Tobias Harris Gets Off To Hot Start Versus Raptors
Los Angeles Clippers small forward Tobias Harris got off to a great start on Sunday, scoring 13 points in the first quarter against the Raptors and he ended up reaching 20 for the first time in last five outings.

Carmelo Anthony's Cold Shooting Continues
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony was disastrous once again on Sunday, hitting only three of his 13 shot attempts from the field in a 105-108 loss against the Blazers. He's been bad for most of the season, as his career and production is really starting to trend down. He's averaging only 13.2 points per […]
Otto Porter Records Double-Double Against Knicks
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter contributed across the board Sunday against the New York Knicks, but was not able to lead his team to a win.

Draymond Green is Probable on Sunday
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (groin) is probable for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He missed Friday's game due to the same issue and played just 12 minutes the game prior. The Warriors are banged up right now and could use Green's help. However, it would not be surprising to see the Warriors […]
Nick Young is Probable on Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Nick Young (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He rolled his ankle in Friday's victory over the Hawks and did not return.

Garrett Temple Won't Play Sunday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He'll now miss his second game in a row with an ankle issue.

Gary Harris Targeting March 30th Return
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (knee) will miss at least two more games. Harris will now miss at least six games due to a knee issue. These are important games for Denver, but they do not want to risk Harris' health and future over them. Will Barton is expected to continue to start for Harris. […]
Lance Thomas Ruled Out Sunday
New York Knicks guard/forward Lance Thomas (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be his fourth straight game sidelined due to a family matter. Thomas was only worth owning in deeper leagues anyway, so this is not a big problem for fantasy owners. Michael Beasley has been fantastic […]
Jaylen Brown is Probable on Sunday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (concussion) is probable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Brown went through some shooting drills on Thursday, and said he's likely returning for Sunday's contest. He's missed six straight games and the Celtics could definitely use his help right now. Shane Larkin and Marcus Morris will lose minutes once […]

Tyreke Evans Won't Play on Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (personal) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It's reportedly an excused absence due to a family illness. Evans played just 19 minutes on Thursday and committed six turnovers. Fantasy owners should go ahead and drop Evans at this point in the season. There should […]
T.J. Warren Unlikely to Play Saturday
Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (knee) is unlikely to play in Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. This could be his third straight game on the sidelines and he could be out for the season. The Suns are playing for draft positioning and are not going to let Warren play until he's 100 percent. […]
Luc Mbah a Moute is Doubtful on Saturday
Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's contests versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Mbah a Moute is doubtful for Saturday and is uncertain for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. On Thursday, D'Antoni said Mbah a Moute has been dealing with tendonitis and could miss […]
Nikola Mirotic is Questionable Against Rockets
New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The details about the injury have not been revealed, but this does not seem too serious. Mirotic is still being listed as questionable, so fantasy owners should not be too worried. Emeka Okafor and Cheick Diallo should […]
LeBron James Leads Cleveland In Scoring Against Phoenix
Cleveland Cavaliers small forward LeBron James shot well on Friday, finishing with 27 points on 11-for-16 shooting to lead the Cavaliers to a win over the Suns. James is, obviously, a top fantasy option, and the return of Kevin Love hasn't hurt his value. LeBron did more than score on Friday as well, as he […]
Josh Jackson Continues Strong Run
Phoenix Suns rookie small forward Josh Jackson has spent much of this season looking inconsistent and not ready for the NBA game, but his recent play indicates that he might be starting to meet his potential. Jackson, who scored 36 points against the Warriors last week, had 17 points against the Cavaliers on Friday. Though […]
Taurean Prince Gets Going Again On Friday Night
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince regained his scoring touch in Friday's loss to the Warriors, getting 20 points in 32 minutes, shooting 6-for-18 from the field and 4-for-8 from downtown.
