Tim Hardaway Jr.'s Shooting Woes Continue
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. had a nightmarish night shooting in a loss to the Bucks. He shot 1-for-14 from the field and 0-for-9 from downtown, which hurt, considering the Knicks lost by two. The last two games he has really struggled with his shot, totaling 22 misses on 24 shots. […]
T.J. Warren With a Terrible Game
Phoenix Sun forward T.J. Warren had a terrible outing in a 129-97 blowout loss to the Utah Jazz.

Norman Powell Goes for 11 Points Against the Blazers
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Norman Powell had a decent performance on Friday, scoring an efficient 11 points (5-for-7), with one trey against the Blazers. Powell wasn't overly effective anywhere else, pulling down a lonely rebound and three assists in the win while committing just one turnover in his 19 minutes. Powell has managed to work his […]
Caris LeVert is Probable on Friday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) is probable for Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like he is on track to return after missing three games. Head coach Kenny Atkinson unleashed the combo of D'Angelo Russell and Spencer Dinwiddie on Wednesday. It would not be surprising to see LeVert drift into a […]
C.J. Miles is Questionable on Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. Miles has missed each of the last two Raptors games. Norman Powell has seen increased playing time in the absence of Miles. Powell will likely play 20-plus minutes against the Blazers if Miles is unable to suit up for […]

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (leg) will not play against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. This marks his sixth straight game on the sidelines, but he has been working out. He is not likely going to return before the trade deadline. There have been multiple reports of Hood being on the trade block lately. Alec […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable on Friday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is questionable to play against the New York Knicks on Friday. He twisted his ankle pretty badly in Thursday's contest and was unable to put any weight on it after the game. Jabari Parker (knee) is expected to play, but it won't make up for the loss of Giannis. […]
Andrew Wiggins Only Scores Seven Points
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins struggled mightily on Thursday night. He scored just a measly seven points on 3-for-10 shooting and also went 1-for-2 from the foul line.

OG Anunoby Goes for 11 Points on Thursday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby filled in for C.J. Miles (knee) on Thursday, scoring 11 points in the starting lineup with three makes coming from deep.

C.J. Miles Will Not Play Thursday Night
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) has been ruled out Thursday night against the Washington Wizards. This marks his second straight game out with knee soreness, though the injury is not considered serious.

JaMychal Green And James Ennis Will Play Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies forwards JaMychal Green (ankle) and James Ennis (calf) will return to game action Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. Green has missed the past five games, while Ennis has missed the past seven. With Green's return, Jarell Martin will return to the bench and lose most of his already limited value. With Ennis […]
C.J. Miles is Questionable on Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He did not go through shootaround and has been experiencing some knee soreness. Norman Powell filled in nicely for Miles on Tuesday. He's expected to do the same if Miles is forced to the sidelines again. Powell is not worth […]
Marvin Williams Ruled Out Friday
Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) will not play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The Hornets have ruled him out early for the second game in a row.

Gary Harris is Probable on Thursday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Kyle Anderson Has a Favorable Matchup Against Houston
San Antonio Spurs forward Kyle Anderson could be in line for a solid game against the Rockets on Thursday. With the team missing forward Trevor Ariza (hamstring) and possibly guards Eric Gordon (back) and Chris Paul (groin), Anderson will likely be matched up initially with forward Luc Mbah a Moute, who is sporting a defensive […]
Nicolas Batum Scores A Triple-Double
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum scored 10 points with 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a win over Atlanta on Wednesday. It was Batum's eighth career triple-double and fourth triple-double as a Hornet -- third highest in franchise history, Batum looks to be finally rounding into shape. Over the last two weeks, Batum is averaging […]
Harrison Barnes Just Misses a Double-Double
Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes didn't shoot the ball well on Wednesday night in Phoenix, going 5-for-17 from the floor for 15 points, but he did some great work on the glass, grabbing nine rebounds in the loss. He has been struggling as of late, as he has made less than 50 percent of […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Drops 21 Points On The Grizz
Indiana Pacers forward Bojan Bogdanovic led his team in scoring in the win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
