Ben Simmons Hops Back on the All-Star Campaign Trail on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons had another strong performance on Wednesday against the Nets, scoring 24 points on an efficient 11-for-16 shooting in the game. Simmons wasn't his usual self on the glass, picking up only two boards on the night, but was dishing the ball out left, right and center, finishing with seven […]

Robert Covington Does it All But at a Very Low Volume on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington's midseason struggles resumed on Wednesday against the Nets, as he scored just six points on a mere three attempts, including one three-pointer in his 31 minutes. Covington gave owners one of everything in Brooklyn, chipping in one assist, one rebound, one block and one steal in the loss. Covington looked […]

Brandon Ingram Puts Up a Solid Line

Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram posted a solid line Wednesday night in a 127-105 loss to the Orlando Magic. Ingram finished the night with 13 points on five of 12 shooting from the floor to go along with five assists and five rebounds. Ingram has not been the most consistent of players this season, […]

Lance Stephenson Ready To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is available to play against his former team Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies. Stephenson was questionable with a thigh injury, but it was labeled as minor. Stephenson will take his usual bench role of 23.2 minutes per game. Lately, his scoring has been up from his season average of 8.9 […]

Nikola Mirotic Being Held Out Until Trade Deadline Passes

Chicago Bulls power forward Nikola Mirotic will not play for Chicago before the trade deadline. Mirotic was rumored to have been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, but the trade eventually fell through. The Bulls have opted to sit Mirotic for the near future while they try to find a suitor for his […]

Lance Stephenson is Questionable on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. It is not that big of an issue, so if he does sit on Wednesday, it'll likely just be a one-game absence. Bojan Bogdanovic and Cory Joseph would split the majority of the minutes if Stephenson is out. […]

Dillon Brooks is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (knee) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. He tweaked his knee on Monday, and it would not be surprising if the Grizzlies decide to give him the night off. If Brooks is out, Jarell Martin, Wayne Selden and Kobi Simmons would see increased minutes and usage. […]

Paul Zipser Will Start on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser will draw the start against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Lauri Markkanen (personal) has been ruled out, which gives Zipser the rare start. Zipser is not expected to see many minutes on the floor. Nikola Mirotic (leg) is expected to be available, but might not play due to trade […]

Aaron Gordon is Questionable on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) is questionable to play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. He did not play on Tuesday versus the Houston Rockets, and it sounds like he'll likely be on the sidelines for one more game. Mario Hezonja started for Gordon and scored 17 points in 25 minutes. He's a […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Scores 15 Points In 25 Minutes

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. played only 25 minutes on Tuesday after taking a hard fall/foul in the previous game against the Phoenix Suns. He did score 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting but recorded only one rebound and three steals. Hardaway is still working to get back into form, as he […]

Kyle Anderson Bounces Back On Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Kyle Anderson was at it again on Tuesday against Denver after a few duds in a row, getting a career-high 18 points on 9-for-12 shooting. Only LaMarcus Aldridge logged more minutes than Anderson's 35 and he also filled the stat sheet with five rebounds, two blocks, and a steal. Anderson averaged […]

Luc Mbah A Moute Goes Unnoticed In Start

Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute made his sixth start of the season on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, but didn't do much in 39 minutes, scoring only eight points and getting a couple of rebounds and a steal. The outing was a massive disappointment, as Mbah a Moute had been great in previous […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 16

The first big move ahead of the trade deadline rocked the NBA on Monday, when Blake Griffin was traded to the Pistons. Luckily for fantasy basketball owners, it shouldn't do much to the primary names involved. Griffin will still be the main option in Detroit, and Tobias Harris should continue to get the looks he became […]

Reggie Bullock Makes Most Out Of Opportunity

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock had an efficient game once again from the field, scoring 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting in addition to adding four threes in the win over the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers. The five-year veteran has been a consistent threat from the perimeter all season long and should prosper even more with the addition of […]

Kevin Durant With Rare Off Night

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant struggled against the Jazz, going only 5-for-13 from the field for a pedestrian 17 points in 30 minutes of action. Durant did not hit a single three-pointer in five attempts, and he didn't register a block either. Head coach Steve Kerr did wave the white flag early, pulling out […]

Klay Thompson The Lone Bright Spot For Warriors

Golden Staten Warriors guard Klay Thompson was the only one who had it going on Tuesday night, as he shot 12-for-17 for 27 points in a 99-129 blowout loss against the Jazz. Thompson added three triples, six boards and three assists to go along with a pair of blocks. The great thing about Thompson is […]

Evan Fournier Fails To Live Up To Expectations In Loss to Houston

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored just 12 points in a loss to Houston on Tuesday. Fournier is the second leading scorer on the Magic, and with Aaron Gordon (hip) out, many expected Fournier to take the lion's share of the shots on Tuesday. The Frenchman didn't even lead the team in shot attempts, and […]

Otto Porter Heating Up

Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter was magnificent on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Porter led the Wiz to a win with a team-high 25 points on 8-for-13 shooting along with six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Porter is finding himself in a groove now without point guard […]

Kevin Love Breaks Hand Against Detroit

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (hand) played only five minutes before breaking his hand in Tuesday night's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Love officially suffered a non-displacement fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his left hand. Even though it is his non-shooting hand, expect Love to be about at least six to eight weeks. This puts his […]

Paul George Falls Short In The Second Half

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George put up a subpar second-half performance as the Thunder fell on the road to the John Wall-less Washington Wizards 102-96. George notched 28 points on 8-for-14 shooting from the field, but he managed only eight points in the second half as OKC failed to grab their fifth straight W. The […]

C.J. Miles Will Not Play Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) will miss Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Miles is dealing with a sore knee, so it doesn't seem serious, but his availability for Thursday is in question. Guards Delon Wright and Fred VanVleet will split up the bulk of the minutes while Norman Powell should see some […]

Evan Fournier Expects to Play Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (ankle) is expected to play against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. He practiced fully on Monday after rolling his ankle in Saturday's game. He was able to finish the game, so the injury does not sound too serious. Fournier should be ready to go on Tuesday, but official confirmation will […]

Garrett Temple is Probable on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. He did not play on Sunday against the Spurs, but is on track to return on Tuesday. Temple's return will mean less minutes for guys like Buddy Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and George Hill. It's become difficult to trust anyone […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Won't Play Against Knicks

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) will not play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Both RHJ and Caris LeVert (groin) will be sidelined for the second straight contest. Head coach Kenny Atkinson expects RHJ to miss a few more games. DeMarre Carroll will see an extended opportunity on Tuesday. Quincy Acy could be […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) will not play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Head coach Kenny Atkinson was being cautious and held LeVert out of Saturday's game versus Minnesota. He does not believe it's anything serious, but LeVert will spend at least one more game on the sidelines. Nik Stauskas played 33 […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (gluteus) will play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's been targeting this return date for quite some time, and he will be available for the first time this month. Head coach Doc Rivers would like to ease Gallinari back into things since he's only played 11 games this […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. He left Monday's game against Indiana late in the fourth quarter and was unable to return. The X-rays came back negative, but Williams does have an ankle sprain. Frank Kaminsky will likely move into the starting five on […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Houston

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gordon played 40 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Pacers, but did not practice on Monday. The Magic play on Wednesday as well, so Gordon is in danger of missing both contests. Mario Hezonja is expected to join […]

Jayson Tatum Scores 20 Points In Win Over Denver

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a nice night on Monday as the Celtics took care of business in Denver. Tatum had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting to go with his nice line of six rebounds, four assists and a block. Tatum’s hot start to the season has given way to some inconsistencies. The talent […]

Wilson Chandler is Probable on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is probable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. He did not play in Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics but appears to be on track to return on Tuesday. Will Barton logged 41 minutes on Monday but will see a reduced role if Chandler is back […]
