles continued his sluggish play as of late as he recorded just five points with not many supporting stats in Monday's loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Jae Crowder Finds His Stroke In Monday's Loss
Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder returned to form as he knocked down four triples after struggling over his last handful of games, but it was not enough as his club lost on Monday. Crowder was 4-for-9 from the floor and added five rebounds with four assists and two blocks to round out his line. Crowder […]
Luka Doncic Posts Double-Double
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic scored 15 points to go along with 10 rebounds, three assists, one block, three three-pointers and three turnovers during Monday's road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Doncic has recorded 3.9 turnovers per game this season, but if you are playing in an eight-category league or points league, that isn't a […]
Mike Scott Drills Six Threes
The Los Angeles Clippers have gotten production from up and down their roster to start the 2018-19 season, but small forward Mike Scott delivered a surprise performance during Monday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, knocking down six three-pointers to help ice the game against his former club. Scott had finished in double figures just once […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Scores Team-High 21 Points
Indiana Pacers small forward Bojan Bogdanovic finished with a team-high 21 points during Monday’s win over the Utah Jazz. With Victor Oladipo out, Bogdanovic took over the role of alpha dog for the Indiana offense, delivering at least 20 points in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Bogdanovic continues to scorch the nets […]
Tyreke Evans Draws First Start Of Season
Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Tyreke Evans drew his first start of the season in Monday’s win over the Utah Jazz for the injured Victor Oladipo. His numbers didn’t vary drastically, as he finished with eight points on 3-for-12 shooting with five assists, three rebounds and two steals. Evans likely isn't an overwhelming fantasy commodity, […]
Reggie Bullock Heats Up From Long Range
Detroit Pistons shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock knocked down a quartet of threes during Monday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 21 points. After making six threes in a game last week, Bullock has earned himself consistent run with his marksmanship. While he entered the night shooting just 32.7 percent from long range, he’s […]
Cedi Osman Logs 30 Minutes Against Pistons
Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman played 30 minutes during Monday’s loss to the Detroit Pistons, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds and two assists. The stat line wasn’t gaudy for the second-year forward, but his time on the court was encouraging after having missed two games over the last 10 days. There are shots […]
Gordon Hayward Struggles Off The Bench On Monday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward scored four points with eight rebounds, four assists and one steal on 1-for-6 shooting from the field. Hayward has gotten off to a slow start this season by shooting less than 40 percent from the floor, and his move to the bench was inevitable. There is a chance that his […]
Jayson Tatum Scores 18 Points
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 18 points to go along with six rebounds, two assists, one block, one steal and one three-pointer in Boston's road loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Tatum hasn't been entirely efficient from the field this season, shooting only 43.1 percent, but he is executing with a nearly 53.8 percent efficiency […]
Wesley Matthews Remains Out Monday Night
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) will sit out again Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. This was the expected result as Matthews was listed as doubtful before ultimately being a game-time decision. With J.J. Barea (groin) also out, Dorian Finney-Smith will most likely get all the minutes he can handle and would be a […]
Danilo Gallinari Ruled Out Monday Night
Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (illness) will not play Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Coach Doc Rivers noted Gallinari woke up with an illness and does not feel good enough to play.
