Kevin Durant Gets Held in Check by Celtics

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant struggled against the Boston Celtics. KD finished with 20 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal. It wasn't a terrible game by any means, but it was possibly his worst performance this month. His two assists were also a low in January, as he had been […]

Klay Thompson Struggles from the Field Against the Celtics

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson struggled from the floor against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star only made only three of 12 from the field and was 0-for-4 from deep and now has had three games in his last eight without a make from behind the arc. He did salvage his poor shooting night with […]

Evan Fournier's Ankle is "Sensitive" After Loss to Indiana

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (ankle) scored 21 points with three threes in a loss to Indiana on Saturday. Fournier shot 9-for-16 from the field and 3-for-6 from three, but the main talk was about Fournier and his ankle. With the Magic holding an 18-point lead in the third quarter, Fournier drained a three but landed […]

Jaylen Brown Has a Great Night Scoring the Ball

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown was feeling it against the Warriors on Saturday, shooting 6-for-9 from the field, to finish with 20 points, including three triples in his 34 minutes. Brown didn't contribute much else, however, adding just two rebounds while committing just as many turnovers in this one. He's really come out to play […]

Jayson Tatum Disappears Against the Warriors

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum couldn't get it going against the Dubs in Oakland on Saturday, scoring just four points on a very poor 2-for-9 from the field. Tatum's only redeeming stats in this one came in the rebounding column, picking up five boards on the night, with one steal as well in his 28 […]

Marcus Morris Keeps Getting Buckets on Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris was solid again on Saturday, scoring 12 points on 5-for-15 shooting, including one trey in his 32 minutes. Morris was rebounding the ball well in this one as well, hauling down eight boards in the loss. He didn't do much else, but added two assists and one steal for good […]

Aaron Gordon Drops Fourth Straight Double-Double

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon scored 22 points with 11 rebounds in a loss to Indiana on Saturday. Gordon has been a double-double machine the last four games. He's averaging 16.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and three assists during that time span. While Gordon is still putting up nice numbers, his shooting has been in a […]

Kevin Durant is Probable on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (foot) is probable to play against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. The foot soreness did not limit him too much when he dropped a triple-double on Thursday. The Warriors are likely just being cautious, but it's doubtful Durant sits out on Saturday. Owners should not worry too much about […]

Jimmy Butler is Questionable on Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Butler is "close," but the final decision will be made after pre-game warmups. Butler has missed the last four games but appears to be on track to return on Saturday. DFS main-slate rosters will […]

Reggie Bullock is Probable on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) is probable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. He was listed as questionable on Friday but has been upgraded to probable. He's on track to return to the lineup on Saturday. Bullock's return will move Stanley Johnson back to the bench. Johnson had seven points and […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Ruled Out Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. RHJ suffered the injury in Friday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. It's the second of a back-to-back set, so the Nets have decided to play it safe. Hopefully RHJ is able to get back on the court Tuesday […]

Harrison Barnes Leads Mavericks In Scoring Against Trail Blazers

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes led Dallas in scoring on Friday night as the Mavericks lost to the Portland Trail Blazers. Barnes scored 21 points on 6-for-15 shooting.

Darius Miller Scores 20 Points Off The Bench On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Darius Miller came off the bench on Friday and had his highest scoring game since November with 20 points on 6-for-11 shooting. All six of those made shots were from behind the three-point line and only one of the shot attempts came from inside the arc. Miller has become a […]

Dario Saric Scores 15 Points With Two Threes

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric had a nice game on Friday, posting 15 points and eight rebounds, and he was also 2-for-4 from downtown, which is representative of his improvement on the season. Making only slight improvements in his counting stats in his sophomore year, he has taken big strides with his three-point efficiency and […]

Taurean Prince with Good Opportunity Against Wizards

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince has an intriguing matchup against the Wizards on Saturday. Prince has played well as of late despite most of his team struggling, averaging over 15 points in two of his last three contests. With the Wizards giving up the most points to small forwards over the last 10 contests combined while […]

Nicolas Batum Starting To Find His Rhythm

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum produced one of his best all-around lines of the season against Atlanta on Friday. Batum scored 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting while making three from downtown. He also added four rebounds, eight assists, and one steal. In Batum's last eight games, he's averaging 14.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists and […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Looks Fine in Return

New York Knicks shooting guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) returned from his one-game absence on Friday, looking as sharp as ever while scoring 15 points with one triple in his game-high 34 minutes of action. Hardaway chipped in a little across the board, putting up seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in […]

DeMarre Carroll Nears Double-Double In Milwaukee

Brooklyn Nets small forward DeMarre Carroll neared a double-double in a losing effort against the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 14 points and grabbing nine rebounds in what was another consistently strong game for the veteran forward. Carroll isn’t the type of player that is going to set the world on fire, but with his current situation, […]

C.J. Miles Scores 10 Points Against the Jazz

Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles was decent on Friday against Utah, scoring 10 points with two treys in the losing effort. Miles also added two rebounds while playing some fine defense, picking up both a block and a steal in this one. His numbers rarely jump off the page, and he hasn't exactly been a […]

Tyreke Evans is Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is questionable to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) and Ben McLemore (knee) are also listed as questionable for this contest. The injuries continue to pile up for the Grizzlies, but owners will likely need to wait until closer to tip-off before final […]

Evan Turner Ruled Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner (personal) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be just the second game Turner has missed all season. It's unclear the reasoning for his absence, but hopefully it's just one game. Maurice Harkless is expected to rejoin the rotation without Turner playing on […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play for Friday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks decided to sit him each of the last two games in order to manage his soreness in his right knee. The plan all along was for Antetokounmpo to return on Friday. It appears he has […]

Michael Beasley Drops 21 Points Off the Bench

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley got some extra opportunity in Denver with guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) missing Thursday's game against the Nuggets as part of his recovery plan. Beasley was effective as a scorer, racking up a very efficient 21 points (6-for-8) with one three-pointer made in his 28 minutes of action. He […]

Jimmy Butler Remains Out Thursday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will sit Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors. This will mark Butler's fourth straight game out with a knee injury. In his absence, Nemanja Bjelica will start for the fourth straight game and has played admirably. Over the last three games, Bjelica has averaged 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds […]

Gary Harris Available Against The Knicks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) will be available to play Thursday night against the New York Knicks. Harris was listed as questionable coming into the game, but ultimately feels good enough to play. Being available does not necessarily mean Harris will play his normal minutes, making him a risky option for DFS contests. Guards […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Return Thursday

New York Knicks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will play Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets. Porzingis only missed one game with a sore knee but will return Thursday as expected. Michael Beasley will return to the bench but is always a solid option when Porzingis misses a game. Porzingis is a risky option, as […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Out Thursday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Thursday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. There are no details circulating as to why Hardaway is sitting, but it is most likely a maintenance day as the Knicks enter the first night of a back-to-back. Forward Lance Thomas will likely bump into […]

Zach Randolph Starting Thursday

Sacramento Kings power forward Zach Randolph (knee) is back in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Miami Heat. Randolph was probable Tuesday night but not activated on the lineup, so his return comes at no surprise. The Kings have been using a resting "system" for their veterans in order to get more run for […]

Harrison Barnes Disappointing in Loss to Houston

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes missed both of his three-pointers and shot 5-for-12 overall on Wednesday in a 104-97 loss at home to the Houston Rockets. Barnes started the game coming off of a nice 20-point, 10-rebound double-double against Washington on Monday. He ended up being passive on the boards as well with only five rebounds […]

Trevor Ariza Pours in 23 Points Against the Mavs

Houston Rockets small forward Trevor Ariza found his scoring touch again in Wednesday's win over Dallas, getting 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting, making five of a season-high 14 attempts from deep. Ariza had scored just three points in the previous game, which was his first one after a two-game suspension. He also managed four rebounds, […]
