Utah Jazz shooting guard Rodney Hood erupted in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.

Evan Fournier Has Another Tepid Night

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored just 13 points in a win over Miami on Monday. Fournier just didn't seem really engaged in this one. He shot 6-for-13 from the field and an anemic 1-for-4 from three. He did not attempt a free throw. This is Fournier's second consecutive below-average game and with the trade-deadline […]

Otto Porter Struggles From Deep

Wilson Chandler is Probable Against Hornets

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is probable to play in Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He did not go through shootaround, but did play 24 minutes in Saturday's victory over Golden State. Chandler has not played well lately, but maybe his illness is a factor. He's expected to play on Monday, but Will […]

Marvin Williams is Doubtful on Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams has already missed three games in a row.

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Next Two Games

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Gordon will not play versus the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, and pulled himself out of the dunk contest.

Evan Turner Questionable on Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Shabazz Napier (toe) is also questionable for Monday's contest, but Turner did play with the same injury on Sunday. Moe Harkless and Pat Connaughton would see increased minutes, if Turner or Napier are unable to play. It's difficult to […]

Harrison Barnes Ruled Out Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Barnes did not go through shootaround and it is unclear whether he'll be able to play on Thursday versus the Golden State Warriors.

Dillon Brooks Keeps Shooting Well From Deep

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks had another good outing from behind the arc on Sunday against Toronto, making two of his five treys, which helped him finish with 12 points in 27 minutes.

Pascal Siakam has Another Solid Performance

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam did his thing again on Sunday, shooting 4-for-9 from the field to finish with 10 points in 25 minutes. Siakam chipped in three boards and three assists as well, while terrorizing the Grizzlies on defense, picking up one steal and three blocks in the win. He and Jokab Poeltl were […]

Harrison Barnes Leads Dallas With 18 Points Against Kings

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes scored a team high 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting on Saturday as the Mavericks beat the Sacramento Kings. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, Barnes didn't do much else in the game, finishing with just two rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Barnes remains a solid fantasy option, but owners […]

James Johnson Plays Well With Second Unit

Miami Heat forward James Johnson was moved to the bench Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons, but had his best performance in the past week. Johnson shot 7-for-12 from the field for 18 points to go along with seven assists, five rebounds, three three-pointers and two steals in 29 minutes. This is encouraging for owners […]

Josh Richardson Fills The Stat Sheet Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson contributed across the board Saturday night against the Detroit Pistons. Richardson posted 19 points, six assists, three three-pointers, three steals, a rebound and a block in 36 minutes.

Tobias Harris Thrives in Clippers Debut

Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris was superb in his first game in a Clippers uniform, scoring an efficient 24 points on 10 of 19 shooting. Harris added three triples, four boards, and a block in the win, as Harris will take a bulk of Blake Griffin's 17.5 shot attempts when he was a Clipper. […]

Danilo Gallinari Looks Healthy

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (glute) put up another outstanding performance, scoring 24 points with 9 rebounds in a 113-103 win over the Bulls on Saturday. It was Gallinari's second game back from a partial tear in his glute, and he has looked good in both games. The Italian Stallion buried three treys from […]

Wilson Chandler is Probable Against Warriors

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is probable to play against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. He had an illness last weekend the kept him out of two games, so it is possible he is not fully over it yet. Chandler did return on Thursday and played 34 minutes in the victory over OKC. […]

Joe Johnson Ruled Out Saturday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Joe Johnson (rest) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It is a back-to-back set, so it is not surprising the Jazz decide to rest their veteran. Johnson reportedly wanted out of Utah, but maybe that changed after a four game winning streak. Royce O'Neale should see […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Wizards

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be Gordon's third straight contest on the sidelines.

Iggy does not have much fantasy impact […]

Nicolas Batum Has Breakout Game

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum scored a season-high 31 points in a win against Indiana on Friday. Batum followed up a triple-double on Wednesday by draining a season-high seven threes. He also added nine rebounds. That's three straight productive games from Batum and it is safe to say any lingering affects from his elbow injury […]

Joe Ingles Stays Hot Against Suns

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles continued his hot shooting in a blow out win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. Ingles scored 16 points on an efficient 6-for-9 shooting, with four of those making being three-pointers. Ingles has been scorching hot from three-point range recently.
